Answers to your CBD Questions

CBD is a compound produced by the cannabis plant and is quickly growing in popularity and headed toward mainstream acceptance. CBD oil is finding its way into a variety of products, from tincture drops to CBD-infused edibles and CBD balms, as well as a wide range of cosmetics. CBD oil is even becoming popular among pet owners who wish to help their pets live healthier lives.

CBD oil is a natural oil which is extracted from the flowers and leaves of the cannabis plant. It is used by people all over the world for a variety of purposes. Broad spectrum CBD oil contains a variety of active compounds such as cannabinoids and terpenes. In each other’s presence, these compounds work even better. CBD may contain other beneficial components such as omega fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins and minerals.

While many of the CBD products on the market are produced from some kind of industrial hemp, the CBD oil in Joy Organics products is made from a CBD-rich strain known as PCR hemp. PCR is short for phyto-cannabinoid rich — it contains as much as ten times the concentration of CBD as generic industrial hemp and only negligible amounts of THC. It does not cause a high.

CBD is commonly used to support emotional stability. Research shows that CBD has an effect on levels of the endocannabinoid anandamide. Anandamide is produced by the nervous system to stimulate the uptake of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is often referred to as the “happy molecule” because of its ability to improve mood. When your mood is low, you might be dealing with a low amount of serotonin. An increase in serotonin can correspond to an increase in feelings of wellbeing. It all goes back to the endocannabinoid system — a balanced ECS is a happy ECS.

Another common use for CBD oil is to help normal healthy sleep cycles. It’s no secret that a rough sleep usually results in a bad mood the next day, and nobody wants that. Taking CBD before bed may help you roll out of bed feeling fresh and energized the next day. These are just a few examples of why CBD has become so popular, so quickly.

What is the difference 

between FULL SPECTRUM & BROAD SPECTRUM CBD OILS?

It is so very important to understand the difference between FULL & BROAD SPECTRUM CBD Oil when choosing 

CBD Oil.  Joy Organics is a THC FREE product line and therefore falls under BROAD SPECTRUM CBD.

FULL SPECTRUM CBD OIL

Raw PCR hemp extract contains terpenes as well as other cannabinoid compounds similar to CBD. Because it retains the natural balance of cannabinoids and terpenes found in the original plant, we refer to these products as full spectrum oils.  Full Spectrum CBD Oils contain THC.

BROAD SPECTRUM CBD OIL

Broad spectrum CBD oil is very similar to a full spectrum oil.  Full spectrum CBD oil as mentioned retains the original concentrations of cannabinoids and terpenes found in raw PCR hemp extract.  Broad spectrum CBD oil also contains these concentrations of beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes but with JOY ORGANICS product line,  ALL trace amounts of THC have been extracted. 

Our consultants are informed and educated to help explain the difference between FULL & BROAD Spectrum products.

What Is CBD Tincture?

A tincture is a liquid — usually an oil or an alcohol base — which has been infused with CBD oil. CBD oil tinctures are taken by mouth. When taken using this method, the CBD in the tincture can be absorbed pretty easily and you may begin feeling the effects in as soon as 20 minutes.

        How Do I Properly Take a CBD Tincture?

Remove the cap from the bottle to expose the dropper. Squeeze the dropper top to desired amount of CBD.

Then lift your tongue and squeeze the dropper to dispense the CBD oil under your tongue.  

Hold from swallowing for 15 - 25 seconds until you do not feel the CBD oil any longer. This allows the CBD to fully absorb so you receive the most benefits from the CBD oil.

How Long Does CBD Oil Take to Take Effect?

There are several important factors that come into play when determining the time to take effect when it comes to various methods of using CBD oil. Some of these variables are related to CBD itself, and others are related to how the human body reacts to CBD. 

Because of unique genetics, no two people react to CBD oil in the same way. Furthermore, factors such as age, health, weight, circulation and metabolism can all affect the timing of the effects of CBD oil.

 A factor that can be influenced by all of the above is the number of cannabinoid receptors in the body, how they are expressed and the ability of the body to produce endocannabinoids. An individual who expresses more receptors or produces fewer endocannabinoids may be more sensitive to CBD than someone with an abundance of endocannabinoids or a lack of receptors.

The tincture can be absorbed pretty easily and you may begin feeling the effects in as soon as 20 minutes. While edibles and soft gel capsules can range anywhere from 20 minutes to over an hour.

Determining your Ideal Serving of CBD Oil

STICK WITH ONE PRODUCT

It's a good idea to put some thought into which product you are going to use and stick with that single product for a while. This allows you to gauge the effects of that particular product. If you switch back and forth between different products, determining a serving amount will be much harder. 

START WITH A LOW SERVING SIZE

When you first begin using CBD oil, it's a good idea to start with a low serving size. This gives you a chance to determine your body's reaction to CBD. One option is to start with 1mg for every 10lbs of body weight. Using this rule, someone weighing 100lbs should start with 10mg while someone weighting over 200lbs can start with 20mg and so on...

START BEFORE BEDTIME

When first using CBD oil, it's best to start at night - about an hour before bedtime. That way, if CBD has a tendency to make you drowsy, you're not dragging during the daytime. It's uncommon for a low serving size of CBD to cause drowsiness, but it's good to be sure. If you have no issues, then take another serving in the morning. If CBD oil does make you sleepy, then take it at night. Often CBD oil is used to support both nighttime sleepy and daytime focus, in which case it can be taken as needed throughout the day.

INCREASE YOUR SERVING SIZE SLOWLY

If all goes well but you have not achieved your desired results, you can try doubling your servings. Each time you increase your serving size, take a few days to make note of how your body feels.

If a rise in serving size produces unwanted effects such as making you drowsy, back off to a lower serving.

Can you take too much CBD Oil?

CBD is non-toxic. You would have to consume quite a bit of CBD oil before it results in any truly adverse health effects.

However, taking more CBD than needed may cause some unwanted effects such as making you too relaxed for particular activities like work or sports.

Once you have arrived at a particular serving based on the product you are using, it's a good idea to stick with that single product.
