About Real Tested CBD

realtestedcbd.com

Who Are We?

realtestedcbd.com is an unbiased platform designed to distill facts from fallacies. Walk into a supermarket or a yoga studio or an airport and you’ll find CBD on the shelves. You will sometimes find an ingredients label. You may even find the product origin. But often times you will not find the lab tested results associated with that CBD product. Until now.
realtestedcbd.com uses empirical tested data from the independently-owned Earth Labs in Irvine, CA, to show you what’s really in your CBD. (Eg: Where the CBD comes from, how true to the label claims, did it pass pesticide screening, etc.). We are here to mythbust CBD and give consumers the knowledge on cannabis’ non-psychoactive, ‘non-illicit’ cousin, hemp.

What Do You Test Here And How?

The first unbiased platform for testing hemp and CBD-based products in the industry. Along with CBD, we test for all of cannabis’ core compounds like CBG, CBN & even THC. We verify all pure “hemp CBD” products do not go over the .3% threshhold of THC. We only buy products legally available for purchase in the United States, Australia, Canada & the United Kingdom. Our testing partner, KCA Labs uses a 1260 infinity HPLC to analyze the concentrations, potency, and terpenes in the samples taken from our customers. This method ensures that consumers and dispensaries have the proper knowledge to carefully select treatment paths for their clients.

More About Our Founder

Richard Cowan

realtestedcbd.com cofounder is long-time marijuana legalization advocate, Richard Cowan. Cowan’s December 1973 cover-article in the late William F. Buckley’s National Review magazine, calling for American Conservatives to support marijuana legalization drew international attention the absurdity of marijuana prohibition and was described as opening a new front in the drug war.

From August 1992 to August 1995 Cowan served as executive director of NORML.
In 1997 he began MarijuanaNews.com, which has been called the original marijuana blog.

Cowan also pioneered video blogging in 2001 on Marc Emery’s Pot TV. Cowan cofounded two publicly own medical cannabis companies but retired from active management. Cowan decided to help found realtestedcbd.com because the remnants of marijuana prohibition continue to block access to CBD in many areas, and prohibition makes standardized testing more difficult. Cowan now lives in Europe where he works with marijuana legalization activists

What Is CBD Oil

Cannabidiol (CBD) is the second-most-common cannabinoid produced by the cannabis plant and plays a central role in making cannabis one of the most versatile plants in the world. The non-intoxicating counterpart to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD is quickly becoming a sought-after cannabinoid due to growing mainstream interest and a wide range of potential uses. The main problem with the CBD market right now is that it’s almost entirely unregulated and CBD product manufacturers are not required to put their tested results on the box. realtestedcbd.com was created in the void of government action to be a shining light on the industry with unbiased facts freely provided to anyone that cares.

CBD Oil Legal Issues

We know that CBD is only legal in the US due to a legal loophole in the Federal drug laws. At realtestedcbd.com we believe that the cannabis plant which produces CBD (and THC) should be wholly and completely legal on a Federal level.

Failure Of Marijuana Prohibition

Only when hemp and cannabis plants are totally legal, will consumers have the products they deserve. The effectiveness and suppression of marijuana and hemp may be the biggest news story of the 21st century and we are here to cover it with scientific facts.

How Are We Helping?

We donate 1% of all profits to organizations like Feeding America to put consumer-protection practices, policies and laws into place across the US and the rest of the world, and with corporations that directly service consumers.
