CBD is an acronym for Cannabidiol (Can-a-bid-i-ol), a prominent naturally occurring class of molecules called cannabinoids found in the plant genus Cannabis Sativa L. CBD comprises up to 40% of the plant and is one of over 60 plus compounds found in cannabis. Of these compounds, CBD and THC are usually present in the highest concentrations, and are therefore the most recognized and studied. CBD is a non-psychoactive component of the plant that possesses a wide range of benefits and does not cause a high, unlike THC. Our bodies are made up of an endocannabinoid system and use cannabinoids to maintain healthy cells.

CBD oil is derived from cannabis plants that have high levels of cannabidiol (CBD) while having low levels of THC. At Challenge State, our CBD oils always have 0 THC. These extracts can then be used in paste form, or mixed with other oils such as hemp seed oil, to lower the viscosity of the extract. The cannabidiol (CBD) content of CBD oil varies tremendously, since the manufacturers use a varying assortment of cannabis plants and preparation techniques. We produce CBD oil with a high concentration of CBD and containing no THC.

Our Hemp Strain is a medicinal form of Industrial Hemp which is very different from Standard Industrial Hemp Strains in China and Europe.  You would not be able to tell the difference (at first Glance) between our strain and a marijuana strain.  The difference is that our THC content in our strain is below .1% THC (which actually much less than what we need to qualify at).  Our products are tested every year by the Department of Agriculture to ensure they meet the Industrial Hemp Standard.

We produce CBD oil that is sold as a dietary supplement, so we're not making any medical claims. However we do encourage you to research this topic yourself, as there are trustworthy websites where you'll find studies on the effects and benefits of cannabidiol in various conditions. We may refer to such studies here, but only to inform you about them. Our CBD products are not intended to treat, cure or prevent any disease although it is quite possible those suffering from any one or more of a variety of ailments could see benefit from taking CBD.

No

Yes, CBD Hemp Oil is legal in the EU, US, so fear not. Countries that have effectively legalized both recreational marijuana and medicinal cannabis include Canada, Georgia, Spain, and Uruguay.

Australia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, The Netherlands, Peru, Poland, United Kingdom

Other countries have more restrictive laws that only allow the use of certain cannabinoids like CBD. In the United States, 31 states and the District of Columbia have legalized the medical use of marijuana. Hemp products are legal in all 50 States of the United States. In Europe, marijuana and cannabis laws differ from country to country. According to EU law, CBD products cannot contain more than 0.2% THC. This applies to all counties in the European Union.

No. Unlike THC, the dominant marijuana compound that does cause a high, CBD does not contain the same psychoactive properties. For you, that means the safe and secure use of CBD, able to harness its benefits while being in complete control.

As far as we are aware CBD is considered very safe. With all our products having gone through stringent production processes, we’re confident that our hemp CBD oil is safe for consumption. As ever, if you are already on any medication you should consult with your doctor beforehand.

They are not the same thing. High levels of THC are commonly found in the popular plant but less so in the case of CBD. It makes sense, then, that THC can send you soaring on a high while CBD is reassuringly non-psychoactive. Disappointing to recreational users, perhaps, but brilliant news for the thousands of people looking to benefit from its proposed curative properties without enduring unwanted side effects.

CBD doesn’t contain the same psychoactive properties as THC meaning it can be ingested without the side effects usually associated with marijuana or cannabis. So it’s not hard to see why it’s fast becoming a popular addition to people’s daily and dietary supplements.

It depends entirely on what product you purchase from our shop but everything comes with its own dedicated set of instructions to make ingestion as simple as possible. From balm that you apply to your lips and gum you chew to capsules you swallow with water to liquid you drop under your tongue, there’s something to suit everyone. Meaning our products fit nice and easily into your life.

As always, you should consult with your doctor prior to taking any new supplements or medications to ensure there are no conflicts in their effects on your system.

They are the same plant. Cannabis is the correct scientific term. Challenge State products are made from industrial hemp and contain no THC.

They are also naturally occurring fats in omega 6 and 3, terpenes and flavonoids.

All Challenge State products are third party tested under strict laboratory conditions using HPLC analysis (high performance liquid chromatograpghy)

Within the EU you will not have problems travelling with Challenge State products, as they do not contain any THC. If travelling outside the EU check with your travel agent or airline.

Hemp is generally considered safe, so there shouldn't be any significant side effects of CBD, but we can't rule them out as it really depends on how your body tolerates and adapts to these dietary supplements.

Depending on your body type CBD could potentially react negatively with your body and have opposite effects to what CBD is known to help. For example, you could experience worse sleep quality, increased negative emotions and anxiety etc. But don’t fear because once you stop taking CBD the effects usually disappear within 24hrs and completely out of your system within 3 to 5 days.

We recommend to consult your physician before using any dietary supplement, including our CBD oil.

Some of the other reported side effects of CBD include an increased heart rate, weird dreams, dry mouth, low blood pressure, light headedness, and drowsiness.

Technically, cannabinoids from marijuana and cannabinoids from hemp are the same, meaning that they have the same properties. However, as previously explained in this FAQ, hemp contains very little to no THC. Perhaps just 10ths of one percent. Marijuana on the other hand is very high in THC (usually between 10% and 25%) and makes you high. This is why you should opt for hemp CBD oil if you intend to use it as a food supplement. If you take THC with CBD, the effects of THC will be diminished as CBD attaches to the same receptors in the endocannabinoid system.

Amazon doesn’t allow CBD products to be sold on amazon, if you search CBD oil on Amazon and Ebay only hemp oil will appear. Always check the ingredients and lab test before purchasing CBD products online.

In general, you’ll want to start your doses out small, and move up from there. The majority of frequent (daily) CBD users find that a dose between 10 and 20 mg (administered once or twice daily) is enough to provide effective relief from a variety of ailments.
