Cannabidiol, or CBD, is one of 113 known cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. CBD has many beneficial properties and is used to promote wellness.

While no health claims can be made, the primary reasons cited by customers using CBD are for pain relief, anxiety relief, and to aid in promoting sleep. CBD also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and is available in topical, edible, and tincture (drops) form.

Cannabinoids are chemical compounds produced by the cannabis plant. The human body (and the bodies of all vertebrates) produce endocannabinoids, while cannabinoids found in plants are called phytocannabinoids. Cannabinoids interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) to promote homeostasis. Find our handy cannabinoid guide here!

The human body has two receptors for cannabinoids the CB1 and CB2 receptors. Although both are found all over the body, CB1 receptors are present in the brain and deal with pain, movement, cognitive function, and mood. CB2 receptors are more common in the immune system and affect pain and inflammation, among other things. THC attaches to the CB1 receptors, whereas CBD interacts with the CB2 receptors. Unlike THC which attaches to receptors, CBD does not attach to the CB2 receptor. Rather, researchers believe that CBD influences the body’s use of endocannabinoids (promoting homeostasis).

The human endocannabinoid system, or ECS, is a system of neurotransmitters and cell membrane receptors. Neurotransmitters such as endocannabinoids are produced by the central nervous system and interact with cannabinoid receptors on cell membranes to adjust physiological processes at a cellular level.

Commonly referred to as “CBD Oil”, a CBD tincture is CBD in liquid form. CBD extracts (isolate or distillate) are infused into medium-chain triglycerides (MCT oil) from coconuts, which serves as a carrier oil. Tinctures are ingested orally. Fill the syringe on your dropper to 1ml and squirt under your tongue. Hold under your tongue for 60-90 seconds before swallowing.

Your effective dose will depend on a number of factors, including the severity of your condition, the delivery/consumption method, and the size of the person. Suggested dosing ranges from 5mg to 50mg per serving.

Our tinctures come in 750mg (25mg/serving), 1500mg (50mg/serving), 3000mg (100mg/serving), and in some cases, 6,000mg (100mg/serving in a 2 oz. tincture vs. a 1 oz. tincture for the 750, 1500mg, and 3000mg options).

You can find our tincture dosing video here explaining, in detail, the various dosing options. You can also read our tincture dosing blog article here.

CBD has not been approved by the FDA, so CBD companies cannot make health claims. However, the top reasons our customers cite for using CBD include pain, inflammation, anxiety, and problems sleeping.

Our Full-Spectrum CBD products contain <0.3% THC, the Federally legal limit. Our Broad-Spectrum and CBD Isolate products are 0.00% THC, which you can see for yourself on our Lab Results page.

Full-spectrum products are formulated with a CBD extract that has the same cannabinoid profile as the hemp biomass from which it came. Sunny Skies CBD uses only hemp biomass that is high in CBD, rich in minor cannabinoids, and below the legal threshold of 0.3% THC. Sunny Skies CBD’s Full-Spectrum Tinctures are under 0.3% THC and legal in all 50 states.

Cannabinoids are compounds that act on the body’s endocannabinoid system that alter neurotransmitter release in the brain. Each cannabinoid interacts with the endocannabinoid differently and has different benefits. The most notable cannabinoids are CBD and THC, but there are at least 113 known cannabinoids. The other 111+ cannabinoids are commonly referred to as “minor cannabinoids”.

Minor cannabinoids are another type of cannabinoid found in hemp and cannabis plants. These cannabinoids are “minor” because of their lower plant material concentrations, but their effects certainly aren’t minor. Currently, the most common minor cannabinoids are CBG, CBC, THCV, and CBN. You can learn more about each in our blog article here.

The presence of other cannabinoids and terpenes affect the way your body responds to cannabinoids in a synergistic manner in which the combined effect of CBD and other cannabinoids and/or terpenes is greater than the sum of its parts. If you would like to take advantage of the entourage effect, we recommend a Full-Spectrum CBD Tincture, or any of our products with terpenes, such as our CBD Shatter.

Sunny Skies CBD believes in providing potent CBD products. However, the amount of CBD varies from product to product. Please refer to the front of each product’s label, where the amount of CBD is prominently displayed. To view product labels, visit our Online Store.

Yes, we publish them on our Lab Results page. You can also view the lab results by scanning the QR code on all Sunny Skies CBD products, or by scrolling through the product images on the Online Store.

Every product is labeled with a Batch ID/QR code sticker which identifies the product type, potency, and expiration date. Learn more about our Batch ID/QR code labeling system here!

There are no incidences of CBD consumption causing illness. CBD is completely non-toxic, meaning you cannot overdose. Additionally, all Sunny Skies CBD products undergo rigorous testing to guarantee that they are free from contaminants. You can see all our Lab Results here.

There are no known side effects. However, extremely large servings of CBD may cause drowsiness.

More research needs to be done. If you are taking prescription medications, speak to a qualified health professional.

The ideal method for taking CBD depends on the reason it is being used. For most conditions, we recommend a tincture due to its high bioavailability, precise dosing, and convenience. Many users also prefer topicals for certain conditions such as joint and muscle pain.

It depends on the method and dose. For products with high bioavailability like tinctures, users often report immediate results. However, most of the effects of CBD are subtle and take up to a half hour or more to be detectable. Individual results may vary.

It depends on the reason CBD is used, but you can use CBD throughout the day, or at particular times.

Yes, there are usually no issues when taken on an empty stomach.

We send samples to a third-party lab for all hemp used in processing, all extracts we produce, and each batch of CBD products we formulate to ensure purity, accurate cannabinoid concentrations, and consistency. Click here to view the Lab Results page.

Yes, we send samples to a third-party lab for all hemp used in processing, all extracts we produce, and each batch of CBD products we formulate to ensure purity, accurate cannabinoid concentrations, and consistency. This includes testing for THC levels and potential contaminants.

Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychotropic and is extremely unlikely to cause a high.

CBD has not been approved by the FDA in the treatment of any condition aside from particular seizure disorders. Consult a physician to determine if you could benefit from using CBD.

Hemp is legally defined as cannabis with less than 0.3% of the cannabinoid THC. THC causes a high and is illegal federally. Hemp contains trace amounts of THC, is unlikely to cause a high, and is legal to possess in all 50 US states. All Sunny Skies CBD products except for the Full-Spectrum CBD Tinctures are 0.00% THC due to a process that removes THC from the extract used to infuse its products with CBD.

Like most CBD processors, we use ethanol as our solvent of choice. Although it is possible to use CO2 as a solvent to produce the highest purity extracts, ethanol has emerged as a more energy-efficient and scalable alternative. It is important to note that all ethanol is removed from the extracts through a process of evaporation and distillation.

Although we use organic growing methods, we are not yet organic certified. In order to be USDA certified organic, you need to have grown on the same plot of land for 3 consecutive years. In 2019, we grew our CBD biomass ourselves on two rented fields in Arkansaw, WI and Somerset, WI. Halfway through the growing season in 2019, we found a 17-acre plot of land in Durand, WI about a half-mile away from our lab with remarkably clean soil far removed from the industrial agriculture plots. We grew for the first time on this land in 2020, and planted our third crop on the same land in 2021 and 2022. Our application for USDA organic certification is pending and will be approved in June 2023. Until then, we will continue using organic growing methods!

Yes! Additionally, we are a licensed Hemp Processor in Wisconsin, and our lab is an FDA-licensed Food Processing Plant. You can see all our licenses here.

We are a USDA-licensed hemp grower in the state of Wisconsin. We grew our 2019 crop on two fields: one in Arkansaw in Pepin County, Wisconsin, and one in Somerset, Wisconsin. We outgrew those two plots, however, and are growing on a 17-acre plot in Durand since 2020. For more info about our growing methods, check out Our Farm page.

All of our products are kosher except for our gummies, which are made with gelatin, and our CBD Pet Tincture, which contains Bone Broth Collagen.

Hemp has a variety of uses. According to a 2018 report by Congressional Research Services, there are an estimated 25,000 products derived from hemp in the following categories: agriculture, textiles, recycling, automotive, furniture, food and beverages, paper, construction materials, and personal care.

CBD does not have an expiration date, however, some Sunny Skies CBD products have ingredients that do. Please refer to the expiration date on the packaging. Additionally, CBD can degrade with exposure to direct sunlight, air, and heat. Products should be stored in airtight containers in a cool, dark place.

Sunny Skies CBD products do not need to be refrigerated, but a refrigerator is not a bad place to keep your store your product so long as it is out of the reach of children. CBD products should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Exposure to air, direct sunlight, and heat can degrade CBD.

Hemp is a variety of cannabis that is under 0.3% THC. It is grown for food, fiber, or CBD extracted from its flowers. In other words, CBD is a derivative of the hemp plant.

If you are using a Sunny Skies CBD Full-Spectrum Tincture, there is a greater than zero chance that the trace and legal amount of THC in the product could cause you to test positive for THC. All other Sunny Skies CBD products are 0.00% THC. These products are not expected to cause a positive result for THC. However, Sunny Skies CBD cannot and does not represent or warrant the results that any individual may experience and advises customers to consider the risks of incorrect detection prior to use of this product.

Hemp seed oil does not contain CBD or other cannabinoids. While CBD is extracted from the cannabis plant’s flowers, hemp seed oil is produced by pressing the plant’s seeds. Look for Cannabidiol (CBD) on the Supplement Facts of the label to determine whether or not the product contains CBD.

Due to its interaction with the endocannabinoid system to help support the body’s effort to maintain homeostasis, CBD is very popular among people with no health concerns seeking to optimize health.

Purchasing CBD products on Amazon is a precarious undertaking because Amazon doesn’t allow the sale of CBD products, which creates a murky group of sellers that are having to constantly re-upload their products after Amazon pulls them down. There are ways to stay under the radar longer by advertising products as “hemp extracts” instead of specifying the specific CBD extract used in product formulation. This lack is transparency leads to many products that do not even contain CBD, or have far lower than reported milligram content. Some companies even sell hemp seed oil and market it in a way that leads customers to believe it is CBD. Most of it comes from overseas, and you find very few national US brands on Amazon.

Cannabidiolic acid, or CBDa for short, is a natural compound that the cannabis plant produces. It’s primarily found in plant material (hemp biomass or flower), or in extracts that are processed without the application of heat (crude CBD oil). Check out our CBDa FAQ blog here for more information.

CBGa, or cannabigerolic acid, is one of many minor cannabinoids produced by the cannabis plant. CBGa is a foundational compound of the cannabis flower. In fact, you might think of CBGa as the “granddaddy” of cannabinoids. Check out our CBGa FAQ blog here for more information.

Cannabigerol (CBG) is considered a minor cannabinoid because it is present in low levels (usually less than 1%) in most cannabis strains. What is CBG used for? CBG works to fight nausea, pain, inflammation and works to slow down the proliferation of cancer cells. Research has shown it also significantly reduces intraocular eye pressure caused by glaucoma. CBG may be beneficial in treating conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, and cancer. CBG may also have antidepressant qualities by increasing GABA and serotonin in the brain. Check out our CBG Tinctures here!

Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) is a cannabinoid that, if present in high enough doses, can interact with the body’s endocannabinoid receptors to induce psychoactive effects. THCV, like Delta-9-THC, can act as an agonist of the body’s CB1 endocannabinoid receptor, although the effects of THCV are much weaker than THC. At lower doses (10-20mg) THCV can behave as a CB1 receptor antagonist, meaning that it has the potential to attenuate some of the less-desirable effects of THC that are thought to be CB1 receptor-mediated, lessened cognitive function, and food cravings known as “munchies”. Learn more about THCV in our blog here.

Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as delta-8 THC, is a psychoactive substance found in the Cannabis sativa plant. Delta-8 THC is one of over 100 cannabinoids produced naturally by the cannabis plant, typically only in small amounts. However, CBD can be converted into Delta-8-THC through a simple chemical reaction.

The chemical structure of Delta-8-THC is similar to that of its well-known cousin, Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-9-THC), the main psychoactive compound found in marijuana. That’s what gets you “high.” Both Delta-8 and Delta-9 are forms of THC. But when people refer to THC, they usually mean the Delta-9 that’s found in high concentrations in marijuana. Both produce a euphoric, fuzzy feeling, but Delta-8 causes a milder high. Check out our Delta-8-THC blog here.
