Know What You Buying

Do you know what you buying? Once a completely banned substance, cannabis has made its way into our everyday lives in the form of CBD oil - extracts taken from the plant parts of hemp that offer relief from a variety of mental and physical health problems without the hard-hitting dosage of full-blown cannabis.

From drinking CBD infused cocktails to buying cannabis treats for your dog what was once seen as a controversial substance has become a well-established part of popular health culture.

With now hundreds of different CBD suppliers on the market, finding and buying the right CBD product for yourself can prove to be very difficult.

If you’ve done any research into CBD oil products and brands, you’ve likely seen the terms “hemp” and “industrial hemp” used interchangeably. And you may be wondering if there is a difference between them?

The short answer is no. Hemp is a cannabis sativa plant with only trace amounts of THC, the psychoactive ingredient typically associated with marijuana. The term “industrial hemp” is just a more descriptive synonym of “hemp” regarding its many uses.

There are some products labelled hemp oil that have CBD in them and some that do not. To know whether something labelled hemp oil has CBD in it, you need to understand the difference between hemp seed oil and CBD oil before you buy.

Final Thoughts

• Is the CBD content not clear to you? Reach out to the company selling the product and specifically ask them if their product contains CBD or not.
• Look at third-party lab reports that are available from all reputable sellers of CBD products to confirm that it contains CBD.
• Buy a CBD product from companies that have been vetted for product quality, customer service and feedback from customers.
