Psychoactive Effects in Hemp Products?

Across the country, CBD products are rapidly growing in popularity. In parts of the country where recreational marijuana is illegal, these products are doing extremely well. While part of the reason for this is because of the medical benefits of CBD, there is another secret behind the success of hemp products as well. If you consume enough of these hemp products, you can actually achieve some of hemp’s psychoactive effects.

Hemp Products Include a Surprising Amount of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)

In the southern part of the United States and in many other states, marijuana is still prohibited. This is part of the reason why CBD is so popular in these areas. According to the 2018 Farm Bill, it is legal to have hemp products contain up to 0.3 percent. While this sounds like a small amount, it is still enough to get you high.

For example, you can take a look at the CBD Infusionz tincture that has 5,280 milligrams of CBD in it. Legally, the bottle could contain 2 milligrams of THC for every 65 milligrams of CBD. While CBD Infusionz actually contains less THC than it is legally allowed to, it could legally include up to 162 milligrams of THC.

If you have ever been to a recreational store in a state where marijuana is legal, you already know that a typical dose of THC is much lower than 162 milligrams. In general, a small person becomes high after taking 5 milligrams of THC. A normal-sized person may need a 10-milligram dose. This means that the tincture bottle of CBD Infusionz could legally contain 16 to 32 doses of THC.

When you look at a tincture bottle that has 2,000 milligrams of CBD, each pipette could legally contain slightly more than 2 milligrams of THC. If you took two or three doses, you might be able to achieve the full psychoactive effects of THC. Technically, two or three pipettes could count as a full dose.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Having THC in CBD Products

Whether you want to get high or just like CBD’s health benefits, hemp oil, and other products can help. The fact that there is THC in a hemp product is actually an advantage because THC produces a synergistic effect when you take it with CBD. This effect is known as the entourage effect. Basically, CBD and THC work together to create an effect that is greater than their individual parts.

The only downside is if you plan on taking a drug test. While many bosses skip drug tests for cannabis, this is not always the case. If you consume any THC, it can lead to a failed drug test. While there are many advantages to having THC in your hemp products, we recommend avoiding the consumption of any THC if you have random drug tests for your job.
