The use of CBD (cannabidiol) oil is rapidly increasing in popularity thanks to its positive effects on many medical conditions and lack of the psychotic properties which are associated with THC, its counterpart.
However, it can be tricky to purchase CBD oil online, and making the right choice can require extensive research.
There is no regulation for companies who sell CBD oil online, and therefore it is possible to accidentally buy a low quality or fake product. Here are some tips to help you make the right choices when buying CBD oil online.
Find A Genuine Product
With so many online sellers of CBD oil it can be hard to know which ones are offering a genuine product.
Luckily, the FDA carries out tests on all products on the market to determine the level of cannabidiol that has been claimed by the manufacturers, and the results of these tests can be found online. That means that with a bit of clever research you can determine which products are the real deal.
Use An Authorised Supplier
You should only buy CBD oil from a licensed supplier if you want to be certain that you are getting a high-quality product.
The government authorises and regulates the supply of all CBD oil products, and while you can buy products with a CBD concentration of 28% in pharmaceutical stores, they are much more expensive that an equally good product which can be purchased online.
Check The Concentration
Good suppliers list the cannabidiol concentration in their products in its description. You should be looking for a concentration of around 10% to 26% in your chosen product, so if the percentage of CBD is too high or too low, give that brand a miss.
Think Quality Not Quantity
Quantity isn’t always the most important factor when buying CBD oil online. It is better to select a smaller amount of a high quality product instead of a large volume of a poor quality product.
In general, you should remember that the breeding and extraction process is quite expensive, so the chances of finding a high-quality product at a low price is remote.
Look For Guarantees
If a seller offers a guarantee with every purchase, this is a good sign that you are buying a high-quality product.
Extraction Method
Check with each manufacturer to find out the method they use for extraction and look for proof that their product is effective and pure.
CBD oil should be extracted from hemp which has a high cannabidiol concentration and only a microscopic amount of THC.
You should always look for certified organic industrial hemp oil since some inferior products contain chemicals and pesticides. You should always avoid any product that contains chemicals.
Look For Transparency
If a seller is willing to display a lab report on their website which shows the concentration of CBD oil that they use in their products as well as proof that there are no pesticides and demonstrating the technique used for extraction, they can generally be relied upon as a trustworthy company.
Is There Any THC?
Above all, check the product to make sure there is no THC contained in it as this can cause a high. It also has psychotic properties including anxiety, delusions and sedative effects.
