Not all CDB drops are created equal: I found the best

Ill admit to having been a CBD denier. I dismissed it as a bullshit trend; the second-most overrated after kombucha. The variety of products Id tried always left me feeling somewhere between slightly nauseous and groggy. And mentally dull. It didnt seem to matter what form the product took, or which sort of extra bells and whistles had been added to enhance the oil.

Reading ingredient labels left me further confused, but more determined to sort it all out.

I wanted something simple, but my standards were high. A Google search for organic CBD drops was a rabbit hole of false leads and dead ends. So I created my own filters, and after researching about a trillion oils, winnowed down the options from there.

If I opt for organic vegetables, why shouldnt my CBD oil rise to the same standards? This one simple step eliminated all but a handful of products.

Filter #2: Purity

I wanted plain CBD oil drops, not a Wiccan brew of essential oils, spices, and exotic immunity boosters preserved in alcohol.
