CBD products are popular with shoppers who are curious about cannabis but may not be looking for a strong intoxicating experience. Still, CBD labels can be confusing if you are not familiar with the terms.
CBD stands for cannabidiol, one of the many compounds found in cannabis and hemp plants. Unlike THC, CBD does not create the same intoxicating high. Some products contain only CBD, while others include CBD along with small or larger amounts of THC.
When shopping for CBD, start by looking at the label. Check how many milligrams of CBD are in each serving, how many servings are in the package, and whether the product contains THC. This is especially important if you are trying to avoid intoxicating effects.
You may see CBD products in several formats, including tinctures, gummies, capsules, beverages, topicals, and pet-focused products. Each format is used differently, so make sure you understand the instructions before purchasing.
You may also see terms like full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, or isolate. These refer to how the product is made and what plant compounds may be included. Because definitions can vary by brand, the label is your best source of information.
CBD shopping should be simple, not overwhelming. Think about the format you prefer, whether you want THC included or avoided, and how easy the product is to portion.
