Once you maintain a newfound knowledge of CBD oil, check out our line of incredible CBD products (We deliver to New York!) that exceed every possible criteria of quality!

Is CBD Oil Legal in New York?

 Hemp-derived CBD is legal in New York. 

As long as the product is made from hemp-based CBD containing less than 0.3% THC, as stated in the 2018 Farm Bill, then it is not a controlled substance and is not illegal. If there is more than 0.3% THC content, then the product is illegal and would fall under New York's cannabis and medical marijuana laws. 

That being said, CBD is not allowed to be added to food or beverages for sale in New York. 

New York is very different from most other states because it does allow CBD products to be both marketed and sold as a dietary supplement as long as the marketing does not make any form of a medical claim. You will also often find CBD products as topicals for sale in New York, such as in lotions. 

Any CBD product must follow the packaging and labeling requirements set forth by the New York Department of Agriculture.  

Where to buy CBD Oil in New York

When looking to buy CBD oil in New York, keep a few important things in mind to avoid any low grade or mislabeled products.

Oftentimes your source of CBD is a driving factor behind the quality that you receive. 

Because hemp-based CBD oil is legal in New York, you can find it at retail establishments far and wide, like department stores, gas stations, and convenience stores just to name a few. 

However, in a lot of these establishments, you will find low quality, mismarketed, and non-lab tested products. 

One option for ensuring high-quality CBD is to buy in your local dispensary should you have one close by. Dispensaries maintain strict quality standards, and you will be able to talk to the employees so that they can answer any other questions you may have.

What to look for when buying CBD Oil

When looking for CBD oil in New York, you first want to determine what kind of product you want! 

From capsules you swallow like a pill, droplets you take by mouth, topicals you use on your skin, and edibles you eat like a snack, there are a variety of different consumption methods for CBD. 

The best thing to do is think of your lifestyle and what method works best for you. 

The labeling of CBD products is a great way to determine the overall quality of the product and to gather the right information that will help you to buy only the best available CBD. No matter what kind of CBD product you choose, a good label should include:

1. The amount of CBD guaranteed in the product and per serving- should be lab tested by a reputable lab. Look for a certificate of authenticity (COA) on the package or a barcode to scan the COA, and double-check that the COA matches the amounts marketed on the product. 
2. The Ingredients and Supplement Facts- Should always say “CBD Oil” or “cannabidiol” or sometimes “hemp extract”. If a product is listed as “hemp seed oil” or “Cannabis sativa seed oil”, be aware that these are NOT forms of CBD and the labeling is mismarketed. The only time these oils are okay listed as an ingredient is when they act as the carrier oil to the actual CBD. 
3. The date the product was manufactured & packed/bottled- (batch code or batch number)
4. Proper instructions on how to use and suggested use- How many times per day, how much per serving, where to use, etc. 
5. Who the manufacturer is
6. What kind of CBD is it- Full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, or isolate. 
7. The net weight of the CBD product

Some people don't know the difference between the different kinds of CBD, so here they are:

Full-spectrum CBD contains all of the cannabinoids of the cannabis plant, including up to 0.3% THC. This means that a product labeled as “Full-spectrum CBD” will actually get you high and leave you feeling groggy if you are not used to THC, so avoid these products if you are looking for strictly CBD. 

Broad-Spectrum CBD oil contains multiple other cannabinoids aside from just CBD, but it does not contain THC. This means that you will receive health benefits from other cannabinoids without the feeling of being high, but sometimes you might notice the effect of these cannabinoids working together in what is known as the “entourage effect”. 

Isolate CBD oil contains strictly and only the cannabinoid molecule. This is the purest form of CBD and contains no other cannabinoid, so instead, the focus is purely on the health benefits of CBD. Other than a sense of calmness and relaxation, you don't really ‘feel’ anything as the CBD gets to work. 

All of our products on LINK TO SITE are isolate CBD, so you can shop assured knowing that our products will never get you high or contain any hidden surprises, like other cannabinoids, or filler ingredients.

Examples of filler ingredients include cellulose, gelatin, carrageenan, titanium dioxide, and artificial colors among others. These ingredients don't add to the quality or purpose of the CBD at all, and instead, simply take up space within the product for cheaper manufacturing and higher profits. 

None of our products contain any filler ingredients. The only additional ingredients we use have been added to enhance our products based on their specific use. Cinnamon, for example, which helps to reduce inflammation or avocado oil that contains Vitamin E oil and healthy omega-3 fatty acids. 

Now that you know what to look for on a CBD product label, let's also talk about some of the things you want to avoid. 

A CBD product or brand that makes a medical claim, like promising to cure or heal a health ailment, is a big red flag. 

Reputable CBD brands are legally prohibited to make any medical claims on their labels or marketing and will avoid doing so as per FDA guidelines and laws. 

Don't fall for fancy marketing terms that have no scientific backing and that are meant to sell you a product. If a CBD product is labeled as “Organic”, “All Natural”, or “Pure” with no proven evidence or certifications on the label, it is safe to assume this is a false claim. 

The area in which your CBD oil was grown and manufactured absolutely matters. 

Hemp is a product of its environment as it likes to absorb particulates in the soil and air, so highly polluted places produce lesser quality CBD. If you want to know where your CBD was grown, find the manufacturer on the label and learn more about their practices. 

If you want to buy only the best CBD products, those that are grown in areas with intense regulations and established rules such as Colorado, Oregon, or New York, will always maintain a higher quality.

CBD Oil FAQs in New York

Check out our frequently asked questions regarding CBD oil and our CBD oil products available in New York. 

What Does CBD Oil Do?

CBD oil is a non-psychoactive (it doesn't get you high) cannabidiol. When ingested, cannabidiols impact the human endocannabinoid system by attaching to receptors that control pain, inflammation, mood, as well as many other neurotransmitters and feelings. 

By reducing the production of our natural endocannabinoid system and by interacting with our neurotransmitters, CBD is then able to provide us with the benefits that include, but are not limited to:

• Pain Relief
• Reducing Cancer Related Symptoms
• Controlling Anxiety, Depression, and Other Mood Disorders
• Promotes Skin Health
• Aids in Reducing Effects and Possibly Preventing Neurological Disorders

What is the Best Intake Form?

The best form of ingesting CBD really depends on you and what you like!

If you are looking for a tasteless experience and quick convenience, then capsules or a tincture that you can swallow are simple and easy methods of CBD intake. 

If you enjoy snacking or eating something sweet, tasty, and flavorful, then you will absolutely enjoy our CBD gummies. 

If you want to use your skin as the "intake" mechanism, the most popular options are creams, balms, and topical oils. 

These are normally used by people wanting to improve their skin appearance and health or who need relief with joint or pain-related challenges. 

Vaping CBD products are becoming increasingly popular because of the quick delivery of results without the long duration of other methods like edibles or tinctures and are a great choice for those who enjoy the experience and feeling of vaping. 

The key is to find what not only works best for you but also what you enjoy. 

What CBD Dosage Should I Take?

CBD dosage is again personal to yourself and your unique needs. There really is no magic number, as CBD dosages can vary from 10-1000 mg per day. 

Your best bet is to take into account a few aspects, such as your height, body weight, and age, and start slowly with your dosage only to move up when comfortable. 

Remember, you can always add more, so start with 10-20mg and experiment until you find what feels just right. 

What’s the Difference Between Hemp-based and Cannabis-based CBD?

Hemp-based CBD comes from hemp plants. These types of plants are generally cultivated for their seed and fiber, as well as the CBD. 

Maintaining a different, much skinner appearance in the way they look versus a cannabis plant, hemp plants also contain no more than 0.3% THC, as in there isn't much active ingredient to get you high.

Cannabis-based CBD is derived from cannabis plants that do contain THC and other cannabinoids, so these types of products often result in a psychoactive effect or feeling of being high. More regulated than hemp plants, these types of CBD products are only allowed where THC is legal as well.
