Terravidaonline, the fastest-growing CBD wholesaler in the US, announced new ZERO THC tinctures will hit the shelves at retailers who sell its products. The THC content in CBD created a lot of pressure for the FDA, in order to regulate what may and may not be sold to the public. The CEO of Terravidaonline, Eddie Mamane, said: “Since there are discrepancies in how different states see the law, we made it easy for our retail partners: now we have a range of ZERO THC products which removes the red tape faced in some states”.

The image above depicts how varying strengths of ZERO THC CBD products will look, ranging from 1000MG, to 2500MG and even the super strong 5000MG.

CBD Has Become So Popular that Isolate Producers in the US May Face a Supply Squeeze

Since the signing of the Farm Bill of 2018 by the US president in December 2018, CBD has become more popular than ever and there is increasing demand by consumers. Even doctors who have read about the effectiveness of CBD for health concerns such as depression, chronic pain, Alzheimer’s disease, acne, anxiety and epilepsy are now prescribing more CBD for their patients than ever before. But does the increased demand match increased supply?

There hasn’t been enough time for the supply side to respond to the increased demand. If any farmers in the northern hemisphere plan to grow hemp, they can only start this coming summer. It is hoped that enough of them will joint the now popular hemp farming otherwise there will be a supply squeeze. Do we know what happens when demand exceeds supply? Prices will rise and those people who cannot afford the high prices will end up shopping by price alone, which means that they will end up purchasing low quality CBD. This is CBD extracted from hemp that was conventionally grown and maybe extracted using butane and ethanol. Products made from such CBD contains traces of harmful chemicals which are then ingested or inhaled or applied topically to the body, only to cause new problems.

Why Quality Matters

Whether you are new or old to the use of CBD, quality matters – as pointed out by a well-known Doctor. With so many CBD brands available out there how does a consumer know which one is good quality and which one is not? With so many versions of CBD in the form of lotions, vapes, capsules, softgels, oils, topicals and edibles, how does a consumer know which one is best? It can be confusing. And, considering the high cost of CBD and the total lack of government guidelines, how does a consumer make a decision?

The best way for a consumer to get the best out of CBD is the buy and use high quality CBD. Why does that matter? Because every user must get the best value for their money. Generally, the better the quality, the higher the price, yet it does not necessarily follow that when a CBD product is expensive it is better quality. That is because the potency of CBD varies from manufacturer to manufacturer so consumers have to make sure that what they get is strong enough to give them the effect that they desire. Consumers have to compare various products and look behind the scenes to discover the practices that each manufacturer follows to make their CBD product, e.g. the extraction process. Consumers must also check what each manufacturer insists on when they buy from the farmers because they want CBD to be made from organic non-GMO hemp. They must also check each manufacturer to find out if they use independent laboratories to certify that the CBD is free from pesticides, free from extraction chemical residues, and it is the right concentration. At the end of the day, every consumer must pay the best price for a high-quality product.

Consumers can actually check the quality of CBD by looking at the colour:

  • Raw CBD is either dark green or almost black because it was not purified. Therefore, it contains terpenes, waxes, chlorophyll, other cannabinoids and other plant matter. It is said that this type of CBD is not readily bioavailable and consumers might want to avoid it.
  • Decarboxylated CBD is also dark but the active ingredients have gone through decarboxylation which changes CBD-A to CBD which is claimed to be more bioavailable.
  • Filtered CBD is the most available type. It is decarboxylated and filtered and it has a lovely green colour. This is high quality CBD that can be compared to a fine brandy that has been triple distilled.

Quality matters. In the absence of government regulation and guidelines, consumers must do their own homework to ensure that they purchase and use high quality CBD products.

Two Example Products Made from High-Quality Non-GMO Certified CBD

Let’s focus on two high quality products made from CBD isolate made by Industrial Hemp Partners (IHP). There are oils, softgels, capsules, vape products, topical products, edibles and even pet products. Skin care products made from CBD are the latest development in the CBD industry.

9 Simple Steps to Dealing with a Broken Tooth

It’s movie night, and you have an obligatory bowlful of popcorn balancing on your lap. You toss a handful of popcorn and — crack — you unknowingly bite down on a kernel with the full power of your jaw. 

Lightning strikes your mouth as you realize this humble kernel broke your tooth. 

Now what? 

Besides pausing the movie and spitting out your mouthful of popcorn and tooth, you might not know your next steps. 

What should you do, and how can you pay for it? Find the answers to these questions and more below:

1. Save the Pieces 

If possible, save any broken pieces of the tooth. Your dentist might need these pieces.

2. Rinse Your Mouth 

Gently rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area. Avoid using hot or cold water, as it might aggravate any exposed nerves. 

3. Control Bleeding 

If you bleed, apply gentle pressure to the area with a clean cloth or gauze. You can also use a cold compress on your jaw or cheek to reduce swelling.

4. Contact Your Dentist

Reach out to your dentist immediately. Explain the situation and try to schedule an emergency appointment. Many dentists reserve slots for urgent cases. If they don’t have a spot available, look at specialty emergency clinics in your area.

5. Get Over-the-Counter Pain Relief

Broken and chipped teeth can hurt, so take some over-the-counter pain relievers to help manage this pain until you can see your dentist. 

6. Check Insurance Coverage

Review your dental insurance policy to understand coverage details. Some policies may cover emergency procedures, while others may have limitations.

7. Discuss Payment Options

If cost is a concern, discuss financing options with your dentist. Some dental offices offer flexible arrangements that give you a break. If you qualify for these plans, you might be able to push out your due date to coincide with your payday. You may even be able to break up your total outstanding amount over several payments. 

8. Take out a Personal Loan

If you’re just shy of what you need to cover your emergency dental expense, consider going online to scope out personal loans. A personal loan may fill in for savings in urgent situations. You can quickly visit a website like MoneyKey to see what you need to apply. If approved, a personal loan gives you the means to pay for your visit upfront and pay off what you owe over time. 

9. Consider Urgent Care Clinics

If your financial situation is such that you can’t afford a personal loan’s payments, reconsider your choice of dentist. Some dental practices apply a sliding scale to their services so that they can provide immediate care at a lower cost for at-risk individuals. 

Next Steps: Thinking About the Future

So, you’ve managed to repair your tooth and pay the bill, too. What’s next? Make sure you hit these three goals soon. They can help you prevent another broken tooth in the future!

  1. Stay on Top of Dental Hygiene: Brush at least twice a day and floss once a day — these simple habits can protect your teeth over time. 
  2. Schedule Regular Checkups: Keeping up with regular cleanings can also help you prevent future dental emergencies. 
  3. Build an Emergency Fund: Sometimes, accidents happen. Consider building an emergency fund specifically for unexpected dental emergencies.
