Frequently Asked Questions About Rock ‘n Roots CBD Products

How do I use the Rock ‘n Roots CBD extracts?

The most effective method is sublingually (under the tongue). Hold the oil there for up to two minutes to allow it to absorb into the bloodstream via capillaries. Anything swallowed passes through the liver and can take up to an hour to enter the bloodstream. Topical products are for external use on unbroken skin only.

Here are some helpful articles relating to how to use CBD:

How much should I use?

Dosage depends on the individual’s body mass and the condition being treated. A general rule is to take 1–2mg of CBD for every 10 pounds of body weight. It is recommended to take a few small doses throughout the day rather than one large dose.

Do your CBD-hemp oils contain THC?

Yes. They are Full Spectrum, meaning they contain both CBD and a legal amount of THC (no more than 0.3%) to enhance therapeutic effects through the “entourage effect.”

For a full description of the ingredients we use in our products, please see our ingredients.

Will your CBD oils cause me to fail a drug test?

While the THC levels are very low (0.16% for 1000mg products and 0.06% for 500mg products), Rock ‘n Roots Farm cannot guarantee drug test results. If this is a concern, they suggest using a CBD isolate.

What is the Endocannabinoid system?

The ECS consists of receptors on cell surfaces and endocannabinoids (signaling molecules) produced by our bodies. Its job is to instruct cells to adjust activities to create a balanced, harmonious state. CBD supports this system.

What is decarboxylation?

It is a chemical reaction using time and low-temperature heat to convert CBD-A (the natural acid form) into CBD, which is more bio-available. This process also protects terpenes and flavonoids.

Are there any harsh chemicals used during processing Rock ‘n Roots CBD Products?

No. They use a licensed local processor that utilizes Certified Organic Food Grade Ethanol in small batches. The ethanol is later distilled out, and each batch is tested to ensure no residue remains.

Is your product 3rd party tested?

Yes. Test certificates (Proverde, and SC Labs ) are available for their various tincture strengths on the website.

How does our processor know if the Certified Organic Food Grade Ethanol is gone after extracting?

The decarboxylation process evaporates remaining ethanol. They then use 3rd-party lab testing to confirm there is no trace of ethanol left.

What is the “entourage effect”?

This term refers to the combined effect of over 80 phyto-cannabinoids (CBD, CBC, CBG, etc.) and other compounds like terpenes and flavonoids working together to produce a greater effect than CBD would alone.

Cannabis, Marijuana, Hemp… what’s the difference?

All are subspecies of Cannabis. Historically, “hemp” refers to strains used for fiber, seed, and CBD production. Legally, “industrial hemp” must contain no more than 0.3% THC. Marijuana typically refers to strains bred for high THC content.

Can your CBD products be used for vaping?

No. Their products are not formulated for vaping and should never be used in vape pens.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Farm & Philosophy

Where is Rock ‘n Roots Farm located?

We are a small family farm located in the North Fork Valley of the Gunnison River, just outside of Paonia, Colorado. Our land is adjacent to the West Elk Wilderness, providing us with pure, clean headwaters for irrigation.

What does “Seed-to-Bottle” mean?

“Seed-to-Bottle” means we manage every single step of the process right here on our family farm. We grow the hemp and medicinal herbs, harvest them by hand, and craft them into finished products in small batches. This model eliminates the waste found in traditional supply chains and ensures total quality control. It also ensures consistency in their products. Most larger companies purchase their CBD oil from brokers who consolidate hemp and oil from various farms which translates to inconsistency from batch to batch. 

What is “Certified Naturally Grown”?

We are Certified Naturally Grown (CNG), which is a farmer-led alternative to Organic certification. It means we go “beyond organic”—we never use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or petroleum-based ingredients. We focus on soil health and biodiversity to grow the cleanest medicine possible.

What are regenerative farming practices?

Regenerative farming is about giving back more to the land than we take. We use low-till or no-till methods to protect soil microbes, plant cover crops to prevent erosion, and maintain pollinator-friendly habitats. These practices help sequester carbon and restore the ecosystem.

Do you grow all your own ingredients?

We grow 100% of the hemp used in our products and about 70% of the medicinal herbs (like chamomile and lemon balm). For ingredients we cannot grow ourselves, we carefully select partners who share our commitment to fair trade and sustainable growing practices.

Can I use the topical oils on my face?

While the Morning Glow Face Oil is specifically formulated for facial skin, our Calendula Oil is also very gentle and safe for the face. We recommend a patch test first, especially if you have highly reactive skin.

Are your non-CBD products safe for children?

Many of our “Wellness Without CBD” products, like the Unscented Healing Salve and Calendula Oil, are popular with parents for their gentle, plant-based ingredients. However, we always recommend consulting with a pediatrician before using new herbal products on children.

How should I store my botanical oils and teas?
