CBD stands for cannabidiol, a compound naturally found in hemp and cannabis plants. Unlike THC, it is non-intoxicating, and it does not produce a high. Numerous studies indicate that CBD may support homeostasis, or balance in your body’s natural rhythms. It is also commonly used to promote overall wellness.
CBD oil is a natural oil which is extracted from the flowers and leaves of the cannabis plant. It is used by people all over the world for a variety of purposes.
Cannabinoids are active compounds produced by all cannabis plants. They account for most of the benefits of cannabis. Cannabinoids found in plants are technically called phytocannabinoids, while cannabinoids produced by the human body are called endocannabinoids. Cannabinoids interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which promotes homeostasis.
CBD’s effects are a result of its interaction with the endocannabinoid system. CBD impacts the ECS indirectly, most often through activation of outside receptors and interaction with enzymes.
Unfortunately, we are not allowed to tell you! We wish we could, not only because we are incredibly proud of our products, but also because we have spoken to and get emails from people telling us how Passion Brands has made a difference in their lives. However, the US Food and Drug Administration currently prohibits all manufacturers of dietary supplements from making any claims about the ability of their products to treat specific health conditions. Health claims are only permitted where approved by the FDA and based on accepted clinical trials. Because CBD is relatively new to the market, the lengthy clinical trial period is still in process.
We do understand how important it is to comply with FDA rules, and we know that their oversight of the CBD market will only help to distinguish our high-quality products from other brands in the marketplace. Until the FDA approves clinical trials (and lets us shout about our products from the rooftops), we encourage our customers to look at the considerable information online about CBD. Of course we also think you should give Passion Brands a try! Either way, we know you’ll be delighted by what you discover.
Hemp seed oil is distinct from CBD oil. While CBD is extracted from the cannabis plant’s flowers, hemp seed oil is produced by pressing the plant’s seeds. Hemp seed oil is similar to other seed oils such as corn oil and sesame oil. Hemp seed oil has its own benefits, but it does not contain cannabinoids such as CBD.
Hemp is a variety of cannabis that is grown for food and fibers. CBD is a molecular compound found in the plant’s extracts. Passion CBD is extracted from a proprietary strain of hemp known as PCR hemp, or phytocannabinoid-rich hemp. This proprietary strain is far richer in CBD and other cannabinoids and terpenes than the basic hemp plant used by most CBD producers which makes us very unique compared to most out there!
There are no known incidences of illness caused by consumption of CBD oil. Our products undergo rigorous testing to guarantee they are free of any potential contaminants.
Hemp and marijuana are both types of cannabis. Marijuana contains a cannabinoid known as THC, which causes a high and is known as a drug. Hemp contains negligible amounts of THC and is unlikely to cause a high. Passion Brands CBD products undergo a patented process which removes traces of THC from the final product.
Many people use CBD to promote a state known as homeostasis, the body’s natural tendency to maintain a healthy balance in all its systems. Cannabinoids are an integral part of the human body’s ability to regulate and balance a wide variety of physiological systems. CBD is also used by some for specific purposes such as supporting a good night’s rest or maintaining well-functioning joints.
We are not ruling out what we may carry in the future as we plan to keep up with customer demand however for now the answer is no. And if that ever changes we will clearly let you know via our website and labeling. All of our products show no detectable THC on their lab reports. We use patented technology to remove any residual THC found in our hemp extract.
Raw hemp extract may contain small traces of THC.
All Passion Brands CBD products go through rigorous testing by third-party labs to assure purity and accurate concentrations of cannabinoids. This includes testing to be sure that our products are free of THC and any potential contaminants.
Yes. All Passion Brands products go through a rigorous series of tests by third-party labs to ensure purity and accurate concentrations of cannabinoids. This includes testing to be sure that our products are free of THC and any potential contaminants.
Yes, our lab reports for each batch are posted on our website. You can find the link to our results all over (under the LEARN tab currently at the top, at the bottom links of virtually every page and in the product pages themselves. A good company has nothing to hide. Keep in mind that all lab reports are not created equally. Some do not test for many important things they should, we've even seen some that do not even tell how much CBD is in the product. If you have any questions about the lab reports we post please let us know. We are always happy to answer any questions you may have. We believe this is a very important part of selecting a good CBD oil provider.
Medical cannabis is another term for medical marijuana. Marijuana contains THC, which is a cannabinoid that causes a high. Medical cannabis can cause severe impairments. CBD is not psychotropic, meaning that it does not cause a high. It can be used while working, driving or undertaking any other physical activities such as exercise and sports.
CBD oil has not been approved by the FDA in the treatment of any conditions aside from particular seizure disorders. Consult with a qualified medical professional to determine if your condition could benefit from CBD.
The term broad spectrum refers to CBD oil products that contain a combination of cannabinoids, terpenes and other beneficial compounds found in hemp. While many CBD oil products are made using CBD isolate, Passion Brands CBD broad spectrum oils maintain concentrations of the beneficial compounds that are found in the original hemp plant. Our broad spectrum products contain no detectable THC, as shown on our lab reports.
Full spectrum CBD oil is very similar to broad spectrum CBD — the exception is that full spectrum oil usually retains the trace amounts of THC present in the hemp plant. Legally, though, this amount of THC must always be less than 0.3%.
Currently ALL Passion Brands CBD products are made with broad spectrum oils which have had traces of THC removed. Our products are extremely unlikely to cause a high.
Some of the effects reported by CBD oil users include improved mood, restful sleep, increased attention and focus, pain relief, reduced anxiety and Depression and others. However, organic compounds such as CBD can produce different effects in different people. Your results may vary. Again we must state according to the FDA rules we can not and do not many ANY claims on what our particular products can do for any individual person. We are simply stating what many others have claimed it has done for them. It is certainly worth giving our product a try and see how it may work for you.
There is no record of anyone ever overdosing on CBD. CBD is completely non-toxic. Also, all of Passion Brands lab reports show that our products have no detectable THC.
The benefits of broad spectrum products are usually greater than the benefits provided by others, such as those containing just CBD isolate. This is due to what’s known as the entourage effect. The entourage effect occurs when compounds in the hemp plant, including cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids, work together to produce even greater effects than just CBD alone. Curerntly, all Passion Brands products contain broad spectrum CBD oil. This will always be marked on our site and on our labeling. However, organic compounds such as CBD can produce different effects in different people. Your results may vary.
Terpenes are a class of volatile hydrocarbon compounds produced in the flower clusters of the cannabis plant. Terpenes are what give cannabis its distinct aromas and have been utilized by humans for millennia in aromatherapy. Terpenes are recognized as safe for human consumption by the Food and Drug Association and are used in a wide variety of food and cosmetic products.
A CBD tincture is a preparation made from CBD extract. It is used orally (swallowed) and can also be used in cooking or baking. Our tinctures do not contain alcohol (alcohol FREE), although many traditional tinctures do.
CBD is non-toxic. We have never heard of anyone overdosing on CBD. However, extremely large servings of CBD may cause drowsiness.
Passion Brands offers some of the most potent CBD products available. However, the amount of CBD in Passion CBD products varies from product to product. Please refer to the product label for exact concentrations of CBD in each product.
The ideal serving size of CBD for each person depends on a wide range of variables. It also depends on the product. Servings of 5 to 50 milligrams per day are commonly reported for health maintenance and minor issues.
CBD can be taken multiple times each day, or at particular times of day, depending on the reason it is being used.
CBD is not known to have any negative side effects. However, large servings of CBD may cause drowsiness. If your intention is to remain alert, this may be considered an unwanted side effect and therefore large servings should be avoided.
No. CBD is not a drug. You will not be required to produce a medical marijuana card in order to purchase CBD online. However, some states have laws allowing doctors to recommend CBD to patients for particular conditions.
No. Unlike marijuana and THC, CBD is non-psychotropic and is extremely unlikely to cause a high.
CBD itself does not have an expiration date. However, CBD oil products can degrade and should be used within a certain period of time. They should be stored in airtight containers either in the refrigerator or in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Please refer to the product expiration dates for more information.
We highly recommend either refrigerating CBD products or storing them in a cool place. Always keep CBD products in airtight containers and store them away from direct sunlight and heat, which can degrade certain compounds in CBD oil.
Under normal circumstances, our products are not expected to produce a positive result for THC consumption through testing conducted using industry-standard sophisticated testing methods. Passion Brands can not, and does not, represent or warrant as to the results that any individual may experience, and advises you to consider the risks of incorrect detection prior to use of this product.

Because of its ability to help support the body’s effort to maintain homeostasis, CBD is often used by those who don’t have any specific concerns.
Much more research needs to be done in this area. If you are taking prescription medications, consult with a qualified medical professional.
In some cases, such as when using a vaporizer or tincture, users often report almost immediate results. However, most of the effects of CBD are subtle and take some time to be detectable — usually half an hour or more. Personal results will vary.
All Passion Brands products contain broad spectrum CBD oil produced by a gentle extraction method. This retains the beneficial compounds produced by the cannabis plant. We do not use any harsh solvents in our extraction process. We encourage you to read about Our Process.
Industrial hemp is like any other crop. It is farmed all over the world, including approximately 40 U.S. states. The special strain of hemp used to produce Passion Brands products is grown in the USA.
Passion Brands hemp is grown using natural methods and our products contain other organic ingredients. All of Passion CBD products are vegan friendly except for the softgels and salve. We are hoping to introduce a softgel in the future that will be 100% vegan.
Yes. All Passion Brands CBD products are gluten free.
Yes, high-quality CBD is safe for pets. Most customers use our dog treats for dogs and our plain tinctures for other pets. We do recommend that you consult with a veterinarian who is familiar with your pet and knowledgeable in the use of CBD oil in pet health.
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.
Broad spectrum CBD oil, such as that used in Passion Brands products, contains a variety of cannabinoids and terpenes as well as other beneficial compounds. Each of the compounds has particular effects on the human body. Because terpenes can affect how the body responds to cannabinoids, the combined effect is often greater than the sum of the individual effects. The overall effect produced is known as the entourage effect. Non-broad or full spectrum products do not have the benefit of the entourage effect and are therefore not recommended.
In its natural state, CBD oil is not water soluble. However, Passion Brands softgels are made using a patented process which encapsulates the CBD oil into nano-sized emulsion particles that are water soluble, allowing the CBD oil to be more easily absorbed. Our dog treats also contain a water-soluble hemp extract powder.
The ideal method for taking CBD depends on the reason for which it’s being taken as well as your preference for its format. If using CBD oil for general wellness, tinctures or capsules are recommended. However, gummies might be preferred for their flavor and ease of use — it might take a couple of tries to find the perfect product for you.
Passion Brands products are specifically developed for high potency and easy absorption. All of our products contain THC-free, broad spectrum CBD oil. We also use a patented nanoemulsion method to make our CBD softgels water soluble, resulting in a higher bioavailability than standard products. This means more of the CBD gets put to use by your body.
Our CBD oil is extracted using a gentle process that does not involve harsh solvents that can degrade beneficial compounds. We use only the finest available ingredients in our products and make sure they’re organic whenever possible.
