Frequently Asked Questions

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a natural compound found in hemp plants that interacts with your cannabinoid receptors. It’s known for its potential wellness benefits without the psychoactive effects of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).

CBD derived from hemp with less than 0.3% THC is federally legal in the United States. However, there is still much gray area from state to state. While many states have made CBD fully legal, more than half have made it conditionally legal, depending on whether it is hemp- or cannabis-derived. Be sure to check your state’s regulations. 

CBD is also legal in most countries. Again, its legality often comes with conditional regulations. 

• North & Central America: CBD is legal in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. However, many other Central American and Caribbean countries have either banned (e.g., Cuba and Guatemala) or restricted (e.g., Panama and Belize) CBD use. 
• South America: CBD legality varies dramatically from one country to the next. Brazil, Argentina, Peru, and several other countries allow CBD use only for medical purposes. Many others have banned access (e.g., Ecuador and Venezuela). Only Colombia and Uruguay allow unrestricted use. 
• Europe: CBD is legal in most countries as regulated by the EU. Each country has the right to interpret EU regulations and define their own laws and punishment, which vary widely.
• Africa: Cannabis products are illegal in most countries, meaning so is CBD. South Africa legalized the conditional over-the-counter sale of CBD products.
• Asia & the Middle East: Laws vary widely, with CBD being illegal in some countries like Singapore. Others, like Hong Kong and Japan, have legalized CBD with zero THC. And in some, like India, CBD is still a legal gray area.
• Australia & New Zealand: Medical use of CBD is legal in Australia and New Zealand. However, these laws may change as both countries’ governments discuss cannabis and CBD legalization.

Regardless of where you’re located, check your country’s CBD laws. Please note: You are responsible for ensuring your purchases are legal. The Healing Consultant cannot be held liable for your actions.

No, CBD does not have the psychoactive effects of THC, the cannabinoid found in marijuana that produces its signature high. Although it does not get you high, CBD can improve your mood and mental state. 

The Healing Consultant’s CBD products are full-spectrum, containing only trace amounts of THC of 0.3% or less. They won’t make you high and will not cause a false positive drug test.

CBD interacts with your cannabinoid receptors, essential messengers in the endocannabinoid system (ECS), to help regulate bodily functions such as mood, pain response, inflammation, and appetite. In doing so, it helps reduce symptoms like stress, pain, and inflammation.

While CBD is generally well-tolerated, some users may experience mild side effects like drowsiness or dry mouth. Follow these few tips to mitigate side effects: 

• Drink a large glass of water infused with lemon or lime along with your CBD gummy. The citrus helps increase saliva production and  cotton mouth.
• Take the CBD breakfast gummy at least 30 minutes before eating breakfast to maximize the effects. Take the Delta-8 Sleepytime Gummy at least 30-60 minutes before bed with water or an herbal tea, ideally on an empty stomach.
• The correct dose of CBD during the day should help you feel energized and focused. If you’re drowsy, try reducing your dosage until your body acclimates. For the Delta-8 gummies, you want to be calm and ready for sleep—so if you’re not, ensure you’re taking it on an empty stomach and giving yourself the time and atmosphere to relax.

We recommend consulting your doctor before using CBD, especially if you’re on other medications. When you book a consultation with Varnar, a nurse anesthetist certified in medical cannabis, she will gain a complete understanding of your health, pain, medical conditions, and prescriptions. Then, she will: 

• Recommend the optimal CBD products for your needs
• Advise you on safely incorporating CBD with any pre-existing conditions and prescriptions
• Suggest a customized CBD product specifically designed around your health

Effects can vary based on the product and individual. For maximum results, follow our self-care tips: 

• CBD Gummies: Take ½-1 gummy at least 30 minutes before eating breakfast with plenty of water.
• Delta-8 Gummies: Take ½-1 gummy at least 30-60 minutes before bed with our evening tea or water. 
• CBD Drink Drops: Shake well and add a few drops to your favorite beverage for a calming effect at any time of day.
• Hemp Infused Salve: Apply a small amount of salve directly to unbroken skin to nourish and moisturize. Rub in well to activate. Avoid the face.
• Roll-on Relief: Apply to the desired area for calming and therapeutic relief at any time of the day. 

Remember, ingestible CBD products work best and fastest on an empty stomach and with plenty of water. Also can take up to 1-1.5 hours to take effect and last up to 4-6hrs.
