5 Dangers of CBD Oil For Sale on Amazon

Not only us but the media has found over 10 problems with the CBD Oil for sale on Amazon. We have made a list of the top 5. As we see more and more people enjoying the benefits of CBD oil, we are seeing it becoming increasingly available to buy. With the passing of the Farm Bill last year, we have seen more CBD products on the market and in more diverse places.

CBD – or cannabidiol – is a compound which is found naturally in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC (or tetrahydrocannabinol), it won’t make you high, is non-addictive and is safe to use. CBD interacts with the human endocannabinoid system. Which is the system whose main function is to keep the body regulated and working properly.

By taking CBD, scientists believe that you can keep your endocannabinoid system working properly and boost your general health and well-being and this is why it is becoming so popular.

With the availability of CBD products turning more widespread and the fact that it is easy to buy, well, anything on Amazon, it might seem to make sense to buy it there. However, this isn’t such a good idea – for a number of reasons.

Here are 5 of them:

1.    Amazon doesn’t allow the sale of CBD oil

Due to legal grey areas, Amazon is still a bit behind the times with CBD, and don’t allow its sale – although it is completely legal to buy all over the US and many other countries around the world. Frankly, any company who is going to try to break these rules could also be breaking other rules and are probably not the kind of company that you would want to do business with.

2.    ‘Counterfeit’ CBD oil

The truth is that good quality, reputable CBD brands respect the rules and this why they don’t sell on Amazon. Basically this means that if you think that you are getting a quality, reputable brand, it is probably a counterfeit. In this case, the counterfeit ‘CBD oil’ is more than likely of very low quality, being passed off as something good.

3.    Low-quality CBD oil

Unfortunately, due to the fact that the CBD industry is a new and relatively unregulated industry, the potential exposure to unscrupulous ‘CBD producers’ is high. This means that there is a chance that people are trying to sell very low-quality CBD oil. So unfortunately they often contain little to no CBD at all or illegal levels of THC, and being passed off as a higher quality ‘CBD oil’.

4.    Misleading Labelling

If you are buying CBD oil it is important that you thoroughly check the labelling, Shady companies will often add misleading labelling to their products – for example, using the word ‘hemp’. Although CBD comes from hemp, it certainly doesn’t mean that there is CBD in the bottle! Hemp seed oil is made from cold-pressed hemp seeds and has no CBD in it. If you are going to buy CBD oil, make sure that you check the quantity of CBD that is in it.

5.    “Hemp Seed Oil” Trick

You might be able to get some CBD oil – with CBD in it – on Amazon if you buy a product made from ‘hemp extract’. As long as you re getting hemp extract, you may well be getting some CBD. However, some companies advertise their product as ‘hemp oil’ or “hemp seed oil” to get around Amazon’s rules. They are not giving you the important information you need about exactly what is included in their product. In other words, you won’t know what you will be taking.

Using the term ‘hemp oil’ deliberately leaves you unclear as to whether you are getting hemp seed oil – packed full of goodness such as protein, omega-3 and omega-6, but with certainly no CBD, or CBD hemp oil – the CBD oil which is rich in cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. And you can rest assured that whatever you get – if they are deliberately being ambiguous on the label – the contents will be of poor quality. Surely even a blind man can see that. **(Hemp seed oil has NO CBD in it. So it is more like olive oil)**

Conclusion: CBD + Amazon = Trouble

It is unfortunate that the government and businesses like Amazon are lagging behind, both in the regulation and also the sale of CBD products. However, this means that if you are going to buy it, you need to be able to ensure that you are buying the best products available.

Only buy from reputable CBD producers, and also make sure that they can show you copies of an independent lab’s certificate of analysis (COA’s) for the batch of CBD that you are buying. You should then check that the quantity given matches that on the bottle.

So in short if you choose to forgo the information above and still buy the cbd oil for sale on Amazon, then buyer please be VERY Aware. Only once that you are happy that you have what you think you have, should you buy and take the CBD oil. Hopefully you sill start to feel the benefits.
