When you buy CBD oil online? The industry is still unregulated. There are no fixed guidelines to abide by. Hence, different manufacturers offer different product formulations. While some of the leading CBD brands offer 100% natural and organic CBD oils, many CBD oils available online are of sub-par quality. In such a scenario, the onus of finding the best CBD oil falls on the consumer.
Project CBD is a good start. It’s a non-profit organization that provides information on the medical uses of cannabidiol. It also covers other components of cannabis plants used for therapeutic purposes. It’s widely popular with:
Here, you can find all scientific studies about CBD and the latest news related to the industry.
Many first-time CBD buyers also look up to mega influencers on social media to provide them the required information. Video and text user reviews and social media posts can:
Honest reviews of users in which they share how CBD oil helped them are an excellent education resource at present. They can offer you an excellent insight into how to use CBD oil (of a particular brand):
CBD companies may mislead you in their marketing documents. They have vested interests as they want their products to sell more. The FDA has warned several CBD companies for making false claims about CBD in their marketing channels. These companies are likely to color the results of pre-clinical studies and lab experiments on cannabidiol (CBD) in their favor. They may also use misleading terms on their packaging to:
Real user reviews let you see the truth. If you are adept at filtering out the fake reviews, you can use these user reviews to confirm how CBD oil affects a user with a similar medical condition as you.
Technically, hemp and hemp-derived CBD oil are now legal throughout the US. World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) have also removed CBD from the 2019 list of prohibited compounds. But Amazon does not allow the sale of CBD on its platform.
Amazon prohibits the sale of any CBD product, including:
on its e-commerce platform.
Amazon works on the guidelines of LegitScript. This organization works to confirm that a product available online is:
If LegitScript identifies a product as having cannabidiol, one cannot sell it on Amazon.
When you search for CBD oil on Amazon, the search results turn up hundreds of products which list:
as one of their ingredients.
Users should not get confused by the terminology though. CBD oils differ from hemp seed oils on one major point – the presence of cannabidiol. CBD is derived from leaves and flowers of the hemp plant. Hemp seed oil is derived from the seeds of the plant. Hemp seeds do not contain CBD!
One should also note that the real ‘CBD’ oil is more expensive than the hemp seed oil. CBD deals on Amazon often mention ‘hemp extract’ on their packaging. This is done to lure the buyers who hope that the hemp extract would contain CBD. They buy these products without any idea about the CBD concentration in the oil or tincture they are buying.
Hempseed oils also offer you many health benefits. But they are not CBD oils. They cannot offer you the benefits of cannabidiol.
A wide range of CBD products is available online. Tailormade CBD products are now available for people using CBD for treating different medical conditions. Or to suit the different lifestyles of different kinds of CBD users. People who travel a lot might prefer easy-to-take and discreet CBD capsules. Those who do not like the ‘grassy’ taste of cannabis may prefer CBD candies or CBD gummies (available in different flavors). Many gym enthusiasts use CBD topicals to manage pain in muscles. Those with chronic and acute pain may like a CBD vape for the quick relief it offers.
CBD oils and tinctures taken sublingually are the top choices of CBD users though.
The two most popular types of CBD oils are:
Full-spectrum or broad-spectrum CBD oils are extracts of whole hemp plants. Besides cannabidiol, they also contain other cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. THC, the most popular cannabinoid, is infamous for giving you a high. But most other cannabinoids are non-intoxicating. Hence, most CBD oils avoid it. Legally, one can only buy CBD oil with less than 0.3% THC in most places. American states with medical marijuana laws allow the sale of CBD oils with a higher THC content. But one needs a prescription for it from a licensed doctor or medical expert.
Online, you will mostly find CBD oils with only traces of THC or THC-free CBD.
Clinical studies suggest that cannabinoids have an ‘entourage effect’ when taken together. Full-spectrum CBD oil allows you to enjoy these benefits.
New research published in bioRxiv casts doubts on the cannabinoid-terpenoid synergy. Medical literature is full of evidence that THC and CBD are effective in countering neuropathic pain when taken together. But there is little research done on cannabinoid-terpenoid synergy. The new study failed to verify that terpenoids interfere with the desensitization of cannabinoid signaling. However, researchers have noted that there might be other pathways for terpenoids to influence the outcome of cannabis interactions. Hence, full-spectrum CBD oils might still be more beneficial for the user.
Pure CBD oils or CBD isolates contain only cannabidiol. Most CBD isolate products are available in the form of powder or wax. They can be taken sublingually like normal CBD tinctures. CBD isolates almost always have zero THC. If you do not like to take a risk with unknown compounds, you may buy CBD oil.
It is vital to know how much CBD oil you should take at a time. World Health Organization (WHO) confirms that CBD is safe for humans and animals. Its report also says that CBD does not have abuse potential. Still, first-time CBD users are advised to start from the lowest recommended CBD dosage and increase it gradually.
Side-effects of CBD are minor and rare. They include symptoms like:
They are likely to fade away in 4-6 hours of using CBD.
Definite guidelines on how much CBD you should take at a time are not available. You may have to experiment a bit to find the optimal CBD dosage for you. Those who are taking regular medications should seek the advice of their doctors on CBD first.
Four things that determine how much cannabidiol you need to take are:
CBD strength refers to the amount of cannabidiol in milligrams per serving size of the product. A 30-ml WTPHemp CBD oil bottle that contains 250 mg of CBD in total has a CBD strength of:
250/30 = 8.33 mg of 1-ml oil drop
CBD tinctures come with a dropper affixed to its tip. One dropper-full of oil drop is usually of 1 ml. In this case, a 1-ml drop of oil contains 8.33 mg of CBD. The bottle recommends you to take 2-3 drops of CBD oil at a time. This is equivalent to a dose of 16.66 mg of CBD to about 25 mg of CBD at a time.
In the case of WTPHemp CBD oils, the CBD dose of 2-3 drops is much more potent than a similar dose of other close competitors. This company uses the latest nano-emulsification process to break down the large globules of CBD oils in a tiny droplet size of 25 nanometers (nm). This increases the bioavailability of the CBD oil to 97% – highest in the industry.
Typically, CBD oil is hydrophobic. But the nano CBD oil WTPHemp offers is water-soluble. This property makes it easier for the body to absorb CBD oil. It works especially well when it is taken sublingually. The mucus lining of the throat and thin skin under the tongue is always moist. It easily absorbs the tiny CBD oil droplets and passes them on to the bloodstream directly. Hence, CBD can offer quick relief in pain or anxiety.
Most CBD oils have a bioavailability of around 30%. It means that WTPHemp CBD oils and tinctures are three-times more potent than other CBD oils.
Amazon and other major e-commerce companies refuse to sell you cannabidiol. But that is not a problem. Many exclusive CBD stores online allow you to compare different types of CBD oils and their prices.
If you live in a state which allows medical or recreational use of cannabis, you can buy your CBD oil from a local store. Some of the popular places where you can find CBD are:
Many cafes and restaurants also offer to add a few drops of CBD oil to your favorite beverage for 2 or 3 extra dollars.
The problem with buying CBD oil from a local store is that you have no way of knowing the quality of the product. Some of the best CBD shops offer you expert services though. Here, medico and non-medico CBD experts:
But such shops are few and far between. Most leading CBD brands sell their products online. For example, WTP Hemp sells its own products. This company keeps a strict eye on the entire CBD oil lifecycle. It buys hemp from licensed hemp farms in Colorado.
US-grown hemp has the best quality. The United States has strict regulations in place to monitor the quality of hemp grown in the country. Each farmer, each hemp crop, and each seed needs to be registered with the authorities. You know that the American hemp is:
It is clean and safe for medical-grade CBD oils.
WTP Hemp also uses the supercritical CO2 extraction process – the best in the industry. Using the carbon-dioxide as the supercritical solvent (at the right temperature and pressure) allows the company to extract all the beneficial compounds from the hemp plant. It does not present risks like:
It offers excellent customer care services to its users – right from the point when a user is looking for the right product to after-sale services. The company offers a limited choice of CBD products because it sticks to raw and all-natural CBD agenda. It does not add any artificial flavors or unnecessary chemicals to its products.
One can check the third-party test results of each product batch of the company. It verifies the high quality of WTPHemp CBD oils.
WTPHemp ships orders to all 50 states of the US for free. It also offers you a 100% refund within 30 days if you receive a damaged CBD oil bottle or package.
Plus CBD Oil offered by Hemp Worx is another CBD company popular in the US. All its products are:
The best thing about this company is that it not only markets its products but also cares about educating their customers. It has a wider variety of products to offer than WTPHemp. But you can only buy it offline. You can buy this CBD oil at many stores in North America.
You may choose PlusCBD oils if you prefer flavored CBD oils over natural CBD oils. The PlusCBD oils come in two flavors (besides the ‘natural’ CBD oil):
The ‘raw’ CBD oil drops are available in natural and peppermint flavors.
If you are buying CBD oil to treat a medical condition, always go for the natural version of the oil. In that case, WTPHemp is a better choice because the company specializes in ‘natural’ and ‘organic’ CBD oils.
