What Is THC-Free CBD? Benefits, Legality & Why It Matters

What Does THC-Free CBD Mean?

THC-free CBD refers to hemp products that contain 0.0% THC, the compound in marijuana that causes a “high.” These products are typically made with broad-spectrum CBD, which still includes beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes — just without THC.

At Kyoto Botanicals, we make every product THC-free, so you get the wellness benefits of hemp without worrying about psychoactive effects.

Is THC-Free CBD Legal?

Yes. Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived CBD products with less than 0.3% THC are federally legal in the United States. THC-free hemp oil is fully compliant and safe to use nationwide (though some states add their own rules).

What Are The THC-Free CBD Benefits?

Absolutely. Broad-spectrum CBD like in our organic mint CBD drops still provides the entourage effect — where cannabinoids and plant compounds work together — without THC. Many people actually prefer THC-free CBD because they want calm, focus, and balance without risk of intoxication.

Who Should Use THC-Free CBD?

• Professionals needing to focus during the day.

• Parents looking for natural stress support.

• Anyone sensitive to THC or who wants to avoid its side effects (like anxiety or paranoia).
