Welcome to r/science! This is a heavily moderated subreddit in order to keep the discussion on science. However, we recognize that many people want to discuss how they feel the research relates to their own personal lives, so to give people a space to do that, personal anecdotes are now allowed as responses to this comment. Any anecdotal comments elsewhere in the discussion will continue to be removed and our normal comment rules still apply to other comments.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

there are a lot of sketchy cbd brands the reddit subs seem to have decent recommendations but even then it could be astroturfing.

Reddit used to have an excellent rating and referral community for less regulated products but Reddit killed it to appease Chinese investments.

Rule of thumb, if you buy it at a gas station or other similar convenient store…it’s fake

Yup just like when people say, "but in legal states, its lab tested!"

Yeah some third party lab slaps a % label on it. No matter how much the weed is broken down, reprocessed, how old it is or how much its degraded, "its lab tested, bro"..

Most people don’t even view the lab tests. The tests provided through product QR codes could be inaccurate, old, or for a completely different product.

People see “scan this” or “click here” to view lab test results, then assume it is safe without any more inquiry.
