If you are thinking about acquiring oils or cannabis concentrates for medicinal use it is important that you take into account details such as production, healthiness and effectiveness.

The first step in this process is to identify the “Differences between the nutritional HEMP oil, CBD HEMP and CBD medicinal concentrates” (Read the article); the second, follow the following recommendations to know that you are acquiring a “safe and effective” product.

1. Choose CBD Cannabis Non-Industrial Hemp Oil (CBD HEMP):

If compared to the whole plant, hemp has a low profile of cannabinoids. To extract CBD from hemp it is necessary to plant hundreds of plants. Its characteristic as a bio accumulator, or ability of the root to clean the soil, has led scholars to affirm that a final concentrate could well be contaminated.

If it was planted in a contaminated place, the CBD concentrate will also be contaminated.

Note: a study carried out by the Brightfield Group on the use of cannabis products determined that 90% of patients in the United States prefer to buy products based on flowers (female cannabis) because they are considered more effective than those that are hemp.

2. Concentrates rich in CBD:

The experts in therapeutic cannabis recommend people to look for products that include both CBD and THC. A correct administration of both is safe and more functional for all kinds of people.

When CBD and THC are together, the therapeutic effects are better since both are activated symbiotically in the body’s cannabinoid receptors.

The robust profile of terpenes in cannabis concentrates enriches its medicinal value. On the contrary, hemp does not have terpenes of any kind.

Note: Terpenes are the aromatic components of plants. They are divided into categories including: caryophyllene (black pepper), pine (pine), mercene (mango) and limonene (citrus). Read: How do terpenes benefit me?

3. Read the labels

People must know what they are consuming. A safe and quality product will show the ratio of CBD and THC per dose, extraction method, dilution in millgrams. To dilute the concentrate is usually used nutritional hemp oil, coconut oil, olive oil. Some new products adhere extracts ofmint, rosemary or others for the medicinal value of terpenes (odors).

4. Laboratory analysis:

Currently, in places like California, all products must be analyzed in laboratories to ensure consistency, cleanliness against pesticides, residues of solvents, fungi and contaminants.

In unregulated places it is impossible to achieve these characteristics at the moment. Therefore, be sure you know where your medicine comes from.

Note: Laboratory tests can become complicated even in regulated places like California.

5. Extraction method:

Avoid any product – not regulated – extracted with solvents such as Butane (BHO extration), hexane, propane or any other hydrocarbon.

This type of extractions may contain hazardous waste for the immune system of any person.

According to the medical scientific community, the safest solvent to extract cannabis for medicinal purposes is ethanol. Of course, a bad extraction with ethanol could have repercussions. Prefer those that do not have waste of any kind, those that do not smell of alcohol or that are liquid.

If you are in a regulated market, we recommend dyes of this type, laboratory extractions such as supercritical C02 or solventless.

6. Ingredients:

Check the dilution ingredients of your concentrate. Avoid artificial additives, corn syrup, trans fats, E-liquid among others.
