Some things are easier to watch than to read. These short CBD education videos from the Made By Hemp team cover the questions we hear most: what CBD is, whether it gets you high, what to know before you buy, and how to find the serving that works for you. Each video comes with a link to a written guide if you would rather read.
We have made it our goal to share all the CBD education we possibly can, and this library is the visual-learner version. For the full collection, stop by our YouTube channel.
CBD basics
What is CBD?
A plain-language introduction to cannabidiol: where it comes from and how it fits into the hemp plant. Prefer reading? Start with What is CBD?
What does CBD stand for?
The name, the abbreviation, and why “cannabidiol” is easier than it sounds. Our written CBD guide covers the same ground in more depth.
What are cannabinoids?
CBD is one of many compounds in hemp. This one explains the whole cannabinoid family. Read the full explainer: What are cannabinoids?
Common CBD questions
Does CBD get you high?
The short answer is no, hemp-derived CBD is not intoxicating. The video explains why. For the longer answer, see What is CBD?
CBD oil vs. THC oil: what’s the difference?
Two very different products that often get lumped together. Our guide to the legal status of CBD breaks down where the line is drawn.
Will CBD make you fail a drug test?
It depends on what is in your product. Full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and isolate are not the same thing, and the difference matters here. See What is hemp extract? for the spectrum guide.
Buying and using CBD
How much CBD oil should I take?
Start low, stay consistent, and follow the serving size on your product’s label. Our guide on how to use hemp oil walks through every form, from tinctures to gummies.
Why you shouldn’t buy CBD oil on Amazon
Amazon does not allow CBD to be sold, so what shows up in those listings usually is not CBD at all. Learn what to look for instead in our CBD Buyer’s Guide.
Is CBD legal?
Hemp and its cannabinoids were federally legalized by the 2018 Farm Bill, with rules that still vary by state. The full picture is in Is CBD legal? CBD’s legal status.
CBD for pets
CBD oil for cats and dogs
Pets have an endocannabinoid system too. This video covers the basics of sharing CBD with your cat or dog, and our CBD for pets guide includes a serving-by-weight chart and our pet lineup.
