Frequent Asked Questions

We use water to extract so you get the raw acidic cannabinoids in a stable form. This is important as they are more bioavailable.

The “a” or "A" stands for acid, as CBDa is short for cannabidiolic acid. CBDa is the acidic precursor to CBD and the parent form of CBD that it is actually grown in the plant.

CBDa acts differently in your body from CBD and there is no problem with combining the two. Some studies show great synergy with the combination. If you are not experiencing the benefits with CBD that you are wanting, it is a great time to take a break from CBD and really pay attention to how your body feels from CBDa. Studies show that it is a lot more bioavailable/biologically compatible, so you need less CBDa than CBD.

No, when taken internally, it is considered a Dietary Supplement and our products are labelled accordingly.

Everyone metabolizes differently but typically relief is from 4-6 hours. Better effects are reported from daily cannabinoid therapy. When the Endocannabinoid receptors stay more quenched and saturated, steady benefits are reported.

As the reported benefits are great, we recommend incorporating CBDa into your daily routine. If you are fighting pain, an increased amount from your daily dose may provide relief.

There have been no reported overdose cases associated with the hemp plant. We advise starting low and going slow to find the point where your body feels its best.

CBDa can interact with the liver’s p450 enzyme that is responsible for breaking down certain medications. This could result in greater amounts of your other medication in your bloodstream (typically with >200mg/day CBDa) so dose correction may be advised. Please consult with your doctor.

Pain is universal and athletes are no exception. High endurance athletes are at risk of dehydration and there have been cases of kidney failure, even death, from the use of NSAIDs.

No, CBDa along with all other cannabinoids will not help with "everything" as it is not a miracle cure (unfortunately). CBDa is proposed to interact with your body’s Endocannabinoid System (ECS) through modulation of endocannabinoids. The ECS system is responsible for homeostasis, maintaining balance, and overall well being. Therefore, modulation of this system may provide some of these benefits.

Planetarie offers both topical and ingestible products. Typically, our topicals are used as spot treatment for aches, pains and skin afflictions, so used as needed. Our ingestibles are most effective when taken consistently for systemic well being.

Plantarie offers several ingestible options: an Infusion, Soft Gels and water-soluble Drink Additives in both liquid and powder forms. The Infusion is absorbed sublingually. Hold it under your tongue for maximum absorption. The Soft Gels can be taken throughout the day or all together. Start with 1-2 and see how your body feels. The Drink Additives can be added to any beverage of your choice.

We use the whole plant, so you are getting the full-spectrum of cannabinoids. However, CBN is a molecule not made by the plant until it degrades/ages significantly so there is not CBN in our products.

The goal of incorporating phytocannabinoids into your daily routine is to get your body back to homeostasis (balance). Our community reports feeling better and more balanced

As we are all uniquely made, we cannot predict how your body will respond to CBDa. Many report using our products prior to bedtime and experience a deeper night’s sleep. We recommend starting low and going slow to see how CBDa affects you.

As the acidic cannabinoids are indeed acidic, there is a potential though unlikely. If that is a concern, we recommend taking the Soft Gels instead of the Infusion.

No.

No. CBDa interacts with the 5HT1A receptor in your body, also known as serotonin. Serotonin levels affect satiety, so CBDa is reported to help lessen an appetite.

Yes, there should be no interference with that.
