Is hemp legal?
The answer is YES. The 2018 Farm Bill created further clarification regarding hemp and hemp products. In addition to the 2018 bill, the legality of Cannabidiol from hemp is also supported by a 2004 unanimous ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which determined that the DEA “cannot regulate naturally-occurring THC not contained within or derived from marijuana, i.e., non-psychoactive hemp is not included in Schedule I. The DEA has no authority to regulate drugs that are not scheduled.”

How do I choose a product that is right for me?
When it comes to choosing the CBD product, there are many factors you’d need to consider such as potency, formulation, delivery method & your needs. It’s a complex process that’ll require a lot of research and study. We highly recommend you speak to reliable CBD retailers to do a phone or in-person consultation with them.

What is the ideal dosing size?
In general, dosage varies for each person depending on a wide range of variables including age, sex, weight, activity level, diet, desired outcome and the reason it’s being used. We highly recommend you find a reliable CBD retailer to do a further consultation.
Are your products all lab tested?
Yes, all of our products are all tested by third party labs. You can scan the QR code on the packaging to access the Certificate of Analysis (COA).
Will I fail a drug test if I take CBD?
Depends on the standards of the lab administering your drug test. Most companies only search for the THC cannabinoid. While our full spectrum CBD products contains less than 0.3% THC, there are some testing facilities that check for a spectrum of cannabinoids and could trigger a positive drug test. By law, you are allowed to ask the facility what cannabinoids they test for. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can call and ask anonymously. We suggest contacting the testing facility if there is any concern.
What should I look for in terms of quality when choosing CBD?
You should always look for high-quality CBD and look for the products that are extracted from organic, USA grown hemp. It should be pesticide free and come from a source that uses good manufacturing practices. Kota Botanics CBD oil is made with organically sun-grown USA hemp. We partner with a small artisanal family farm in upstate New York who practices organic growing method on their hemp cultivation. Our products are free of pesticide, herbicide, heavy metals and solvents.
How long does it take for CBD to work?
There are several important factors that come into play when determining the time to take effect when it comes to various methods of using CBD. Some of these variables are related to CBD itself, and others are related to how the human body reacts to CBD.
Because of unique genetics, no two people react to CBD oil in the same way. Furthermore, factors such as age, weight, circulation and metabolism can all affect the timing of the effects of CBD oil.
There are also numerous other factors involved such as the type of product being used, how it’s being used and how much is being used. The onset of edibles will typically take longer than that of tinctures, for example.
