Frequently Asked Questions

1. What sets Bluegrass Hemp Oil products apart, and why are they more expensive?

Answer:
Bluegrass Hemp Oil is committed to quality from seed to shelf. We use only organically grown, Kentuky grown hemp, full-spectrum extraction methods. Genesis Blend CBD oil contains more cannabinoids and terpinods than any other brand on the market.  Each product undergoes comprehensive third-party testing, ensuring purity and potency. While this level of care, transparency, and meticulous craftsmanship does result in a higher price, it also means you receive a product that delivers consistent, reliable benefits without compromise. It is the highest quality most affordable full spectrum CBD oil on the market. 

2. How is your hemp grown and harvested?

Answer:
Our hemp is cultivated using sustainable, farming practices—no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. We time our harvests to capture peak cannabinoid and terpene levels. Once harvested, the plants are gently processed to safeguard these delicate compounds. By honoring both the land and the plant, we preserve the purity and potency that define our premium extracts.

3. What exactly is full-spectrum CBD oil, and how does it differ from broad-spectrum or isolate?

Answer:

• Full-spectrum CBD oil: Retains the full range of cannabinoids (including trace THC below 0.3%), terpenes, flavonoids, and other beneficial hemp compounds. This synergy—often called the “entourage effect”—may enhance overall benefits.
• Broad-spectrum CBD oil: Includes multiple cannabinoids and terpenes but removes THC.
• CBD isolate: Contains only cannabidiol (CBD), stripped of all other plant compounds.
  Our philosophy favors the holistic approach of full-spectrum oil, as scientific studies suggest it may be more effective than isolated cannabinoids.

4. Will I get “high” from full-spectrum CBD oil with trace THC?

Answer:
No. Our products contain less than 0.3% THC, per federal guidelines, which is not enough to produce a psychoactive effect. The small amount of THC works in tandem with other cannabinoids to enhance benefits without causing impairment.

5. How should I determine my ideal serving size?

Answer:
Finding your personal “sweet spot” involves start low, go slow. Begin with a conservative amount—around 10–20 mg of CBD once or twice daily—and observe how your body reacts over a week. Adjust incrementally if necessary. Factors like body weight, metabolism, and health goals can affect how much CBD you need. Always consult a healthcare professional if you’re on prescription medications or have underlying medical conditions.

6. What is the extraction method, and why does it matter?

Answer:
We use a low-temperature, solvent-free extraction process designed to preserve as many beneficial compounds as possible. This gentle technique avoids harsh chemicals, ensuring that our full-spectrum oil maintains its robust cannabinoid and terpene profile. Some cheaper brands rely on aggressive solvents or high-heat methods that can degrade the plant’s delicate compounds—leading to a less effective final product.

7. What do third-party lab tests include, and where can I find them?

Answer:
Each batch is tested for:

• Cannabinoid potency: CBD, THC, and other key compounds
• Terpenes: Identification of the aroma and flavor profile
• Contaminants: Heavy metals, pesticides, residual solvents, and microbial presence
  We share Certificates of Analysis (COAs) on our website so you can review these results for every product, guaranteeing transparency and peace of mind.

8. Are your products safe for pets?

Answer:
Yes, with proper formulation and dosing. We offer pet-specific CBD oil designed for animals’ unique metabolisms and body sizes. These formulas use full-spectrum hemp extracts at concentrations safe for most pets. If your pet takes other medications or has health issues, consult your veterinarian for personalized advice.

9. How long does it typically take to notice effects?

Answer:
Effects vary by individual and method of use. Sublingual (under the tongue) administration may produce noticeable effects within 15–45 minutes, while ingestion (in foods or beverages) can take up to an hour or more. Consistent daily use often yields more cumulative benefits over time, like improved stress management, sleep quality, or general well-being.

10. Can your products cause a failed drug test?

Answer:
While uncommon, full-spectrum products do contain trace THC, which can show up on highly sensitive tests. If you’re subject to stringent drug testing, consider discussing options with your employer or healthcare provider. Some users choose broad-spectrum or isolates to minimize any THC exposure altogether.

11. Why avoid synthetic cannabinoids?

Answer:
Synthetic cannabinoids are chemically engineered to mimic naturally occurring cannabinoids but often lack the safety profile of plant-derived compounds. These products have been associated with severe, sometimes dangerous side effects. Our full-spectrum, plant-based extracts provide a well-researched alternative, harnessing the natural synergy of hemp’s cannabinoids and terpenes.

12. Do I need a prescription to buy Bluegrass Hemp Oil products?

Answer:
No. Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived CBD with less than 0.3% THC is federally legal and available without a prescription. Regulations can differ by state and country, so confirm local laws to ensure compliance.

13. What is the shelf life, and how should I store CBD oil?

Answer:
Our premium oils generally stay fresh and potent for 18–24 months when stored properly. Keep them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Close the bottle tightly after each use to minimize air exposure. Refrigeration is optional but can prolong potency.

14. Are there side effects or interactions with other medications?

Answer:
Most users tolerate CBD well, but possible side effects include mild drowsiness, changes in appetite, or digestive upset. If you are on medication that carries a “grapefruit warning”, be aware that CBD may similarly affect those metabolic pathways. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.

15. Does Bluegrass Hemp Oil give back to the community?

Answer:
We’re proud of our philanthropic efforts and community engagement. From supporting local farmers to donating a portion of proceeds to wellness-focused charities, we believe in uplifting our neighbors and promoting a healthier world—one bottle at a time.

16. Do you offer any deals, subscriptions, or loyalty rewards?

Answer:
Yes! In addition to occasional promotional offers, we provide subscription plans for regular shipments at a reduced rate. We also have a loyalty rewards program where each purchase earns points redeemable for discounts, exclusive product releases, or merchandise.

17. Can I travel with my CBD oil?

Answer:
Domestic travel typically isn’t an issue if your product remains within federal guidelines (<0.3% THC). For international travel, however, regulations vary widely. Always check the destination country’s laws and airline rules before flying with CBD.

18. How do I use your CBD oil in recipes or daily routines?

Answer:
Our oils blend easily into smoothies, coffee, dressings, or baked goods—just be mindful of heat, as extreme temperatures can degrade some cannabinoids and terpenes. You can also use them sublingually by placing drops under your tongue for faster absorption. Experiment with what works best for your lifestyle and taste.
