UK’s Top 5 CBD Brands to Try in 2020

The CBD industry is growing so fast in the UK; it’s almost unbelievable that cannabis was entirely illegal just a few years ago. Now, Cannabidiol supplement is available in many forms as a supplement and sold over the counter prescription-free.

Today the problem is no longer unavailability, but rather finding your perfect option out of the hundreds of brands/ products in the market. So, here are the top 5 CBD Oils in the UK today.

What is CBD Oil?

Firstly, CBD is one of over 80 cannabinoids found in cannabis. It is more abundant in hemp than marijuana, which is why hemp is often the go-to cannabis variety for CBD extraction. CBD does not have the “high” effect of THC (more abundant in marijuana than hemp).

CBD oil, therefore, is simply CBD that has been extracted from cannabis and infused into a carrier oil. Most popular oils used include hemp seed oil and coconut oil. Hemp seed oil, or simply hemp oil, is not the same as CBD oil. CBD can also be infused into other substances, including drinks, topical gels, gummies, chocolate, cakes, capsules and sprays.

Is CBD Oil Legal in The UK?

CBD products, including CBD oil, are legal in the UK so long as the TCH content is no more than 1 mg of THC per finished products. This THC limit is intended to ensure that CBD products do not get you high or interfere with your daily activities.
