Is all of your hemp organically grown?

Yes, we only partner with farms that use organic farming and curing practices.

Is this legal?

Yes, all of the hemp that we offer is federally legal as it conforms to the rules and regulations of the 2018 Farm Bill. It is also legal for us to ship our products across state lines, even to states that do not allow for hemp to be grown there.

Will consuming your products make me feel “high”?

Most people will not feel a psychoactive effect (the feeling of being "high"), but everybody is different so if it’s your first time trying CBD-rich hemp flower, please make sure to do so in a safe and comfortable place. It is advisable that you enjoy this responsibly and not operate heavy machinery soon after consuming. The main cannabinoid in our hemp flower is CBD which has been deemed non-addictive, non-psychoactive by the World Health Organization.

Will I pass a drug test after consuming your products?

All of our hemp flower and the hemp in our pre-rolls include very small amounts of THC. While these amounts are quite small there is still the possibility that it will show up on a drug test. If you have to pass a drug test it is not advisable to use our products unless you know that full-spectrum CBD/hemp products are allowed.

What is the difference between full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and other types of products?

Here at Friend Leaf we believe that hemp is best when it’s pure and unprocessed. The hemp plant naturally contains many healthy and beneficial cannabinoids that when consumed together, create what is called an “entourage effect”, which offers the greatest health benefits from the plant. Products that have the entire spectrum of cannabinoids are called “full-spectrum”. Full-spectrum products are the most holistic and natural way to consume hemp. In contrast, broad-spectrum products have had the THC (and potentially other important cannabinoids removed). CBD-isolate products, through a few processes, remove all naturally found cannabinoids from the natural product except for CBD.

Where is your hemp grown?

Our partner farms are currently all located in Oregon, where they practice sustainable and organic farming. We strongly recommend that you only purchase hemp that you know has been grown in the US. There are many poor-quality hemp or CBD products that are grown or made overseas that do not have to meet even basic quality standards and often are found to have heavy metals and harmful pesticides.

What is the most bioavailable way to take CBD? Wait, what is bioavailability?

Bioavailability is defined as the degree and the rate at which a substance (in this case the key cannabinoids in hemp) are absorbed into a living system’s bloodstream. By definition, when a medication or supplement is administered intravenously, its bioavailability is 100%. However, when a medication is administered via other routes (such as orally), its bioavailability generally decreases due to incomplete absorption. In the world of hemp products, this is really important and a principle that guides the type of products we offer here at Friend Leaf. We want to make sure that our customers are benefiting the most from the hemp products they consume. Second only to transdermal patches, consuming hemp via inhalation is the most bioavailable consumption method. That is what makes us so excited to offer pre-rolls and pure dried hemp flower. When hemp and CBD is consumed orally, the liver processes and removes the majority of the CBD from our body, leaving only around 20% to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Even worse, unless lotions and salves include key oil carriers, 0% of the CBD in those products gets absorbed into the bloodstream. That is why we focus our product offerings on only the highest bioavailable consumption methods.

What are you doing to be a sustainable company?

We believe sustainable business practices are essential today. That is why every single decision we make considers our ecological and environmental impact.

• Our shipping packaging is made out of 100% recycled materials, and is 100% recyclable or compostable.
