Question 1

What is CBD?

Accepted Answer

Cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD, is one of approximately 110 molecules found in the hemp plant that belong to the phytocannabinoid family. The most well-known are CBD, CBG, and THC—the psychotropic substance that we do not use in our products.  In our case, CBD is extracted from the cannabis sativa L variety, registered with the European Union and containing less than 0.2% THC, in compliance with current legislation.

Question 2

How does CBD work?

Accepted Answer

Our body also contains natural cannabinoids, which are part of the endocannabinoid system. This system consists of a network of two main receptors: CB1 receptors found in the brain and nervous system, and CB2 receptors in the immune system and intestines.

Question 3

What does Broad Spectrum CBD mean?

Accepted Answer

The term broad spectrum CBD means that the product contains a wider range of cannabinoids than CBD isolate. The most present are CBDV, CBG, and CBC. In addition to cannabinoids, a broad spectrum CBD product will contain what we call terpenes and flavonoids, extracted from the hemp plant, which provide taste and flavor and enable what we call the entourage effect, helping cannabinoids work in synergy.

Question 4

What dosage of CBD should I use?

Accepted Answer

We recommend a daily dose of 50mg of CBD, taken once or twice a day.

Question 5

Is CBD legal in Europe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, CBD is legal as it is not considered a narcotic substance. In the European Union, CBD products must comply with several cumulative conditions: the hemp variety from which the molecule is extracted must be approved by authorities; the plant must have a THC content below 0.2%; and there must be no trace of THC in the finished product.  It can therefore be stated that CBD is not considered a drug in Europe, and it is perfectly legal to purchase and consume products containing it, as long as they comply with European regulations. THC, on the other hand, is strictly prohibited for sale, classified as a narcotic substance.

Question 6

What is the difference between cannabis, marijuana, and hemp?

Accepted Answer

The term cannabis is the generic word that describes the botanical genus, encompassing many varieties.  The main difference between marijuana and hemp lies in the fact that the latter contains a negligible and legally permitted amount of THC. Only if a plant's THC content remains below a certain threshold—0.2%—can it be legally classified as hemp. Above that, we refer to it as marijuana.  Hemp is used in the textile industry, construction, cosmetics, and food production. This is what we call industrial hemp, from which we extract CBD.

Question 7

Is there THC in NŌTO products?

Accepted Answer

No, our products do not contain THC. We ensure this by having all our product batches analyzed by a third-party laboratory in France.

Question 8

Can CBD make you "high"?

Accepted Answer

Unlike THC and its derivatives, CBD will not make you "high" because this molecule has no psychotropic effects and creates no dependency, unlike THC.

Question 9

What are the side effects of CBD?

Accepted Answer

CBD is a molecule that produces no psychoactive effects, meaning your nervous system, perception, and mood will not be impacted. There is no particular cause for concern. It is also not possible to overdose on CBD.
