Frequently Asked Questions
CBD is short for Cannabidiol, a naturally occurring chemical compound found in the cannabis plant. Unlike its cousin THC, CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it will not cause a “high.” It is primarily extracted from the hemp variety of the Cannabis sativa plant.
Cannabis is a species of plant. Hemp and Marijuana are varieties of this species. Hemp is legally defined as any cannabis plant containing 0.3% or less THC, and it is typically bred for high CBD content. Marijuana contains significantly higher levels of THC and is psychoactive.
Yes, in Texas CBD is fully legal. CBD derived from hemp (containing less than 0.3% THC) was made federally legal in the United States by the 2018 Farm Bill. However, state and local laws regarding CBD can vary, so it is best to check the regulations in your specific location.
CBD oil is made by extracting the cannabinoid compounds from the hemp plant material. All SUNMED products are processed by CO2 extraction, which uses pressurized carbon dioxide to pull the CBD and other beneficial compounds (like terpenes and minor cannabinoids) from the plant without using harsh chemical solvents.
No, CBD is not considered to be addictive. Research from the World Health Organization (WHO) and other bodies suggests that CBD has a good safety profile and does not carry a risk of dependence or abuse.
- Full-Spectrum contains all the natural compounds of the hemp plant, including CBD, minor cannabinoids, terpenes, and up to 0.3% THC.
 - Broad-Spectrum contains all the natural compounds of the hemp plant except for THC, which has been removed.
 CBD Isolate is pure CBD, with all other cannabinoids and plant materials removed.
The Entourage Effect is the theory that CBD, minor cannabinoids (like CBG, CBN), and terpenes work together synergistically to produce a greater overall effect on the body than any single compound can achieve on its own (like an Isolate).
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in hemp and many other plants (like lavender, pine, and citrus). They give the plant its distinct smell and flavor, and they also contribute to the plant’s therapeutic effects by interacting with the body’s systems.
The best choice depends on your desired results and lifestyle: Oils/Tinctures offer quick absorption under the tongue. Gummies/Edibles provide a pre-measured dose and are discreet, but have a slower absorption time. Topicals (creams/balms) are used for localized relief on muscles and joints.
Here at Your CBD Store Keller, each staff member can give you one on one guidance in finding what product will work best for you.
To maintain potency and freshness, store all CBD products in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture. A cupboard or pantry is usually ideal.
A COA is a document from an accredited, third-party laboratory that verifies the contents of a CBD product. It confirms the exact concentration of CBD and THC, and tests for contaminants like heavy metals and pesticides. We proudly provide a COA for every product to ensure transparency and safety.
The most effective method for oil tinctures is sublingual administration (under the tongue). Drop the oil under your tongue and hold it there for 60 to 90 seconds before swallowing. This allows the compounds to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream for faster results.
There is no single correct serving size. We recommend following the golden rule: “Start low and go slow.” Based on clinical studies we suggest to start with 30-50mg once or twice a day and gradually increase it every few days until you find the amount that provides the desired effect.
This depends on the method of consumption: Sublingual Tinctures usually take effect within 15–45 minutes. Edibles (Gummies, Capsules) take longer, typically 1–2 hours. Topicals can offer localized relief in minutes.
The effects of CBD typically last anywhere from 4 to 6 hours, though this can vary based on the serving size, consumption method, and individual metabolism.
Most standard workplace drug tests screen for THC, not CBD. However, Full-Spectrum products contain trace amounts of THC (up to 0.3%), which could theoretically accumulate over time and lead to a positive result. If drug testing is a concern, we recommend choosing a Broad-Spectrum product, which is processed to remove all detectable THC but could still result in a failed drug test.
The ECS is a complex cell-signaling system identified in the early 1990s. It exists in all mammals and plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis (balance) in the body. It regulates a wide range of functions, including sleep, mood, appetite, pain sensation, and immune response. CBD works by interacting with the receptors within this system
CBD interacts indirectly with the ECS. Rather than binding directly to the primary ECS receptors (CB1 and CB2) like THC does, CBD is believed to encourage the body to produce and better utilize its own natural cannabinoids (endocannabinoids). This interaction helps the ECS maintain a healthy state of balance across the body’s various systems.
