We hear the same questions again and again, so we’ve compiled the most common to help you better understand CBD, CBD products and Re-Treat.

This page will be updated with more CBD questions and answers as they become available. CBD industry information is plentiful and ever-changing. We are always available to answer any questions you have about us or CBD. 

What is hemp?

Hemp is legally defined as any cannabis plant containing less than 0.3% THC. Hemp is a member of the cannabis family. Although it comes from the same family as marijuana and offers some of the same benefits, it does not produce a high or psychoactive effect. So it won’t get in the way of daily life.

What is hemp extract?

Hemp extract, CBD extract, CBD oil, phytocannabinoid-rich hemp oil, cannabis oil, and cannabidiol are the common terms used for hemp products that contain CBD. CBD and other cannabinoids are extracted from any cannabis plant that contains <0.3% THC at a dry weight, pre-processing. CBD and cannabinoids can come from the whole plant, just the flowers, or the stalks, stems, and leaves.

It is important not to confuse hemp extract with hemp seed extract. A hemp seed extract is made from the pressed seeds of the plant, which contain omega fatty acids but no CBD.

Hemp seed oil is sometimes marketed as hemp oil by some companies, which leads to a great deal of confusion. To ensure you’re buying real CBD, always check for a certificate of analysis.

To ensure you are buying CBD/cannabidiol products, check the certificate of analysis (COA) to make sure it says CBD/cannabidiol on it.

Will I get high from CBD hemp oil?

You will not experience any psychoactive effect or high with our products.

How does CBD work?

CBD and other cannabinoids and terpenes work through the endogenous cannabinoid system/endocannabinoid system (eCB). The eCB is a naturally occurring system that is a part of every human, just like the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Through the stresses of modern life and the prohibition against cannabinoids, our bodies develop eCB imbalances, which are reportedly linked to many states of un-wellness.

Are Re-Treat products third-party lab tested?

Absolutely! We believe third-party lab testing should be standard across the board.  Our lab reports (COAs) are also publicly displayed along with our practices. Visit our 3rd Party Lab Testing page.

Are Re-Treat products organic?

We take every precaution necessary to ensure our products are grown, cultivated, and processed using organic practices. All plant material undergoes testing before production.

To say all of our final products are USDA certified organic simply wouldn’t be right. Currently, only our CBD oils are USDA certified via ONE CERT.

The remaining products are produced using hemp and ingredients grown using organic practices and are in the process of USDA organic certification.

Are Re-Treat products 100% natural?

Absolutely! We only use all natural ingredients. That means no nasties, no additives, no preservatives, no sulfates, and no harsh chemicals!

Where is Re-Treat's cannabis grown?

All of our cannabis/hemp is grown in Colorado. Purchasing a product that’s produced in the USA is so important because of the strict regulations and guidelines we are held to and the fact that it supports and creates domestic jobs.

This is an important differentiator. Some brands advertise exceedingly low CBD oil prices. Often, they’re made with CBD isolate imported from outside of the country (typically China). Importing CBD can be very dangerous because there’s no identifiable source and the growing practices are nowhere near as strict as US standards.

Does Re-Treat disclose all ingredients?

Absolutely. You will never see “other ingredients” displayed on our labels without disclosing what they are. You must always know what you are taking! Our ingredients can always be validated in our third-party reports.

What does the entourage effect mean?

In a nutshell, it’s a synergistic effect created by all the components within the cannabis plant interacting with the human body to produce a stronger influence/benefit than individual elements alone. This is why we currently provide whole-plant, full-spectrum CBD oils only. It really is the gold standard and ensures you benefit from the plant as a whole. It does cost a little more, but like most things, you get what you pay for.

Will Re-Treat oils make me fail a drug test?

It’s unlikely, but possible. There is such a small amount of THC (under <0.3%) that it’s a safe bet you will not fail, but we advise you don’t risk it without first discussing this matter in advance with your employer.

If your job requires any drug testing, we highly recommend being conservative and staying away from our product until you can come to an agreement with your employer/doctor regarding your use of CBD.

It’s also imperative to understand your company’s testing process and what they look for when screening. Some companies carry out cannabinoid tests, while others carry out THC-only tests. If they test for cannabinoids, you can fail even using an isolated CBD product.

The above is true for any CBD product. There is no way around it.

We value your safety and ability to provide for your family more than making a sale.

What are recommended dosages for your products?

Due to current regulations and federal laws, we cannot provide specific dosing.

Everyone is different, and at this time there is no set standard. Technically, it’s illegal to recommend dosing unless you are a medical professional managing the care of an individual.

We do offer a third-party CBD dosage calculator to help you determine dosage for the ailment you are experiencing.
