Yes, as long as they are derived from hemp, not marijuana, and contain less than 0.3% THC. No medical marijuana card is required to purchase or use hemp-derived CBD products.

he average shelf life of CBD products is generally 14 to 24 months; this can be affected by the way the product is stored. Heat, light, time, and exposure to air are factors to consider. A cool, dark, dry environment is best for promoting longevity. When minimally exposed to environmental influences, CBD products can last a very long time without losing efficacy.

Most drug tests screen for the psychoactive compound THC, not CBD. However, full-spectrum hemp extracts may contain trace amounts of THC, so could cause a positive result when screening urine and blood specimens, especially when taken at high doses.

An effective dosage can range from as little as 5mg of CBD per day and can go up to 150mg per day. Be sure to start low, and go slow. Take a few small doses over the course of the day, rather than one big dose. Use the same dose for several days, observe the effects, and, if necessary, adjust the amount.

Terpenes may play a key role in differentiating the effects of various cannabis strains. Some terpenes might promote relaxation and stress-relief, while others potentially promote focus and acuity.

Over 100 different terpenes have been identified in the cannabis plant, and every strain has a unique terpene profile.
