Types of CBD Explained: Your Guide to Choosing the Right Product

Since cannabis exploded into the mainstream and popular wellness culture, a variety of different products have appeared – everything from oils to bath bombs. So, how do you choose between all the types of CBD and find the form that’s right for you? Don’t let yourself be overwhelmed! With a little guidance from a trusted source, you’ll soon be making your choice with confidence.

Our Quick Guide to CBD Types

There are three main types available: full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and isolate.

• Full-Spectrum CBD: This gives you everything that the hemp plant has to offer, including an array of terpenes, flavonoids, and other cannabinoids and compounds. It also contains a legal amount of THC – 0.3% or less.
• Broad-Spectrum CBD: This is the middle ground: while it has all the plant components of full spectrum, albeit usually in smaller quantities, it is generally THC-free. If any THC is present, it will be only in trace amounts.
• CBD Isolate: This is pure CBD, without any of the other compounds found in the cannabis plant.

The Many Forms of CBD: Oils, Gummies & More

If you’re on the market for some quality CBD products, there’s so much choice it could make your head spin. It’s usually best to stick to the most common types of products, as the more “out there” a product is, the more likely it is to be a gimmick. The different types of CBD can be used for any of these products, so always check the packaging carefully.

#1 Oils

Divided into the types listed above, oils can be taken orally (if food-grade) or applied to the skin. This is a great way to control your usage, as you can increase or decrease the number of drops you take as needed.

#2 Edibles

The classic cannabis edible usually takes the form of gummies, although many delicious alternatives are out there. Many gummies, like our Original Ganja Gummies, contain nano-emulsified THC, which means it’s easy for the body to absorb, so you don’t have to wait for it to kick in.

#3 Topicals

CBD creams and balms can be applied directly to the skin to ease those daily aches and pains. Our CBD lubricant also falls into this category, adding something a little extra to those intimate moments.

#4 Capsules & Tablets

For consistent daily use, especially when prescribed by a doctor, these pre-dosed pills are probably the easiest option. If sourced from a trusted supplier, they’re the most precisely measured.
