No it will not. The CBD Brands we carry are all made from organic Hemp which contains 0.2% THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) or less. Hemp is the non psychoactive plant from the Cannabis Genus

Organic CBD is not cheap for several reasons. It is costly to grow large organic hemp crops without the use of pesticides. The extraction process is called supercritical CO2 extraction. That even sounds complicated and it is but this process produces the highest quality. Then the products have to be produced according to GMP (Good Manufacturing Processes) to assure quality control. Research and Development Costs. Distribution and Marketing is not easy. There is still a lot of misunderstanding by larger institutions that don’t fully understand CBD. They just think cannabis and worry about liability. Financial institutions are also stuck in the stone age for the same reason  and take a risk averse stance because they don’t properly understand what CBD is.

CBD products come in many forms these days from Oils to Edibles. When choosing your delivery method decide on how quick you want the CBD to enter you blood stream and how easily you want to incorporate taking it into your daily routine. For example, CBD oil held under your tongue for 2 to 3 minutes will enter your blood stream very quickly, as will patches and vapes but these can be slightly more hassle to administer. Whereas, taking a soft gel or a gummy is very quick and easy but takes longer to enter your blood stream as it has to be digested first. Small trade offs but the overall result is the same.

You will have noticed that CBD products have a lot of different strengths and it is difficult to know what strength is right for you so let’s fix that right now.

Firstly, it is important to know what strength you need because if it’s too low you will have to take much more to get the desired affect and you will be running out of CBD all the time.

Secondly, this is important to understand, you need to know the size of the bottle and the strength of the CBD to then know how strong each drop is, sounds complicated right so let’s simplify it. How much CBD do i get per drop? That’s what you want to know.

1000mg CBD strength in a 10ml bottle (10ml is roughly 200 drops)

This means you get 5mg of CBD per drop. What? How did you get that i hear you ask.

1000mg divided by 200 drops equals 5mg CBD per drop.

Let’s look at a larger bottle, 30ml. So we know thats roughly 600 drops. (10ml is 200 drops)

1000mg strength CBD divided by 600 drops equals 1.6mg per drop.

So larger bottles may require higher strengths depending on what you need because if the CBD strength stays the same but the volume increases the dose per drop reduces.

Thirdly, we need to understand what you want to achieve as the CBD strength targets different ailments.

300mg strength CBD is for general health and wellness

600mg strength CBD is for moderate stress, mild pain

1000mg strength CBD is for daily stress and anxiety, depression, higher levels of pain and inflammation

Of course the higher the strength CBD the more expensive it is.

An alternative and easier way to measure the Strength is to go by the stated percentage. The percentage is the concentration drop for drop and avoid you having to work out anything.

Yes, in most countries around the world it is legal provided it contains 0.2% THC or less and all the brands we carry conform to this legal requirement. Cannabis is illegal but CBD is legal in most countries. Laws and regulation are rapidly changing around the world to allow CBD, most recently Thailand and Japan have removed CBD from their list of illegal narcotics. However, please check your host country to make sure.

We recommend you start with one drop up to three times a day to start with.

All our anatomies are unique to a degree. Generally you can expect to feel the benefits of taking CBD within a day or two. Some people report almost instant relief and for others it takes a few days to restore their endocannabinoid system. If after a few days there are no noticeable benefits then adjust your dose. There are a lot of brands claiming to be CBD but are made from cheap hemp seed oil, not hemp, but don’t worry, AOC has already done the research for you. All brands on this site are the real deal.

No you can not overdose on CBD. The World Health Organisation states that even with extremely high doses the worst side affects you may have are nausea, stomach upset and lethargy. In the doses we recommend you are completely safe and highly unlikely to experience any of these symptoms. CBD is non toxic.
