Good source of CBD oil that is competently assayed?

[eridani]

You can get this on the internet because it isn't an intoxicant. However, a little online surfing yields the information that most of these products are extracted from Chinese industrial hemp, meaning lord only knows what else is in it. Also, just because some guy on the internet says his oil is 36% CBD doesn't mean that it's true.

1. This company is supposed to be good

(I haven't tried their products)

https://www.bluebird-botanicals.com/Why_choose_Bluebird__2_2_XI.html

-We know our hemp and CBD oil, from seed to final product. Only the highest quality, EU-certified hemp cultivars grown in ideal soil are used for our CBD oil products. The safest and most effective extraction/purification methods are used to produce our CBD oil, and we employ state-of-the-art analysis techniques.

-Varying pressures of CO2 extraction are used to extract the cannabidiol (CBD) for use in Bluebird products. CO2 extraction is a low temperature and non-solvent process that yields a robust, full spectrum hemp extract especially high in cannabidiol (CBD).

-We have a Certificate Of Analysis (COA) for every ingredient used in our store. We have multiple third party laboratories analyze our raw Hemp/CBD extract to determine its CBD and other cannabinoid content, and to evaluate its purity from potential contaminants such as pesticides, heavy metals, microbes, and mycotoxins (mold). Our final CBD oil blends also get tested by 3rd party laboratories to confirm that our recipes correlate with the labeled amounts of cannabidiol (CBD). (In February of 2015, the FDA issued warning letters to CBD companies marketing their products improperly by making health/disease claims, and many of the CBD products tested negative for any cannabinoids at all, including CBD. If you choose Bluebird you get to avoid the uncertainty of quality and consistency.)

-Bluebird Botanicals' CBD oil is 100% natural with 0% synthetic cannabidol (CBD) added. Be wary of new companies now using synthetic CBD in their products claiming it to be natural!

2. Do you think it's worth a try?

I had a stroke and am taking medicine usually used for MS patients for spasms. My right hand and arm barely work even with therapy and I'm in a wheelchair because of pain.

3. A lot of people swear by it for pain relief

I'm intending to use it for arthritis.

[ohheckyeah]

4. I did a search for reviews

and the reviews said all the CBD oil websites are scams, but the review websites could bee scams. Who knows? I guess we just try to make the best possible decisions we can.

Thanks.

6. It is best to get it directly from other patients

..., from dispensaries, or make it yourself.

There are many CBD dominant strains around now, some of them are 10:1 CBD to THC, so the patients don't get high off them, but get all the benefits of the CBD.

7. I live in

Virginia so there are no dispensaries. Bummer.

5. Works awesome for arthritis

My sister uses it for that purpose. Every night when she goes to bed, she takes a dab of oil about the size of a grain of rice. The next day she is pain free. She sleeps longer and better too.
