Buying quality CBD

Buying quality CBD

January 24, 2020

CBD oil is a fantastic supplement, and it’s growing from strength to strength, with its popularity continuing to spread across the globe. However, with the significant development of CBD comes a darker side in the form of unscrupulous scam-artists trying to rip off consumers with fake products that can be ineffective and dangerous.

It’s not always easy for customers to determine which brands of CBD and product claims are trustworthy. With the continued rise in popularity of the ever-popular CBD oil, new brands and vendors are promising to offer the best, high-quality supplement on the market. However, there are few regulations in place to help monitor and regulate these claims.

CBD OFFERS THE BENEFITS WITHOUT THE HIGH

This is because these types of cannabis contain less THC, the chemical that causes psychoactive effects in humans. To put it simply, THC is what causes people to feel 'high' or 'stoned'. However, on the other hand, CBD offers many of the health benefits of medical marijuana, but without the 'buzz', making it more versatile and less controversial to both the users and the community.

However, first and foremost, quality matters. Low-grade CBD oil (sometimes referred to as snake oil) may not offer the same levels of benefit provided by top-rated CBD oil because of a variety of factors, and it could even contain harmful toxins.

HIGH-QUALITY CBD

Want to identify high-quality CBD oil? Here are 3 ways you can...

1. MANUFACTURING MATTERS

To be able to identify high-quality CBD oil can be tough due to the CBD industry not being around for long as well as a lack of legal regulations that oversee the manufacturing process. What this essentially means is that different CBD brands could have different extraction methods in order to process CBD oil from hemp.

It’s essential to research the vendor you plan to buy CBD from before making a purchase to purchasing any CBD oil, research the vendor’s production methods. At alqemist, we use organic, pharmaceutical- grade ingredients and the safest modes of extracting CBD for human consumption.

2. CHECK HOW MUCH THC IS PRESENT

THC is a cannabinoid present in both marijuana and agricultural hemp; it’s the substance that causes a psychoactive effect on the body, making users feel ‘high’ or ‘stoned‘. The reason why hemp is used over marijuana when extracting CBD oil is due to the low levels of THC in CBD, making it perfect for CBD oil processing.

The optimal level of THC present in CBD oils should not exceed an amount of 0.2%. At alqemist, you can be sure that all our CBD products contain a level of 0.2% or below. The oil and the spray are even THC free.

3. TRUST OUR BRAND

While most brands want to deliver high-quality products, not all companies maintain this same level of integrity as we at alqemist do. CBD regulations and enforcements are going to increase as time progresses. So, at this point in time, make sure to choose a trusted and reputable brand only. Also, there is an EU hemp variety list which serves as a benchmark for regulation.
