What Is CBD and How Does It Work?
CBD, short for cannabidiol compound, is a plant-derived cannabinoid present in the cannabis plant. It binds to receptors in the body's ECS, a sophisticated regulatory network that influences sleep, mood, pain perception. Unlike THC, CBD does not bind directly to the CB1 receptors responsible for psychoactive effects, which is why it will not produce intoxicating sensations.

Ingestible formats may take one to two hours to fully kick in. Skin-applied products work at the site of application and generally provide targeted relief within 30 to 60 minutes.

CBD pricing vary quite a bit depending on concentration and delivery method, and brand. Basic options may start around $20 to $30. Full-spectrum concentrates or professionally crafted products can go up to $80 or above. Our staff can guide you toward good products at different price points.
Is CBD painful to use?
CBD is well-tolerated by nearly all adults. Certain people may experience mild digestive discomfort when first starting higher doses of ingestible formats. Applied products are almost never associated with skin reactions, though people with sensitive skin should test a small area first.
How long do CBD's effects last?
