CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of more than 100 naturally occurring compounds called cannabinoids found in the Cannabis sativa plant. It is not intoxicating, so it does not produce the high associated with THC. That is why CBD is sold as oils, tinctures, gummies, capsules and topicals for everyday wellness.
Is CBD Legal in the United States?
Hemp-derived CBD containing no more than 0.3 percent THC is legal at the federal level under the 2018 Farm Bill, but state rules differ. Check your own state's regulations before ordering, and buy from sellers who publish batch lab reports.
How Does CBD Interact With the Body?
CBD is studied for the way it interacts with the endocannabinoid system, a signaling network involved in sleep, mood, appetite and the stress response. Research is still developing, so be wary of any product that promises to cure or treat a disease.
What Should You Look For When Buying CBD?
Key features to confirm before you order:
- Hemp grown on licensed U.S. farms and tested for pesticides, heavy metals and solvents
- A batch-specific certificate of analysis (COA) you can look up by lot number
- Clear potency labeling, with total CBD and CBD per serving listed in milligrams
- Your choice of full-spectrum, broad-spectrum or THC-free isolate
- CO2 extraction, which leaves no harsh chemical residue
- A short ingredient list with MCT coconut oil as the carrier
- Child-resistant packaging and a stated best-by or expiration date
Most CBD oils are made by extracting cannabinoids from hemp flower, then diluting the extract in a carrier oil such as MCT coconut oil or hemp seed oil. Potency is expressed in milligrams per bottle and per serving: tinctures let you adjust your serving with a dropper, while gummies and capsules deliver a fixed, pre-measured amount. Store products away from heat and direct sunlight, and compare the label with the COA to confirm the numbers match.
