Q. Is it possible to fail a drugs test by taking CBD and will it make me feel high?

No, all Mogwai CBD tincture oils contain whole plant oil derived from low-THC cannabis (Hemp). This means that the strain of hemp used, preserves the natural balance of compounds (also known as cannabinoids) from the plant – think of our oil as an untouched plant in a bottle, nothing taken out.

UK government guidelines currently state that each preparation/container should contain no more than 1mg THC. To ensure compliance Mogwai CBD batch tests to ensure that the cannabinoid content adheres to these guidelines.

You can rest assured that you will not fail a drugs test or get high from our products.

Q. Is CBD Legal in the UK?

Absolutely, all of our products* are 100% safe and legal to consume. They are manufactured here in the United Kingdom and adhere to current government legislation.

*An exempt product under the misuse of drugs regulation 2001.

Q. What is the difference between Full Spectrum / Broad Spectrum / CBD Isolate

Full spectrum – is produced using the whole plant and contains all compounds that naturally occur in the cannabis plant, including terpenes*. It also contains THC in trace amounts within UK guidelines and can be classed as THC free as long as the product contains no more than the 1mg per preparation/container. As stated on a previous question think of our oil as a plant in a bottle, unaltered and nothing taken out, just natural pure goodness.

*Terpenes are the natural smells and flavours produced by the cannabis plant and are unique to a particular strain.

In some cases, there are products that are full spectrum oils but can contain cannabinoids such as THC above the legal limits in the UK. It is advisable to download the laboratory reports for the product you are purchasing to ensure the THC levels are below 1mg.

Broad Spectrum – is a whole plant oil where THC and/or other selected cannabinoids have been completely or partially removed allowing for all other cannabinoids to remain present.

CBD Isolate – this is exactly what it states, isolated CBD. All of the compounds have been removed leaving only the extracted CBD (Cannabidiol). Whilst it is a highly active compound, recent studies are proving that having a whole plant oil containing all cannabinoids is far more beneficial.

Q. How can CBD help me?

Current government legislation defines CBD as a food supplement, this means that no medical claims may be made concerning benefits derived from the daily use of CBD whole plant oils.

An ever increasing number of articles, blogs, forums and information pieces’ surround this highly topical subject can readily be found in the media, particularly on the internet. We have found websites like www.cbdcentral.com or www.projectcbd.org are very useful sources of information.

Q. What is ‘The Entourage Effect “?

The combined consumption of various cannabinoids and terpenes* offers benefits that are superior to taking a single cannabinoid in isolation. The cannabinoids act in harmony with each other – synergistically increasing the overall effect.

*Terpenes are the natural smells and flavours produced by the cannabis plant and are unique to a particular strain.

All Mogwai CBD products contain whole plant oil from low-THC grown cannabis (hemp) that not only contains CBD but also preserves the natural balance of compounds (otherwise known as cannabinoids) from the plant, ensuring delivery of the “The Entourage Effect” in every drop.

Q. What strength CBD tincture oil do I start on?

CBD is initially recommended in low daily doses, gradually increasing up to a maximum, currently set at 200mg CBD per day.

The motto is start low, go slow. If you are small build and normal weight, we recommend starting on 250mg strength. If you are average build and normal weight, then a 500mg strength would be more suited. Start with a few drops (3-5) in the morning and a few drops in the evening before bed. Monitor how you feel over a period of 2-4 weeks and if necessary increase the strength by including a lunchtime dose.

We have 4 strengths to progress through, it may take some time to find what is called your sweet spot, the key is to be patient and consistent.

Give this a try:

When you are about to begin your CBD journey to wellness we always recommend that you score what concerns you out of 10 and begin taking 3 drops in the morning and 3 drops at night.

After 3 – 4 weeks, find your score sheet and hide your scores (no cheating) and answer the same questions again and once done, compare your original score to your new one and you will be able to judge if you’ve found an improvement.

If the scores are going down by one or two, then increase your daily drops to include a lunchtime dose (3 drops) or increase your morning and night ritual and repeat the scoring method until you get to the point where scores of the things that concern you start to drop. This can take time but once you have found it, you will achieve balance in your endocannabinoid system (ECS). This is called homeostasis which is the ability for your body to heal itself.
