When it comes to buying CBD flower online, you understandably want to be safe. Not all suppliers are reputable and not all CBD flower is high quality. Before you make a purchase, whether it’s your first time or you’re trying out a new strain or two from a different site, here’s what you need to know to stay safe.
Research the Seller
Your first step when buying CBD flower online is to research the seller. You’ll want to choose a seller with positive customer reviews, not just of the company itself, but of the different strains and products they sell.
Look for a seller that provides detailed information about their CBD flower, including where it’s grown, lab testing and CBD content. Third party lab testing can tell you about the potency and quality of the CBD flower before you buy.
A reliable and trustworthy seller should have numerous ways of contacting them, including by phone, email, and optionally, live chat, to answer any questions you may have at any stage of the process.
Third Party Lab Testing
Lab testing and certification by a third party is an extremely important part of buying CBD flower safely online. This may seem like an extra unnecessary step, but reputable sellers do this to not only ensure quality products, but to give their customers added peace of mind.
When you look at a COA or Certificate of Analysis from your CBD flower seller, you should see several important points of information, including:
- The cannabinoid profile (how much CBD content the flower contains)
- Contaminants detected including pesticides, heavy metals, or mold
- Independent verification of the potency of the strain
Make Sure the Seller is Legally Compliant
According to the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill, CBD flower sold online must contain 0.3% or less of THC. However, local laws between states may vary, so it’s important to check the laws in your local area to make sure it’s legal to purchase and possess CBD flower.
Know Your Strains
If you’re new to the world of CBD flower, you should know that different CBD strains will have different effects depending on what you’re looking for. Some are ideal for relaxing. Others are perfect for helping you focus or giving you a boost of energy. At Plain Jane, you’ll find we offer a number of different CBD flower strains for various needs, including popular favorites like Sour Space Candy, Lifter and Elektra.
Check Product Descriptions
The product description should tell you both the amount of CBD (or a percentage of CBD) as well as the terpene profile of the flower strain. This allows you to choose the right level of CBD that fits your needs. If you’re just starting out, it’s best to start with a small sample of various CBD flowers to see which style, effect and flavor profiles you prefer.
Be sure to also check the product description to make sure the CBD flower doesn’t contain any additives or unnecessary chemicals. CBD flower is potent, aromatic and flavorful all on its own and a good quality product doesn’t need any extras to deliver the experience you’re looking for!
Avoid Suspiciously Low Prices
Low prices, especially on your favorite strains of CBD flower, sound great in theory, but be careful of prices that are too good to be true. It’s a good idea to compare prices on your favorite strains independently from several different vendors to make sure you’re getting the best quality product. Incredibly low prices may indicate low quality or even counterfeit products which could ultimately be dangerous to your health.
Understand the Shipping and Returns Policy
What happens if you’re not satisfied with the product? Make sure the seller has a clear shipping and return policy online and offers steps on what to do in the event that you’re not happy. If you’re concerned about your package being discovered, working with a seller that ships discreetly can also be worth the price.
Read Customer Reviews
Overall ratings are great, but verified customer reviews reveal the whole story. Read what customers have to say both on the retailer's website and on independent websites like TrustPilot to get an honest picture of the company’s customer service and product quality.
You might say that these tips are the same no matter what you’re buying online, but CBD flower is in a class all its own.
