So many choices and even more disinformation when it comes to CBD products. Without going into a book of information it’s best to go direct to a cultivar who makes there own boutique brands and hopefully are organic. Simple google search will give you lots of options. There are a few levels of purity of product that you can buy that are all derived from a hemp plant not from hemp seed.
Starting with Crude oil, which has all the Cannabanoids, lipids, fats, wax’s and terpines. Probably the best route if your wanting the most natural product. Check to make sure it’s being extracted with Co2 preferably because it strips both polar and non polar parts of the plant. Most big mfg’s Use ethanol as the solvent because it’s cheaper but won’t bring a lot of the terpines which in my opinion is not as pure. Usually will come only in Gel tabs or syringe.

Second would be products made from distillates. More refined then above to get to a purer higher % of cbd. This would be your tinctures, vapes, gummies etc... these are a lot harder to regulate as far as Milligrams dosage because there is no real science into making each dose identical yet. I call them marketing sku’s

The final would be pure cbd isolate. Because they are pure they are only in crystal form. Most wont buy this unless your looking to make your own products.

With regards to all the above products if the company you are looking at does not have current testing for pesticides, toxicity, microbial and plant genetics I would look elsewhere. Good companies have all this info available per GMP requirements.

Cheers
