Quality Assessment of Cannabidiol Rich Cannabis Extracts Purchased on the Internet

Research shows that cannabis has a beneficial impact on many different health issues and, as a consequence, concentrated cannabis derived products are becoming increasingly popular. Above all, high Cannabidiol (CBD) and low Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) extracts are aggressively marketed by many vendors via internet-based shops. As with "classical" medication or food supplements, assessment of product safety is an important issue. Because many different non-standardized production methods are used and no international accepted technical verification procedures of the final products are yet available, the quality of CBD oils generally cannot be guaranteed.
