Hemp CBD oil drops

Hemp oil is a broad term that covers two different products. Hemp seed oil is pressed from hemp seeds and contains essentially no cannabinoids. It is a culinary and cosmetic oil, used in dressings, in skincare, and as a carrier. CBD oil, often sold as hemp extract oil, is made from hemp flower and leaf and does contain cannabinoids, with a stated milligram amount on the label. Both are usually bottled with a dropper or a pump. Cannabinoid oils are held under the tongue or stirred into food, while seed oil is used as a food or applied to skin. Read the ingredient line to tell the two apart: a listing for cannabis sativa seed oil is the seed pressing, while hemp extract or cannabidiol comes with a cannabinoid figure attached. Availability and rules vary by state.

Two tells. First, the ingredient name: cannabis sativa seed oil means the seed pressing, and it will not carry a cannabinoid figure. A CBD oil names hemp extract, cannabidiol, or a spectrum type, and states milligrams per bottle and per serving. Second, the paperwork: a cannabinoid oil should have a batch COA showing CBD, CBDA, and delta-9 content, while seed oil has no cannabinoid profile to report. Price per ounce also tends to differ sharply.

Hemp seed oil is widely sold in grocery aisles. Cannabinoid oils depend on your state, and many ship direct from the maker. Browse hemp oil on Leafly to compare labels, or check licensed dispensaries near you for in-person options.
