Our CBD & Cannabinoid Based Products

Do your products contain THC?

All of Upstate’s products are third party tested for purity and potency, and none of our products contain more than the federal legal limit of .3% THC. Some of our products are made with CBD Isolate and contain no THC whatsoever such as the THC Free Tincture and the Organic CBD Gummy.

What is CBD?

CBD, or Cannabidiol, is a single cannabinoid found to reside in the Cannabis plant; there are over a hundred more cannabinoids with similar names like tetrahydrocannabinol-THC or Cannabichromene-CBC. A cannabinoid is a type of chemical that reacts with an assigned receptor in the brain called, cleverly enough, a cannabinoid receptor. Cannabinoid receptors were discovered in 1988, and so the science behind them is still just beginning to be understood. What we do know is that each and every cannabinoid has some sort of an effect on the body, the science behind what precisely those effects are is developing all the time, so the Upstate Elevator Supply Co. heartily recommends that you do a bit of independent research into the subject.

What is CBG?

CBG, otherwise known as cannabigerol, is one of the many cannabinoids abundant in both cannabis and hemp plants. This cannabinoid acts as a precursor to other cannabinoids, or “the mother of all cannabinoids” because it’s where other compounds (such as CBD) derive. CBG is a cannabinoid used for its neuroprotective properties for a more calm and regulated effect.

What is CBN?

CBN is another one of the hundreds of cannabinoids found in both hemp and cannabis, and provides deep relaxation You’ll find CBN in a couple of our CBD gummies for relaxation, thanks to its unwinding and calming properties.

Is there a difference between CBD vs. CBDA?

Both CBD and CBDA are cannabinoids derived from hemp plants, known for promoting relaxation and wellness. However, because CBDA is a more raw form of the cannabinoid CBD, both cannabinoids interact with the endocannabinoid system differently – CBD is seen as an antagonist to your CB2 receptor, while CBDA may inhibit the COX 2 receptor.

How do I best use CBD?

CBD can be applied topically, sublingually, inhaled, swallowed, or sipped; we are constantly discovering new methods of production and consumption. Take a capsule with breakfast, put a few drops of our tincture in your morning tea, or munch on a delicious gummy or chocolate at lunch. Read our full user guide for taking CBD.

Is CBD psychoactive and will it make you high?

CBD does not make people feel “high” and can even counteract the psychoactivity of THC. Nothing we sell contains enough of the psychoactive cannabinoid THC to have an intoxicating effect, so long as you follow the recommended dosage.

How is CBD concentrate made?

There are dozens of methods for processing the hemp plant into hundreds of different products each with many methods of enjoyment. Upstate uses several extraction and processing methods to create the optimal profile of constituents for each of our products.

Lipid infusion is our patented process of using a coconut oil or MCT oil base to draw the fullest possible spectrum of active compounds from the hemp plant, carefully preserving their molecular structure and maximizing the co-evolutionary benefits of the entourage effect.

Cold extraction utilizes a proprietary, closed-loop ultra-cold extraction methodology. Maintaining cryogenic temperature through the entire extraction process preserves the phytocannabinoids, terpenes, terpenoids and flavonoids within the plant while leaving behind unwanted lipids, waxes and plant sugars. The result is a 100% organic, and exceedingly pure, full spectrum oil that is rich in CBD and minor cannabinoids.

CBD isolate is a pure crystalline extraction of the CBD compound. It is free of all other cannabinoids including THC, as well as the other plant constituents that are present in our full spectrum extractions. This purified CBD has no odor or flavor, making it perfect for edibles and beverages, and choosing isolate is a sure way to know exactly what you’re getting – and not getting – for people who wish to limit their exposure to THC and other hemp compounds.

Nano-encapsulation is a novel processing method that ultrasonically compacts the CBD compound into very small (<100 nanometer) particles for increased absorption by the body. This is achieved by coating the nano-CBD particles in a natural binding material comprised of carbohydrates, which makes them easily dissolvable in water. The microscopic size and water solubility combine to enhance bioavailability and expedite the dispersion of cannabinoids into the bloodstream.

What are the ingredients in your Vermont CBD gummies?

Our Vermont CBD and CBG gummies are made with organically grown hemp. Each flavor of gummies is blended with organic fruit ingredients for a pleasant and delicious taste with each bite!

Why take CBD at night?

How much CBD should a beginner start with?

When it comes to trying a new dosage or CBD product, it’s important to start slow and low. Once you’ve taken your first dose, assess how you feel after some time and then start slowly titrating up as needed.

Which is better full-spectrum or broad-spectrum CBD?

Full and broad spectrum refers to how the CBD was extracted and what other cannabinoids and plant compounds are included. 

Full-spectrum CBD is thought to have a stronger effect than broad-spectrum CBD because of the full spectrum of other cannabinoids – such as THC – that can be present.

Can I fly with CBD?

Current TSA regulations allow passengers to fly with cannabis products that contain no more than 0.3% THC by dry weight, and FDA-approved products. Read our educational blog for more information on traveling through TSA with CBD.

Is CBD safe for pets?

Because our CBD products are organically grown and sourced in Vermont, our CBD is safe for both pets and humans. The basic dosing rule for cats and dogs is 1–5 mg CBD for every 10 pounds of body weight. Because potencies vary by CBD product, it’s important to read the label to determine the amount of CBD to dose for your pet.
