One of the things that I have learned about considering using hemp seed oil and CBD oil is that you need a lot of information. 

Information about the laws in your states. Is cannabis legal where I live?
 
What do I want it for? Physical pain relief, a sleep aid or something to chill the anxiety symptoms down?

Where do I go for credible, factual information? This has been one of the hardest aspect of putting these episodes together. 
 
So, being a birth frugalista, I looked at it from a shopper's perspective.
 
There is some information from a post from the National Center of Complimentary and Integrative Health page on Cannabis (Marijuana) and Cannabinoids: What You Need To Know   It is factual but a lot more research has to be done and it can't happen until cannabis is federally legalized.

There are advocacy organizations but most look like sales literature as opposed to providing consumer information.
 
Reams of pages about the laws except that the laws are changing even as I type this script.
 
Flim Flam Frankies and the folks that create duplicate websites with 100s different names hope to heaven you land on them. They will promise you the world. Do not give those people your money.
 
The first goal for those of us that are considering buying CBD oil is buying safely and getting what you paid for.  
 
If you haven’t already and you are new to this, please review the episodes on how it is made and the uses for hemp seed oil and CBD oil
 
In this episode, going to the supermarket to get some CBD Oil. 
 
Oh, one more thing. I tend to use market, supermarket and store interchangeably.  It has a different meaning to the MBA and financial folks. 
 
In the episode, I will say retail, retail market or market. I mean the retail brick and mortar stores.

Resources Mentioned: 


U.S. Food and Drug Administration page on Is It Really FDA Approved?
 
The National Council of State Legislators seems to have a current activity list of the current cannabis laws in the United States. The laws are in flux. It is crazy making.
