With the rise in popularity of CBD products, it's important to be aware of the potential scams that exist in the market. Don't be fooled by false claims and misleading information.
We've all seen emails or ads stating a company is selling "the CURE" for any number of ailments. Here's what you need to know to protect yourself from CBD scams.
What are CBD scams?
CBD scams can take many forms, including mislabeled products, false advertising, and deceptive marketing practices. Some companies may claim their products contain more CBD than they actually do, while others may make unsubstantiated health claims.
These claims might be seated in truth but blown out of proportion in order to sell their specific product. One that had come to our attention recently was a "Tinnitus Cure", which was actually just low strength, full spectrum CBD. Taking CBD regularly can help with tinnitus, but it entirely depends on the original cause or type and it's by no means a "cure".
How to spot a CBD scam
Be wary of products that make extravagant promises or guarantees. Look for third-party lab testing results to verify the potency and purity of the CBD. Avoid products that are priced significantly lower or higher than the average market price, as this could be a red flag for a scam.
Common CBD scams to watch out for
One common CBD scam is the "free trial" offer, where you are charged exorbitant fees after signing up for a supposedly free sample. Another scam involves pyramid schemes, where individuals are encouraged to recruit others to sell CBD products in exchange for a commission.
