Click to head to our page ‘Dosage and How to Take It’ for a thorough explanation
Which product is best for me?
It all depends on your personal preference. We can’t discuss ailments, symptoms or give medicinal advice due to the restrictions stipulated by the MHRA to which we adhere. We encourage everyone to research for themselves.
Is CBD legal in the UK and Europe?
Yes! The Tonic Oil comes from cannabis sativa L plants grown legally on farms in the European Union. CBD s legal to buy throughout the European Union, with exception of Iceland and Norway.
In other parts of the world the law can be less liberal so for that reason, regretfully, we don’t sell our products outside the EU.
Will The Tonic CBD get me high or does it contain THC?
No – our CBD products will not get you high.
Our products contain only teeny weeny trace amounts of THC because our cbd oil is truly Full Spectrum, but they contain less than the UK legal amount which is under 0.3mg le bottle. Therefore you will not experience any of those effects associated with THC nor will it show up on drugs tests.
Does CBD show up in a drugs test?
We have been advised it doesn’t. If you stay within the recommended daily dosage, you will be fine. Do not exceed 70mg of CBD a day (do note that all our CBD products you take orally are between 8mg and 12mg CBD per drop or spray).
The THC levels in our products are ‘trace’, less than 0.3mg.
What's the difference between Oil or water soluble?

Do you support charities?
No CBD retailer is allowed by law to support charities who represent any medical condition. We can, however, support those charities that do not, for example community projects, animal welfare etc…
Is it safe to travel with CBD?
While CBD is legal throughout the European Union we still recommend caution when travelling with it. It is a cannabis product, after all, and there is a chance airport staff may confuse it for illegal cannabis products and seize it.
Ultimately it is your decision if you choose to travel with CBD products – and we have never heard of one of our customers getting in trouble for doing so, but you should bear in mind that probably not everyone who works in an airport will be aware of the legality of CBD, but everyone will know the illegality of cannabis in general.
When travelling outside of Europe we strongly recommend not travelling with CBD.
Can I take CBD with medication?
Always consult your doctor if you are on regular medication before taking CBD.
We suggest you leave a 2 hour gap between taking your medication and your CBD. If you are taking medication for heart conditions or blood thinners, leave a 4 hour gap. Avoid consuming grapefruit or derivatives of, when taking CBD as it can increase or inhibit the effects.
Why don't you sell capsules?
They are not as effective as the oils taken sublingually or the water soluble ingested. This is because capsules have to go through your digestive system and not all the CBD will be absorbed as effectively as the other methods.
Why don't you sell vape oil?
At the moment, we do not sell CBD Vape Oil. We don’t believe they are a safe, effective or economical way to take CBD.
Not all vape devices treat the CBD oil with the effectiveness or love that they should, so make sure you research well which device is best to use.
It’s also rare to get a full spectrum vape oil, most on the market are make with cbd isolate.
What countries do you ship to?
We ship to all countries across the world, with exception to those countries that are yet to legalise CBD.
What is the best method for storing my CBD?
We suggest all CBD products are kept in a cool dark space, like a cupboard. Do not refrigerate.
Why is my bottle leaking?
You need to keep the head of the bottles clean. The oil can act as a lubricant on the threads and this vacuum stops the lid properly sealing tight. If you still have issues, please get in touch and we will arrange a replacement.
The oil won't come out of the dispenser, what can I do?
When you first open your bottle, hold it over a sink and give it a few pumps/sprays. This gets it going. If this happens towards the end of the bottle, it’s due to the sediment in the oil blocking the nossle or if it has got cold it can solidify. Pump warm water throught the pump/spray until it runs through OK. If solidified, get the bottle warm with hot water or on a radiator and this should get it going again.

I have a certain medical condition, can you help?
We cannot advise on medical conditions and always recommend you consult your doctor before taking CBD
Can I give my pets CBD?
