Short answer: There’s a special set of chemical receptors on cells throughout the body that respond to cannabinoids. Our dark salve finds these in the skin and tells them to chill out.

Long answer: Like other CBD products, our dark CBD salve works by acting on the endocannabinoid system. Everyone has an endocannabinoid system whether they use CBD or not, and it’s associated with the regulation of pain, immune response, mood, appetite, and other functions within the body. Just a whole bunch of stuff.
When you apply our dark salve to your skin, the CBD can bind to endocannabinoid receptors located under the surface. Once the CBD acts upon these receptors, they can get to work by stimulating pain relief or triggering an anti-inflammatory response.

You apply our dark CBD salve just like you would any other cream or lotion – rub it on your skin! If you’re using it to soothe inflamed joints or muscles, then you will want to apply it directly over the affected area for best results. The same is true if you have dry, itchy, or irritated skin.

Short answer: Generally speaking, no.

Long answer: Topical CBD products are not associated with any side effects. However, there’s always a possibility that your skin could be sensitive to an ingredient in any body care product.
For example, some people are sensitive to coconut oil or shea butter, which are common natural ingredients that are found in some topical products. These ingredients work for lots and lots of people, but they can cause irritation to some. So if you seem to have any reaction or irritation associated with a cream you are using…stop using it.

Short answer: Pretty much anything on the exterior of the body.

Long answer: We have people using it for all kinds of skin and/or soft tissue pain. We’ve even heard customers say they get relief from bone pain with our salves, but again we aren’t physicians. You’ll have to try it for yourself to see how it works with your body – give it a shot basically anywhere there’s inflammation within a few inches of the skin.
We don’t think our salve helps with hair loss, but we also haven’t tried. Please submit success stories if you have any.

Short answer: Try it and see for yourself!

Long answer: Topical CBD is not an FDA-approved treatment for joint and muscle pain or for any other symptoms. However, many people have reported that it helped reduce their symptoms of pain and inflammation without unwanted side effects. Some even say that the results last for many hours after applying the salve!
CBD topicals can provide a very relaxing, pleasant experience. Simply massaging CBD cream or salve onto your aches and pains can feel heavenly! Thanks to its interaction with the endocannabinoid system, the CBD has the potential to boost the soothing effect of a massage. At FTP, we also formulate our CBD topicals with a variety of delicious scents to add an aromatherapy effect. So whether you prefer the bright citrusy aroma of lemongrass, soothing lavender, earthy tea tree, or the icy effect of menthol with a refreshing burst of peppermint, we’ve got you covered at CBD For the People.

Organic candelilla vegan wax, unrefined coconut oil, unrefined shea butter, arnica oil, vitamin E, essential oil for flavor, and our dark unrefined full spectrum CBD. That’s it!

Short answer: Not if you’re getting FTP products!

Long answer: There’s been some unfortunate business going on in the vape industry of late, with people getting sick and even dying from what seems to be adulterated vape products containing various nastiness like vitamin E acetate. For The People is very proud to reiterate that we have never and will never use any weird additives or other shenanigans for the sake of profit.
It’s…kind of always been our thing.
But to the point with our salves, vitamin E is super good for your skin. That’s why it’s used in so many skincare products! You just don’t want to inhale it, so as long as you don’t vape our salves (and to be clear DON’T DO THIS) you’ll be fine.

Short answer: Nope, everything’s fine.

Long answer: This shouldn’t happen if stored at normal room temperature, but if left in the sun or a hot vehicle the various oils and waxes in the salve may separate into a grainier texture. This has no impact whatsoever on the effectiveness of the product.
We’ve actually had some customers say they prefer it this way (shrug).

However you want.

We haven’t tried using them as eyedrops, though…that sounds like a bad idea. Massage oil is an absolute yes, that one we’ve tried.

Short answer: Pretty much everything.

Long answer: Tinctures may help with things like anxiety, pain management, and sleep, along with a whole bunch of other things modern science is still figuring out. They can also function like a thinner version of our salve if used externally.
Try it for yourself and see what effects you notice!

The terms “CBD oil” and “CBD tincture” are often used interchangeably, but it depends on who you ask; some people refer to them as two different products. But in general, a CBD oil is purely CBD-infused oil, whereas a tincture can have other ingredients added – whether to ensure a more liquid consistency or to change the flavor.

Our products contain unrefined, full spectrum cannabis CBD extract blended flawlessly with organic coconut-derived MCT oil. You can call them tinctures, oils, or whatever you want!

Many users report that they feel the effects of CBD within minutes, while others find that it takes longer to set in, up to a few hours. Some first-time users report that they started feeling effects after several days of consistent use. We suggest using the minimum dosage that provides the effects that you want, and make sure to always consult your healthcare provider when using CBD oil.

If you struggle with sleeplessness, you’re almost certainly looking for relief! Sleepless nights are stressful and tiring. CBD often produces calming effects that may help you drift off to sleep.

A reputable company will be open and honest about what’s in their CBD products. You should be able to find ingredients lists and laboratory test results for any CBD product. Lab testing is essential to make sure the product is safe and that it contains exactly the levels of CBD that it’s supposed to contain!

Short answer: It means a more potent product that’s much healthier with no added nastiness.

Long answer: Many companies on the market today cut their cartridges with MCT’s (from coconut oil), PG, VG, or other unnatural chemical carriers and additives to maximize profits and create a free flowing product.

We do the exact opposite.

We leave our cartridges fully uncut, thick, and extremely potent blended only with natural terpene profiles.

This is the most organic CBD vape available on the market; the cleanest way to vape CBD.

Short answer: Try it and see for yourself!

Long answer: While CBD is not FDA-approved to help with medical conditions like anxiety, there is evidence that it can help lower peoples’ stress levels and reduce such negative feelings. We cannot provide medical advice, but some people do find that vaping CBD is incredibly relaxing and soothing. Everyone gets stressed from time to time, and CBD could potentially be a big help to you on stressful days! That being said, if you struggle with clinical anxiety, it’s always a good idea to seek medical treatment and ask your healthcare provider about the best treatment options.

Short answer: Again…try it and see for yourself!

Long answer: Many people report that vaping CBD can reduce their pain levels and provide comfort and relaxation. Chronic pain and injuries are difficult to deal with, but when you have the right pain management strategy for you, it can be a lot more bearable! Vapers often report quicker pain relief than those who take CBD orally or topically.
CBD is commonly used to help with pain and inflammation, but it is not FDA-approved for these purposes. Again, it’s very important that you discuss this with your healthcare provider so they can help you decide on the best strategy for your needs, especially if you’re taking any medications that might contraindicate CBD (and when in doubt ask your doctor or pharmacist).

Short answer: In most places YES, but check your local jurisdiction to be sure.

Long answer: As long as the CBD product in question is hemp-derived and contains little to no THC, you’re in the clear.** THC is the chemical compound that delivers the familiar “high” or “stoned” effect. For that reason, products containing more than 0.3% THC are restricted in many US states, as well as in countries around the world. But our CBD products are lab-tested and verified to be under the legal limit of THC. They won’t cause any psychoactive effects, and they are completely legal!

** SD, IA: Sorry…these states currently don’t allow CBD in any form, because [reasons]. Call your representatives!
** ID: This state only allows CBD products that test at zero-THC, which currently includes only our X1 and XN vapes.

Short answer: Only if you like having lungs that work.

Long answer: Propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG) have both been linked to lung damage when vaporized and inhaled. Both of these products are generally recognized as safe when ingested, but they just aren’t meant to go into our respiratory tract.
In contrast, MCT’s have unique chemical properties that make them safer to inhale, but they dilute the potency of CBD wax. That’s why we don’t put them in our cartridges – we cram literally as much CBD into those bad boys as possible (especially the X2).

Short answer: When we came out with it in the summer of ’18, it was hands-down THE MOST POTENT CBD cartridge on the market.

Long answer: We here at FTP toiled away in the lab developing the industry’s first 65% CBD wax cartridge, with no PG, VG, or MCT. One full gram contains a whopping 650 mg of CBD!

Go ahead and run a Google search for high potency CBD wax cartridges and see what comes up. We’ll wait. Oh, literally everyone else has nothing on FTP’s cartridges? How about that.

Short answer: It depends, but usually at least a couple weeks.

A standard cartridge will last between two and four weeks depending on how often you use it. We use only uncut wax so it does burn slow and last for a good amount of time. We do recommend getting the 1000 mg cartridges since they are the best value; you get the most CBD wax for your money. The X2 cartridges are by far the best value on the market.

Short answer: Use the lowest setting you can get away with.

Long answer: Our batteries all have various voltage settings.

Regular battery, FTP Elite battery:

• White = 2.7V
• Blue = 3.1V
• Red = 3.6V

EliteHEAT (x3) battery:

• White = 2.5V
• Blue = 3.0V
• Green = 3.5V
• Red = 4.0V

Anything up to 3.6V should be fine, but your vaping experience will go more smoothly if you start low and work your way up. We generally don’t recommend using the 4.0V setting on the EliteHEAT (x3) battery as it seems to be overkill with our wax, but you might find it works for you for whatever reason.

Short answer: Nope! You just need the wax to cover the cartridge’s intake holes.

Long answer: A common misconception is that material needs to be completely liquid in order to be vaped. This is not the case! You can totally vape any of our waxes in their thick, solid form; there just needs to be wax covering all four intake holes in the cartridge. As long as that’s going on, the wax will liquefy as you heat the cartridge.
This means you only need to preheat the cartridge enough to get the wax to move down to those intake holes. Our EliteHeat™ battery is special in that it preheats the WHOLE cartridge rather than just the stuff at the bottom, which makes the process much more efficient, but you do NOT need to smash that preheat function every time.

Short answer: About 1 mg per puff.

Long answer: It depends on how you vape it as well. The best way to get maximum effect is to inhale and hold for a minimum of three seconds before exhaling.

The 500mg and 1,000mg refers to the physical volume of the cartridge. A full gram and half gram. There is no difference in potency, just size.

Yes! This is a high quality cartridge that does not need to be tossed out once it is done. It can easily be refilled and used again with any type of wax.

Absolutely! Winterization is the only way to make a top-of-the-line, clean wax cartridge.

No, you won’t get high from smoking FTP Premium CBD Hemp Flower! CBD flower is specially grown and processed to ensure that you get all the benefits of hemp without the high. It’s made from a specific strain of industrial hemp that contains tons of CBD and little to no THC.

It depends on the person, but many people report a relaxing sensation when smoking CBD flower. It can be relaxing and stress-relieving, both mentally and physically, and it may help reduce pain levels as well. The sensation you feel can vary depending on the strain of CBD, the way you consume it, and the potency of the CBD flower.

Short answer: Yes! (under federal law)

Long answer: CBD flower comes straight from the hemp plant, which contains very high levels of CBD and very low levels of THC. In other words, hemp won’t get you high, and it is perfectly legal when grown and processed in compliance with federal regulations. You’ll never have to worry about legality at CBD for the People: Our CBD products are carefully grown, always lab-tested, and federally legal.

** Important note: State law supersedes federal law, and the states of ID, SD, and IA do not allow products like our premium CBD flower.
Idaho only allows CBD products with zero-THC (our flower has trace amounts), and Iowa and South Dakota don’t allow any CBD products at all, because [reasons].
Sorry, guys…call your representatives!

Yes, CBD flower has an herbal, earthy aroma and flavor. Basically, it smells and tastes like a plant, because it is a plant! Different strains will have different flavors, and many people prefer one flavor profile over the rest. Some people think it smells spicy or piney, and others describe a sweet or citrusy scent. Your CBD flower may not smell identical to its THC counterparts, but it smells pretty similar, and you’ll find the aroma and flavor to be familiar if you’re used to using natural CBD tinctures or cannabis flower.

It’s important to only use hemp flower that is free of pesticides, solvents, heavy metals, and other contaminants. It’s also crucial that the company you buy your hemp from gets its products lab-tested on a regular basis. With lab tests, you can verify that the product is exactly what it says it is.

Not all CBD hemp flower is rich in CBD, so make sure to choose a brand that can verify the CBD level present in its plants. At CBD For the People, we guarantee that our Wine Widow hemp strain contains 27% CBD, an incredible potency at a great value!

We basically take our unrefined dark CBD in its rawest form and shove it into a softgel. (with the softgels’ consent, of course.)

This allows you to get a solid 25mg of our dark, raw CBD in a 100% tasteless form. Since our CBD is unrefined full-spectrum you get all the cannabinoid profiles, terpenes, plant sterols, vitamins, omegas, and phytonutrients that come along with it. Very cool!

Short answer: Blow hard into it to clear the airways.

Long answer: REMEMBER! THERE IS ADJUSTABLE AIR FLOW BUILT IN THE TOP OF THE CARTRIDGE! Make sure the air holes are OPEN by twisting the metal adjustable band towards the mouthpiece. If the holes are closed, it will seem clogged.

Short answer: It does NOT need to be liquid to vape. This is pure wax, not vape oil. Get off the PG-VG train.

Long answer: Since the wax inside is UNCUT, meaning ZERO chemical additives or thinning agents of any kind, it solidifies quickly. It can be vaped like this. Again, it does NOT need to be liquid. If you’ve ever lit a candle, you know that any kind of wax melts when heated.

If wax is stuck on the sides of the glass towards the end of your cartridge, grab a hair dryer and warm it to keep everything towards the bottom of the cartridge. Colder weather may call for other heat sources like a heat gun, heater, or other source of warm air or steam.
(Btdubs, if you keep your cartridge upright AT ALL TIMES this shouldn’t happen in the first place. If you lay your cartridge down when it’s liquid, it will freeze that way just like that ugly face your mom warned you about as a kid.)
Do not run it under hot water! Water can seep its way inside the cartridge and ruin everything. And who wants that? Nobody, that’s who.

The 15 second double-click preheat function on your battery is very helpful when you have no other option, but make sure all 4 intake holes at the base of the cartridge are covered with wax before using this feature. If wax is not covering these holes you can damage the cartridge, so you may need to heat it with an outside source to get the wax to fall to the bottom and prevent that awful situation.

This cartridge is made of 100% quartz and built to withstand high heat. Make sure you LET THE MOUTHPIECE COOL after heating your cartridge. You have been warned!

Short answer: Click faster. Much faster. No matter how fast you think you are.

Long answer: One of the most common issues is that the button is not being clicked quick enough. Five clicks will turn it both OFF and ON; shoot for all five clicks within one second (onetwothreefourfive).

Yup! All our batteries** are compatible with any cartridge using 510 thread.

**except our SMART pod batteries…those are only compatible with our pods. #giveitashot

Short answer: If you want the empty cartridge for vaping your own stuff, the FTP Elite is definitely the better option for you. Both batteries are comparably high-quality, but that empty cartridge would be obnoxiously expensive to buy on its own.

If you want to vape our max-potency X3 cartridge or are vaping the X2 or XN in cold weather, the EliteHEAT (X3) battery is a must-have. (If you need a jacket, your cartridge probably wants one too.)

FTP Elite battery:

• Easy to use, with spiffy magnetic disc thing (it’s weirdly fun to play with)
• Proven record of being long-lasting and extremely reliable
• Comes with an empty cartridge so you can vape your own stuff if you so choose
• May not work too well with X3 cartridges due to lack of dedicated preheat chamber

EliteHEAT (X3) battery:

• Only battery on the market that laughs in the face of crystallized wax
• Pretty much an absolute necessity for the X3 cartridge
  • Also works great with X2 and XN in cold temperatures
• Does everything the FTP Elite battery can do, plus it has an escalating-heat 90-second preheat function
• Doesn’t come with an empty cartridge
