CBD can produce different effects on different individuals, as everyone's body and endocannabinoid system are unique.

CBD is also known for its potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, which can help to reduce pain and inflammation in the body.

Does CBD get you high?
CBD will not give you a high like THC. THC is the main active ingredient found in the Cannabis sativa plant or marijuana. CBD is a different cannabinoid derived from the hemp plant which contains 0.3% or less of THC.
Soulful Bee CBD isolate products and broad-spectrum CBD products are THC free. Our full-spectrum products contain 0.3% or less of THC. Using CBD products can cause users to experience a change in consciousness or other calming effects, but it will not give you the inebriating high people experience when consuming substances containing higher levels of THC.
Does CBD show up on a drug test?
CBD itself is unlikely to produce a positive test result when testing through industry-standard testing methods. However, very small amounts of THC can be found in full-spectrum CBD products so there is a possibility a person could test positive on a drug screening after using certain CBD products.
Soulful Bee products are made using the highest quality, non-intoxicating hemp plants. We cannot guarantee that using our products will not result in a positive drug test. We advise you to consider the risks regarding drug screening prior to using CBD products.
