CBD, THC & Hemp FAQs

CBD stands for cannabidiol. It is one of many naturally occurring cannabinoids found in Cannabis sativa, including hemp.

Unlike THC, CBD itself is not intoxicating and does not produce the “high” associated with THC.

Research into CBD continues, but most consumer CBD products have not been evaluated or approved by the FDA to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.

CBD itself is not considered intoxicating. However, some CBD products — particularly full-spectrum products — can contain small amounts of THC.

Check the product label and Certificate of Analysis so you know which cannabinoids are present.

It depends on the product. Full-spectrum CBD products can contain naturally occurring trace amounts of THC along with CBD and other hemp compounds.

CBD isolate is processed differently and is intended to contain CBD without the broader cannabinoid profile found in full-spectrum extract.

Full-spectrum hemp extract contains CBD along with other naturally occurring compounds from the hemp plant. Depending on the product, that can include additional cannabinoids and trace amounts of THC.

Hemp-derived CBD has operated under the federal hemp framework established by the 2018 Farm Bill, but federal and state rules governing finished CBD products are more complicated than simply saying all CBD is legal everywhere.

Federal hemp law is also scheduled to change on November 12, 2026. The new definition may affect some full-spectrum CBD products that contain THC even when CBD is the primary cannabinoid.

Product availability can also depend on state and local law.

Door County Cannabis Co. began with hemp grown on our Wisconsin farm in Door County. Our roots are here, and Wisconsin agriculture remains central to who we are.

Ingredients and sourcing can vary by product and production run, so refer to the individual product information or contact us if you have a sourcing question about a specific product.

Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol — usually shortened to Delta-9 THC — is a naturally occurring cannabinoid in Cannabis sativa and is the primary cannabinoid associated with cannabis intoxication.

Hemp-derived Delta-9 and marijuana-derived Delta-9 are the same cannabinoid. The distinction has historically involved the source of the product and the legal standards governing hemp.

Delta-8 THC is a psychoactive cannabinoid related to Delta-9 THC. It occurs naturally in cannabis in very small quantities, although commercial Delta-8 products are often produced through processing of hemp-derived cannabinoids.

Delta-8 can cause intoxication and should be treated as an intoxicating THC product.

Both are forms of THC and both can be intoxicating.

Many consumers describe Delta-8 as producing a less intense experience than an equivalent amount of Delta-9, but individual responses vary considerably.

Product formulation, serving size, tolerance, metabolism, food intake, and other factors can all influence the experience.

Under the federal hemp framework currently in effect, hemp-derived products have generally been distinguished from marijuana based on the federal definition of hemp.

That definition changes on November 12, 2026. Under the enacted new standard, many final cannabinoid products containing more than 0.4 milligrams of combined total THC and specified similar-effect cannabinoids per container will no longer fall within the federal definition of hemp.

State laws can impose additional restrictions, so legality and product availability can vary by location.

Edible THC does not take effect immediately. Effects may take 30 minutes to two hours or longer to become noticeable.

Avoid taking additional THC simply because you do not feel the first serving right away.

Edible THC effects can last for several hours, and the duration varies from person to person.

Serving size, tolerance, metabolism, food intake, and the particular product can all influence how long the effects are noticeable.

There is no universal serving amount for CBD or THC. Follow the serving information on the specific product you're using.

With intoxicating THC products, a cautious approach is to begin with a small serving and wait long enough to understand its effects before considering more.

If you have questions related to medications or a health condition, talk with a qualified healthcare professional.

Check the product label for the total amount of CBD in the bottle and the serving information for that particular tincture.

Concentrations can differ between products, so don't assume one dropper from one tincture contains the same amount of CBD as another.

Store hemp products in a cool, dry place away from excessive heat and direct sunlight. Keep the container closed when not in use and follow any product-specific storage directions on the package.

Always keep cannabinoid products securely stored away from children and pets.

We believe cannabinoid products should come with transparency. Our lab reports provide independent testing information for our products, including cannabinoid potency and other testing information where applicable.

Yes. CBD can interact with certain medications, and cannabinoids may affect people differently depending on medications, health conditions, and other factors.

If you take prescription medications or have questions about whether a cannabinoid product is appropriate for you, speak with your physician or pharmacist before using it.

They can. Reported effects associated with CBD can include changes in alertness, gastrointestinal discomfort, changes in appetite, and interactions with other medications.

THC can impair coordination, judgment, reaction time, and perception and may produce other unwanted effects.

No. Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform activities requiring unimpaired coordination and judgment while under the influence of THC.

The FDA strongly advises against using CBD, THC, or marijuana in any form during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Talk with your healthcare professional if you have questions about cannabinoid use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Yes. Products containing THC — including full-spectrum CBD products with trace THC — may result in a positive drug test.

If you are subject to workplace, athletic, military, or other drug testing, consider that risk before using any cannabinoid product. No cannabinoid product should be assumed to be guaranteed “drug-test safe.”

Keep all cannabinoid products securely stored and completely out of reach of children and animals. Gummies and other edibles can be especially easy to mistake for ordinary food or candy.

If a child or pet accidentally consumes a THC product, contact an appropriate medical or veterinary professional promptly.

Yes. Independent laboratory testing is an important part of our approach to product transparency. Available Certificates of Analysis let you review testing information associated with our products.

You can shop available products through our website and find select Door County Cannabis products at participating Wisconsin retailers.

Availability changes, so contact us if you're looking for a particular product or local retailer.

No. Hemp and cannabinoid laws vary by state and can change. We may restrict shipping of certain products to locations where sale or delivery is prohibited or presents regulatory concerns.

Availability at checkout does not override applicable local, state, or federal law.

No. We currently sell and ship within the United States where permitted.

Yes. We can explain the differences between our products, cannabinoid content, formats, serving information, and lab results so you can make an informed choice.

We can't diagnose a condition or prescribe a cannabinoid product as medical treatment.
