CBD 101

All products at Hemp Depot are derived from hemp and do not require a prescription. We offer 100% THC-free options as well.

Hemp and marijuana are both cannabis, but hemp contains under 0.3% THC by dry weight, while marijuana is cultivated to be high in THC. Hemp is naturally rich in CBD; marijuana is typically low in CBD by comparison. Because federal law distinguishes hemp from marijuana, hemp-derived cannabinoids are not subject to the same restrictions.

At Hemp Depot, all of our products are derived from agricultural hemp.

We can’t guarantee whether any customer will pass a drug test after using our products. Many contain trace THC and other cannabinoids that can potentially be detected. If this is a concern, we recommend researching this thoroughly, and consulting your employer’s policy, before use.

No. CBD is non-psychoactive and will not produce the intoxicating effects associated with THC/marijuana use.

Our Cibadol Zero products contain no detectable THC. Our other products use full-spectrum oil containing less than 0.3% THC.

Orders ship the next business day (excluding weekends and holidays). Standard shipping is USPS Priority, typically 1–3 business days; expedited options are available at checkout.

Yes. Every product has a batch number and expiration date printed on the container.

Yes. All products are independently batch-tested before bottling to verify cannabinoid content matches the label.

Lecithin is a natural emulsifier that keeps fats from separating from other liquids. It supports cell membrane structure, which can aid nutrient absorption generally. We include it as a formulation aid.

Our MCT oil is derived from 100% coconuts and processed for purity, rather than the more common (and less expensive) palm oil source. It contains roughly 30% lauric acid, along with C8 and C10 medium-chain triglycerides, which are commonly used as a fast-metabolizing energy source in food and supplement formulations.

All of our products (excluding Cibadol Zero) are made with full-spectrum CBD oil, meaning they contain naturally occurring terpenes and other cannabinoids such as CBN and CBG. Isolate products contain CBD only, with other plant compounds removed.

Our hemp is not certified organic, but it’s grown using organic farming practices — we do not use pesticides or herbicides.

Yes. All of our hemp is grown in Colorado, hand-planted, hand-harvested, and dried indoors.

Serving sizes vary by product and are listed on the label. We recommend starting with the lowest labeled serving size and adjusting gradually based on your own comfort. Consult a healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.

Products vary in potency, measured in milligrams of CBD per container. We recommend comparing the total mg content and serving size across products to find one that matches your preference. Check the product label for exact concentration and suggested serving size.

Different consumption methods have different onset times: inhaled products tend to have the fastest onset, sublingual (tincture) products typically take effect within minutes, and ingested products (like gummies or capsules) generally take longer, as they pass through digestion first.

Apply to the desired area as needed, following the directions on the product label.
