Questions from the Farmer’s Market

Is CBD Safe?

One of the very first questions I hear at the farmers’ market table is: “But is it safe?”
And honestly, it’s a great question. If you’re putting something into your body (or giving it to your pet), you should absolutely want to know.

The short answer? Current research suggests that CBD is generally well tolerated by most people and pets, even when used consistently over time. But let’s dig a little deeper.

What the Research Says

• A 2017 review published in Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research found that CBD has a favorable safety profile, with few side effects reported even at higher doses.
• The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that CBD is “generally well tolerated with a good safety profile.”
• More recent studies, like one in Frontiers in Pharmacology (2020), have continued to support CBD’s safety, though they also highlight that research is ongoing and more long-term data is still being collected.

Things to Keep in Mind

Even with a solid safety profile, a few things are important to consider:

• Quality matters. Not all CBD is created equal. Some mass-produced products may contain pesticides, heavy metals, or leftover solvents from poor processing. Always look for third-party testing.
• Individual response varies. Just like with coffee or certain foods, your body (or your pet’s body) may respond differently than someone else’s. Start low and be consistent.
• Medication interactions. If you or your pet are on prescription medications, it’s a good idea to check in with your healthcare provider before starting CBD.

Why Healing Green Farms?

At Healing Green Farms, we only use CO₂-extracted hemp, considered the gold standard for purity and safety. Every small batch is handcrafted and third-party tested, so you can feel confident knowing exactly what’s in your bottle—and what’s not.

So, back to the original question: “Is CBD safe?”
The best answer is: research says yes, but quality and consistency are key. And that’s exactly why we do what we do.
