The potential health benefits of CBD oil have become a matter of national news. However, consumers looking for high quality products are often met with a barrage of choices, and because the industry is mostly unregulated, doing your research is important.

That is why I built this blog. I want to help my readers find the right products for there needs, as well as help them understand the emerging science behind CBD oil.

Read my Highland Pharms review below to find out why it is one of the leaders in the CBD hemp oil market.

About Highland Pharms

Highland Pharms has been in the CBD oil business since 2015, making them one of the older companies in the market. They have become an industry leader in that time.

In terms of quality, they have a reputation for being reliable, consistent, and trustworthy.

Highland Pharms uses CO2 processing for a clean, full spectrum, CBD Oil made from pharmaceutical grade organic hemp. When used in combination, the full range of cannabinoids and phytonutrients in the hemp plant are said to have a multiplying effect on the beneficial qualities for health – the so-called “Entourage Effect.”

Other important quality indicators include third-party testing with transparent lab reports, eco-friendly packaging, and other details I will cover in the full review below.

First, let’s take an overview of the catalog of products on offer:

Highland Pharms CBD Products

Highland Pharms uses their high-end full spectrum CBD Hemp Oil in a wide range of deliverables. The only product where they use a CBD isolate is in their crystals. Everything else contains a full range of cannabinoids, the latest third party chemical analysis of which you can find on their website.

CBD Hemp Oil Drops

Because they do not do a CBD isolate process, there are trace amounts of THC in their CBD oil, although it does remain under .3% by dry weight. They stay well under the federal limits, which keeps their product legal and it doesn’t have psychoactive properties.

Highland Pharms answers the question some are asking right about now in their F.A.Q.: Could this product cause you to fail a drug test? They say the amount of CBD oil you would need to take for this to be a real risk would be in the 1000mg a day plus range…way more than typical for most users of this supplement.

So, the basic answer is no, but if you are super worried about passing a drug test at work, you may want to look for a CBD oil that provides an isolated form of CBD for the added sense of security.

Sizes: Getting progressively cheaper by the mg, you can pick up Highland Pharms CBD Oil in 250mg, 500mg, 1250mg, 6000mg, and even 15,000mg tincture bottles. They also have a pet friendly version if you have Fido in mind.

CBD Capsules

For convenience, it is hard to beat gel caps since you get precise dosing every time, without fussing with the tincture bottles and eyedroppers. They come in 15mg, 25mg, 50mg and 75mg doses.

Vegan? The gelatin in the gel caps won’t work for you, but they do have a powdered hemp extract pill in a 100mg does that is vegan friendly.

Highland Pharms Gummies

Highland Pharms recently switched to using their full spectrum Hemp Oil in these gummies, which do give them a bit of a hempy taste that may bother some and delight others. They come in 10mg and 20mg doses, with several counts to choose from.

Vaping Products

The final category that I will review are the vape products offered at Highland Pharms. They are really doing some different stuff than the normal over there, so if you are a vaper, read on.

First, they only use 100% Vegetable Glycerin for their juice. They do not use the Propylene Glycol found in most vape liquid (the PG in the VG/PG base). This means a little less of the bright flavor and less of the “throat hit” usually associated with the PG part of the equation.

However, it also means less throat irritation (and some are very sensitive to PG) and one less non-natural ingredient in your vape. It is a healthier alternative than most vape products, which is one big reason for its popularity.

Second, they have two lines of vape juice. Highland Pharms, which is focused on CBD at two different concentration levels. And, FX CBD Vape Oil, which comes in several strengths and is boosted with terpenes from the hemp plant thought to boost creativity, focus, and memory. Some users of the product report an enhanced effect from the addition of these natural compounds found in hemp.

Highland Pharms Reviews

There is a reason why it is easy to recommend this brand: The pros far outweigh the cons. Unless budget is your number one priority, Highland Pharms is definitely worth checking out.

PROS:

Transparent Third-Party Testing

If you want to see the latest lab results on Highland Pharms CBD oil, then you can view it right on their website. It will clearly show a wide range of cannabinoids, verifying the “full spectrum” claims made by this company. You will find levels of CBD, CBDV, CBG, CBC, CBGA and CBN in their hemp oil.

Pharmaceutical Grade Hemp

Developed specifically for high levels of a wide range of cannabinoids, and low levels of THC, the strains of hemp used at Highland Pharms are very high quality. Unlike strains developed for their use in fiber and textile applications, this is hemp that is genetically designed to maximize cannabinoids.

CO2 Extraction

The method of extraction used by Highland Pharms is called Supercritical CO2, which uses carbon dioxide and pressure to extract all of the phytochemicals from the entire hemp plant, leaving behind no residues, chemicals or heavy metals.

Full Spectrum Cannabinoids

Although many people are familiar with CBD, it is only one of several compounds that are considered cannabinoids produced by hemp. Some believe this kind of “full spectrum” formulation offers superior health benefits since these compounds seem to work together along with the body’s endocannabinoid system. The CBD hemp oil from this company is NOT a CBD isolate.

Organic, Non-GMO, Domestically Sourced, Hemp

Yeah. All those things. Boxes checked. In fact, they work very closely with their grower who is based in Colorado to continue to develop the best pharmaceutical grade hemp on the market, demonstrating a very high commitment to the quality of their final product.

Bitcoin

Looking to pay your bill with cryptocurrency? Good news. They currently accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Steem and NEO* (*as of 6/28/18). Nice perk!

Eco-Friendly Packaging

Going out of their way to minimize their carbon footprint, Highland Pharms uses biodegradable potato starch for stuffing your order to prevent breakage during shipping.

CONS:

Costly

Okay look, I had to really kind of dig to find something negative to say about this company. If I have any complaint to offer, it is probably just the price. This is not a place to go for a rock-bottom-bargain. However, to be honest, I think it is reasonable for all of the attention paid to sourcing quality ingredients and top-notch manufacturing.
