Legal Compliance & Jurisdiction
Federal Law: Hemp-derived CBD products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis are federally legal under the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-334), commonly known as the "2018 Farm Bill."
State & Local Laws: CBD regulations vary significantly by state, territory, and local jurisdiction. Some states have stricter regulations, require registration, or prohibit certain CBD products entirely (including but not limited to: Idaho, Nebraska, South Dakota).
Your Responsibility:
It is your sole responsibility to verify the legality of CBD products in your state, territory, or jurisdiction before purchasing, possessing, or using. Cannetics makes no representations or warranties regarding the legality of CBD products in any specific jurisdiction.

Age Restriction
AGE REQUIREMENT: 21+
CBD products featured on this website are not intended for use by persons under the age of 21. By accessing this website, purchasing products through our affiliate links, or using any information provided, you represent and warrant that you are at least 21 years of age or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater.
If you are under 21, do not use this website or purchase any products linked from this site.
Drug Testing Warning
CRITICAL NOTICE FOR ATHLETES, EMPLOYEES, AND SERVICE MEMBERS: CBD products may contain trace amounts of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), even products labeled as "THC-free," "broad spectrum," or "CBD isolate." Cross-contamination during cultivation, extraction, or manufacturing is possible.
Regular use of CBD products could potentially result in a positive drug test for THC metabolites. CBD itself is not typically tested for in standard workplace drug panels, but THC contamination can trigger positive results.
If you are subject to drug testing:
- Consider using THC-free CBD isolate products from reputable manufacturers with verifiable Certificates of Analysis (COAs)
- Be aware that even "THC-free" products carry some risk
- Discontinue use at least 30 days before scheduled drug testing when possible
- Understand that Cannetics cannot be held responsible for any consequences resulting from a failed drug test, including but not limited to: employment termination, loss of athletic eligibility, or military discipline

Drug Interactions & Contraindications
IMPORTANT: CBD may interact with certain prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, dietary supplements, and herbs. CBD can affect how your body metabolizes medications through the cytochrome P450 enzyme system (particularly CYP3A4 and CYP2C19), potentially changing drug blood levels, effectiveness, or causing adverse effects.
The "Grapefruit Warning" Test: If your medication has a grapefruit warning on the prescription label or patient information leaflet, it is likely metabolized by CYP3A4 and may interact with CBD. Consult your healthcare provider before combining.
Medication Classes Known to Potentially Interact with CBD:
- Anticoagulants/Antiplatelets: Warfarin (Coumadin), Clopidogrel (Plavix), Aspirin - Increased bleeding risk
- Anticonvulsants: Clobazam (Onfi), Valproic Acid (Depakote), Carbamazepine (Tegretol) - Altered seizure medication levels
- Cardiovascular medications: Beta-blockers (Metoprolol, Atenolol), Calcium channel blockers (Amlodipine, Diltiazem) - Additive blood pressure effects
- Benzodiazepines & Sedatives: Alprazolam (Xanax), Diazepam (Valium), Zolpidem (Ambien) - Increased drowsiness, respiratory depression risk
- Antidepressants: SSRIs (Fluoxetine, Sertraline), SNRIs, Tricyclics - Potential level changes, serotonin syndrome risk (rare)
- Immunosuppressants: Tacrolimus, Cyclosporine - Altered drug levels, rejection risk
- Opioids: Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Morphine - Increased sedation, respiratory depression
- Statins: Atorvastatin, Simvastatin - Potential level changes
- Antihistamines: Diphenhydramine, Loratadine - Increased drowsiness
⚠️ CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE USING CBD IF:
You take ANY prescription medications, especially those listed above or medications with a grapefruit warning. Your healthcare provider may need to monitor blood levels, adjust dosages, or advise against CBD use. Do not stop or change any prescribed medication without consulting your physician.

Pregnancy, Breastfeeding & Reproductive Health
DO NOT USE CBD PRODUCTS IF YOU ARE:
- Pregnant
- Breastfeeding or nursing
- Planning to become pregnant
- Trying to conceive (male or female)
The effects of cannabidiol (CBD) on pregnancy, fetal development, and breastfeeding are not fully understood. Limited animal studies suggest potential risks to fetal brain development and reproductive function. Human clinical data is insufficient to establish safety.
The FDA strongly advises against use of CBD, THC, or marijuana in any form during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Cannabinoi ds can pass through the placenta and into breast milk, potentially affecting the developing fetus or infant.
Always consult your obstetrician, midwife, or healthcare provider before using any supplement during pregnancy or lactation.

- Changes in appetite (increased or decreased)
