  1. Broad Vs. Full-Spectrum Oils\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Before we move on to what <\/span>broad-spectrum and full-spectrum<\/span><\/a> CBD oil is, we\u2019ll need to clarify where CBD comes from and <\/span>why <\/span><\/i>there\u2019s confusion surrounding broad and full-spectrum options. CBD is a chemical compound found in <\/span>Cannabis<\/span><\/i>. These compounds are known as <\/span>Cannabinoids<\/span><\/i>, and there are over one hundred of them in the Cannabis plant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Among those 100 Cannabinoids, you\u2019ll also find THC. Recognize the name? You\u2019ve probably heard of it because it\u2019s the main compound in <\/span>marijuana<\/span><\/i>, which is <\/span>also <\/span><\/i>a strain of Cannabis. That\u2019s right, marijuana <\/span>and <\/span><\/i>hemp (where your CBD comes from) are distant cousins. This explains why people misunderstand the difference between CBD and THC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Industrial hemp is <\/span>required by law <\/span><\/i>to contain 0.3% or <\/span>less <\/span><\/i>THC. That means you\u2019re not going to get <\/span>high <\/span><\/i>from your broad-spectrum oils, which adhere to this rule or contain absolutely <\/span>no <\/span><\/i>THC whatsoever. Full-spectrum oils, however, will contain the <\/span>full spectrum <\/span><\/i>of Cannabinoids, including THC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    That being said, broad-spectrum oils are perfectly legal, since they either adhere to the 0.3% rule or contain no THC. Full-spectrum oils, however…that\u2019s another story. The federal government still considers marijuana\/THC to be a controlled substance, and it\u2019s <\/span>illegal <\/span><\/i>to possess, sell, or use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Hemp Quality\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The <\/span>best organic CBD oil<\/span><\/a> comes from hemp that\u2019s domestically grown in the US and adheres to strict growing guidelines. That means no pesticides or chemicals! While some companies will use imported hemp to extract their CBD, only the <\/span>best <\/span><\/i>CBD comes from domestic organic hemp.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Hemp is what\u2019s known as a <\/span>bioaccumulator<\/span><\/i>, which means it can absorb just about anything in the soil around it. It\u2019s great for cleaning up polluted soil, but who wants <\/span>pollutants <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>chemicals <\/span><\/i>in their CBD oil? Unfortunately, not everyone adheres to the same quality guidelines when growing hemp, so CBD sourced from imported hemp is something you\u2019ll want to avoid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Let\u2019s talk about extraction methods while we\u2019re on the subject. There are generally three different methods for extracting CBD from hemp: C02 extraction, solvent (alcohol extraction), and olive oil extraction. C02 extraction is the most effective and efficient method, yielding a pure CBD extract of the highest quality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      This method is used by <\/span>most <\/span><\/i>high-quality CBD providers to ensure quality. That\u2019s not to say the other two methods aren\u2019t <\/span>valid<\/span><\/i>, but you\u2019ll notice a difference in the quality of an extract that <\/span>wasn\u2019t <\/span><\/i>extracted via the C02 method.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Gas Station\/Grocery Store CBD<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        One of the most <\/span>common <\/span><\/i>mistakes that new CBD users make is buying their CBD oil from the local gas station, retail, or grocery store. Why is this a mistake? Because the <\/span>best <\/span><\/i>CBD providers are online, and your local gas station or grocery store likely doesn\u2019t have a <\/span>clue <\/span><\/i>what good CBD oil looks like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        There are <\/span>plenty <\/span><\/i>of generic brands that claim to be sourced from high-quality hemp, provide amazing benefits, and more. The fact is, if the oil isn\u2019t independently tested by a laboratory, there\u2019s no way to guarantee its quality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        Next time you go into the grocery store, look closely at the CBD oil labels. Do they say \u201cindependently tested\u201d? Probably not! The top brands in the CBD industry test <\/span>all <\/span><\/i>of their products for quality, consistency, and potency. If you\u2019re going to spend the money, why not get the <\/span>best <\/span><\/i>value for your dollar?<\/span><\/p>\n

        Independent lab-testing provides unbiased results and allows producers to identify weak spots in their production methods. These can be fixed, potency maximized, and what you\u2019re left with is a certifiable <\/span>high-quality <\/span><\/i>CBD product. Now <\/span>that\u2019s <\/span><\/i>worth spending money on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Expecting Overnight Results\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          New CBD users often expect their CBD to produce results immediately, and this is simply unrealistic. When <\/span>CBD doesn\u2019t work for you<\/span><\/a>, it could be that you\u2019re taking the wrong dose, using a sub-par product, or, most likely, haven\u2019t built up enough in your system to have a reasonable effect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          CBD has to be in your body consistently for at <\/span>least <\/span><\/i>a few weeks before you\u2019ll start showing signs of its effects. The body is naturally attuned to accept cannabinoids, but that doesn\u2019t mean it reacts <\/span>immediately <\/span><\/i>to them. You have to build up CBD in your system <\/span>first<\/span><\/i>, and then you can tweak your dose or products if you\u2019re not experiencing any positive effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Paying Attention Only To Price\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Price isn\u2019t the only governing factor in the quality of a CBD oil or product, despite what advertisers would have you believe. However, usually, a higher-quality oil <\/span>will <\/span><\/i>cost more, simply because organic hemp is more expensive and higher-quality extraction methods cost more to utilize and upkeep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            That being said, don\u2019t\u2019 get caught up in price as your <\/span>only <\/span><\/i>consideration. Any brand you want to purchase from should be thoroughly researched and compared with its competitors. Are the products similar?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            Do they offer similar results? What does the <\/span>CBD dosage<\/span><\/a> look like? The company\u2019s service record\/commitment to quality? What do previous and current customers have to say about the brand\u2019s products?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            Only after you\u2019ve answered each of these questions should you then consider the cost of your CBD oil. If you\u2019re paying a dirt-cheap price for CBD oil, there\u2019s likely a reason for it!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
