Q: What is CBD?
A: CBD, or cannabidiol, is a natural compound found in the hemp plant. It is non-psychoactive and is commonly used for its potential therapeutic benefits, such as reducing anxiety, managing pain, and addressing inflammation. Avaloo offers a variety of CBD products, including oils, topicals, and edibles, to suit your specific wellness needs.
Q: Is CBD legal in Georgia?
A: Yes, CBD derived from hemp containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC is legal in Georgia and across the U.S. However, state laws vary, so it’s essential to stay informed about local regulations. In Georgia, all consumable hemp products must meet specific labeling and testing standards to ensure compliance with the law.
Q: How do I use CBD products?
A: The method of use varies based on the product. CBD oils can be taken sublingually (under the tongue), while CBD creams and lotions are applied directly to the skin. CBD edibles, such as gummies, are consumed like food. Follow product instructions and consult with a healthcare provider if needed.
Q: What are the benefits of CBD?
A: Research suggests CBD may help with issues like anxiety, pain, and sleep disorders, though individual results can vary. While more studies are needed, many users report relief from using CBD products as part of their wellness routine.
Q: Are there any side effects?
A: While generally well-tolerated, CBD can cause side effects such as dry mouth, fatigue, or changes in appetite. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before using CBD.
Q: What is Delta-8 THC?
A: Delta-8 THC is a minor cannabinoid found in hemp. It produces a milder “high” compared to Delta-9 THC, which is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. Delta-8 products may provide users with relaxation without the intense effects often associated with Delta-9 THC.
Q: What is SB 494, and how will it affect hemp sales in Georgia?
A: Effective October 1, 2024, SB 494 introduces stricter regulations for hemp products sold in Georgia. It requires comprehensive testing for THC content, including both Delta-9 THC and Delta-9 THCA, which may effectively eliminate the sale of THCA flower. Additionally, the sale of hemp flower and leaves will be banned, although extracts and derivatives will remain legal. The bill also mandates new licensing requirements for manufacturers, retailers, and laboratories. Avaloo will continue our standard of strict adherence to Georgia state and federal laws and regulations.
Q: What is the difference between Delta-9 THC and Delta-9 THCA?
A: Delta-9 THC is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. Delta-9 THCA is the non-psychoactive precursor that converts to Delta-9 THC when heated (decarboxylated). Under SB 494, products sold in Georgia must contain a combined concentration of less than 0.3% of both Delta-9 THC and Delta-9 THCA
