CBD FAQ
Got questions? We’ve got answers. Whether you’re curious about our products, our process, or how hemp CBD can help you feel your best, this FAQ is your go-to guide. We’re all about keeping things simple, transparent, and natural—just like our hemp. Let’s dive in!
What is CBD?
CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a natural compound found in hemp and cannabis plants. It’s one of over 113 active cannabinoids in these plants and has been making waves as a wellness supplement thanks to its potential health benefits.
Unlike THC, CBD doesn’t get you high. Instead, it works behind the scenes, indirectly signaling your body’s CB1 and CB2 receptors to help regulate mood, appetite, memory, and how you respond to pain. It also supports your body’s natural cannabinoids by slowing their breakdown, which can boost their positive effects.
The result? CBD may help ease symptoms and improve overall well-being.* With scientific studies uncovering its potential, it’s no wonder CBD has captured the medical community’s attention.

What is CBD Oil Used For?
CBD oil is a versatile wellness powerhouse derived from artisan hemp. At 43CBD, we use an ethanol-based extraction process to craft an exceptionally pure, high-quality oil. This oil serves as the foundation for a variety of supplements, including tinctures, concentrates, salves, and capsules.
What makes our CBD oil special? It’s full spectrum, meaning it contains a wide range of naturally occurring cannabinoids from hemp. This creates a holistic effect, giving your body the full benefits of what hemp has to offer. Whether you’re looking for targeted relief or overall wellness, CBD oil is designed to support you naturally.
What Does CBD Help With?
Many CBD users report finding relief from chronic issues like pain, inflammation, and skin problems. It’s also believed to help ease aches and pains from an active lifestyle and reduce oxidative stress, which may support those dealing with anxiety or depression.*
CBD oil’s versatility makes it a go-to for promoting overall wellness and addressing everyday discomforts—naturally and effectively.

Is CBD Psychoactive? (Does it get your high?)
no. While CBD is classified as mildly psychoactive, it doesn’t produce the “high” associated with THC. In fact, CBD can actually counteract the psychoactive effects of THC.
CBD is one of the primary cannabinoids found in hemp, alongside THC, CBG, and CBDA. THC is the psychoactive compound responsible for the high, but our products contain less than 0.3% THC—far below the level needed to cause any psychoactive effects.
With our CBD, you get all the benefits of the hemp plant without the high.*

How Does CBD Make You Feel?
Although every person is different, the most common effect of CBD is a noticeable improvement in overall physical and mental comfort. Because CBD does not have the psychoactive properties of THC, you aren’t going to feel any sort of “high” or significant alteration of your mental state. Instead, most users feel as if you just took a dose of very effective medicine.*

Is CBD Oil Legal?
Yes, CBD oil is derived from hemp and is legal in the state of Colorado and now in all 50 states. The passing of the 2018 farm bill, also known as the Agricultural Act of 2018, gave authorization to state departments of agriculture and institutions of higher learning in states that have legalized hemp cultivation to grow the crop for research and pilot programs. It is categorized as a food-based product by the Colorado Department of Health and Environment. The cultivation of Colorado hemp is overseen by the Colorado Department of Agriculture.

Will I fail a drug test if I take CBD?
43 Solutions full spectrum hemp products contain a naturally occurring trace amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The amount of THC in our products never exceeds 0.3% concentration by weight, per state and federal regulations and definitions of industrial hemp. While it is highly unlikely that one would fail a drug test from using our products, that possibility cannot be ruled out. Always consult with your physician, employer or potential employer, before using any industrial-hemp derived product.

What is the Entourage Effect?
The entourage effect is the phenomena of multiple cannabinoids working synergistically to be more effective than they would singularly. As a group working in concert, they complement and multiply effectiveness and efficiency. In our formulas, cannabidiol (CBD) is the dominant cannabinoid, being supported and complemented with other cannabinoids, such as THC, CBN, and CBG to name a few. Some of these are lesser known and significantly smaller portions but are very powerful in their supporting roles as they complement the CBD in our full spectrum formula. Together they provide a full range of healing properties yet to be fully understood and defined by science, yet the anecdotal results are undisputed.
We are proud to provide formulas loaded with a variety of supporting cannabinoids in addition to our powerhouse CBD. Cannabidiol propelled by the “Entourage Effect” is proving to be the most dynamic supplement nature has to offer! Working in concert, these bioactive compounds optimize health and wellness, triggering powerful chemical interactions, known as the entourage effect.*
