If you’re like most people, you probably have a lot of questions about CBD gummies.
What is it?
How does it work?
And, most importantly, how do you buy it?
Luckily, buying CBD Gummies isn’t as complicated as it may seem at first.
In this blog post, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about purchasing CBD.
Follow these 9 steps for a GREAT CBD gummies buying experience.
Step 1. Understand the Basics of CBD Gummies
Before you start shopping for CBD gummies, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with some key concepts:
CBD
Cannabidiol is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis plants that has been reported to help with various conditions such as anxiety, pain, inflammation, and sleep disorders.
Legal Status
CBD and CBD gummies are legal at the federal level in the United States if derived from hemp and contains less than 0.3% THC (the psychoactive component in cannabis).
However, state laws may vary, so check your local regulations before purchasing.
Hemp vs. Marijuana
CBD gummies can be derived from both hemp and marijuana plants.
Hemp-derived CBD gummies usually contain less than 0.3% THC, while marijuana-derived CBD may have higher THC levels.
Choose a product based on your desired THC content AND the legality in your area.
Extraction Methods
The method used to extract CBD can impact the quality and purity of the final product.
CO2 extraction, ethanol extraction, and oil infusion are common methods, with CO2 extraction considered the gold standard for producing clean and potent CBD.
Step 2. Research the other types of CBD products available
CBD comes in various forms besides gummies, so always do your research to make sure gummies are the best product for you.
Each has its unique benefits and drawbacks:
CBD Gummies
Gummies are a convenient and tasty option for those who prefer edibles.
They come in various flavors and dosages, making them easy to dose.
Oils and Tinctures
These are taken sublingually (under the tongue) and offer quick absorption and easy dosage adjustment.
Capsules and Softgels
These provide a convenient and discreet way to take CBD with pre-measured doses.
Other Edibles
Chocolates and other CBD-infused treats offer a tasty way to consume CBD but may take longer to feel the effects.
Topicals
Creams, balms, and lotions infused with CBD can be applied directly to the skin for localized relief.
Vape Products
Vaping CBD provides fast-acting effects but may not be suitable for everyone due to potential respiratory risks.
Choose a product type based on your preferences and desired method of consumption.
Do some research and find out what type of product is best for the specific symptoms or conditions you’re trying to treat – then check the label to make sure you’re getting a pure, potent product with all natural ingredients.
There are a lot of CBD options out there, but they are not all created equal.
Some people are out there just trying to make money by selling CBD.

Step 3. Choose Between Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum, and CBD Isolate Gummies
CBD gummies and other products can be categorized into three types (spectrums) based on the compounds they contain:
- Full Spectrum: Contains all naturally occurring cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids found in the cannabis plant, including trace amounts of THC.
- Broad Spectrum: Contains various cannabinoids and terpenes but has no THC.
- CBD Isolate: Pure CBD with no other cannabinoids or compounds.
Step 4. Select the Appropriate Strength
CBD dosages vary depending on factors such as body weight, metabolism, and the condition being treated.
If you’re new to CBD, start with a low dose (e.g., 5-10 mg) and gradually increase it until the desired effects are achieved.
If your gummy has a high amount than that, you can cut it in half or even in quarters to ease yourself into it.
Consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice on dosing.
Step 5. Choose a delivery method that works best for you
Where and how you’re going to purchase CBD gummies is an important decision.
We all need to find the best way to get things done.
Subscription, one-time purchase, online, or in-store?
Online subscription
Buying CBD gummies on subscription online can offer several advantages.
For one, you don’t have to worry about remembering to buy your product each month or having it run out before you can purchase more.
As an added bonus, many CBD companies offer discounts for subscribers which means even more savings.
Bradford Wellness Co. does office subscriptions so you can regularly receive your CBD gummies without running out.
Online one-time purchase
Buying CBD gummies as a one-time purchase online can be convenient and often cheaper than buying in store.
We offer this as an option as well.
You can take your time browsing different websites and comparing prices and products before making your decision.
Additionally, online sites may provide more detailed information about the products you are considering than what is available at physical stores.
In-store
Finally, buying CBD gummies in-store has its own set of pros and cons as well.
On the plus side, you can get an up close look at the product before purchasing it and speak directly with someone who knows more about the products if needed.
That’s why our local customers love coming to our local Scottsboro store.
Step 6. Compare Prices
CBD product prices can vary widely based on factors such as the source of the CBD, the extraction method, and the potency.
When comparing products, consider the cost per milligram of CBD to find the best value for your money.
And always remember that cheaper is not always better.
Always check the quality and purity of the product before making a purchase.
Investing in high-quality CBD gummies may cost more upfront, but it will likely be more effective and save you money in the long run.
Step 7. Read Reviews and Seek Recommendations
Before making a purchase, read customer reviews to get an idea of others’ experiences with the product.
You can also ask friends or family members for recommendations or consult online forums and social media groups focused on CBD.
This can help you make an informed decision and find a reputable brand that offers high-quality products.
Step 8. Buy from a Reputable Source
Finally, always buy CBD products from a reputable source.
Look for companies that provide transparent information about their products, including third-party lab results, and have a solid reputation in the industry.
Reputable CBD companies should provide third-party lab test results for their products.
These tests confirm the potency, purity, and safety of the product, ensuring you’re getting what’s advertised.
Look for a Certificate of Analysis (COA) on the company’s website or request one from customer service.
All of our CoAs at Bradford Wellness Co. are available online because this transparency is really important to us.
Step 9. Follow the instructions on how to use CBD products properly
Using CBD products can be a great way to help manage your health and wellness, but it’s important to make sure you’re using these products correctly so that you get the most out of them.
Always read through the product instructions to make sure that you’re taking the right dosage based on your needs.
Lastly, make sure to talk with a medical professional like Dr. Chad who is familiar with CBD before starting any new regimen.
By following these steps and being mindful of the instructions on how to use CBD gummies properly, you should be able to safely and effectively enjoy all the great benefits that CBD has to offer!
High Quality Choices
Incorporating CBD gummies into your wellness routine can be a great choice, as long as you do your research and find the product and dosage that is best for you.
Whether you want to use a tincture or try something more creative like edibles or skincare products, remember that quality matters above all else.
Investigate online reviews and never be afraid to ask questions when buying CBD products.
Taking the time to understand how CBD gummies work and how CBD interacts with your body and lifestyle, you’re well on your way to making the best choices for your needs.
