CBD will not create the same euphoric or "psychedelic" effects that THC users experience. Even though our full spectrum products may contain THC (well under the .3% legal limit), there is not enough to cause the user to experience a "high".
What is CBD?
CBD is one of the over 100 naturally occurring compounds that is found in the hemp plant, and is known as a cannabinoid. When ingested, CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid receptors in our bodies, triggering a variety of beneficial responses. Some of the reported effects from frequent users include anxiety relief, systemic and acute pain relief, relief of symptoms associated with certain auto-immune diseases, as well as improved sleep habits.
What are some popular cannabinoids, and what are they thought to help with?
Scientists have isolated around 113 unique cannabinoids that can be found in cannabis, the most popular being THC and CBD. Among all the other cannabinoids, research has shown that CBG may be used to quell nausea, fight inflammation, and help with pain. CBN is thought to be useful in promoting healthy sleep patterns, as well as stimulating appetite and managing pain.
What is the "entourage effect" that can be felt when using full spectrum products?
This occurs when CBD and the other cannabinoids and terpenes that can be found in full spectrum CBD oil work together synergistically to heighten the effects of each cannabinoid in our bodies.
Are these products safe?
In 2018, with the passage of the Farm Bill, the US Government ended the prohibition of the hemp industry, with individual states passing legislation shortly thereafter to change each of their respective laws. While the market is saturated with many CBD brands and products, there is zero government oversight from the FDA to regulate the safety and efficacy of these products. We pride ourselves on being a cGMP certified lab that extensively tests for potency as well as any contaminants, ensuring that every one of our products is safe to ingest or consume.
How long until I feel the effects from taking CBD?
Everyone's body and metabolism is different, so it's no surprise that CBD affects everyone differently. If you regularly use CBD, it will build up in your system and provide more long-lasting effects--this is why we recommend using a product for at least two weeks before determining whether it works for you. The delivery method of the CBD also determines how quickly you will begin to feel the effects. Tinctures or oils that are taken sublingually may be felt as quickly as 15 minutes after ingestion, while gummies (which need to be digested) and gel caps may take up to two hours to feel.
Will taking CBD make me fail a drug test?
This depends entirely on what kind of CBD product you are taking, either full spectrum or THC. "Full spectrum" oils contain all of the many cannabinoid profiles present in hemp, including THC. While we are careful to test and ensure that the amount is well below the legal limit of 0.3%, taking full spectrum oils on a regular basis may lead to a failed drug test. Users of Butler full spectrum topicals like our Soothe and Freeze will generally not absorb enough CBD to show up on a drug test.
We offer our two daily use tinctures (Daily Blend and Extra Strength) in both full spectrum and THC free versions, perfect for those that would like to use CBD daily but do have to avoid any traces of THC.
Where can I find the lab results for Butler's products?
How is the CBD that we use in our products produced?
The CBD that we use to formulate our Butler product line is extracted by our sister company, Kancanna.
Kancanna is currently the only Kansas licensed supercritical CO2 extraction facility, and one of the largest labs in the country. CO2 extraction is the industry-preferred method of CBD extraction, resulting in a cleaner, safer final product with no environmentally harmful by-products, unlike solvent-based extraction.
Returns and Shipping
Can I return my product?
We want Butler to become your go-to brand when it comes to CBD, and hope that you'll love our products and they become a part of your daily wellness routine. If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, please contact us within 30 days of your order and we'll process a return authorization for you. Please note that you will be responsible for the return shipping cost.
Often times, CBD takes a few weeks of consistent use to notice any effects or benefits, so we do encourage you to give it a bit of time to begin working for you before determining its efficacy.
How long will it take to receive my order?
All orders are processed within 1-2 business days of being placed. If you chose the free standard shipping option on your order, we will ship either via USPS or UPS--carrier method will be determined based upon order weight and transit time.
