CBD is short for Cannabidiol. It is one of the main components of the Cannabis plant, along with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Unlike THC however, CBD has zero psychoactive effects, meaning that it can’t produce a high.
Cannabis has myriad health benefits and can be used to treat everything, from diabetes to epilepsy. If you want to try Cannabis but don’t want to experience the high associated with it, then CBD is for you.
This article will tell you how you can find a legitimate CBD product that works:
Product Strength
If you are buying CBD, the first thing that you need to do is to find a product with a strength that’s right for you. If you have decided to buy CBD online, then it will be easier to find high-strength products. In addition to being easier to find products, it will also be easier to research individual products. The product’s manufacturer should have information about their product’s strength either on the product’s individual page or in another area of their website. If they don’t then you can always reach out to them directly and ask them, either by email or phone.
Source of Hemp
The next thing that you need to think about is the source of the hemp that has been used to create the product. While it’s perfectly fine to buy and consume CBD products that don’t use organic hemp, if you care about your health and the environment, it’s definitely recommended. Organic hemp products are typically more expensive because it is more laborious to grow. With that said, most retailers nowadays accept payment methods like PayPal and Klarna. Both of these services allow you to stagger your payments into comfortable monthly installments, allowing you to buy more.
Extraction Methods
Extraction methods are also very important. Some CBD manufacturers use harsh solvents to extract CBD from the hemp plate. Sometimes, solvent residues can be found in CBD products. While the amounts found are usually not enough to cause harm, it’s still not a great idea to be consuming solvents. You can usually find out how a manufacturer extracts their CBD by browsing their website. Ideally, any CBD product you buy should be extracted using non-solvent methods. By avoiding solvents, you will be able to maximize the benefits that you derive from CBD use.
Company Reputation
The reputation of the company that you are dealing with is just as important as anything else suggested here. The reason for this is that if a company’s reputation is bad across the board, it is usually a sign of them not taking their customers seriously, and not being committed to providing them with a quality service. The best way to find out about a company’s reputation is to network with other CBD users and ask them for their opinions. You can find CBD users on forums like Reddit, websites like Quora, and internet chatrooms. Always take any recommendations found on these sites with a grain of salt. Conduct your own research before making a decision.
Reading Reviews
You should always read a company’s reviews before you buy their products, just so that you can be sure they deserve your hard-earned cash. Try to avoid reviews posted on the website itself, and rather, read reviews published on Trust Pilot and Google Reviews. Additionally, it’s sometimes a good idea to check out reviews on independent review sites and blogs. While sometimes the posts published on these sites can be sponsored, more often than not they aren’t. Finding a blog or independent review site to use shouldn’t be difficult.
Consumption Method
The method of consumption is also very important. How do you intend upon taking CBD? Do you want to take it orally in oil form or do you want to eat it, as an edible? There are literally thousands of different CBD products and many different ways of taking them. You should also do your research first to find a method that’s right for you. You can find CBD in edible, pill, water-soluble, and oil forms. It can also be purchased as a mist spray.
THC Inclusion
Finally, while we mentioned in this article’s introduction that CBD does not contain THC, it is still possible to buy CBD that does have THC. This type of CBD is called “full-spectrum” and it is much stronger and much more powerful. This type of CBD is a very effective painkiller, compared to codeine in efficacy. The easiest way to find full-spectrum CBD products is to key “full-spectrum” in on Google. When you have found a retailer that does offer it, it might be worth getting in touch with them and asking for information on their products. Try to ascertain the exact THC content, as well as what the general consensus regarding the product is among customers.
CBD is a wonder drug, with lots of benefits. If you want to take it then you need to find the product that’s right for you. The best way to do this is to read reviews, conduct extensive research, network with other CBD users and ask for their advice.
