Weighing the Cost of CBD Products

A final, but certainly important part of the process, is to consider a cost/benefit comparison of CBD products. Let’s look at the amount of CBD in the bottle, and then the cost of each mg of CBD to determine the value. 

Look at the size of the bottle. Thirty mL (30mL) or 1 ounce is the usual size. Sometimes it is 15 mL or a 0.5 ounce.  When calculating, simply change the numbers according to the amount of product there is. Then look at how many milligrams of CBD it has. Now determine how many mg per mL you are getting by dividing the number of mg into the number of mL. For example, a 30mL bottle that contains 1200mg CBD means there are 40mg per 1mL (1200mg ÷ 30mL = 40mg per mL). A full dropper usually contains 1 mL. The company’s website should tell you the definition of one dose for their products.  

Now that you know how many mg there are per 1mL dose, let’s look at the cost per milligram breakdown.  There are many different CBD products on the market. They all have differing amounts of CBD in them at varying prices. Compare a 30mL bottle with 1200mg of high resin CBD that costs $80 with a 30mL bottle with 600mg of CBD for $120. Which do you think is the better buy? 

Purchasing a CBD product can be time-consuming your first time. And it should be.  You are purchasing something you plan to ingest or put on your body. Your CBD product should be high quality, and free from bacteria, mold, pesticides, or solvent residue. And should be affordable for your budget.
