CBD Product Disclaimer:
Thank you for choosing our CBD products. We would like to provide you with important information to ensure that you have a clear understanding of the nature and potential risks associated with CBD consumption. Please read the following statement carefully:
1. Nature of CBD and Cannabis Compounds:
Our products contain cannabidiol (CBD), a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant. Cannabis is a member of the Cannabaceae family and contains numerous biologically active chemicals, including delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and CBD. It is important to note that CBD is distinct from THC and does not produce the psychoactive effects commonly associated with marijuana use.
2. FDA Approval and Legal Status:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a specific CBD prescription drug for the treatment of certain conditions. However, most CBD products, including those available for purchase here, have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or proper dosage. It is currently illegal to market CBD as a food additive or label it as a dietary supplement.
3. Potential Health Risks and Unknowns:
CBD has been associated with potential health risks that you should be aware of before using our products. Some of these risks include liver injury, potential interactions with other medications, sedation, drowsiness when used with alcohol or certain drugs, and male reproductive toxicity as observed in animal studies.
4. Known Side Effects:
CBD consumption can lead to side effects such as changes in alertness (drowsiness), gastrointestinal distress (diarrhea and decreased appetite), and changes in mood (irritability and agitation). These side effects should improve upon discontinuing CBD use or reducing the dosage.
5. Medical Claims and Quality:
Products containing CBD have not been evaluated by the FDA for their effectiveness, safety, proper dosage, potential interactions, or potential side effects. Consumers of CBD products should always consult their doctor before use and should not delay in seeking proper medical care.
6. Quality and Contaminant Concerns:
The quality of many CBD products may be questionable, and the FDA has found instances where the actual CBD content did not match the labeled amount. The CBD content of products sold on this website is tested by SC Labs (formerly Botanacor). Lakeland Hemp, LLC relies on the accuracy of SC Labs reports, and each product sold contains a batch ID number associated with specific lab tests. Consumers should review the product batch ID number and corresponding lab report prior to purchase.
7. Use in Animals:
CBD products marketed for pets and animals have not been approved by the FDA and may pose similar risks and uncertainties. Consult your veterinarian before using CBD products for your pets. Furthermore, the products sold on this website are not recommended for use on pets.
8. FDA Regulatory Framework:
The FDA is actively evaluating the regulatory frameworks for products containing cannabis-derived compounds like CBD. The agency is committed to ensuring the safety and effectiveness of such products through rigorous scientific evaluation. Lakeland Hemp, LLC reviews changes to FDA regulations on a regular basis. However, some information may not be up-to-date; therefore consumers should always refer to fda.gov for the most up-to-date information relating to CBD product regulations and safety.
9. Informed Choices and FDA Updates:
We encourage you to make informed choices when using CBD products and to stay updated with FDA announcements regarding CBD safety, regulations, and potential risks.
10. Consultation with Healthcare Professionals:
Before using any CBD product, especially if you have underlying health conditions, are taking medications, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, we strongly recommend consulting with a qualified healthcare professional.
