HOW IS THIS LEGAL?
2018 Farm Bill
The 2018 Farm Bill brought federal legalization to hemp and its cannabinoids. States now individually regulate hemp, cannabis, and marijuana. Prior to this bill, both hemp and marijuana fell under Schedule 1 classification. However, the Farm Bill introduced a clear distinction, primarily based on the Delta-9 THC levels in the plant.
Dry Weight Classification
If a cannabis plant's Delta-9 THC concentration is below 0.3% on a dry weight basis, it is classified as hemp. Conversely, any plant exceeding this threshold is labeled as marijuana. To be considered a hemp-derived product, it must pass a two-part assessment. Firstly, it must contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis. Secondly, the manufacturer must demonstrate that the cannabinoids are derived from hemp.
Smacks Guarantee
Thus, products with Delta-9 THC levels under 0.3% on a dry weight basis are recognized as hemp products, provided the cannabinoids originate from hemp. At Smacks, we meticulously source our raw materials from reputable US laboratories and retain notarized affidavits to confirm their hemp-derived nature. We guarantee that all Smacks products remain well below the 0.3% Delta-9 threshold.
THC EDIBLES
Are There Any Health Benefits to THC Edibles?
THC edibles may offer potential therapeutic benefits, such as pain relief, reducing inflammation, improving sleep, and alleviating symptoms of anxiety or PTSD. However, more research is needed, and effects can vary from person to person. Always consult with a healthcare professional for advice tailored to your needs.
How Long Do the Effects of THC Edibles Last?
The effects of THC edibles can last much longer than smoking or vaping cannabis, typically between 4 to 8 hours. However, some people may experience effects for up to 12 hours. The duration depends on factors like dosage, individual metabolism, and tolerance levels.
How Long Does It Take for THC Edibles to Take Effect?
The effects of THC edibles can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in, depending on factors like your metabolism, the type of edible, and whether you’ve eaten recently. Always start with a low dose and wait at least two hours before consuming more.
Can I Overdose on THC Edibles?
While it is extremely unlikely to have a fatal overdose from THC, consuming too much can lead to unpleasant experiences such as anxiety, paranoia, nausea, and dizziness. It’s essential to follow dosage guidelines and consume responsibly.
CBD EDIBLES
Will CBD Edibles Get Me High?
No, CBD edibles will not get you high. Unlike THC, CBD is a non-psychoactive compound, meaning it does not produce the "high" associated with cannabis use. CBD edibles are designed to provide the potential health benefits of CBD without intoxicating effects.
Can I Consume CBD Edibles Daily?
Yes, many people consume CBD edibles daily as part of their wellness routine. However, it’s important to start with a low dose and monitor how your body responds. If you have any concerns, consult with a healthcare provider.
How Much CBD Should I Consume as a Beginner?
If you are new to CBD edibles, it is best to start with a low dose, such as 5 to 10 mg of CBD. Monitor how your body reacts, and gradually increase the dosage if needed. Individual tolerance can vary, so finding the right dose for you may take some experimentation.
Do CBD Edibles Show Up on Drug Tests?
Most standard drug tests do not screen for CBD, but some CBD products may contain trace amounts of THC that could potentially show up on a drug test. If you are subject to drug testing, consider using products that are labeled as THC-free or broad-spectrum CBD.
