CBD stands for Cannabidiol, one of the primary compounds, or cannabinoids, found in Hemp. The benefits of CBD come from its ability to interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). Simply put, sometimes the body’s endocannabinoid system gets depleted and needs a recharge. Taking CBD is a natural way to support and boost your body’s ECS.

The short answer is no, Kowa will not get you high. But because we know you love the long answers, here you go...

Kowa beverages are made with full-spectrum hemp oil - which has less than .3% THC (the stuff that gets you high). In the state of Colorado, a “serving size” of THC is defined as 10 mg. So if your goal is to experience the benefits of CBD without getting high, then this will be great news for you! Why? Because you’d have to drink more than 222 bottles of Kowa in ONE sitting just to get to the THC “serving size” necessary for a high. Kowa Chill Shots are made with broad-spectrum hemp oil. And because of this, there is absolutely no THC in Kowa Chill Shots. Yep, you read that right. Zero. There is absolutely no amount of chill shot indulgence that will get you high. We think it’s safe to say you won’t be getting high from Kowa.     

Unfortunately, There is a lot of confusion around this question due to misinformation. And while we could clarify and talk for hours about this one, we’ve decided to keep it simple.

1. Though this isn’t scientifically correct, The terms Hemp and Marijuana are both “children” of the “parent” cannabis. Again, this isn’t technically a scientific definition as both hemp and marijuana should truly be referred to as cannabis (more on this later). But we’re keeping it simple.
2. Wait... so it’s all cannabis? Why the distinction? Really, it comes down to one thing–THC content, which is the capacity of cannabis to deliver a high. Cannabis containing less than .3% THC is referred to as Hemp. While cannabis containing more than .3% THC is referred to as Marijuana.
3. This means that most correctly, we should refer to hemp and marijuana as, “Cannabis containing less than .3% THC” and “Cannabis containing more than .3% THC". But since names are easier than numbers, we refer to them as hemp and marijuana.

Our Hemp is grown exclusively in Colorado. Of course we are proud about the fact that our Hemp is grown in the USA, but there’s so much more to be proud about than that! And it all starts with making sure that our Hemp-Farm suppliers are as passionate about quality as we are. Because of this, we stand behind the fact that Kowa’s functional, hemp-derived CBD products are of the highest quality.

The ECS is responsible for maintaining homeostasis (balance) throughout the entire body. It consists of two main pieces — cannabinoid receptors and endocannabinoids. Together, these two components are able to regulate everything from mood to inflammation, and even pain! When things get out of whack, your endocannabinoid system gets things back on track.

It’s quite simple really. When the cannabinoid receptors of your ECS sense that you are out of balance, they call for assistance from your endocannabinoids. The endocannabinoids then get to work on restoring balance to your body. 

Fair questions deserve fair answers. CBD is to your endocannabinoid system what probiotics are to your gut.  And while probiotics aren’t the only way to balance your gut, they certainly help. So try a Kowa! You’ll be glad you did.
