How to Shop for CBD in Arlington Tips on Choosing Safe and Effective Products

Trust is important when you're picking a regular brick-and-mortar CBD shop. While you can never know everything about a store, here are some questions you can answer on your first visit. The more "yes" answers your shop gets, the more likely it is that you've found a good one:

• Does the store look and feel clean, safe, and pleasant to visit? Are the floors and windows clean? Is there a generally positive vibe inside the store, with pleasant, safe-to-interact-with customers inside and in front of the site?
• Does the staff seem to know a lot about CBD products and their benefits? Do they have the information you need about items in their inventory, and are they willing to take the time to educate you about the benefits and drawbacks of each one? Can they help you find a product you're looking for, and do they have suggestions for new products you haven't heard about yet?
• Is there a solid selection of CBD and related products available, including competing products by different manufacturers so you have a choice? Do they keep well-stocked shelves?
• Does the store have a good return policy? Do they guarantee your satisfaction with your purchase, and will they take returns with no strings attached?
• Is the store licensed and fully permitted, and is it a professional place overall?

When you're comfortable with the shop, it's time to evaluate the products you're thinking about buying. Here are a few green flags that should tip you off that you've found a decent CBD product:

• Every product's external packaging should prominently label the THC content. It will usually be 0.3% or less, but you should be able to tell at a glance.
• High-quality CBD comes from organic, non-GMO hemp grown in the United States. Ask the retailer where their CBD is sourced. U.S.-grown hemp adheres to stricter regulations than international sources, ensuring cleaner and generally safer products.
• Check to see how the product has been tested. Review the Certificate of Analysis (COA) from the independent laboratory that did the testing. It should confirm the THC concentration, that no contaminants have been found, the product batch number, and other information that relates to safety. This applies to both the growing plants and the final product.
• Pick a CBD extract that works for you. There are three types to choose from. CBD isolate is the purest form. Broad-spectrum CBD contains cannabidiol but no THC. Full-spectrum CBD has THC along with cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids.
• Make sure the products you buy come in clean and sealed packaging that clearly lists ingredients and product-specific data.
