Frequently Asked Questions

What is CBD?

CBD, or Cannabidiol, is a single cannabinoid found to reside in the Cannabis plant; there are over a hundred more cannabinoids with similar names like tetrahydrocannabinol-THC or Cannabichromene-CBC. A cannabinoid is a type of chemical that reacts with an assigned receptor in the brain called, cleverly enough, a cannabinoid receptor. Cannabinoid receptors were discovered in 1988, and so the science behind them is still just beginning to be understood. What we do know is that each and every cannabinoid has some sort of an effect on the body, the science behind what precisely those effects are is developing all the time, so the Upstate Elevator Supply Co. heartily recommends that you do a bit of independent research into the subject.

Do your products contain THC?

All of Upstate’s products are third party tested for purity and potency, and none of our products contain more than the federal legal limit of .3% THC. Some of our products are made with CBD Isolate and contain no THC whatsoever such as the 1000mg THC Free Tincture and the 500mg Organic CBD Gummy.

How do I best use CBD?

CBD can be applied topically, sublingually, inhaled, swallowed, or sipped; we are constantly discovering new methods of production and consumption. Take a capsule with breakfast, put a few drops of our tincture in your morning tea, or munch on a delicious gummy or chocolate at lunch.

Will CBD help me if I’m already healthy?

We can’t make any health claims as we aren’t doctors. But if you do your own research, you will see that in addition to CBD, hemp extracts contains a range of beneficial nutrients and plant constituents like terpenes, phytocannabinoids and other phytonutrients that can play a role in helping the body to maintain homeostasis. Many of our customers use CBD as a daily dietary supplement.

Is CBD psychoactive and will it make you high?

CBD does not make people feel “high” and can even counteract the psychoactivity of THC. Nothing we sell contains enough of the psychoactive cannabinoid THC to have an intoxicating effect, so long as you follow the recommended dosage.
