Question 1

What is CBD?

Accepted Answer

CBD is one of many cannabinoids found in both industrial hemp, and cannabis.

Question 2

What is CBD Oil?

Accepted Answer

CBD oil is a broad term used to describe a tincture made up of a carrier oil, cannabinoid extracts, terpenes, and flavorings. Our Colorado Cures tinctures come in a variety of flavors and concentrations.

Question 3

How is our CBD oil manufactured?

Accepted Answer

Our Colorado Cures tinctures are made of the highest quality ingredients. Our CBD isolate is extracted in the state of Colorado. From there it is combined with MCT coconut oil and natural flavorings. We isolate our CBD through a CO2 extraction process which is both clean and efficient at isolating the maximum amount of CBD per batch allowing us to pass the savings on to you.

Question 4

What is the difference between hemp and marijuana?

Accepted Answer

Both medical marijuana and industrial hemp are known as the plant species cannabis sativa. The one factor that differs is the amount of THC, the psychoactive cannabinoid present within the plant. The 2018 farm bill defines any cannabis sativa plant with less than .3% THC to be classified as industrial hemp. Anything with more than .3% is defined as marijuana.

Question 5

Is CBD oil illegal?

Accepted Answer

While some states have laws restricting CBD sales, CBD is not illegal. The 2018 farm bill also outlines rules for hemp derived products, such as CBD isolate, and tinctures. It was found that since hemp is no longer classified alongside marijuana on the DEA's list of dangerous drugs it is completely legal to own, use, and transport.

Question 6

How should I store my CBD?

Accepted Answer

CBD and products containing CBD should be stored in a cool, dark place. This is because over time both heat and light can degrade CBD.

Question 7

What is the shelf life of CBD?

Accepted Answer

Isolated CBD will have a shelf life of 2 years. This of course can vary based upon a number of variables. Things like light exposure or exposure to heat will cause this shelf life to shorten. In some cases, like with brownies the shelf life may be significantly shorter due to the ingredients other than CBD contained within that type of product.

Question 8

Will I fail a drug test if I use CBD?

Accepted Answer

We offer products which contain a wide range of cannabinoids. We offer full spectrum products, which contain up to 113 cannabinoids including up to .3% THC per serving. We also offer broad spectrum products which can contain up to 109 cannabinoids. Even though broad spectrum products do not contain any THC there is a possibility of a positive drug test result with these products. Anyone with drug testing concerns should consider using products only containing CBD. We refer to these products as Isolate.

Question 9

What is the best method of use?

Accepted Answer

Every person will react to cannabinoids differently. For this reason it is important to do research to determine the best method of administration for you personally. We offer a wide range of products, from tinctures, to gummies, to topicals and more.

Question 10

Will I get high from using CBD?

Accepted Answer

CBD is not known to be psychoactive. All of our products contain .3% or less THC per serving meaning there is no need to worry about intoxicating effects.

Question 11

Where can you find third party test results for our products?

Accepted Answer

To find third party lab results, simply find the product you would like to purchase on our website. From within the product's page just look for the Lab Results link to be taken to the test results for that product.

Question 16

Why does Colorado Cures carry more than just CBD?

Accepted Answer

We've expanded beyond CBD into a full range of hemp-derived cannabinoids. Below are answers to the most common questions about Delta-9, Delta-8, THCA, HHC, CBG, and CBN.

Question 17

What is Delta-9 THC, and how is it different from marijuana-derived THC?

Accepted Answer

Delta-9 THC is the primary psychoactive cannabinoid found in both hemp and marijuana plants. Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived products like our Delta-9 gummies come from hemp containing 0.3% or less Delta-9 THC by dry weight, the same federal threshold used to classify hemp. Marijuana-derived THC products come from cannabis plants that exceed that threshold and fall under separate state marijuana regulations.

Question 18

What's the difference between Delta-8 THC and Delta-9 THC?

Accepted Answer

Delta-8 and Delta-9 are both naturally occurring cannabinoids with similar chemical structures, though Delta-9 is generally considered more potent. Both can be derived from hemp under the same 0.3% THC threshold. Effects and legal treatment can vary by product and by state, so if you're new to either, start low and go slow, and check the Certificate of Analysis for the specific product you're considering.

Question 19

What is THCA?

Accepted Answer

THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the raw, non-intoxicating precursor to THC found in the hemp plant. It converts to Delta-9 THC when heated, a process called decarboxylation, such as when it's smoked or vaporized. Because of this, THCA products are subject to ongoing regulatory discussion, and their legal status can differ significantly by state.

Question 20

What is HHC?

Accepted Answer

HHC (hexahydrocannabinol) is a hydrogenated form of THC, similar to how vegetable oil is hydrogenated into margarine. It occurs naturally in trace amounts in hemp and can also be produced from CBD. Like other hemp-derived cannabinoids, its legal status varies by state.

Question 21

What is CBG?

Accepted Answer

CBG (cannabigerol) is often called the mother cannabinoid because other cannabinoids, including CBD and THC, are derived from it as the hemp plant matures. It's non-intoxicating and typically found in smaller concentrations than CBD.

Question 22

What is CBN?

Accepted Answer

CBN (cannabinol) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid that forms naturally as THC ages and breaks down over time. Many customers look for CBN specifically for evening routines, though we don't make medical claims; check with a healthcare provider about what's right for you.

Question 23

What's the difference between full spectrum, broad spectrum, and CBD isolate?

Accepted Answer

Full spectrum products contain the widest range of naturally occurring cannabinoids, up to 113, including up to 0.3% THC per serving. Broad spectrum products are processed to remove THC while keeping most other cannabinoids (up to 109). CBD isolate contains only pure CBD, with no other cannabinoids or THC. If you're subject to drug testing, isolate is the lowest-risk option.

Question 24

Are hemp-derived THC products like Delta-9 gummies legal in my state?

Accepted Answer

Federally, hemp-derived products containing 0.3% or less Delta-9 THC by dry weight are legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. However, a number of states have passed their own, stricter laws restricting or banning certain hemp-derived cannabinoids (including Delta-8, Delta-9, THCA, and HHC products), and these laws change frequently. We recommend checking your state's current regulations before purchasing.

Question 25

What does third-party lab tested mean, and how do I check a product's Certificate of Analysis (COA)?

Accepted Answer

Third-party lab testing means a product's cannabinoid content and safety (checking for things like pesticides, heavy metals, and residual solvents) is verified by an independent lab, not just by us. Every Colorado Cures product has its own COA; find the link on that product's page, or browse all of them on our Lab Results/COA page.

Question 26

Who can purchase Colorado Cures products?

Accepted Answer

You must be at least 21 years of age to purchase or use our products, consistent with our Terms and Conditions.
