'Can CBD get you high?' It's a question CBD beginners ask us all the time, and the myth actually stems from CBD’s plant-based origins. But – spoiler alert – we can tell you now that CBD won't get you high. Keep reading to find out why, plus discover what really goes into your CBD oils and CBD gummies...

Will CBD Make Me Feel High?
In short: no. CBD has no intoxicating effects, but any myth that it might usually comes from confusion around its plant-based beginnings. Because CBD is extracted from hemp plants, some wonder if it could produce the same ‘high' that's sometimes associated with cannabis.
However, CBD is just one of over 100 plant compounds known as cannabinoids found in the hemp plan and it's actually a different compound in cannabis, called THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is responsible for creating cannabis' psychoactive effects.
Not only does hemp produce very low levels of this THC compound (we're talking tiny trace amounts), but it is also filtered out further during the CBD extraction process. This is why your favourite Cannaray CBD products can not and will not make you feel ‘high'.
Just to give you even more reassurance: In the UK, the legal limit on the amounts of THC in CBD is 0.03%. This is a very small amount that you would not be able to feel any effects from. Because we believe in giving you that extra confidence in the products you use, we go the extra mile at Cannaray to ensure all of our CBD oils, CBD capsules, CBD gummies and CBD topicals are THC-free. This means that the percentage of THC in our products is below detectable levels by lab equipment, where the threshold is 0.005%. They even go through further tests by independent third-party labs, which guarantees you get a pure, premium, THC-free supplement every time.
So, to recap, Cannaray CBD is:
- THC-free.
- Non-psychoactive.
- Not going to make you feel high.
- Completely safe for everyday enjoyment.

Is CBD a drug and is it legal in the UK?
Let's debunk some more CBD myths. First up, CBD isn't a drug and, yes, it is completely legal to buy and take CBD in the UK. As we mention above, CBD brands simply have to make sure they keep each product's THC levels below 0.03%, which is why you should always make sure you're buying your oils and edibles from a reputable company. Quick reminder: Cannaray CBD is THC-free.
In the UK CBD is actually classed and sold as a food supplement, which gives you some idea of how safe it is to add it to your daily routine. In fact, you'll even find Cannaray CBD in some of your favourite and most trusted high street stores, from supermarkets such as Waitrose and ASDA, to health shops like Superdrug and Holland & Barrett.

How long will CBD stay in my system?
This all depends on the CBD products you're taking, as well as your biological make-up, how high your dosage is, and even what you've eaten that day. Put simply, the length of CBD performance will vary from person to person. For some, the compound may be processed quickly, for others, it may last hours. As for how long CBD stays in your system, one study indicates it may remain for one or two days when taken orally, while others suggest there could be traces for as long as three to five days.
