Your CBD Questions Answered
CBD has gained notoriety for relieving pain, sleep problems, and many other ills,
but it’s also surrounded by confusion. To clear things up, here are the answers to
some common questions. /// BY VERA TWEED
Q: What’s the difference between
CBD and marijuana?
A: Like all plants, marijuana contains
many components, but two of these are
known for their specific effects: THC and
CBD. THC produces the hallmark feeling
of a high whereas CBD has therapeutic
properties but does not produce a high.
CBD is also found in industrial hemp,
a plant from the same botanical family
as marijuana that contains only trace
amounts of THC—not enough to produce
a psychoactive effect. By law, hemp plants
can contain no more than 0.3 percent
THC. In comparison, marijuana contains
between 8 and 30 percent THC, depending
on the plant variety.
Q: Where does the CBD in supple-
ments come from?
A: The industrial hemp plant is the
source of CBD in supplements, creams,
gels, and lotions found in health food
stores and other retail outlets. In
states where marijuana is legal,
dispensaries may sell CBD products
made from marijuana plants.
Q: Is CBD from hemp and
marijuana the same thing?
A: Theoretically, yes. A pure extract
of CBD—without traces of any other
plant compounds—would be the same,
regardless of which plant it came from.
However, CBD extracts may contain other
plant components, either by design or
through contamination. “Full spectrum”
extracts intentionally contain multiple
plant components that may also be
beneficial. Extracts of only CBD may
inadvertently contain other
plant ingredients if the
manufacturing process
isn’t tightly controlled.
Depending on the
extract, one that comes
from the marijuana plant
may contain a significant
amount of THC. Extracts
from hemp can’t contain
significant levels of THC because the
plant itself contains only trace amounts.
Q: Can CBD make you fail a
drug test?
A: It shouldn’t, because drug tests look
for THC, not CBD. However, if a CBD
product contains enough THC for a test
to detect levels, failure is possible.
Some CBD products derived from hemp
are labelled “0% THC,” and if they come
from a reputable company, the product
will contain exactly what the
label says it does. But the extreme
popularity of CBD has attracted
some suspect manufacturers.
There have been reports of
failed drug tests after using a
CBD product. One woman who
failed a drug test and lost her
job is suing a CBD manufacturer
whose label falsely claimed that
there was no THC in its CBD
vape product. In other cases,
independent testing has
found undisclosed THC in
some CBD oils.
