Creating Better Days CBD utilizes a natural isolate extraction technique to draw out CBD from industrial hemp. This means that the CBD levels are consistent each and every time. It's the best way to eliminate all trace amounts of THC. Creating Better Days CBD will not make you fail drug tests with regard to THC.

Creating Better Days CBD is non-psychotropic, meaning you will not get "high" from it.

Creating Better Days makes very high quality CBD, better than most of the other brands out there. There's no need to start with the highest level. Appropriate dosage varies depending on which product you are using, how you are using it, and how your body responds. We recommend starting with one to three drops per serving, once or twice a day, and then adjusting the dose as needed. If you are using a CBD supplement for the first time, we encourage you to discuss any questions you may have with your healthcare practitioner.

While CBD oil provides a variety of health benefits as a dietary supplement, our CBD products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. We encourage you, however, to seek out trusted sources and studies on the uses and benefits of CBD if you are living with a certain condition. We make no medical claims about our products, but please refer to any related and trusted studies to gain access to this valuable information.

Hemp is considered to be safe and produces no major adverse side effects. That said, everyone’s body is different and may tolerate and adapt to dietary supplements in different ways. We recommend consulting your physician before using any dietary supplements, including our CBD oil.

Absolutely not. Standard hemp seed oil, which can be found inexpensively at many supermarkets, is very different from our CO2 hemp extracts, which are not derived from the hemp seed and which contain a much greater concentration of healthful compounds. Basic hemp seed oil is produced by cold-pressing the seeds of the plant. Our hemp extract, on the other hand, is a supercritical CO2 extraction of the hemp plant itself. While hemp seed oil contains many wonderful nutrients, it does not contain the naturally occurring terpenes, cannabinoids, and other healthful elements found in our CBD oil. Our CBD hemp oil is extracted from the stalk of specifically selected hemp cultivars, offering higher percentages of CBD by weight and additional nutritional benefits.

Yes. CBD is CBD, whether it is derived from hemp or marijuana. In fact, hemp tends to be preferred as a source because it usually contains higher concentrations of CBD and other non-psychoactive cannabinoids, such as CBC and CBG. Most marijuana contains high levels of THC, the cannabinoid responsible for its psychoactive effects, but very low levels of these other beneficial, non-psychoactive cannabinoids.

The FDA has warned companies marketing CBD products not to make any claims about the use of CBD to treat or prevent disease. Currently, the FDA has not approved CBD or any other cannabinoid for any medical indications and does not currently regard it as having medicinal benefit. Creating Better Days was not among the companies warned by the FDA, and as an industry leader, they have made it a point to remain conservatively compliant with all FDA guidelines. Neither they, nor we at The Hemp Store, have ever made claims about the medical uses of these products, and instead encourage you to do your own research and to discuss your concerns with your doctor before starting any new dietary supplement.

Scientifically, industrial hemp and marijuana are different varieties of the same plant, belonging to a similar genus. All strains of industrial hemp belong to the species Cannabis sativa, while marijuana includes strains belonging to Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis. Note that because hemp and marijuana are both forms of cannabis, the term ‘cannabis oil’ can refer to either a hemp or a marijuana-derived oil.

Even among strains of the same species however, hemp and marijuana exhibit drastically different genetic profiles. Unlike marijuana, most industrial hemp has been bred to be very fibrous, typically characterized by long, strong stalks and very few flowering buds. Marijuana plants, on the other hand, are smaller, bushier, and full of flowering buds. Excitingly, newer industrial hemp varieties are now being bred to bear more flowers and to produce higher yields of cannabinoids and terpenes. The Colorado hemp we use for our products, for example, is rich in these healthy compounds.

Importantly, the two types of plants also differ significantly in their levels of THC and CBD. Most marijuana contains high levels of THC and very little CBD. Most hemp, on the other hand, contains very high levels of CBD and only trace amounts of THC. For this reason, the cannabinoid profile of hemp is ideal for people looking for the benefits of cannabis products without the psychoactive effects or "high" produced by marijuana.

Because of their differences, hemp and marijuana have some distinct uses. Hemp is used for making herbal supplements, food, fiber, rope, paper, bricks, oil, natural plastic, and many other material and health products. Marijuana does not have the same textural qualities and tends to be used exclusively for recreational, spiritual, and medicinal purposes.

In the USA, Section 7606 of the Agricultural Appropriations Act of 2014 provides a legal definition of industrial hemp: “The term ‘industrial hemp’ means the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of such plant, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.”
