CBD in Colchester – [BEST PLACES TO BUY]

The historic market town of Colchester was the first Colonia founded by the Romans in Britain. It is also likely the oldest recorded town in the entire United Kingdom! It held the status as the capital of Roman Britain. However, it bore the brunt of Queen Boudicca’s rebellion in AD 61 as her army destroyed the town.

Colchester retained its position of importance during the medieval era. It received the royal charter from King Richard the Lionheart in 1189. Fast forward to today, and the town remains relevant, given its proximity to London. Colchester is just 50 miles from the UK capital and within 30 miles of two airports.

Pretty much every town worth its salt has embraced the CBD revolution, and Colchester is no different. It is home to a massive array of stores selling CBD oil, edibles, vape liquid, and much more.

When buying from a physical store, make sure each brand includes third-party lab reports with its products. Sometimes called a Certificate of Analysis, this critical document outlines the contents of the item.

For instance, full-spectrum CBD oil in Colchester will contain cannabidiol, CBN, CBG, and THC. The latter cannabinoid is of great interest. In the UK, CBD products must contain less than 0.2% THC. The Provacan range of oils falls well within range, containing less than 0.05%! If there is no third-party lab report, it is difficult to trust the seller in question.

A lot of stores selling CBD act as a third-party for other brands. As a result, they may not know a great deal about the company it promotes. When you shop for CBD online, it is far easier to learn about an organisation.

It is easy to find CBD capsules in Colchester when you shop online.

The practice of using this form of consumption is widespread amongst those that don’t enjoy the taste of CBD oil. It is also easier to measure how much you use. For instance, you know how much is in each pill, assuming the brand is accurate in its labelling. Using CBD capsules is as easy as swallowing one with a sip of water.

We continually mention the importance of third-party lab testing because the CBD industry remains unregulated in the UK. This will hopefully change soon. However, for now, many products on the market don’t contain the cannabinoids claimed by the company.

In 2019, BBC News reported an issue with the industry as it stands. It referenced a report by the Centre for Medical Cannabis, which blind-tested 30 CBD products. The industry body got the products online and from physical stores. Incredibly, 45% of these products had relatively high levels of THC. Almost 25% of products contained a solvent called dichloromethane. Side effects attributed to it include shortness of breath and wheezing.

Moreover, only 38% of the products contained a CBD level within 10% of what was advertised on the label. One of the samples came from a high street pharmacy chain. The bottle cost £50 and contained no CBD! Sadly, there is no legal requirement to test these products.

As a result, it is up to the consumer to locate reputable brands that can prove their claims. At Provacan, checking out our stock is as easy as reading our third-party lab reports. If we say each CBD capsule contains 96mg of the compound, you know we are honest. Why? Because of the third-party reports!
