Frequently Asked Questions

• Is your product full spectrum

  Full spectrum is now the baseline for a decent CBD oil; but why have some of what the plant has to offer, when you can have it all?  That is why we maintain the total chemical profile of the plant in our oil.  This means that we leave everything available from the hemp plant- chlorophyll, terpenes, flavonoids and all the cannabinoids. We do not fully decarboxylate so you get the raw, or acid forms, of the cannabinoids. The benefit of this solventless process ensures that our oil leaves nothing out of the vast array of beneficial properties of the hemp plant. This supports more information being sent to the endocannabinoid system, ensuring a more complete entourage effect.

• How do you take our product

  Our product can be taken sublingually or applied topically. Always shake well. A quarter of a dropper or less under the tongue. Hold for 10 to 30 seconds then swallow. If used topically it can be directly applied to the skin We can’t recommend a specific dose.  Dosing is body dependent, so it your place to discover what your body needs. Start low and go slow.

• Why did you choose the name Bethesda Hemp

  The name Bethesda comes from the Aramaic term meaning House of Mercy. It was a pool of water that was said to have healing properties in Jerusalem. We chose that name because we thought the hemp plant in an oil form represents a pool of wellness. We fully accept this plant as a gift and we hope you will experience this gift as well.

• How is your product a good value

  This product is an excellent value as a natural hemp oil that contains 1000+mg of phyto-cannabinoid content. Our product contains all organic hemp and organic oils.  For many, one bottle can last anywhere between 2-5 months.  The price is cost effective for the customer in the long term. Usually even cheaper than the price of a good monthly vitamin.

• How long will this last

  This depends on what your body requires and frequency of use. We have many people that find a  bottle to last between 2-5 months.

   

• Will this get me high

  Legal hemp products can contain the THC limit of 0.3% or less as required by law. This is not enough to create a psychoactive effect. CBD, the main cannabinoid within the hemp flower, may even counteract the effects of THC.

• Are you third-party lab tested

  Yes, we aim to be transparent. Our COA for the lot can be accessed by the QR codes on the bottle. QR codes will have lot number and expiration dates as well.

• Do you know the source of your hemp

  Yes, our farmers use organic methods for growing in clean soil. We’ve established a great working relationship and friendship with them over these past few years. We are currently working with local NC farmers as well, and hoping that we will be offering more strains soon.

• Is your hemp organically grown

  Yes, we won’t source our hemp from any farmer who does not have organically grown hemp.  The oils we use are organic as well.

• What does it taste like

  Our product is whole and natural. The taste is earthy and bitter. While many absolutely love the taste of our product, some will want to know how to make it taste better. One can add honey, mango, or fill a vegetable cap to swallow. Honey and mango have been known to enhance the entourage effect.

• My dropper is stopped up

  Lucky you, you are getting some plant matter in your product. This is all part of keeping a whole, total chemical profile product. Just suck it out. Remove the glass dropper, run under warm water and replace dropper into lid.  Always shake well before taking.

• Will I pass a drug test if I take this

  Please speak with your employer as you would be taking a perfectly legal substance. Because there are only trace amounts of THC in the product a majority of people may pass a drug test. Please consider that CBD can trigger a false positive on some drug screens. We can not guarantee that if you use this product you will pass a drug test. Our product does contain trace amounts of THC which are well within legal limits. If you use this product knowing you could potentially be drug tested, you are assuming the responsibility if you lose your job or violate a court order.
