In this video, the speaker explains that Amazon does not permit the sale of CBD products, yet many listings appear when users search for CBD. These listings are actually hemp seed oil products, which are derived by pressing hemp seeds and typically contain no internal cannabinoids; any cannabinoids present are only surface contaminants from contact with the flower. The speaker emphasizes that true CBD products must disclose the type of hemp extract (full‑spectrum, broad‑spectrum, or isolate) and list the exact milligrams of cannabidiol per serving on the supplement facts panel—information that Amazon listings generally omit. Because of this, the products found on Amazon are essentially pressed seed oil, similar to olive oil, and the advertised milligram amounts are misleading. The speaker advises consumers to avoid seeking CBD on Amazon, instead purchasing from reputable, lab‑tested brands that provide clear labeling, and invites viewers to comment with questions or product reviews.

I know it's tempting. I get it. I've been there myself. You start looking around on Amazon for CBD thinking you found a secret way to find it for much cheaper. So I just wanted to kind of talk about what that looks like on Amazon. Amazon does not allow the sale of CBD. Their policies, like everybody else's, are changing all the time, but as of right now, they do not allow for the sale of it. So I know a lot of people go on there. I have a ton of conversations with customers that come over and you type in CBD into your Amazon search and you get a ton of products. But what you're actually looking at there are hemp seed oil products. So they just press the seed and you end up with a seed oil. When they do industrial hemp, they'll take the fiber to make clothes, building materials, whatever. And then they'll press the seeds for the oil. There are a ton of studies published that hemp seeds innately do not contain any cannabinoids, but all of the studies indicate that any cannabinoids found on the hemp seed are from contact with the flower. So they're on the outside of the hemp seed, so nothing internal. So what you're looking at at Amazon, they'll talk about hemp extract, hemp oil, that sort of thing. And you'll notice None of it talks about CBD. And if you follow along and you subscribe, you've seen other videos where I talk about the specific buying guides, what you should be looking for on the label. And a big thing you need to be looking for on the label is the type of hemp extract. So broad spectrum, full spectrum, isolate. So it needs to clearly say that. And then on the supplement facts panel, it needs to clearly indicate The milligrams per serving of cannabidiol. So none of these products will do it. They'll just generally talk hemp. So what you're really buying is just a pressed seed oil similar to olive oil. So that is why you're getting prices like that, and that is why their milligrams typically look massive. I would not advise buying or looking for CBD on Amazon. Your odds are you're not gonna be getting what you think you're getting. So find a reputable supplier, find a reputable brand, one that works for you, one that's lab tested, one that's labeled, includes all of the relevant information that it should have that I discussed. So yeah, drop a comment if you have any questions or you want me to take a look at, at what you've bought or what you're currently taking.
