1. Check references and testimonials

Check social media, Trustpilot reviews and Google Reviews to discover what other people say about the CBD brand before buying CBD oil from this company. Important to understand is also the fact that all CBD distributors are different. One company could be specialized in topical CBD products, while the other is renowned for its products against pain.

Take some time to dig deeper into the company's DNA to discover its core product offering and service related to these products. In the world of CBD, this can make ALL THE DIFFERENCE. Topics to consider are, for example:


2. Check for lab tests

Understand what you're buying. The only way you can do that is by viewing reports and certificates. See if the oil is prepared with from an organic crop, if not: what about the pesticides? What carrier oil has been used to turn pure CBD into an end product?

Furthermore, when extracting CBD from the hemp plant, it is important that they use a productive extraction process such as CO2: a low temperature in combination with a high-pressure technique. By means of this technique, the manufacturer is able to capture CO2 in a liquid state and efficiently extract the CBD and terpenes.

If a CBD brand or distributor operates correctly, it has the unprocessed substance tested in a laboratory and then turns it into a good end product.

3. When you buy online, is the website safe?

When you are looking for a webshop or online store that sells reliable CBD products, check the website for details thoroughly. Of course, this does say something about the quality in terms of delivery and other services of a shop (which is not unimportant!)


4. How to recognize quality CBD?

Nevertheless, you can recognize a reliable webshop with CBD products by the information it contains. An online CBD store that sells quality also wants to let its customer know they know what they are doing. You will easily find all information about the origin and preparation of the CBD oil. A salesman with a bit of passion will also be happy to give the customer-tailored advice. This is something that is certainly, for the starting CBD user, an important part of successful experience with CBD oil!

So if you have any doubts, feel free to send the salesperson or contact person an e-mail with your questions. Needless to say, the references from point 1 should be taken into consideration alongside this information.


5. Cheap CBD Oil: Too good to be true

Cheap is often expensive in the case of buying CBD oil. You can buy a bottle of CBD oil for 10 euros from a herbal shop of about 2.5%. However, this oil has been heated (which doesn't do the substances any good). It's thick and viscous, so it's hard to get it out of the bottle. Moreover, there's no reference to quality control anywhere; something that's nice to take a look at, right?  Who or what guarantees that there is actually a certain percentage of CBD in the oil?

When you go to the more expensive brands, you can see the quality checks on the website, and you will also find information about the origin, independent lab tests, and certificates.

6. Check THC levels

Of course, there are people who will be more than happy when there is more than the legally permitted 0.2%  in their CBD oil. Yet many of the CBD users are not. As a matter of fact, most people don't appreciate the psychoactive effect of THC.

The only way to really be sure of the percentage of THC in the oil is a test report from a laboratory. Most oils that contain too much THC just don't have that.

The verdict: Buy CBD in a local store or online?

Every self-respecting CBD webshop greatly values the safety of the products they sell. That is why they only do business with reputable producers of CBD products. These are producers who have had their products extensively tested by independent parties. This way, the CBD company can guarantee the safety and quality of the CBD oil they offer. This is what you should be looking at when you decide to try CBD Oil, topicals, or any other hemp-related product. Irrespective of buying CBD online or in a local store, the thump rule should be: Quality and safety first, service and support come at a very close second. Only then you can start to worry about pricing…
