Common questions
The answers we get asked before every first order.
Will Verde products cause me to fail a drug test?
Our full-spectrum products contain trace THC (<0.3% by federal law). Most drug tests screen for THC, so we can't guarantee a pass on full-spectrum. If that's a concern, our broad-spectrum and isolate products are tested non-detectable for THC — every COA shows the exact result.
Is hemp-derived CBD legal in my state?
Hemp-derived CBD (≤0.3% THC) is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill and shippable to all 50 states. A handful of states have additional restrictions on specific cannabinoids — we update our shipping rules continuously and won't take an order we can't legally fulfill.
How much CBD should I start with?
First-time customers: start with 10–15mg of full-spectrum tincture, taken at the same time each day for a full week before adjusting. Most people land between 25mg–50mg/day. Our full Dosing Guide walks through the conservative ladder by goal (sleep, focus, recovery).
Can I pause or cancel my subscription?
Anytime, from your account. Pause for a single month, skip a delivery, swap products, or cancel outright — no email required, no phone call, no retention scripts. The 20% subscription discount stays active even on add-on one-time orders between deliveries.
How fast does shipping take?
Orders placed before 2pm MST Mon–Fri ship same day from Boulder. Standard USPS arrives in 3–5 business days; free for orders over $75. UPS 2-day available at checkout. Subscription refills always ship free.
What's the return policy?
30 days, no questions asked. Try a product for a full week, and if it doesn't feel right, email hello@verdebotanicals.example for a no-questions refund — even on opened bottles. The 30-day clock starts on delivery, not order date.
Are your pet products safe for cats and small dogs?
Yes. Calm Pet Tincture uses MCT-oil carrier with no essential oils, xylitol, or alcohol — all known toxins for cats and small dogs. Dose by body weight (chart on the product page); we recommend starting at half the suggested dose for cats and senior pets.
How do I read a COA?
Every product page links the batch-specific COA PDF. The first page summarizes total cannabinoids and the THC pass/fail (must be <0.3%). The pesticide, heavy metals, residual solvent, and microbial pages each show ND (non-detect) or a value — pass if below the action limit. Our /education guide walks through one line by line.
