For consumers who buy CBD products online, it’s truly a case of buyer beware. There’s no shortage of options for consumers, as there are between 10,000 and 13,000 merchants selling CBD on the internet, according to LegitScript. Two-thirds of those contained significantly more or less CBD than they advertised, with nine containing less than half. Horton called on the Food and Drug Administration to issue more clarity on CBD rules and online marketplaces to seek out private certification, or else risk losing consumer trust permanently. “When you get up to a certain percentage of non-compliance in any market, consumers lose trust and the entire market falls apart,” he said.
