What Is CBD?

CBD (short for cannabidiol) is a natural compound found in the cannabis plant, especially in hemp plants. Unlike THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, CBD doesn’t cause a high. It’s commonly used for pain relief, relaxation, better sleep, and general wellness.

CBD works by interacting with the body's endocannabinoid system, helping regulate mood, inflammation, and immune response. You'll find it in many CBD products like creams, tinctures, CBD gummies, and CBD vape oils. For many, CBD represents a safer alternative to more addictive substances.

What Is Nicotine?

Nicotine is a stimulant naturally found in tobacco plants. It’s the addictive ingredient in tobacco products like tobacco cigarettes, nicotine vapes, and chewing tobacco.

Nicotine use is tied to:

• Addictive properties and nicotine dependence

• Withdrawal symptoms

• Increased heart rate and blood pressure

• Long-term health risks, especially for the heart and lungs

• Known side effects such as anxiety, irritability, and dependence

The metabolism of nicotine in the body varies from person to person. Everything from the amount of nicotine intake, personal tolerance, and how quickly one becomes dependent on nicotine products can have an effect on the items above.

Why Do People Think CBD Has Nicotine?

This confusion usually comes from CBD vapes. Since both CBD vape oils and nicotine vapes use similar devices, many people assume the ingredients are similar.

But:

• CBD comes from hemp (a cannabis plant)

• Nicotine comes from tobacco

• They are completely different compounds with different effects and risks

Some vape liquids, both nicotine and CBD, may also contain base ingredients like propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, which adds to the confusion. It’s important to read product labels and ingredient lists carefully.

Does Any CBD Contain Nicotine?

Most CBD products do not contain nicotine — especially topicals like creams, tinctures, CBD gummies, and oils.

However, be cautious:

• Some CBD vape cartridges may mix CBD with nicotine

• Always read labels and look for third-party lab testing

• At Prehemptive, we guarantee: zero nicotine and no harmful chemicals
