CBD Basics for your area

Use these checkpoints to make clearer decisions before you buy CBD products. Quality and labeling standards vary widely.

  • Look for third-party lab testing (COA) that confirms potency and purity.
  • Check mg of CBD per serving, not just per bottle.
  • Know the difference between full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and isolate.
  • Start with a low dose and adjust based on your experience.
  • Buy from licensed dispensaries or reputable brands with transparent sourcing.

Understanding CBD Spectrum Types

The "spectrum" refers to what other compounds are included alongside CBD:

  • Full-Spectrum: Contains CBD plus other cannabinoids, terpenes, and up to 0.3% THC. Some believe the "entourage effect" makes this more effective.
  • Broad-Spectrum: Similar to full-spectrum but with THC removed. Good for those who want to avoid any THC.
  • CBD Isolate: Pure CBD with no other cannabinoids. Typically 99%+ CBD. No risk of THC but no entourage effect.

Full-spectrum products with trace THC could potentially show up on sensitive drug tests.

How to Spot Quality CBD

The CBD market has many low-quality products. Here is what to look for:

  • Certificate of Analysis (COA): Third-party lab results should be easy to find and recent.
  • Clear labeling: mg of CBD per serving, ingredients list, and extraction method.
  • Hemp source: US-grown hemp is subject to more regulations than imported hemp.
  • No health claims: Reputable brands avoid making medical claims that are not FDA-approved.
  • Realistic pricing: Very cheap CBD is often low quality or mislabeled.

CBD FAQ for your area

Does THC City Guides sell CBD or take orders?

No. THC City Guides is an informational discovery platform. We do not sell cannabis or CBD products, process orders, or facilitate transactions.

Will CBD get me high?

No. CBD is non-intoxicating and does not produce the "high" associated with THC. However, full-spectrum products contain trace amounts of THC (up to 0.3%), which is not enough to cause intoxication in most people.

Is CBD legal?

Hemp-derived CBD with less than 0.3% THC is federally legal in the US under the 2018 Farm Bill. However, state laws vary, and CBD sold in licensed dispensaries may be subject to different regulations than hemp CBD sold elsewhere.

How much CBD should I take?

There is no universal dose. Most people start with 10-25mg per day and adjust based on their experience. Factors like body weight, metabolism, and the reason for use all affect ideal dosing. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

Can CBD show up on a drug test?

Pure CBD isolate should not trigger a positive drug test. However, full-spectrum products contain trace THC that could potentially accumulate with heavy use and trigger a positive result on sensitive tests. If drug testing is a concern, use broad-spectrum or isolate products.

What is the difference between hemp CBD and cannabis CBD?

CBD is the same molecule whether it comes from hemp or cannabis. The legal difference is that hemp must contain less than 0.3% THC. Cannabis-derived CBD products sold in dispensaries may have higher THC content and are subject to state cannabis regulations.

CBD Guide for THC City Guides Network

This CBD guide is built to help you shop smarter in THC City Guides Network. Use it to understand product types, value signals, and what to check before you order. These pages are designed to become premium monetized category hubs over time.

What you’re really buying

CBD covers multiple formats, strengths, and use cases. The best experience starts by matching the product to your tolerance, your schedule, and your reason for using it.

Avoid shopping by name alone. Decide your outcome first, then choose potency and format to match. When in doubt, start low, track how you feel, and repeat what works.

Pricing, value, and how people overpay

Most people overpay when they compare sticker prices only. Compare total checkout price, then compare potency, serving size, and freshness. The cheapest number is not always the best value.

  • Compare total checkout price, not just menu price.
  • Look at potency per dollar and serving size.
  • Check freshness and clear labeling when available.
  • Watch for hidden fees, minimums, and delivery ranges.
