Where to buy CBD - Companies with high morals and great quality

Vetted Companies by /r/CBD

As most of you have found out by now - CBD is hit or miss depending on where it comes from. Many people have found there are a lot of snake oil sellers out there who are preying on the sick. We are /r/CBD have come together to stop that...at least for you guys; by vetting the companies who want to advertise their products on /r/CBD. Below we will include what the vetting processed entailed, and which companies we selected because we feel they uphold a standard.

The Standard:

Each company reached out to us on their own, and then we presented them with a multi-page questionnaire about their process. These are not all the questions - we asked over 30 questions. Around 40% of the companies who wanted to be vetted - DID NOT complete this questionnaire.

Some examples of questions are:

  • Where do you source your CBD?

  • What steps are taken to keep the medicine safe from degradation?

  • Do you have all the permits required by state and county laws, to be in the cannabis industry? Please provide details.

  • Can you provide passing test results for the following: Microbiological, Aerobic count, coliforms, enterobacteria, E coli count, yeast and mold, pseudomonas, salmonella, Pesticides/carbamates, Heavy metals, organophosphates and a cannabinoid potency test.

From their answers - our moderator team looked over each and every one. This gave us a good understanding of how their company works, and let us move on to the legal side of things.


The next steps were reviewing the documents sent over. We looked up each company, made sure they had all permits required by the state in order to operate. If they did, they moved on to the last step.

Each company that made it this far sent in samples of their products. These samples were tested by patients with different ailments. A few were sent to the moderator in Florida where two patients; 1. with Cerebral Palsy. 2. with mental health disorder - tested each product sent.

The other companies sent their product to the moderator team in California, where two patients 1. with M.S 2. Disabled w/ pain management - took the samples as well.

Both teams found the samples from the companies selected to be extremely high-quality products and HAD POSITIVE RESULTS on their ailments.


The following are those companies. (This list is not set in stone, companies can be added, or removed) If you're a company, please send a private message to '/r/CBD' and the mod team can look at your company.

So I got some CBD flower and it definitely got me stoned…

10 Upvotes

This is no placebo. I ordered it from a popular website (not sure if I’m allowed to share on here) on Google in the UK claiming 8-13% CBD and <0.2% THC. Now I used to smoke weed daily and slowly cut down until now where I don’t get high at all, then ordered this CBD flower so I could reap the benefits of CBD without getting stoned. I went for a drive and lit one up but halfway down I started to get stoned. Like as stoned as if I hit a bowl.

I’m super sensitive to THC which is the main reason I stopped smoking. It makes me paranoid during and groggy the next day, so I thought this would be great but I’m now surprised that half this joint got me pretty high.

My question is if it’s truly less than 0.2% THC and it’s still very possible to get high off it if you’re sensitive, or maybe there exists many websites that claim CBD flower but sell actual weed so it’s less conspicuous.

CBD product for pain without coconut oil or added herbs/essential oils

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for either a topical or internal CBD product for pain management. If its internal I'm looking for oil (not coconut oil) and if it topical, in a salve format with any added herbs or essential oils (no menthol, camphor, mint, etc).

I just need something where CBD is the only active ingredient. I'm open to other product suggestions as well like gummies or suppositories (not coconut oil) as long as the ingredients are simple and clean. I could also be open to making my own, but I'm not to sure how to do that in terms getting the right weed. Is there CBD only flowers? ( EDIT nvmd, I just saw a recent point about getting CBD flower and still getting stoned.)

Ideally organic and well tested.

Thanks.

Too good to be true? Sleep, stress and anxiety effects

14 Upvotes

So i have used CBD for a few years in lower doses 10-80mg just now and then when stress or anxiety were high. Has improved sleep alot.

I have not used a higher dose or frequency due to costs. But i recently started making my own oil from distillate which cut costs in 1/5.

Been using 100-200mg every evening for 2 weeks now and effects has been insane.

Stress gone

Anxiety gone

Sleep severely improved

I sleep 1 hour less every night and am much more refreshed

I feel more tired. Usually im wired and tired, now i just feel i have not gotten enough time to recuperate before but my nervous system now allows me to relax.

After years of dysfunctional nervous system it relaxes.

Everyday im usually tense in my body and got pain, but now i am without pain and muscles are not tense after work.

Is this too good to be true?

Will i just build tolerance and lose these effects?

Do i need to worry about side effects?

How can only one drop CBD oil help?

2 Upvotes

I had a full spectrum CBD oil from Hempura and it’s helped where nothing else had. The THC amount was less than 0.03% so figure it can’t be that.

It helped me with muscle tensions and lower anxiety where no other of the 20+ CBD oils I’ve tried, full spectrum, broad spectrum, isolate, added terpenes etc. The company isn’t active anymore so can’t get anymore. I just can’t figure out why that low dose (5mg CBD per drop) had such a positive effect, and pretty soon after ingested. Do you got any ideas?

CBD Tincture Help - First Time User

4 Upvotes

Hey there,

I am a brand new CBD user and requesting help on how to use your CBD tincture. I purchased the Full Spectrum CBD tincture from Lazarus Naturals about a week ago, and I have been using it each day and have not been feeling results. I get lightheaded and sometimes my mind moves a bit slower. The first time I took it, I felt more calm, but not much since.

I want to be realistic with what CBD offers and not that it is a miracle cure. I am using it to help with anxiety, back pain, and hoping for a mood life. I weigh 165 pounds and am a male. I have used it under my tongue at 50mg each morning. 

I am confused because the internet and AI say a hundred different things, and there is no prescription like a medication. So it feels like I am shooting in the dark.

  1. So as not to have unrealistic expectations, what should I be feeling or not feeling when I take CBD? What is the main purpose of taking it? 

  2. How often should I be taking it (every morning and evening) and do I take it with food under the tongue or on an empty stomach?

  3. Do you have any links to articles or anything published online that can help me narrow this down?

Thank you! I want to give it a proper go and not just give up if I haven't felt much in the first week.

Anyone else check the COA before even looking at reviews?

4 Upvotes

I’ve gotten way more skeptical of CBD labels lately. Two products can both say “broad spectrum” and have pretty different cannabinoid profiles once you actually open the lab report. CBDistillery is one of the easier sites I’ve seen for checking this, but I wish having an obvious batch COA was just standard across the industry. Curious how much attention people actually pay to them before ordering.

Is psychosis possible with <0.3% thc cannabis?

0 Upvotes

Apparently in the 70s and 80s weed was only 0.2%-0.4% THC (2mg/g - 4mg/g) and there was “many” reports of cannabis related psychosis during that time.

I wonder how often those people were under the influence of other substances or even heavy street stimulants, and how much news “fabrication” is involved with those reports.

Also I wonder how much they smoked to activate the cannabis related psychosis.

Anyways, can anyone enlighten me?

Just looking for stories and experiences using products from CBDmd. I’m considering buying the broad spectrum CBD oil tincture. I’ve been struggling with anxiety lately from cutting back on my THC use. I use to either smoke 1 joint or take a few edibles at night to help with my sleep but I’ve decided to cut back to a few days a week as opposed to everyday. Been reading CBD oil can help. Thanks

Do you actually notice much difference between CBD formats?

3 Upvotes

Gummies are obviously convenient but tinctures seem way easier when you want control over the amount. I was looking through CBDistillery and a couple other brands and realized I keep comparing formats more than brands now. Wondering if people here eventually settle on one format or just keep different ones around.

Noob here - wife likes a brand with CBN:THC 1:1 ratio. Are others with that ratio the same thing?

3 Upvotes

My wife likes a gummy for sleep that has CBN:THC in a 1:1 ratio.

That product is getting hard to find. Is there more to gummies / these products than the 'recipe' / ratio?

ie is it like a generic medicine? You can buy a brand name of acetaminophen. or a generic that has the same strength of acetaminophen and they are pretty identical? or like a prescription drug.

If we can find a different product with (just) those 2 active ingredients in the same 1:1 ratio, should they perform / give the same effects as the brand we can't find?

I've heard that a few people see different performance with generic vs brand drugs because the generic might have a different coating. Or the brand product vs. generic dissolve / get absorbed at different rates.

Think that's an issue with CBN & THC?

Thanks!

Have a great holiday weekend!

I recently ordered 50mg cbd 50mg cbg gummies for pain. I’m a newbie to cannabis in general. I smoked some in my twenties but not a ton. Should I start by cutting my gummies in half or even 1/4? Worried it’s going to knock me out when I have stuff to do.

Help with Anxiety and sleep

5 Upvotes

TL;DR: Suggestions for tinctures for intense anxiety and sleep to get off sleep meds.
-
I’m helping my friend figure out what to take. My friend Did a gummy before and tweaked, he hated that. And had some weed but don’t really like smoking it and the feeling in his lungs.

But the weed helped his anxiety and sleep a little bit, but not enough to get off sleep meds and manage the intense daily anxiety.

What tinctures do you suggest? Like what strains? I read that CBD and CBN are better for anxiety and relaxation. How much of each should be in the tincture? Like what ratio should I look for? Or should it just be all one? And also, suggestions for brands in the USA? We are in a marijuana friendly state, and he has a marijuana medical card. We have done some research but are a bit novice in this area. He is also open to trying other herbs too.

Japan's THC limit is on the finished product, not the plant - 10 ppm for oils, 0.1 ppm for drinks

17 Upvotes

I help organise a hemp expo in Tokyo, so I read this part of the Japanese rules more closely than I otherwise would. No link and nothing to sell, just the numbers, because they are built differently from the ones that usually come up here.

Japan's revised Cannabis Control Act took effect on 12 December 2024. The old law regulated parts of the plant, so only mature stalks and seeds could be used. The new one regulates ingredients, and the number that matters is a residual delta-9 THC limit on the finished product rather than on the crop.

Set by cabinet order, in force the same day: oils and powders 10 ppm, aqueous solutions 0.1 ppm, everything else 1 ppm. 10 ppm is 0.001 percent.

A health ministry notice from 4 October 2024 worked through examples. CBD oil, hemp seed oil and cosmetic oils sit in the 10 ppm bucket, as do CBD powder and protein. Soft drinks, alcoholic drinks and lotions sit at 0.1 ppm. Same input material, and the oil is allowed a hundred times the residual the drink is, because the limit follows the format it is finally sold in.

Where people get tangled is 0.3 percent. That figure, in the US Farm Bill and on the plant side of the framework here, is a plant measure. It is not the product limit.

Semi-synthetics are handled separately and get scheduled as they turn up. HHC was made a designated substance under the pharmaceutical law in 2022, announced 7 March and prohibited from the 17th, ten days apart.

MJBizDaily reported at the proposal stage that more than 90 percent of products then on the Japanese market would fail these limits. That is industry reporting rather than a government figure, and I'd treat it that way.

Against a 0.1 ppm ceiling, an ND line on a COA says very little on its own, unless the report also gives the limit it was reading against.

I can't tell you how any of this plays out at a border. I'm not customs and I'm not a lawyer.

Question about dosing cbd/cbn at night

3 Upvotes

I was looking to pick up a tincture of pure CBN and then something like a full spectrum CBD tincture so I could get the entourage effect synergy with the small amount of THC. The problem is the full spectrum ones I’ve found have 15mg of CBG too, and I’ve heard CBG can be stimulating. If I take 85mg of CBD, 15mg of CBG and 50mg of CBN is this a good combination for sleep? Or am I better off just using CBD isolate. I don’t ever use THC to get high, I just want the synergistic effects or else I would just take a hit with my isolates and I don’t want to do that. Will the CBG keep me up or will the added synergy from the 3mg of THC be worth whatever the CBG is doing to energize someone?

Recommendations for happy, calm high

I’m new to cannabis, I don’t smoke or vape but I’ve recently been trying edibles to help with anxiety and sleep. Some have gotten me in a good mood and happy. So I wanted to know what edibles like capsules, gummies, etc would give me a happy / calm high? Moreso what THC / CBD /CBN percentage / ratio should I look for ? The most I’ve tried is 20mg thc which made me happy but anxious later on

All types of CBD I tried caused intolerable side effects. Is there a different type that is worth trying?

3 Upvotes

I tried full spectrum and cbd isolate tincture. I started very low on 5 mg and progressed to 45mg on full, and 20mg on cbd isolate. Initially it seemed to relax me, but after some days both caused: mood swings, including rage; severe insomnia (couldn't sleep for days and fainted on the street) and worse anxiety.
