FAQ: EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CBD

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD, is one of the 110 or so molecules of the hemp plant that are part of the phytocannabinoid family. The best known are CBD, but also CBG and THC, the psychotropic substance that we do not use in our products
In our case, the CBD is taken from the variety of cannabis sativa L, registered in the European Union and containing less than 0.2 % of THC, according to the legislation in force.

How does CBD work?

Our bodies also contain natural cannabinoids, part of the endocannabinoid system. This system is made up of a network of two main receptors: the CB1 in the brain and nervous system, as well as the receptors CB2 in the immune system and intestine.

What does Broad Spectrum CBD mean?

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 allow for what we call the entourage effect, helping the cannabinoids to work synergistically.

What dosage of CBD should I use?

We recommend a daily dose of 50mg of CBD. Take in one or two doses.

Is CBD legal in France?

Yes, CBD is legal because it is not considered a narcotic product. The Interministerial Mission for the Fight against Drugs and Addictive Behaviours has specified that in order to be marketed and used, it must meet several cumulative conditions: the variety of hemp from which the molecule is derived must be approved by the authorities and appear on an exhaustive list included in article 2 of the decree of August 22, 1990; the plant must have a THC content of less than 0.2 %; neither its flowers nor its leaves can be used and, lastly, there must be no trace of THC in the finished product.
We can thus affirm that in France, CBD is not considered as a drug and that it is perfectly legal to buy and consume products which contain it as long as they respect the French regulations. THC, on the other hand, is strictly forbidden to be sold, classified as a narcotic product.

What is the difference between cannabis, marijuana and hemp?

The term cannabis is the generic word for the botanical genus, which includes many varieties.

The main difference between marijuana and hemp is that the latter contains a negligible and legally permitted amount of THC. Only if the THC content of a plant remains under a certain threshold, 0.2 %, can it be legally classified as hemp. Above that, it is considered marijuana.

In France, hemp is used in the textile industry, construction, cosmetics and food. We speak then of industrial hemp, the one from which we extract CBD.

Is there THC in NŌTO products?

No, our products do not contain THC. We make sure of it by having all our batches of products analyzed by a third party laboratory in France.

Can CBD make you "high"?

Unlike THC and its derivatives, CBD will not make you "high" because this molecule has no psychotropic effect and is not addictive unlike THC.
