First Step: Deciding on the Type of CBD oil

For those that need CBD oil for conditions such as chronic pain or cancer, you will likely need CBD oil derived from the marijuana plant as it contains higher levels of THC. For this you will need a certification for medical marijuana.

Full spectrum CBD contains small amounts of THC, up to the legal limit of 0.3 percent. Broad spectrum CBD contain other terpenes and cannabinoids along with CBD but have no traces of THC. CBD isolate are derived from pure CBD which means they do not contain any other terpenes or cannabinoids
