Best CBD Drinks

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-intoxicating cannabis compound used in health and wellness products. Most people take it as CBD oil but there are dozens of other product types, including CBD-infused drinks.

They offer a pleasant, convenient way to get the benefits of CBD. Having said that, our third-party reports have found that CBD drinks often contain incorrect amounts of CBD, so you need to choose a reputable brand.

To help you find high-quality options, we compared dozens of brands. Here’s our list of the best CBD drinks you can currently buy.

How we chose

We chose these CBD drinks from a list of over 3000 CBD products and 150 brands, comparing them by third-party lab test results, hemp quality, reputation, price, and other criteria. We also made sure to include different types of drinks.

All of our content is written and reviewed by a team of medical doctors, nurse practitioners, nutritionists, and other health experts knowledgeable about CBD and cannabis.

We also act as a CBD industry watchdog by doing our own independent investigations.

For example, we send CBD products for testing at an independent lab and publish our findings in market reports. We also collect and publish data on CBD prices to help you make an informed choice.

How to choose the best CBD Drinks

Here are some tips to help you find the best CBD beverage:

• Third party testing: Reputable brands send their products for testing at an independent lab to verify their safety and CBD content. You should only buy third party tested products.
• Type of CBD: There are three kinds of CBD; isolate, full spectrum, and broad spectrum. Research suggests that full spectrum CBD is the most effective because it contains all of the cannabinoids and terpenes found in cannabis. However, if you need to avoid THC, go with isolate or broad-spectrum products.
• Added ingredients: If you’re taking CBD for a specific reason, added ingredients like l-theanine can be a great addition.
• Price: CBD can be pricey, especially if you’re taking it daily. Be sure to look at the price per mg of CBD to see if you’re getting a good deal.

Check out our detailed guide for a full explanation of how to find reputable CBD companies and choose the best products.

Safety and side effects

Research has demonstrated that CBD is a safe compound with few and minor side effects. The most common issues reported in studies include:

• Tiredness and drowsiness
• Diarrhea and nausea
• Low blood pressure and lightheadedness
• Changes in appetite or weight
• Dry mouth

CBD can also interact with prescription drugs, including anti-seizure medications. That’s why we recommend talking with your doctor before using it, especially if you’re already taking prescription medicine.

Most studies reporting these side effects used very large doses of CBD, so they’re not likely to happen for most people.

Legality

Hemp derived CBD products (with 0.3% or less THC) are federally legal in the United States. However, a few states have more restrictive laws. Some ban CBD completely or only allow THC free products, so it’s best to research the particular state you’re curious about.
