SEATTLE - Cannabidiol is one of the hottest supplements on the market today. The chemical, derived from the Cannabis sativa plant and better known as CBD, is now found in chocolates, gummy candies, sodas and more. One place it shouldn’t be found: Amazon. But a Washington Post investigation found that it’s possible, even easy, to buy the forbidden compound on the online retail site. Eleven of 13 items The Post purchased last month from Amazon contained best cbd, according to an analysis that The Post paid Evio Labs, which specializes in analyzing products for Highline Wellness CBD reviews the cannabis industry, to conduct. One product even had a small amount of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the psychoactive chemical in cannabis plants that gets people high. One of the products The Post purchased and tested came from Boulder, Colo.-based Weller, which sells a variety of CBD products on Amazon. The company designed new packaging for goods on Amazon different from what it uses on its own website. Its Dark Chocolate Coconut Bites on Amazon omits any mention of its most important ingredient.

"It’s the same product," said Weller co-founder John Simmons. His company is simply trying to navigate a business with inconsistent rules as the Highline Wellness CBD reviews market moves into the mainstream, Simmons said. None of the listings contained CBD in their descriptions. But consumers could find them by knowing which products contain cbd hemp extract already - by checking reviews, social media or other websites that did their own testing. The Post’s investigation illustrates the challenges Amazon faces in policing its platform, which has transformed into an enormous flea market supplied by millions of sellers listing hundreds of millions of items. To keep CBD products off its site, Amazon says it deploys advanced algorithms designed to sniff out descriptions that could hint at the banned ingredient. Amazon removed some, but not all, of the product listings after being asked about them by The Post. The company said it was investigating with each of the sellers.

"Bad actors who attempt to undermine our store do not reflect the flourishing community of honest entrepreneurs that make up the vast majority of our seller community," Amazon spokesman Patrick Graham said. Amazon declined to say why it forbids the sale of CBD, other than to say it can decide what to sell like any retailer. CBD is still controversial and its legal situation is murky, with some federal agencies, states and localities prohibiting its sales. best cbd is usually derived from hemp, Highline Wellness CBD reviews a crop that was legalized in a 2018 farm bill. But it remains illegal to put the compound in food-based Lazarus Naturals.
