“Marijuana” is a term used to classify varieties of Cannabis that contain more than 0.3% THC (by dry weight) and can induce psychotropic or euphoric effects on the user.
What is full spectrum?
A full-spectrum CBD product contains multiple cannabis plant extracts, including essential oils, terpenes, and other cannabinoids, such as cannabinol.
Full-spectrum CBD products may also contain up to 0.3% of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the cannabinoid in the cannabis plant that produces the ‘high’ feeling in people. However, such a low amount is not strong enough to have significant psychoactive effects.
Can you smoke hemp ?
Does it get you high?
Can you fail a drugtest when using CBD?
You can smoke Hemp but it won't get you high, in fact smoking it is not the best way to go.
To tap into the cannabinoids that hemp is rich in most notable of (CBD) you would be better served by a temp-derived product such as CBD oil/ Salve.
The hemp-plant produces a broad range of cannabinoids including TetraHydroCannabinol (THC) to create intoxicating effects when consumed, Although the hemp plant does not produce a significant amount of THC(0.03%), it is capable of producing the non-toxicating and medicinally rich CannaBiDiol (CBD) in high concentrates.
So therefore NO you will not fail a drug test with CBD products !

What is Menthol

Mentha arvensis, the corn mint, field mint, or wild mint, is a species of flowering plant in the mint family Lamiaceae.

So, how does menthol work its pain-relieving magic? Though scientists aren’t exactly sure, they do have some theories.
One reason may be menthol’s interaction with the skin’s TRPM8 receptors, which sense feelings of coolness . When the skin feels cooler, it creates a slight feeling of numbness. This, in turn, helps lessen pain.
Menthol may also relieve pain by relaxing blood vessels, allowing them to carry healing nourishment to an injured area .
