Cannabidiol—CBD—is a non-intoxicating component of the cannabis plant with enormous therapeutic potential. Although CBD doesn’t make people feel high like THC does, it’s causing quite a buzz among scientists, health professionals, and medical marijuana patients who are using CBD-rich products to treat a wide range of conditions—chronic pain, cancer, Crohn’s, fibromyalgia, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, PTSD, cardiovascular disease, anxiety, antibiotic-resistant infections, multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia, and more. Academic research centers in the United States and elsewhere are currently studying the effects of CBD on these and other ailments.  It is recommended to consult your doctor before trying any dietary or nutritional supplement.

What is our Endocannabinoid System?

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a recently discovered group of endogenous cannabinoid receptors found throughout the body. The endocannabinoid receptors that make up the ECS are located in our Central Nervous System (CNS), Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), and Immune System. Our CNS includes our brain and spinal cord, while the PNS acts as a communication network linking our CNS to the rest of our body.

Our brains contain the heaviest concentration of cannabinoid receptors, but there’s no shortage of them in our organs, tissues, glands, and more. 

The saturation of ECS receptors throughout our body is part of why CBD has so many uses and is so effective.

How Much CBD should I Take?

A number of factors determine your ideal CBD dosage. This can include your weight, metabolism, and genetics, among others. Because each individual’s endocannabinoid system is unique, some people may only require a small amount of CBD to receive their desired benefits, while others may require much higher doses to experience the same effects. 

If this is your first time trying CBD, we recommend starting with a small dose of only 10-25mg and increasing it later if desired. CBD can take time to work, so wait up to 2 hours before ingesting another dose. Some people may require up to 100-150mg per dose of CBD to get the desired effect. Each drop of high potency CBD (50mg/mL) contains 1.6mL of CBD per drop. 

Remember this rule of thumb: you can always take more, you can never take less.

Is CBD Legal?   Does it contain THC?

Currently hemp derived products are legal in all 50 states. There are trace amounts of THC present in most hemp-derived CBD products. Our products comply with the federally mandated 0.3% THC limit.   Although our products comply with the federally mandated THC limit of less than 0.3% THC by dry weight, this does mean a positive test is possible. Drug tests are not uniform and the THC threshold that would yield a positive result is stricter in some tests than others.

Lazarus Naturals and Waldo Hemp Works holds no liability for any positive results on a drug test. We highly recommend not using CBD products if this is a concern to you.

Our products are made with industrial hemp - all the goodness of cannabis without the high.
