cbdMD Review
There are so many different brands of CBD oil surfacing on the web lately, so it is not always easy to find the best ones.
In this CBD review, I will be going over a CBD brand that has been on the market and has found favor among CBD users. That brand is cbdMD.
Here is my honest cbdMD review.
A Little Info About cbdMD
cbdMD has a unique CBD oil due to their farm being on a unique Kentucky landscape. cbdMD is involved in the farming, lab testing, and production process, ensuring that they deliver high-quality CBD.
cbdMD also provides third-party lab testing (you can see their results here) provided by ProVerde Laboratories. This is a great thing to have as a CBD oil company, as this ensures the validity of their claims.
cbdMD’s Process
cbdMD uses the best extraction method available nowadays (The CO2 extraction method). This method is the best method for preserving the compounds of the plant, without leaving behind harmful solvents in the process.
“Our CBD undergoes rigorous testing throughout the entire extraction and purification process to ensure nothing but the highest quality CBD oil every batch. Our products further undergo additional and extensive, independent third-party lab testing so we can confidently guarantee our products are pure and safe. We pride ourselves on being fully transparent and welcome you to view the independent third-party testing results.”
So far on paper, cbdMD does everything right which a good CBD company should do.
cbdMD Products
cbdMD offers a whole host of CBD products.
They have:
- CBD oil tincture drops
- CBD oil capsules
- CBD oil for pets
- CBD vape oil
- CBD oil bath bombs
- CBD topicals
I will only be covering the CBD oil tincture drops in this review. The tincture drops come in four flavors: natural, mint, orange, and berry. The bottles come in 2 sizes: 30ml and 60ml. And the strengths range from 300mg of CBD to a whopping 5000mg.
My cbdMD Review
Before I ordered cbdMD, I spoke to their customer service. Their customer service was very friendly and knowledgeable.
The reason I called was because they claim to sell full spectrum CBD oil (full spectrum uses the whole plant) with zero THC. I was reassured by the customer service rep that this claim was correct.
They have what they called a unique “full spectrum hybrid”. They are able to reintroduce CBD isolate into their full spectrum oil and eliminate all traces of THC. The rep also reassured me that they have clients who are businessmen and athletes who are subject to frequent drug testing and they do not test positive.
This was great news as I have taken other full spectrum CBD oils before that contain trace amounts of THC and I indeed did get a false positive on a drug test (I wrote an article on this here – full spectrum CBD oils have a small chance of testing positive).
I finally put in my order for a 60ml bottle of orange 1500mg CBD oil. The first thing I noticed was the price. It is amazing for the size and strength. A couple of days later the CBD arrived.
The Flavor
Upon taking the CBD oil the first thing one notices is the flavor. The flavor is very subtle on this one and you barely taste the orange but it tastes great! I like the subtlety; I don’t like being overwhelmed with flavors. It tastes like a refreshing tangerine that is not overly sugary.
Just recently I have tried the mint flavor. I was also very pleased with the taste of the mint oil. It tasted like a peppermint with a hint of creamy vanilla, very sweet and good, no bitterness was present.
The Effects
I can honestly say that cbdMD works rather well. You can tell right away that their oil is high-quality, which is great for the price you are getting it at.
It takes some time for it to kick in, but otherwise, it works pretty well on my anxiety, insomnia, and controlling my chronic headaches.
I have continued to reorder cbdMD and have used it for the same issues. The best part is the amount of CBD you are getting.
If I take cbdMD in the morning, by the time I get in the shower, my anxiety starts to fade away.
The effects are not overwhelming and didn’t make me too drowsy throughout the day.
You do tend to have to take a little more of this oil than some other brands to get the most effect, but it still isn’t a huge deterrent again for the price.
I usually keep a bottle of cbdMD on hand when I make CBD infused recipes due to the amount of oil in the bottle.
I will say that other oils with trace amounts of THC seem a little stronger, but nonetheless, this one gets the job done without the risk of failing a drug test.
Speaking of which…
I took cbdMD for approximately a month and then drug tested myself again. The results were just as the customer service rep claimed. I showed up negative, thankfully.
Best For:
CBDmd Gummies
Ingredients: CBD, Organic Tapioca Syrup, Organic Cane Sugar, Water, Pectin, Natural & Artificial Flavors, Organic Fruit And Vegetable Juice (For Color), Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Malic Acid, Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Carnauba Wax.
Flavor
The bottle of CBD gummies comes in 4 flavors:
- Orange
- Strawberry
- Raspberry
- Tropical
They all taste pretty similar to me at least. The strawberry one seemed to taste the most pronounced. They are very sweet, like a cream candy, and pretty bitter at the same time (a little too bitter). They have a nice gelatinous texture.
Effects
The effects were pretty pleasant and noticeable with these gummies. My anxiety began to drown out while a nice calm began to overtake my mind. A little bit of inner tranquility was produced.
The gummies also worked very well at night. They helped ease my mind before sleep and left me naturally tired. I slept more easily than usual, had very vivid dreams and felt refreshed upon waking. I loved taking these gummies before bed.
Best For:
CBDmd Vape oil
Flavor
For the vape oil, I tried the vanilla flavor. The vanilla flavor was very subtle, a little hard to pick out, but was still enjoyable. It had a very sweet taste and was smooth and consistent throughout. Not the most diverse in flavor CBD vape juice I have tried, but it was still a very nice simple flavor.
Effects
The effects this vape gave me, were excellent. Like with most CBD vape products I have tried, the effects come on pretty immediately (maybe within 15 minutes). It fist calmed my mind and then severely reduced my anxiety. Serene feelings were produced and seemed to work its way throughout the body and mind.
For sleep, it produced pretty consistent effects. I slept like a baby, very peacefully without having the typical nighttime worries at bed time. Also, woke up feeling refreshed.
Best For:
CBDmd Bath Bomb – Restore
Scent
I couldn’t pick out exactly what fragrances made up this bath bomb, but to me it smelled very pleasant, like sandalwood and a touch of cinnamon. It was very aromatic and easy on the nose.
Effects
I dropped this bath bomb in a full tub of water. It immediately began to fizz like alka-seltzer and continued to fill the bath with that wonderful aroma.
Once fully dissolved, the water turned into a nice light green/blue hue.
When getting into the tup, there was no gritty residue left over. I soaked in the water for about 20 minutes and felt relaxed the entire time. Both the feeling of the mixture and the aroma were calming and relaxing. The pain on my feet and hip subsided. I didn’t want to leave the tub and felt like I could doze off in it.
The next point I want to bring up is that I have very dry skin on my thighs, legs and heels. Normally I would take baths in Epsom salt and that would worsen my dry skin. I would have to apply a ton of moisturizer afterwards for some relief.
I was in disbelief when I got out of the bath after using the bath bomb and there was a slight shimmer on my skin and a softness to it.
I immediately checked my heels and they too were smoother than usual.
I then drained the bath water and another plus, there was no residue left on the sides of the tub like what happens with other bath products.
Overall the bath bomb gave my body a feeling of overall wellness and really moisturized my otherwise dry skin.

Conclusion
To wrap up this cbdMD review, I will say that I would definitely buy cbdMD again (actually as I am writing, this I am purchasing another bottle!). The most enticing reason is the price. They give you so much at a good price in comparison to other oils of the same caliber.
Also, the zero THC in the oil is a big plus when drug testing is a concern.
Make sure if you have any questions to contact their customer support. I have contacted them twice. Once over the phone, and another through their live chat. They are very courteous and knowledgeable.
In conclusion, I positively recommend giving cbdMD a try. You can find their products here.
cbdMD gets my and Honest CBD Man’s seal of approval.

I’ve been avidly using CBD to deal with my anxiety, and have been fortunate to do so successfully. I started this blog to share my experience and knowledge with as many people as possible.
Do you recommend any particular vaper to try CBD Juice? I know it may not be very safe or good for health, but I want to help or get rid of the anxiety … so it may worth to take the risk.
Hi Gabriel! Thanks for the honest review. I started using the tincture but it really makes my throat hurt. Is that a common side effect? I switched to pills (higher dose) and it didn’t seem as effective. Wondering what your take is on the gummies? Thinking they might work faster than pills and wouldn’t have the same issue as the oil? TIA!
I have lower back pain and knee pain caused by spinal stenosis and arthritis. I just ordered the 750mg bottle of cbd oil, and am wondering about how much to take, and how often to take it.
Hi Natalie,
I’m sorry to hear that. CBD dosing is usually subjective, you usually want to start with the lowest dosage possible and then increase from there to see what works best for you. With more extreme pain, a higher dose might be more suitable. I usually take CBD twice a day, once at morning and once at night. Some manufacturers have it in their instructions that you can take it three times a day, Hope this helps.
Is it full spectrum? I did not see THC delta 9 in the analysis of product. Is that bc the plants are hybrids?
And are the plants grown organically?
And any testing done on the absorption and duration? Thanks
are the pills as effective as the oil?
Hi Debbie,
I have not tried the pills, but they should be just as effective, I have tried pills of other companies and they are always just as effective as the oils. They usually just take slightly longer to kick in. The pills can be more convenient at times, because the dose is perfectly measured out.
Have a great day,
-Gabriel
I was taking lazurus naturals but the taste is awful to me. However the cbdmd is very mild and has no earthy taste at all. Kinda hard to accept because I was getting used to that earthy taste. However it’s very pleasant. Just wondering if the lazurus is better ?
Hi Julie,
Lazarus naturals is a true full spectrum oil, in theory it should work better. CBDmd and Lazarus both worked pretty similarly to me though. If it comes down to taste, I would say to stick to the CBDmd oil. Hope this helps
-Gabriel
Have you tried their “natural” flavor tincture? What does it taste like?
Hi Mia,
Yes I have, It doesn’t taste much like anything, no bitter taste, you might get a very minute coconut oil taste from the MCT oil.
Hope this helps.
Have a great day!
I have a retail store offering CBD products, and cbdMD is one of the brands I carry. It is very popular (2nd most in sales) among my customers, and for this reason—
PRICE/AFFORDABLE—-I charge just a few dollars more than what I pay for it at wholesale prices-so I’m cheaper than what’s offered on their own website. This makes no business sense whatsoever, I realize that. However, my business model is “Patient over Profit”, as lack of money shouldn’t be the reason for anyone being in bad health. Because of my prices, the customer base has grown exponentially, and the CBD itself has improved their lives immensely in several cases.
Parents love the 300mg for their children suffering from epilepsy, ADD, ADHD, and anxiety. It’s a low dosage, and elderly love it for arthritis and headaches.
My mother- in-law completely avoided kidney dialysis last summer. She’s tedious and strict on her pharmaceutical meds, follows them to a tee. After 6 weeks of using the 1500mg bottle, her RH was up 10 points since previous visit—adding CBD was the only change made in her daily regimen. As of today, her kidneys are functioning at 80%. NO DIALYSIS NECESSARY.
Her Dr was shocked, had no input when told CBD was probably the reason-and said to keep doing whatever she’s doing.
Wow! Glad to hear this oil had a positive impact.
well now I want to visit your store! what state are you in ? lol
I ordered the 300 mg berry flavor and was shocked to see the oil is completely clear lol how is this possible? Is this normal? I have never had totally clear cbd oil. Thanks!
I have chronic migraines. I started using 750 mg bottle but just bought the 1500 mg bottle. I am using 8 drops 2x’s a day. Is that to much or should it be more? I know you say what ever works but I don’t want to over take either.
Hi Linda,
That doesn’t seem like too much. For my chronic headaches the 750mg bottle usually suffices though. When I take an abnormally high dose, I usually only experience minor nausea. But, I would still take that with a grain of salt and stick with the lowest dose possible that works for you. There hasn’t been any big research conducted yet as to what side effects, if any after long term use and high doses.
Hope this helps,
Have a great day!,

Hi Gabriel. I’m new to the whole CBD products. I recently ordered a 300mg bottle of their berry flavor. I have chronic pain, daily. Most days my pain is mild but their are those days when I’m in severe pain. I’m wondering if I ordered correctly? Should I have done more research on what brand or strength would be most effect for me? Thoughts? Suggestions?
Hi Veronica,
Thanks for contacting us. I’m sorry to hear that you have chronic pain issues. Yes it is good to start with a low dosage (the 300mg is a good starting point), however if you find this to be ineffective you can take more drops than you normally would. Increase by a couple of drops until you find the most effective dosage. Dosing is pretty subjective and everyone requires different doses. Chronic pain may require a bigger dose. If you find that you need to take in excess of 20 drops on your next order you can go with a higher dosage, maybe 600mg. Essentially you can achieve a higher dosage from a lower milligram bottle by just taking more drops. It saves you money though to buy a higher milligram dosage bottle and take fewer drops. And yes, CBDmd is a good company. I hope this helps and hope your pain gets alleviated.
Have a great day,
-Gabriel
Would like to phone in an order with code cupid if that’s possible…?
im trying to find something for my son …Hes 21 with autism spectrum ..Does this product help with Aggression?
Hi Amanda,
CBD generally does have a calming effect. I would definitely consult a doctor first, especially if any other medications are being used because CBD may inhibit the effects of some medications. I find that full spectrum CBD oils work better for me especially during times of stress. It does have a calming effect. CBDmd products worked wonderfully for me, we also have a top 10 list of CBD products that you can check out here: https://honestcbdreviews.com/best-cbd-products/
Hope this helps,
Wish you the best,

Hi I’m beginning CBD md oil1500 . I hope it will help my anxiety as well as joint arthritis.I used a bottle of another brand but like the price and background of this one better. I’m 84 healthy female with arthritic k we and spinal pain from compression fractures. I’m starting with x2 1/2 dropper per day.
Hi,
Yes, this oil worked very well for my anxiety. While I don’t have arthritis, it did help with minor aches and pains. Hope it works for you too! Have a great day!
I’ve been using this brand for about 2 months now. I use the 300mg but I use it a few times a day. It’s great. I’m ready for a stronger my but it’s helped my anxiety and depression tremendously. I’ve actually gotten off of my antidepressant and am using strictly cbd and I’m doing great.
Hi! I’m so glad to hear that. I have been using cbdMD and all other brands listed on this website for close to a year now to manage my severe anxiety as well. They all helped a ton to give me a leg to stand on in order to work at the causes of my anxiety. I wish you the best! Take care.
How many drops of the 300mg bottle are you using per day? I’m interested in it as well..
Hi Charlie, I typically take 4 drops of the 1500mg bottle. But me personally if I was taking the 300mg I would take 15 drops. If it is your fist time start with a lower dose, maybe 10 drops and if you don’t find it to work that well take a couple more drops. Tweak your dose until you find one that works well for you and your symptoms.
Haven’t found it to do anything yet
Hi! You might want to up your dosage and see what works best for you. It depends on what you are trying to treat, also keep in mind that if you don’t have serious conditions you may not notice much. Similar to taking a tylenol without having any pain or headaches, you may not notice anything. It worked great for me, but I use some high doses. Hope this helps!
