CBD oil in Australia: what to know

Australians searching for CBD oil often encounter conflicting claims. The first thing to understand is that CBD is regulated; an online listing does not by itself establish that a product is lawful, suitable or properly supplied.

What does “CBD oil” describe?

CBD oil generally refers to cannabidiol in a liquid carrier. The phrase does not tell you the concentration, other cannabinoids, ingredients, legal category or quality of the product.

Details to check

• Total CBD and concentration, with measurement units
• Complete carrier ingredients and allergens
• Other cannabinoid results
• Batch number, testing date and matching documents
• Storage, expiry and lawful supply information

Avoid outcome-based shopping

Do not choose a product from promises about sleep, anxiety, pain or other conditions. CBD can cause unwanted effects and interact with medicines. Discuss your circumstances with an appropriately qualified health professional.

Useful next steps
