CBD, or cannabidiol, is a nonintoxicating phytocannabinoid (a naturally occurring plant compound) found in hemp and other cannabis plants. CBD has been shown to have a variety of beneficial effects.

Unlike THC, another cannabinoid commonly found in marijuana, CBD does not cause a high. Full-spectrum CBD products (like ours) do contain <0.3% THC, but this amount is nowhere near enough to cause any psychoactive effects.

Hemp and marijuana are both cannabis plants, but they differ in THC content. Legally, a hemp plant is a cannabis plant that contains 0.3% THC or less, and a marijuana plant is one that contains more than 0.3% THC. 

Yes! CBD is a federally legal due to the fact that it contains less than 0.3% THC.

Yes! The source of your CBD is one of the most important factors in determining whether your CBD regimen will be effective. For starters, the soil conditions used to grow the hemp plants your CBD is extracted from can set the final CBD product up for success or failure. At Verist, we choose the areas of our farm where we know the soil will be able to best nurture the right mix of cannabinoids and terpenes to produce the most therapeutic CBD. We also use clean, green, natural farming practices so no chemicals or pesticides are introduced to the crop—or into your body. But the most important differentiator in buying from a brand like Verist is the fact that our CBD comes from a single origin. This means that when you start a CBD regimen with our products, you’ll be able to experience more consistent benefits than you would with a brand who gets their CBD from a variety of different sources. When you choose a single-origin brand, you can be sure you’re getting exactly what you expect, every time.

To start, we recommend trying the recommended serving size marked on the package and increasing or decreasing your dose from there. Always be sure to talk with your doctor before using if you are taking any other medications.

We always recommend talking with your doctor before using CBD if you are taking any other medications.

The FDA strongly advises against the use of CBD in any form during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. We always recommend talking with your doctor if you have any additional questions or concerns.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to CBD, and its effects can vary person by person. That’s why we organize our products based on how CBD can benefit you:

pain & recovery, sleep & relaxation, stress relief & clarity.

While CBD does affect everyone differently, it is important to follow the directions listed on the package for best results—and to continue to use it consistently, even if you don’t feel or notice results right away. It can take a while for CBD to reach its peak effectiveness.

It may take up to two weeks of consistently using CBD for you to feel its effects, and how long it takes you to experience effects or benefits does vary from person to person. Once you’ve established your CBD routine, it typically takes one to two hours to feel the effects of each dose—shorter for ingestible products like our oils and gummies and longer for topical products like our body butters and salve. Depending on how much is in your body, the effects of CBD can last from two to six hours.

Cannabinol (CBN) is another cannabinoid found in cannabis plants. CBN has sedative properties and is most commonly used as a sleep aid (similar to melatonin) that can help people fall asleep quicker and stay asleep longer. Additionally, CBN has been shown to help with pain management and immune system support. 

CBD and CBN are both naturally occurring cannabinoids found in cannabis plants. While they interact with the same receptors in the body, CBD is non-psychoactive, while CBN can be mildly psychoactive because it's a byproduct of natural THC degradation (its effects are nowhere near as strong as THC, though). Due to its sedative properties, CBN is used mainly as a sleep aid, while CBD has a broader range of recommended uses.
