Overall Score: B-. The promising company but too young to tell.
The CBDistillery was founded in 2017 in the state of Colorado. They offer both cannabidiol and CBD products including pure CBD isolate, topicals, CBD oil, and vape juice. The cost to purity ratio is actually quite good; few other companies offer the same low pricing as the CBDistillery. Their broad product range allows everyone to feel comfortable purchasing from them, even if you’re not an expert and are simply looking to find out if CBD works for you. The hemp source is not verified to be USDA organic, however, all products are independently third-party lab test to verify pesticide and contaminant levels. Their hemp is sourced in Colorado and clearly branded as CBD sourced from pesticide-free (non-GMO) Industrial Hemp. The brand has been referenced by Yahoo and USA Today, adding to its reputation. Another point to take note of: the CBDistillery offers a military and veteran’s discount of 10%. It’s a good sign when a company offers discounted costs to those who suffer a little more than average.

From our grading questions above and our research, CBDistillery CBD products get a B, with further grading to be done after we tally up the user reviews. The company is very promising but has only been in business for two years.
Advantages of CBDistillery Hemp Oil
CBDistillery has possibly the greatest early buzz credibility of any company we have reviewed. They make labs for all batches available. They include both CBD and CBDa in their products. Instead of trying to confuse customers about what is hemp extract versus hemp seed oil versus CBD, they carefully explain the differences on their website. Hemp extract is an extract of the whole plant which contains high levels of CBD. The hemp seed oil has low levels of CBD but high levels of healthy fatty acids and vitamins.
CBDistillery ships all over the United States and has programs to assist the disabled, veterans, and low-income.
The main disadvantage is that this is a very new company so it remains to be seen how the company will develop.
Lab Analyses

1000mg 30ml Full Spectrum CBD Tincture
It’s clear that CBDistillery uses high-CBD hemp extract and you will get the CBD levels you need to treat stress associated with health conditions or for general wellness. Lab analyses for each batch for each product are included and easily accessible on their website. So far, CBDistillery looks like a very good company with a large variety of effective products.
Because this product contains more cannabinoids than just CBD, it’s necessary to check the cannabinoid profile to make sure you are getting a sufficient dose of cannabinoids. There is 35.55 mg/mL of CBD and 42.92 mg/mL total cannabinoids in the 1000 mg hemp oil. This is a potent, efficacious dose.

Details
1000mg 30ml Full Spectrum CBD Tincture
CBDistillery’s main strength is the sheer volume of products which they make and sell. There’s something for everyone, including children and pets, to reduce stress and improve general well-being.
Directions: Take one serving twice per day. This product can be taken sublingually or mixed into fruit juice or food.
Dosage: 1 mL. Contains 33.3 mg of Hemp extract. The vast majority of that is composed of CBD. Whereas with less trustworthy companies, ‘hemp extract’ is a ruse used to pass off hemp seed oil as CBD oil, with CBDistillery, we have the labs showing their hemp extract is composed mostly of CBD, and also contains CBDA and other cannabinoids. Therefore, this real hemp extract is potentially more effective than CBD alone.

Q&A about CBDISTILLERY CBD
What’s the difference between isolate and full-spectrum? Isolate is pure CBD while full-spectrum contains other cannabinoids. Different people may respond differently to either form, though most CBD studies seem to have been done on isolated CBD.
Can you vape the oils? The oil tinctures are not formulated to be vaped. You can vape or dab your isolates with the proper type of vaping equipment, a pen with a coil. Or you can buy pre-filled vape pens from CBDistillery.
Will I fail a drug test? CBDistillery products have THC levels below 0.3% and isolates have no detectable THC. However, CBDistillery cannot legally claim that you will not fail a drug test from using their CBD products. Research online on the issue seem to suggest a low likelihood.
What is in hemp extract? Cannabinoids like CBD, CBDA, and THC. Terpenoids which give fragrance and flavor like myrcene and limonene.
Is hemp the same as marijuana? No. Industrial hemp is a type of cannabis sativa. Marijuana can be cannabis ruderalis, sativa, or indica. Hemp has few buds and is grown to belong and fibrous. Marijuana is full of buds with high levels of THC. Industrial Hemp has only trace amounts of THC and is not an illegal drug.
Where does CBDistillery source its hemp? It is grown in Colorado.
What extraction methods are used? CO2 extraction.
Can I overdose on CBD? There is no known overdose for CBD. As always, check the other ingredients in any product for which you may accidentally use more than recommended.
Does CBDistillery vape have nicotine in it? No, it does not.
How long does it last? How to store it? Store at room temperature. The oil can last up to 18 months.
Will it affect my work? CBDistillery CBD products contain no THC and will not affect your working ability. It will reduce pain and anxiety which may improve working ability.
Will CBD interact with my meds? You should consult your doctor to eliminate drug interactions. There have not been many reports of adverse drug interactions with CBD.
Is sublingual better or vape? Sublingual for now. It is not truly known if vape delivers therapeutic levels of CBD.
Is CBD the same as marijuana? CBD stands for cannabidiol. It is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, one among as many as 125 identified cannabinoids in industrial hemp.
CBD is not pot, marijuana, hash, weed, or cannabis sativa. CBDistillery’ CBD products contain no psychoactive THC, only small amounts of therapeutic THC, with large amounts of therapeutic CBD. Marijuana usually contains THC which is psychoactive: industrial hemp CBD-rich extract does not.
What other cannabinoids are found in hemp oil? Hemp oil may contain over 125 cannabinoids, including:
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol)
THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin)
THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid)
CBV (cannabivarin)
CBT (cannabicitran)
CBN (cannabinol)
CBDA (cannabidiolic acid)
CBDV (cannabidivarin)
CBE (cannabielsoin)
CBG (cannabigerol)
CBGM (cannabigerol monomethyl ether)
CBGV (cannabigerovarin)
CBL (cannabicyclol)
CBD (cannabidiol)
CBCV (cannabichromevarin)
CBC (cannabichromene)
Is it legal? Yes, with some caveats. CBD and CBDА are legal in most states of the United States as long as it comes along with no more than 0.3% the. CBD all by itself is pretty much legal everywhere. However, you could still run into legal problems if you have a cop or court which is hell-bent on charging people with violation of marijuana laws or even laws about where you can buy non-psychoactive hemp. This is rare but has happened on occasion.
CBD is legal in many countries, including:
Argentina,
Austria,
Belgium,
Belize,
Brazil,
Bulgaria,
Canada,

Is hemp oil new? Hemp has been around for at least 12,000 years. The ban in the United States is a violation of human rights.
How does CBD work? CBD binds to receptors in the central nervous system including endocannabinoid receptors which help modulate the levels of monoamines, perceptions of pleasure and pain, and mood.
Is CBD psychoactive? Will it make you high? No, and no.
Does CBDistillery provide 3rd party labs on their website? Yes, and the labs confirm that the CBD hemp oil product contains therapeutic levels of CBD and other cannabinoids and phytonutrients.
What’s the difference between CBD, hemp oil, and hemp extract? CBD means cannabidiol. It is a single cannabinoid, the second most abundant in marijuana, and the most abundant in low THC hemp. CBD isolates contain CBD as the only component. Hemp oil is hemp seed oil. It contains healthy fatty acids, but only very low levels of CBD. Hemp extract is hemp oil extracted from the whole plant, standardized for high levels of CBD. Unscrupulous companies will try to confuse consumers, passing off hemp seed oil as CBD oil. CBDistillery is legit and upright about its CBD levels.
Conclusion
Grade: B-
CBD Distillery has a good buzz. They have been featured in High Times, USA Today, and Yahoo News. They get great reviews. They pass the 3rd party lab tests. The only drawbacks are the user reviews do not appear to be great as of yet, and also the company is very young so there may be some truth to the claim that their customer service leaves something lacking. So, it remains to be seen if they will continue to be a top company. However, their labs appear to show strong CBD and cannabinoid levels, so it should work like any other verified CBD product.
CBD oil disclaimers (please read, this is important):
General Medical Disclaimer
Leaf Expert and its employees and partners do not represent the medical establishment and our information is not a replacement for your doctor’s advice.
Food and Drug Administration Disclaimer
The use of CBD products with the exception of Epidiolex and Sativex has not been evaluated or approved by the FDA. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Drug Screening Disclaimer
While most CBD products claim to have little to no THC, it is theoretically possible to fail a drug test for THC. This can happen because some CBD products have been tested to have far more THC than represented on the label. Also, CBD is similar in structure to THC.
