Yes. The United States made industrial hemp legal in all 50 states in 2018, defining hemp as cannabis plants with less than 0.3% THC by weight.  We ship our CBD and hemp products anywhere in the country for free!

Yes.  CBD is non-intoxicating and non-addictive. There have been some minor side effects reported, mostly in relation to medication interactions. For example, CBD can increase the blood concentration of blood thinners and other medications, similar to the effect of grapefruit juice. That said, the vast majority of users report no side effects.  Since CBD is marketed as a supplement as opposed to a medication, it is not subject to the same regulations as other drugs. Despite this lack of safety oversight, Franny’s Farmacy applies rigorous standards for purity and safety, ensuring that our products have consistent quality so our customers can expect consistent results.

Possibly.  Due to federal regulations, we cannot make claims about whether or not CBD can help with specific ailments.  Anecdotally, we can tell you that we have many customers who use our products to help alleviate symptoms of a myriad of conditions. We encourage you to communicate with your physician about your plans to utilize CBD to target a specific condition.

You have options.  Tinctures are a great option for every day, scalable use. Consider using our Franny’s Gummies or any other of our edibles for a quick dose on the go or before bed. We have topical products for aches and pains. We have high-quality smokable Hemp Flower for a fast-acting result, which can also be consumed in various smoking delivery devices.  The CBD Hemp Oil Tinctures we offer have a couple different applications.  You can hold a sublingual dose under the tongue for 30-60 seconds (recommended for fastest absorption), apply the oil topically to your skin (can be applied directly to a problem area or mixed with your favorite moisturizer), or blend the oil in a health-conscious smoothie.  Check out our product pages for more specifics on use.

No.  Hemp-based CBD products are legal to buy and sell in all 50 states. This means you can access CBD anywhere without a prescription or a marijuana card.  You can buy it on our website.  You can become a Franny’s affiliate and sell it yourself.  

That depends on the type of CBD you are consuming, the amount you take, your personal metabolism, and the type of test administered. 

We offer Hemp Oil Tincture which includes fractional content of the full cannabinoids in hemp, which include a small amount of THC. If you are a heavy user, some of this THC may accumulate in your body and cause a positive result. To eliminate this possibility, we offer a CBD Isolate, with only CBD in it for individuals who face drug testing.  According to Quest Diagnostics Director of Science and Technology, Barry Sample, CBD likely won’t show up on a drug test: “If the product contains only CBD and has had the THC removed, then an individual being tested would not be expected to test positive for marijuana or marijuana metabolite.”

If you are required to take a drug test for employment or any other reason, we advise you to speak with your employer or test administrator regarding the products you have used and the possibility of a positive result before you take the test.

Everyone has different preferences & effective doses of CBD products.  You can find a breakdown of the varying product categories further down on this page, but we’re happy to help you get started.  

The first thing to consider is dosage & delivery.  It’s best to start small and work your way up until you find the optimal level of relief for your situation.  An easily consumable product with a low cost and dosage are the Franny’s Farmacy CBD Chocolates that contain 10mg of full spectrum CBD per chocolate.  If you’re looking for relief for sore muscles or joints causing you pain, bug bites, skin irritations, acne spots, etc. – our Healing Hemp Oil Roll-on ($25.00) offer a great point solution.  For longer term solutions with greater dosages available, we recommend Franny’s line of CBD Tinctures, which range from 125mg to 4,000mg.

Testing. Our CBD oil is lab-tested as soon as it is extracted and then again by a third party lab, to ensure an accurate amount of CBD. See the COAs (Certificate of Analysis) for our topicals, tinctures, edibles and hemp flower.

The source.  Both hemp and marijuana are from the same genus and species (cannabis sativa).  Hemp’s characteristic of having low THC (less than 0.3% as required by federal law) is the difference that most rely on to distinguish industrial hemp from marijuana.  CBD taken from hemp and marijuana is the exact same compound.

Whole plant extract.  We would never sacrifice quality by providing a synthetic CBD or CBD isolate blend. We use a whole plant extract that is rich in cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial oils.  The Hadassah Medical School at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem sought to compare the effectiveness of a pure CBD extract versus a full-spectrum extract of hemp.  The study concluded that the whole plant extract, which contained a large percentage of CBD as well as traces of the other cannabinoids, proved more effective than CBD-only solutions in alleviating inflammation and pain sensation.  This synergistic effect is known as the “entourage effect.” 

“Full-spectrum” means that the CBD product is also rich in other cannabinoids like CBC, CBG, and CBN, and also contains other phytonutrients that are beneficial to your health and wellbeing. Full-spectrum hemp also includes a fractional content of THC, at legally compliant ratio (less than 0.3% as mandated by Federal law).

Our full-spectrum Hemp Oil Tinctures contains high concentrations of CBD and also other beneficial cannabinoids such as CBC, CBG, CBDA, and CBDV.  You can see the specific breakdown of these cannabinoids by reading the Certificates of Analysis (COAs) for each product.  Here’s a COA for the Hemp Oil Tinctures we mention, and you can soon find a guide on How to Read a COA on our website.  These beneficial cannabinoids are not psychoactive and are being studied scientifically for a wide variety of health benefits. Cannabinoids work synergistically together with what is known as the entourage effect. 

Only hemp & grape seed oil.  Our extracts contain 100% organic cold pressed hemp oil and our proprietary full spectrum CBD concentrate.  There are no other additives, preservatives, emulsifiers, or flavorings.

If kept away from a heat source in a cool, dark place, your CBD products should last for up to one year.

It’s your decision, but we can help.  Everyone is different.  One CBD delivery method is not necessarily better than the other.  Part of the fun is finding the ideal delivery method that provides the affects you are seeking.  Some like taking tincture under the tongue or in their drink.  Others like smoking joints.

It’s entirely subjective. But to help you get started making that decision, allow us to review the most popular delivery methods available.

Edibles

Easily consumed items that are a great introduction to CBD

Franny’s Farmacy offers CBD in honey sticks, capsules, gummies, protein/hemp bars, chocolates, teas, coffees, and a variety of other edibles. As edibles must be absorbed in the digestive tract, effects can take longer to manifest, and a small portion of the CBD is filtered out so users may want to use higher doses than they would with tinctures.

Topicals

Soothing applications commonly used for aching joints and muscles

Common forms of CBD topicals include balms, salves, oils, lotions, creams, and bath bombs.  They are great after a workout or if you suffer from joint inflammation.  The skin quickly absorbs the CBD to target the area of pain. Some people also turn to topicals for acne and others skin disorders.  Users report feeling the effects of CBD topicals within minutes of application. The CBD creams or balms are also often laced with capsaicin or menthol as bonus ingredients to soothe.

Hemp Oil Tinctures / Drops

Portable, controlled delivery for a wide range of doses and timelines

Hemp Oil Tinctures are one of the easiest ways to ingest CBD.  The delicate mucous membranes of your mouth absorb the oil, so it enters your bloodstream rapidly.  Most people report feeling the effects of sublingual CBD in less than 20 minutes. If you have digestive disorders, this is one of the best ways to take CBD because it bypasses the gastrointestinal system entirely.  The bloodstream absorbs the CBD through the mouth, and it is then transported to the liver via the bloodstream for a further breakdown, becoming available to the body’s cannabinoid receptors. 

When using oil drops place a few drops directly under your tongue and hold the oil in your mouth for a minute or two so your body absorbs it.  Full-spectrum CBD oils are robust and earthy with a noticeable hemp flavor. For individuals who prefer a milder tasting product, we offer a peppermint line made with pure essential oils. The isolate is almost tasteless.  

Vaporizers

Inhalation of CBD through vapes is the best way to achieve the fastest relief. The lungs are filled with blood vessels that quickly absorb the CBD. Individuals who are suffering from digestive disorders, nausea, headaches, anxiety, and severe pain often choose this safe CBD delivery method. You will need a vape pen or vaporizer to use the CBD vapes. 

The vapes come in a wide array of flavors. You can also choose just regular CBD or CBD mixed with nicotine. In areas where medical and recreational marijuana is legal users frequently use a CBD/THC mixture to gain the full-body effects of the CBD with the endocannabinoid system.

Smoking Hemp Flower

Whether you are smoking a joint, a pipe, a bong, or a vaporizer; Franny’s Farmacy’s hemp flower is a great way to enjoy CBD.  Each Franny’s Grammy contains one gram of full-spectrum hemp flower.  We offer rotating strains from the best farms in the nation.  The Cherry Wine strain is grown at Franny’s Farm, while other strains like Lifter Strain, Suver Haze, and Elektra Strain are grown at Family Practice Hemp.

Your CBD products should be stored away from a heat source in a cool, dark place. If kept in optimal conditions, it will last for up to one year.

Dosing is highly individualized and depends on what you are taking it to accomplish.  We suggest speaking with a healthcare professional before you start to ascertain an adequate dose.  While taking too much will not result in adverse effects, you may be able to achieve the same results with less, which will save you money. Try to take note of how your CBD doses affect you and adjust the dose and frequency as needed.

Topical CBD can be applied directly to the affected area, and you can use it as often as you wish. CBD oils and tinctures can be added to food or drinks, or you can hold the dose under your tongue for 60 seconds for maximum and immediate absorption

Most people find that taking CBD regularly over time brings the best results. Since you do not experience a “high” from taking CBD, there won’t be any dramatic indication that it has taken effect. 

Concentration, Body Weight, Tolerance, Discomfort/Pain, and other factors.  It’s best to first determine how much CBD is in each dose of your CBD product, then weigh that dosage against the remaining factors.

Concentration

No matter what your preferred way to take CBD, determining its concentration is a critical aspect of calculating dosage.  Concentration refers to the strength or the amount of CBD included in the product you use.

Besides this, it is generally measured in mg (milligrams).  Concentration indicates the quantity of CBD per serving. For example, if your CBD tincture has 1500 mg concentration and contains 30 ml of tincture, a 1 ml serving will contain 50 mg CBD (1500 mg / 30 ml = 50 mg / ml).

Body Weight

Depending on your goals, it is generally recommended to consume 1 to 5 mg of CBD product per 10 pounds of body mass.  Thus, a “conservative” first dose for someone weighing 200 lbs would be 20 mg of CBD. At the opposite end of that range, an “aggressive” dose for that same 200 lb person would be 100 mg.  

The heavier you are, the more CBD doses you will require to see the significant effects of CBD on the body. People with lighter weights, will have effective lower doses.  Thus, body weight is an important consideration when determining the right dosage of CBD.

CBD Tolerance

If you have been using CBD for a long time, your body may have developed a CBD tolerance.  This means you might not feel the same strength of effects as you did when you just started using CBD.  Thus, if you have noticed an increased tolerance to CBD, it is recommended to either take a break for a few days or increase doses to achieve effective results.

Level of Discomfort & Pain

It is worth noting that many people estimate their CBD doses based on the discomfort and/or pain they experience.  If you have chronic pain or anxiety, higher doses may be required to treat the symptoms. It is recommended that you start with lower doses of CBD and work your way up to an effective dose.

Discuss with Your Doctors

This is, without any doubt, one of the most important steps for estimating the right dosage of CBD.  Make sure that you consult an experienced medical professional before incorporating CBD doses into your diet.  Only a professional can help you estimate the right CBD dosage for your body type. If you have a medical history of suffering from any chronic disease, your doctor can guide you on the plausible side effects of taking incorrect CBD doses.

Never Start With High Doses 

Remember that every human being is different and has distinct body chemistry.  The unique history of your body with supplements and medications requires you to be careful while consuming CBD dosage.   Your body chemistry may have different reactions to the CBD product.

If you and your friend have the same bodyweight, that does not mean that you should also use the same amount of CBD dosage, and doing so may lead to various health complications if it does not suit your body chemistry.

The best way to avoid this from happening is to take lighter doses in the initial stage.  It will help you gauge the reaction of your body and tell you whether or not you should increase the dosage.  You can determine the perfect dosage by gradually increasing CBD consumption.
