The German hemp magazine "Hanfmagazin" has reported about our brand "BUDDY" and the CBD oils with flavor. The practical mouth spray bottles with lavender, lychee and mint flavors left a very good impression on the testers. Lavender, in particular, surprisingly became the favorite of the man who tried all the products. We've noticed this time and time again with other end users as well. So far, lavender hasn't been in many CBD oils or products in general, but it's always a surprising favorite.
A distinction must be made between CBD products that are not intended to have an intoxicating effect and those that have higher levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) - for medical applications such as pain relief.

For consumer products, companies that trade in them must rule out any intoxicating effect.
