You want to avoid Amazon, eBay and the like. Both of these sites actually prohibit the sale of CBD products, and therefore anyone selling on there is probably selling a fake.
Amazon has 1000s of listings for ‘hemp oil’. At best they’re just hemp cooking oil in a bottle, being sold for a hundred times what they’re worth. At worst they contain dodgy ingredients and are unregulated. Stay well-clear.

CBD oils sold in high street stores like Holland and Barret or Boots are very weak and mass-produced. These companies don’t specialise in CBD, know nothing about it and can’t help you with your queries.
The best place to buy CBD oil is through a CBD specialist, like Aura CBD Oil. You want to purchase CBD oil from people who know about the plant, know about the benefits, and sell high-grade oils.

You also want to ask where to hemp is grown – Chinese hemp is lower quality and lacks regulation.
Always check the ingredients. They should contain some kind of CBD or cannabis extract. They should also list a carrier oil – the best oils in hempseed oil. Some companies might use sunflower or vegetable oils.

Where can I buy cannabis oil?
How to purchase cannabis oil depends on what you mean by cannabis oil. CBD is a type of cannabis oil and as we’ve discussed it’s widely available across the UK.
However, THC is a controlled substance in the UK. That means that cannabis oils that contain THC are illegal throughout the UK unless prescribed by a doctor.

As we mentioned cannabis oils can now be prescribed by doctors in the UK for multiple sclerosis, chemotherapy side effects and some forms of epilepsy. Pharmaceutical companies will probably expand this for other conditions too, but progress is slow. Still, we’re incredibly happy that the government finally woke up to the life-changing capabilities of cannabis sativa.
Where can I buy cannabis oil in the UK? Since cannabis oil that contains high THC is illegal, you won’t be able to buy it legally in the UK.
