What does Full-Spectrum mean?

Think about Full-Spectrum as the difference between whole fruits and vegetables vs. taking a multivitamin. While a vitamin, which contains specifically isolated healthy compounds, can support a healthy diet, there is no substitute for eating an entire fruit or vegetable. When you consume whole foods, you receive multiple health benefits including fiber and antioxidants.

Full-Spectrum Hemp Oil extracts are just like that, they are extractions that preserve the wide range of beneficial compounds in the hemp plant. This includes not just CBD, but other compounds like CBN, CBG, and even a miniscule amount of THC (completely legal if under .3%). This also means the extract contains terpenes (volatile oils) which are means to be consumed in conjunction with these cannabinoids for maximum healing benefits. If you are looking for a fully THC-free product, you should seek out companies that sell ‘CBD Isolate'.

At Small Farma, we believe in staying as true as possible to the hemp plant in its natural form and that includes preserving a wide spectrum of the plant compounds when preparing our products.

Do you use third-party lab testing?

Yes. Please see the Lab Results tab of our website for more information or contact us directly. All of our products are made in small batches, kind of like a specialty brewery, so we regularly get new tests done to ensure quality and consistency.

Is Hemp Oil Legal?

Our products meet the legal requirement of .3% THC or less.

Hemp oil is safe, legal and non-addictive. We pay careful attention to federal regulations requiring that Hemp oil based products contain .3% THC or less. We use third party lab testing to stay on top of exactly what is inside your bottle. Hemp oil is the healthy active “cannabinoid” found in the hemp plant and it has no intoxicating effects on the brain or body.

What sets us apart?

You can trust us. We started this work because we wanted access to plant medicine without wasting money and time sorting through artificial ingredients, fillers, irresponsible growing practices and potencies. Every batch is made by hand and kept as close to nature as possible, with complete transparency about what is in the bottle. We keep it simple and effective as we try to honor what these incredible plants have to offer.

We are passionate about our hemp oil and want only the best for our bodies and for yours. We source from the best makers in New England, because we believe that a hyper local approach ensures that you get the most benefit from the plant. Terpenes are the naturally fragrant botanical oils that are preserved in our unique extraction process. By preserving the rich terpene profile of the plant, you have access to the entire spectrum of benefits that nature originally intended. That means additional natural anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-cancer properties.

What are the benefits?

Hemp Oil is a wonderful way to have access to all of the health benefits of the hemp plant without feeling ‘high.’ We believe in bringing you products that can be taken orally or applied topically, because emotional and physical health are so closely intertwined and are equally as important for overall well-being.

CBD may help to:

  • maintain optimal health by creating balance within the body

  • maintain physical and mental well-being

  • maintain normal emotional balance and a sense of relaxation

    relieve issues associated with normal exercise and daily activity

  • support skin health

Our products are derived from legal hemp plants and are intended to be thoughtfully incorporated into your diet and wellness routines. We understand that it takes a multi-faceted approach to maintain wellness. Those who think they might have a disease or are seeking help for a particular disease should consult a qualified medical professional.

How Much Should I Take?

The real answer is: it depends. Each person is different and even then we change from day to day. We suggest starting low and going slow, meaning take a few drops and see how you feel. Generally speaking, if you are looking for everyday health maintenance then anywhere from 2-10mg might work for you. If you are going through a particularly stressful time or have bouts of anxiety then 25-50mg might work better for you. Folks who have chronic pain or illness will likely use therapeutic doses upwards of 150mg. We encourage you to experiment and pay attention to your body and how it reacts to the substances you are using. Some days might be a 5mg day and others a 25mg day. Keep in touch and let us know what works for you, we love hearing your stories and being able to share with the community what has been working.

Will Hemp Oil get me high?

Hemp oil is not intoxicating and will not get you ‘high’ like a product high in THC. You may feel relaxation, a mood boost or a reduction in pain.
