FAQs About Cannabis Basics CHABAs

  1. What are Cannabis Health and Beauty Aids? Topical cannabis applications, <.3% THC, do not cross the blood brain barrier and are non-intoxicating.
  2. Will I get high from using CHABA? No, CHABA are not designed to get into the blood stream. They are designed for localized treatment speaking to the CB2 receptors in the skin, not the CB1 receptors in the brain.
  3. Will they make me fail a urine analysis test? At this point we do not think so, but there is no scientific research to prove either way.
  4. Can I fly with CHABA? TSA in Washington state has not taken CHABA products from flyers. We believe that you are fine to fly domestically
  5. How do these products work with low levels of THC? These products are effective because of the multiple cannabinoid, multiple terpenoid and multiple botanical formulations. We believe strongly in whole plant extractions and infusions, with their synergistic relation between our constituents.
  6. What cannabinoid harvesting methods are used? We use both old school fat infusion where the cannabinoids bond with the fat molecules and ethanol extraction, in some instances adding heat to de-carboxylate converting cannabinoids from its acid form.
  7. How deep do these products go? We utilize both hempseed oil as a carrier, as it is the closest oil to our own natural sebum and terpenoids to aid absorption carrying the formula into the lower levels of the sub-dermis.

  1. Can an LCB-licensed marijuana retailer sell Cannabis Health and Beauty Aid (CHABA) products?
    CHABA products are allowed to be sold in LCB-licensed marijuana stores. RCW 69.50.378 allows LCB-licensed retailers, with or without a medical marijuana endorsement, to sell “products with a THC concentration of 0.3 percent or less.” The products permitted for sale under this statute include CHABA, because RCW 69.50.575 defines CHABA as containing “a THC concentration of not more than 0.3 percent.”
