Frequently Asked Questions
Can CBD cause a positive drug screening?
Yes, it is possible. Appalachian Growers’ full-spectrum products may contain federally permitted trace amounts of THC, which could be detected by a drug screening. No full-spectrum CBD company can guarantee that a customer will pass a workplace, school, military, athletic, or legal drug test.
What is the difference between hemp and marijuana?
Both come from the Cannabis sativa plant. Under the federal definition, hemp contains no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. Cannabis exceeding that limit is federally classified as marijuana. State laws may vary, especially for Delta-8 and Delta-9 products.
How much CBD should a beginner take?
There is no single serving that works for everyone, and Appalachian Growers does not provide individualized dosage recommendations. Follow the product label, begin with the smallest listed serving, allow time to evaluate the effect, and increase only gradually and cautiously. Consult a physician or pharmacist before use.
Why did the family start Appalachian Growers?
Appalachian Growers began with a family passion for health, sustainable agriculture, and helping others explore hemp-based wellness. Growing their own organic hemp and overseeing the process from seed to finished product allows the company to provide greater transparency and consistency.
Why can CBD affect animals?
Mammals have an endocannabinoid system, which helps explain why cannabinoids can affect both people and animals. However, CBD has not been approved by the FDA for use in animals and should not be presented as a treatment for a veterinary condition. Always speak with a veterinarian before giving CBD to a pet.
Who should use additional caution with CBD?
CBD can interact with medications and may affect how the body processes certain drugs. Speak with a physician or pharmacist before use if you take prescription medication, have liver disease, use medicines that cause drowsiness, are preparing for surgery, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Hemp-derived Delta-8 and Delta-9 products can be intoxicating. Do not drive or operate machinery after using an intoxicating product.
