cbdMD products review

cbdMD is a huge contender in the CBD market. With a huge lineup of products, incredible prices, and delicious flavors, this is a brand that’s hard to turn down. In fact, I’ve known of cbdMD for years, and it seems as though they’ve only progressed.

They craft their products with a wide range of potencies, which is always great for a CBD connoisseur like me. The highest potency products all worked incredibly well for me, producing unique effects depending on the product–not just vague “CBD effects.” I really appreciated this.

The brand’s reviews, in general, are up in the air. It appears as though the less potent products simply do not work as well as other companies with the same milligrams. While I didn’t have this problem at 1500mg or 3000mg, it seems as though many people agreed with the above statement.

Highlights
In person, you can tell that cbdMD is a high-quality company. Their products feel expensive and well-made, despite being somewhat affordable. Their flavors are some of the best on the market, with nice light notes but nothing overwhelming. cbdMD’s high-potency products seem to be the ones that work the best, with lower potencies being a bit too mild for even beginner customers. With slightly questionable COAs and information about extraction, as much as I like this company, I’m still iffy.

cbdMD CBD Oil Capsules

cbdMD CBD oil capsules

For those who aren’t a huge fan of the flavor of hemp, CBD capsules are easily the best route to take. cbdMD’s 1500mg CBD oil capsules are highly potent, don’t have any residual tastes, and take effect within about an hour.

I’m not usually one to turn so capsules, just because I don’t like the feeling of taking pills. However, these capsules were incredibly efficacious, leaving me content taking one a day for a week. When doing this, my mood was better, my motivation was higher, and my pains subsided in general. At $99 per bottle, I would’ve been disappointed otherwise.

Product Summary

cbdMD’s packaging is nothing short of quality, though it doesn’t stand out much in terms of design. The capsules themselves work incredibly well, and they don’t leave any hemp flavors on the tongue. In under an hour, calming, soothing effects washed over me. As a product I normally wouldn’t turn to, cbdMD has me hooked — honestly, all feels right in the world following ingestion of just a few drops of this CBD oil.

cbdMD CBD Gummies

cbdMD CBD gummies

cbdMD’s gummies are brand-new to their collection, but they’re quickly making a name for themselves. These 1500mg sugar-dusted gummies come in a bright tropical mix that aren’t too overwhelming nor too artificial tasting. The flavors perfectly disguise the taste of hemp, leaving you with a delicious-tasting edible that’ll kick in in about an hour.

As an experienced consumer, I took two gummies for full effects. My body was fully relaxed, yet my mind was stimulated with creativity. It was perfect for a day of work. This bottle costs a hefty $99, though, so I wanted to make them last.

Product Summary

Plainly labeled but clearly designed, cbdMD’s newest CBD gummies sure are tasty. Each one has a bright tropical flavor that you can’t quite distinguish, but taste great anyway. At 50mg per gummy, one would be good for beginners, but two was enough to produce strong, full-bodied relaxation and mental stimulation. While they’re a little pricey, the high price tag is more than worth it for the effects.

Goods

  • Delicious tropical flavors
  • Strong potency 
  • Full-body relaxation

cbdMD CBD PM Oil

cbdMD CBD PM oil

cbdMD has an entire line of something they call “ PM Products.” These products are specifically designed to consume before bed to help promote a healthy sleep cycle and restful night. Their 500mg CBD PM Tincture is naturally flavored with refreshing mint flavors that are calming in and of themselves.

Unfortunately, I did find that only one dose of this oil wasn’t strong enough to induce much sleepiness or relaxation. Two full doses, however, and my muscles felt much, much happier. While I didn’t feel much relaxation in the mind, this tincture was great for preparing my body for bed.

CBD oil for sleep

Product Summary

Packaged and made well, cbdMD’s CBD PM Tincture looks like sleep in a bottle. cbdMD combines broad-spectrum CBD with melatonin to create the ultimate sleepy recipe. At 500mg, one drop may be ideal for beginners, but you’ll need a much higher dose if you have any tolerance. At the end of the day, this tincture really only relaxed my muscles. Still, at least it tasted good!

Goods

  • Nice minty flavor
  • Natural ingredients
  • Relaxed muscles

Bads

  • Not super effective
  • No mind relaxation

cbdMD CBD Oil

cbdMD CBD oil

While some “natural” CBD products can feel like you’ve just taken a bite out of a plant, cbdMD’s are pleasant and almost floral in the mouth. The texture could be improved, but the taste is still more than appealing.

After two drops of this 1500mg Tincture, I felt like I was on top of the world. My muscles felt better, my head was in a great headspace, and I was motivated to tackle my to-do list. This proved to be the perfect tincture to take at the start of the day.

Product Summary

Not only are the Natural tinctures made well, but they work well, too. Great for taking right as your day begins, this floral-tasting tincture produces bright feelings of motivation, bliss, and reduced pain. Effects kicked in in about an hour, and they seemed to linger most of the day. All in all, I was definitely impressed by the potency.
