CBD is different from THC, which is the psychoactive component found predominantly in marijuana. Our CBD oil is derived from legally grown hemp in the EU, and has no trace of THC. 

THC stands for Tetrahydrocannabinol. CBD stands for Cannabidiol. THC will get you high, CBD won’t. It’s that simple.

THC and CBD are both cannabinoids. Just two of 85 different compounds found in the chemical makeup of the cannabis plant. 

CBD is known to actually counteract the effect of THC, the component of marijuana that makes you feel “high.”

There’s a good deal of confusion around the word Cannabis. Whenever we hear it, we assume that people are talking about marijuana, whereas in fact only a few plants in the Cannabis family contain any THC at all.   

Grass and Co. extract their CBD from hemp that is cultivated to be low in THC and high in CBD. Our special extraction techniques remove the THC until only trace amounts remain. 

Which means that all our oils are completely legal, non-psychoactive and specially designed to boost your health and wellbeing. 

Medical marijuana which contains THC and CBD is now available on prescription in the USA and Canada where both are valued for their therapeutic effects. 

In the UK where THC is illegal we’re far more excited by CBD which has no hallucinogenic properties but offers a range of health and wellness benefits and can be taken in a number of different ways. 

Whether you use our CBD tinctures or incorporate our soothing skin care products in your bedtime ritual, Grass and Co. have designed a CBD product to suit your needs. 

Just to recap; Marijuana contains THC = gets you high. Hemp contains CBD = won’t get you high. 

Yes. CBD oil extracted from hemp is absolutely legal in the EU. While almost all cannabinoids are controlled substances under the Misuse of Drugs Act, CBD is not. Industrial hemp may be grown under licence. Hemp based products are legal in the EU as long as they do not contain more than trace elements of THC, which is a controlled substance under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.

CBD oil derived from Hemp (also known as Cannabis Oil or Cannabidiol) has soared in popularity and as many as 250,000 people now take it regularly in the UK alone.  

Grass & Co.’s CBD is extracted from the flowers of Hemp that’s grown on farms in the European Union and contains less than <0.2% THC.

After extraction, Grass & Co.’s CBD oil contains only trace elements of THC which means that all our CBD products are legal to buy, consume and supply within the UK and the EU.

At Grass and Co. we recommend the sublingual route. Confused? Don’t be. Just place the required number of drops of CBD oil under your tongue and hold them there for up to 60 seconds for maximum absorption and a longer lasting effect. 

Other options include topical application i.e. simply rubbing oil directly onto problem areas. 

For those reluctant to do anything out of the ordinary we recommend oral consumption. In other words, add the oil to the food you’re preparing just as you would any other ingredient.

First time users often complain that CBD tastes a little bitter and earthy. 

Which is why Grass & Co. blend our oils with essential oils that compliment CBD’s unique taste. We find most substantial plant based botanical ingredients play well alongside CBD.

While CBD is legal throughout the E.U. we do advise against travelling with it in case airport staff confuse it for an illegal cannabis product. We strongly advise against travelling outside of Europe with any CBD product.

No. CBD is not illegal and is not something that drug tests scan for. Professional athletes take note; WADA (the World Anti-Doping Agency) have specifically exempted CBD from the list of prohibited drugs, though THC remains prohibited.

While the law allows CBD products to contain trace elements of THC, Grass & Co. CBD Oils contain a pure filtered form of CBD that is THC-free.

A review of clinical trials involving CBD by the WHO (The World Health Organisation) confirmed that only a few participants report adverse reactions to CBD. These are often the result of drug interactions caused when CBD is taken alongside other medications. 

This can occur because the group of liver enzymes that break down CBD is also responsible for metabolizing pre-existing medications. Which means that the effect of CBD can be diminished or heightened. 

If you’re taking strong medications, we recommend you talk to your doctor before beginning using CBD, so that they can help monitor your dosage and progress.

Grass & Co. adhere closely to the UK regulations applied to the CBD industry. As a result, we never make unsupported health claims relating to CBD oil.

Everyone is engineered differently and this means that no one size fits all when it comes to CBD dosing. At Grass & Co. our mantra is ‘start low and go slow.’ Starting with a lower dose and listening to your body allows you to assess how the active compounds are affecting you. 

CBD is not magic. It will not resolve your financial problems, heal your ailments overnight or reveal the path to enlightenment. It’s merely a step in the right direction. A step that you can prepare for by eating well and making sure your body is well hydrated.

All of us are built differently and the effect that CBD has on you depends upon your weight, metabolism and general health at the time at which you take it. Once you have worked out what time of day works best for you we recommend taking it at least once or twice a day. 

Everyone is different. The right dosage really varies from person to person, so we’d recommend to ‘start low and go slow’. See how you feel, and adapt how much you’re taking accordingly. The FSA advises that maximum daily dosage for a healthy adult should not exceed 70mg – that’s about 28-30 droplets of our 500mg CBD Oil.

We can however recommend that you care for yourself first and do so best by making informed holistic decisions about your health and wellbeing. 

CBD Oil is entirely safe to use. If this is your first time using CBD, our mantra is to ‘start low and go slow.’ Starting with a lower dose and listening to your body allows you to assess how the CBD is affecting you and changing your dosage according to how you feel. We recommend starting with a 500mg CBD Oil and taking up to three times per day as needed, but no more than 30 drops per day.

Of course. CBD is widely available on the high street and online. It’s rapidly becoming very popular in the UK as more people are learning about its calming, restorative properties. We recommend that you fully research where you buy your CBD to ensure that the retailer is reliable and can be trusted to source the highest quality CBD brands, especially if you’re a first-time buyer.

Grass & Co. CBD oils contain no trace of THC. The hemp we source has very low levels of THC and this is subsequently removed during our extraction process.

Yes, CBD Oil is considered halal. This is because it contains only trace elements of THC, which is otherwise deemed haram.

Whilst it’s possible to put CBD in a diffuser, we wouldn’t recommend it for two reasons. Firstly, CBD oil is best used when it’s directly absorbed by the body either under the tongue or on the skin; secondly, it’s a question of choice – we believe that CBD is a personal choice, and by diffusing it into the air, you’re taking away that of whoever is sharing the space.

No, CBD Oil can’t be used in a vape because it’s too viscous to be burned in a vape pen. If you would like to try CBD via this method, ‘CBD juice’ or ‘CBD vape liquids are much more suitable, as they contain thinning agents.

We wouldn’t recommend putting CBD oil in tea as it’s not water-soluble, meaning that your body is unlikely to absorb it effectively if consuming it in this way. The most effective method of ingestion is simply to apply it sublingually (underneath your tongue).

Although rare, as with any essential oil, it’s possible to get an allergic reaction to CBD oil. If you believe you may be susceptible to an allergic reaction, we’d always recommend consulting a medical or healthcare professional before using.

Yes – CBD Muscle Balms and Body Oils are designed to be massaged into the skin, providing relief to aching joints and sore muscles. Made entirely from natural products our products are suitable for sensitive skin.

We’d recommend not mixing CBD Oil with alcohol. By keeping them separate, you can isolate and track the positive effects of the CBD Oil and amend your dosage accordingly.

CBD stands for Cannabidiol. A natural extract of the hemp plant that is both legal and non-intoxicating (No psychoactive or addictive effects.)

With so many different types of CBD Oil available in the UK, it’s worthwhile finding out how your CBD products are made and sourced. Our CBD Oil is both legal and non-intoxicating (no psychoactive or addictive effects) as it has no trace of THC.

The extraction process is how the hemp, or cannabis plant, is transformed into a CBD product. It’s during this process that the CBD is isolated from the other plant compounds such as terpenes or different cannabinoids.

After extensive research, Grass & Co. chose to use CBD isolate rather than full spectrum when developing our CBD range.

The key advantage of using an isolate CBD is that it enables us to ensure we are always providing our customers with the correct amount of pure, high quality CBD. Our state-of-the-art extraction process allows for precise and consistent output. This means that our CBD range avoids any trace of other cannabinoids that are controlled substances such as THC or many others that fall into a grey area within UK food regulations.  

In contrast, a full spectrum CBD extracts a full profile of cannabinoids and terpenes from the cannabis plant and will often contain trace amounts of THC that could show up in a drug test.

Other benefits of CBD isolate include improved taste and flavours which are enjoyable to take every day.

Grass & Co. are committed to maintaining the highest standards in the CBD industry. We rigorously test all our products and publish these full lab test results on the product pages of all of our CBD products.

Our CBD Oil is extracted from hemp that is grown organically. However, to be certified organic in Europe, cultivators need to have gone through at least 3 crop rotations.

As the hemp and CBD market is so young, most of the cultivation does not have sufficient history to be certified organic yet.

Humans have grown hemp for food, fabric and medicine since 8000 BC. A resilient, low impact crop, Hemp is the plant called ‘Cannabis Sativa; which means ‘useful (Sativa) Hemp (Cannabis).’ 

Hemp is best known as a source of fibre for making rope or twine but its flowers and seeds contain nutritious plant proteins and a broad spectrum of compounds that are beneficial to our health and wellbeing.

It is important to understand that Hemp is not ‘Marijuana’ which is a solitary strain within the wider Cannabis Sativa family.  In fact, Hemp and Marijuana are like chalk and cheese. 

Marijuana has been cultivated to contain high levels of the intoxicating, Tetrahydrocannabidinol (THC) compound that some people inhale or ingest for its trademark ‘high.’

Hemp on the other hand, is prized for the high levels of Cannabidiol (CBD) and other non-intoxicating compounds that people take to help lift their mood, calm their mind, reduce inflammation and relieve chronic pain.

Defined a weed, it takes up relatively little space and grows prolifically with little water. Its dense canopy of leaves eradicates the need for pesticides and herbicides thereby reducing soil toxicity. It thrives in adverse soil conditions and its roots prevent soil erosion. Furthermore, industrial hemp readily absorbs more CO2 than any other commercial crop or commercial forestry.

In the 1970s President Nixon declared a “War on Drugs” and signed the Controlled Substances Act into law banning a set of compounds, including Marijuana and Hemp. 

This classification of Hemp as a drug in the USA, even though it  does not share Marijuana’s intoxicating effect has caused confusion around the world ever since.
