Follow The Yellow Brick Road To CBD In Kansas

Ah, Kansas, where the deer and the antelope play. Kansas, the state often associated with cyclones, yellow brick roads, Dorothy and Toto (the dog, not the band) is not necessarily known for its progressive policies on CBD. But you may be surprised to learn of some of the positive changes that have taken place with regard to CBD in the past couple of years.

Is CBD Legal in Kansas?

While Kansas has been slower than other states to adopt the legalization of CBD, it is now currently one of the states where CBD is legal, with exceptions. The federal government legalized the industrial hemp industry with the federal farm bill in 2014, but Kansas waited until 2018 to sign their senate bill, SB 282, which legalized all CBD products derived from the industrial hemp plant. In Kansas, hemp-derived CBD must be below .03% in THC content and can be purchased by consumers over the age of eighteen from shops all over the state.

On April 15, 2019, Kansas Governor Laura Kelly signed House Bill 2167, which establishes the state’s Commercial Industrial Hemp Program.

CBD with THC?

There are thirty states that currently allow medical marijuana, but the Kansas house voted against it in 2018. According to Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, who issued a formal opinion during the opening weeks of the legislative session in 2018, any form of marijuana is against the law in Kansas, even if it can’t get you high.

However, In 2019, HB 2244 was signed into law, permitting the use of CBD that contains up to 5% THC to treat “debilitating medical conditions,” which means “a chronic or debilitating disease or medical condition, including one that produces seizures, for which the patient is under treatment by a licensed physician.”

So, keep your eyes on Kansas. While the laws are currently quite restrictive, the state has come around to embrace hemp-derived CBD oil and the industrial hemp industry, so there may be continued progress in the future!

Buying CBD Online

CBD products sold online run the gamut and include tinctures, lotions & creams, edibles like gummies, capsules, coffees and teas, and even skincare, beauty products and pet care. Most experts agree that the Farm Bill makes it clear that consumers can legally buy these products if they’re made from low- or zero-THC hemp. If the CBD product is hemp-derived, there is very little risk for consumers when purchasing CBD online.

What is Hemp-Derived CBD?

Both marijuana plants, cannabis and hemp, produce cannabidiol (CBD). The CBD molecule is the same in both cannabis sources. However, from a legal perspective, CBD products derived from hemp and CBD products derived from cannabis are entirely different.

Hemp-Derived Cannabidiol (CBD) is a plant-derived compound from Cannabis sativa, the species of plant that includes both hemp and marijuana, but from different plant varieties or cultivars. CBD is the primary non-psychoactive compound in cannabis, whereas tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is cannabis’s primary psychoactive compound. CBD is classified based on its level of THC and plant origin.

Cannabis contains a richer source of cannabinoids and terpenes than industrial hemp because it contains more resin. Resin is the sticky substance found on female cannabis flowers, and to a lesser extent, on its leaves. Hemp plants contain resin on the flowers and leaves too, but much less.

Hemp-Derived CBD vs. Hemp Seed Oil

You might be curious about the difference between hemp-derived CBD oil and hemp seed oil. SeraLabs CEO and founder, Nancy Duitch says, “…there are no health benefits from hemp seed oil at all. You are just as well off drinking a bottle of virgin olive oil… It’s very critical that you look at the back of the bottle and see if it says ‘cannabidiol’ on it.” It’s imperative that you check to see that the CBD is made with high quality ingredients.

What Dose is Right For Me?

Everyone wants to experience the benefits of CBD but finding the right dose can be a challenge. No one’s tolerance is exactly the same because everyone’s endocannabinoid system is a little bit different. We recommend starting with a low dose, 1 dropper, of CBD oil and working your way up to a higher dose if you don’t see results. SeraLabs offers a wide range of CBD oil tinctures from 400mg – 1,000mg. Often the best way to see the effects of CBD is to use the products regularly and then stop. People often report that they notice the effects upon stopping treatment. Remember it’s not about what you’re feeling, it’s about what you’re not feeling!
