CBD & Amazon (Should You Buy CBD Oil on Amazon?)

<h1>
<b></b><b>CBD & AMAZON (SHOULD YOU BUY CBD OIL ON AMAZON?)</b>
</h1>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">CBD is more mainstream than ever before. Now that the hemp plant is federally legal throughout the USA, people have become increasingly interested in trying CBD products. So you head to the trusty internet, search for CBD oil, and millions and millions of results pop up. You don’t want to click through each one, so you head to your go-to site for everything: Amazon. You can buy practically anything on Amazon, but buy CBD oil on Amazon? Another story.  </span></p>
<h2><b>DRUGS AND AMAZON</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So what is Amazon’s policy on ‘drugs’ or ‘drug paraphernalia’? If CBD oil on Amazon is “here one day, gone the next” type of phenomenon, is it considered a drug? Even though cannabidiol (CBD) is federally legal in the US, if hemp-derived, is it still regulated? CBD oil on Amazon is tricky, hemp oil on Amazon not so much. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2416/0371/files/1_f284e6e8-281f-4b2b-8e57-542b32b9a395_480x480.png?v=1598905357" alt="" width="401" height="366" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></span></p>
<h2><b>WHAT IS AMAZON’S POLICY ON CBD PRODUCTS?</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Buying CBD oil on Amazon has been banned from the website, since it is still a regulated substance. Amazon specifically states on their website: </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Products containing CBD, a schedule I controlled substance, including but not limited to: Rich Hemp Oil containing CBD, full-spectrum hemp oil containing CBD, or products that have been identified as containing CBD by LegitScript” can’t be sold on their site. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So why is it that you can search ‘CBD oil’ on Amazon and tons of results pop up?</span></p>
<h2><b>WHAT IS AMAZON’S POLICY ON HEMP PRODUCTS?</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Again, CBD is banned from being sold on Amazon, but hemp products aren’t, generally. As a result of this, it’s totally possible that products listed as “extracted hemp” or “hemp seed oil” can be sold without much discrepancy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s easy to get misled here, as there is a big difference between CBD oils and Hemp seed oils. CBD oil is produced from the leaves and flowers of the hemp plant itself. However, hemp seed oil is produced from the hemp seeds, which contains little to no CBD at all. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2416/0371/files/shutterstock_1145448515_480x480.jpg?v=1600885686" alt="" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since CBD is not yet FDA approved, sellers can market and label their products as “CBD”, when in all actuality, their product may not even contain any CBD!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You’ll probably notice that hemp oil isn’t as expensive as CBD oil. If you’re curious, check out the CBD oils on your next organic grocery market trip. </span></p>
<h2><b>HOW DOES AMAZON GUARANTEE THE QUALITY OF CBD PRODUCTS?</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Amazon doesn’t guarantee the quality of CBD products. Since sellers can’t necessarily sell CBD oils, they can label it as hemp oil, hemp seed oil, or hemp extract. Which, in turn, means that the descriptions of products may be inaccurate. Thus, buying CBD from Amazon is a major gamble. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you do browse for CBD oils on Amazon, you’ll most likely see that hemp oil products are listed for a very high price. You may be spending more money than you should, on a product that may not even have what you’re looking for in it. </span></p>
<h2><b>WHY DON’T MORE COMPANIES SELL CBD PRODUCTS ON AMAZON?</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many companies are transparent with their customers. If you’re willing to take on the complicated Amazon Terms of Service descriptions and regulations, then take a swing! You’ll quickly see that Amazon doesn’t technically allow for CBD to be sold on their website. Sticky business if you ask me!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2416/0371/files/shutterstock_1647229852_480x480.jpg?v=1600885796" alt="" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If companies do try and sell their products on Amazon, they will typically use very vague language and may be kicked off at any time if their identity is identified.</span></p>
<h3><b>PROS</b></h3>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Companies can’t distinguish themselves without running into violating Amazon’s rules.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Scammers may try and sell their products on Amazon, claiming their “hemp seed oil” is real. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">As marijuana and hemp regulations are different around the US and the world, Amazon has to ensure it’s following all the legalities to the T.</span></li>
</ol>
<h3><b>CONS</b></h3>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since so many people use Amazon daily, people may feel more comfortable purchasing a new product from this reputable company.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Companies aren’t able to expand their business and services to platforms like Amazon due to regulations and rules.</span></p>
</li>
</ol>
<h2><b>SHOULD I BUY CBD ON AMAZON?</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We highly recommend <strong>not</strong> buying CBD on Amazon. Like we mentioned above, it’s a gamble to shop for CBD on the Amazon platform. Even if you find hemp seed oil or hemp extract oil, you most likely won’t know what ingredients are in the products.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Doing your homework and navigating the open seas of web pages is well-worth your time and well-being when it comes to selecting a) a reputable company and b) quality CBD products. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2416/0371/files/shutterstock_1681131049_480x480.jpg?v=1600885508" alt="" width="424" height="331" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></span></p>
<h2><b>HOW DO I SHOP FOR QUALITY CBD?</b></h2>
<h3><b>4 EASY STEPS TO FOLLOW</b></h3>
<h3><b>1. HEAD TO THE INTERNET OR ASK AROUND</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By searching ‘CBD oil’ on the internet, it may be overwhelming, but doable! You can also search ‘CBD oil third-party lab testing’ or ‘CBD oil with certificates of analysis’. These keywords may help narrow your search down. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Also, talking to friends, checking out social media advertisements, and checking out dispensaries are a great way to get a personalized opinion before you purchase something on the internet. </span></p>
<h3><b>2. ASK ABOUT THEIR CANNABIS </b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Does the company organically grow and farm their cannabis plants? Are their farms located in the US? Do they use pesticides or chemicals in the growing process? What type of processes do they use for extraction?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These questions do make a difference, I mean, you want a quality CBD product that is organic, non-GMO, and farmed with state-of-the-art processing, right? Right. </span></p>
<h3><b>3. ASK FOR CERTIFICATES OF ANALYSIS</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is a major and necessary step to separate your “CBD companies” from reputable CBD companies.  By asking companies for their certificates of analysis for their CBD products helps you figure out A) if the company can easily provide these for you because they have a logistical backing and B) what’s in their products. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This will help you see what is exactly in the products you’re interested in as well as what amount and concentration of each ingredient is present. </span></p>
<h3><b>4. ASK IF THEY DO IN HOUSE AND THIRD-PARTY LAB TESTING</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s another solid question to ask! Third-party laboratory testing helps ensure the quality of the company’s CBD products. Most companies do in-house laboratory testing to assess the quality of their products, which is great! However, by doing third-party lab testing, this provides the company with an outside confirmation of the quality of their products. </span></p>
<h2><b>WHAT QUESTIONS SHOULD I ASK MYSELF WHEN SHOPPING FOR QUALITY CBD?</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Like we mentioned above, asking the right questions to these CBD companies makes all the difference! But before starting your CBD navigation journey, ask yourself these questions:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">What type of CBD do I want? Oil? Topical? Powder?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">What degree of potency do I want for my CBD product? 1000 mg of CBD? 200 mg?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">What do I want to take CBD for? Anxiety? General well-being? Headaches?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">What am I willing to pay for a quality CBD product? $80? $200?</span></li>
</ul>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These are just some of the questions we’ve generated based on what we take into account when deciding on purchasing CBD products. You may have other important questions to answer for yourself before you start looking. </span></p>

<h2><b>HOW DOES NANOCRAFT ENSURE QUALITY CBD PRODUCTS?</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the saying goes, “quality over quantity.” You want a product that not only provides you what you want, but meets what you need.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All products from Nanocraft are sources from industrial hemp that is grown legally right here in the United States. One of the only ways to separate quality products from the subpar stuff out there, is to listen to reputable, reliable outlets that you know you can fully trust. We source our raw hemp in nutrient-rich soil in the beautiful state of Colorado. Our farmers operate under strict guidelines and use only 100% ethical and organic practices.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2416/0371/files/trust-symbols-3_480x480.jpg?v=1564083957" alt="" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="350" height="111"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We use the highest grade carbon dioxide (CO2) equipment to extract the active, CBD-rich hemp from the plant material. We are 100% organic, herbicide, pesticide, fertilizer, GMO, and chemical free. We take full advantage of a state-of-the-art process while farming. Not only does this ensure that our products are safe, regulated, and unsurpassed in their consistency and potency, but it also enhances the quality of our natural proprietary strains.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2416/0371/files/shutterstock_1283048920_480x480.jpg?v=1600886446" alt="" width="398" height="311" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every single batch goes through a rigorous testing process in our in-house laboratory. When the batch is cleared, it receives a Certificate of Analysis and a Certificate of Quality Assurance that we make readily available to our customers. In addition, we use third-party laboratories to assess and confirm the certificates. Third-party testing isn’t done just once in a great while, we test on a monthly basis to ensure our products are pure and consistent. Ready for the great news? To date, not one batch has failed to meet our unprecedented testing standards!</span></p>
