10 Things You Need To Know Before You Buy Cannabis Oil Online

Looking to buy cannabis oil online? You’re not alone. A study conducted by Brightfield research found that about 60% of all CBD sales were conducted online in 2017. The rapid rise in CBD popularity is highlighted by the 55% market growth per year.

The cannabis market is poised to become a multi-billion dollar market by the end of 2020 and with all the CBD hype, people are scrambling to either be a part of the potential golden green mine or are trying to navigate through the maze of CBD companies and products.

There has been an explosion of CBD websites, products and companies since the beginning of 2018 and despite the accessibility of CBD products being easier than ever before, it is even more challenging to find a pure product amidst the unregulated market.

Finding CBD oil and CBD products online can be tough, especially if you are looking for a quality product manufactured by a company that cares about more than just profits.

To assist you in your Cannabis oil search, here is a guide to help you navigate through the online CBD world.

Firstly, you need to be sure that CBD oil is right for you. It is important to remember that there are no official medical benefits associated with CBD oil, even if it has demonstrated remarkable potential. The rising popularity comes with rising anecdotal reports that across a broad range of health issues. Even though the rising tide of people enjoying CBD may be a more recent surge, the fact is that people have been using cannabis as a medicine for thousands of years. And it was only at the beginning of the 1900’s that marijuana began to be outlawed.

By the time 1970 rolled around, marijuana was scheduled as a Schedule I drug under Federal Law along with heroin and methamphetamines. This scheduling also came with a tight restriction on studying the plant for medicinal value. Fast forward to April 2015 and 23 states across America had turned the tables with legal medicinal use of marijuana and research has since been reignited.

However, because marijuana is still restricted scientists have a challenging time obtaining the plant for medical research. Although there are hundreds of studies and thousands of anecdotal reports about medicinal marijuana, there is still much to find out about cannabis and, more specifically, how to use the plant as an alternative medicine.

In 2014, a California based study suggested that 90% of cannabis users use it to treat a serious illness or disorder.

Cannabis, CBD oil, CBD topical cream and just about any kind of cannabis product is used for the following ailments and conditions:

• Pain management
• Treat inflammation and inflammatory diseases
• Treatment of MS
• Treat epilepsy
• Assist with sleeping disorders
• Treat cancer as well as symptoms resulting from chemotherapy
• Treat neurological disorders
• Skin problems
• Relieve Anxiety and depression
• And many more

As you can see, cannabis is used for a variety of conditions and sometimes it is used just as a general health and beauty supplement.

If you are looking at purchasing CBD oil online ask these questions to find the purest CBD oil and the highest level of experience:

Where did the cannabis come from?

And more importantly, what type of soil was it grown in. Look out for cannabis oil that is sourced from cannabis that is local and organic. If the soil contains unwanted substances, this could jeopardize the quality of the oil and bring toxic metals into the oil as well.

What cannabinoids are in the oil?

Some CBD oils containTHC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) as well. THC is a psychoactive cannabinoid that can create a ‘high’ experience. All legal Hemp CBD oils need to have less than 0.3% THC. If you are buying in an area where all types of marijuana are legal, make sure that you know what cannabinoids are in the oil.

There are even some CBD oils that are completely free of THC. Do your research and also check out what is in the oil before you buy your CBD oil.

Check out the CBD concentration

Different CBD oils carry different CBD concentrations. If you are just starting out with CBD oil, look for an oil that has between 250mg per fl oz to 1000mg per fl oz.

• If you need to manually work out the concentration then simply take the total amount of CBD and divide it by the volume of the bottle (in ounces)
• e.g.: 1500mg CBD / 4 ounce = 375mg/oz

Third Party Lab Results

When you are looking for CBBD oil online, you want to find the purest oil out there. Find an oil that has third-party lab results ready and available for you to view. This will help you to find the purest, high-quality CBD oil on the market. If companies are reluctant to offer third-party lab results, they usually have something to hide.

Look out for the following test results:

• Heavy metals
• Foreign matter
• Residual solvents
• Bacteria
• Pesticides
• Cannabinoid potency
• The third party lab should be in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2005

Total CBD amount

This one is simply because most companies put this on the label itself. If the label says “1 000mg CBD oil” then it generally means that there is that amount of CBD oil in the bottle.

Extraction method

There are various different methods that companies use to extract CBD from the plant. The one that you want to look out for is the CO2 Extraction method. This method is the most commonly used method and produces a high-quality CBD extract.

Contact Details

Find a CBD oil company that offers their contact details. It is a good idea to actually call the number too- talking to the company will give you an idea of the quality and integrity of the product. There are many products that list phone numbers but when you try to reach them they are almost impossible to reach. These are the companies that are usually offering CBD products that are subpar.

Legal compliance

The health and wellness supplement industry is a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States and is largely unregulated. This means that there are plenty of shadowy businesses and companies riding the wave just for the profit. The trick is to weed them out. You do this by looking for companies that offer full legal transparency and have information that is easy to obtain.

Avoid companies with sweeping claims

Making a health claim about CBD products is a violation according to the FDA. Avoid companies that list sweeping claims on their website. While CBD oil has shown significant potential, there are no official health benefits approved by the FDA or the DEA.

Budget is not always best

While we all want to save money on products there are some things that are worth digging a bit deeper into the budget for. High-quality CBD oil production is not a cheap process. It is best to avoid CBD oils that seem too cheap to be true

CBD oil is gaining momentum in the wellness world and chances are the hype won’t be dying down anytime soon. Always keep yourself updated with new studies and talk to your trusted healthcare provider if you want to begin using CBD oil to treat a medical symptom or ailment.
