Where to buy

Why is where I buy CBD important?

Probably the easiest answer is you need to know what you are buying, first and foremost. It is sad but true that according to the Department of Agriculture, 30% or more of the products on the market today labeled CBD are not. Another batch beyond that are made of hemp seed oil. While hemp seed oil may be healthy, it contains no cannabinoids, therefore no CBD, and simply cannot provide even one glimpse of the benefits that cannabinoids are promising towards your wellness*. That is why it is important to know where to buy CBD oil from a credible, up front, transparent grower/processor dedicated to producing organic CBD oil – cannabidiol oil that is total spectrum, closely monitored, and with your safety and well being in mind first and foremost.

Two other important factors are where the hemp is grown, and how. All Vid-CBD oil is made from organically grown and processed, no-till agriculture practices industrial hemp. Our products are as pure as we can grow, process, and bottle them. They are all grown without pesticides, insecticides, or any other “-cides” that can expose you to anything of any kind that should not be going in your body.

Every plant that goes into any product Vid offers is grown in the United States. We not import any hemp extract. We know each and every grower and monitor his or her farm management to insure the best, cleanest, most bioavailable hemp we can grow. While there are some imports that are good quality, primarily from Europe and from companies with long track records of growing organically for medical research, the vast majority of imports are highly suspect, with no traceable history or provenance, and handle and extracted by who knows what methods. Many we have seen tested from some overseas sources come back laden with heavy metals, pesticide residue, and other unwelcome and even dangerous contents. We believe in supporting local farmers, providing local jobs, and having a complete chain of quality control available, something you cannot have when products are grown and processed overseas.

If it were our bodies, if it were us using something with this much potential for interacting with nearly every critical system inside us, well, we would like to know where the stuff came from, how it was grown, and was the plant and laboratory spotless that it was produced in? Did they make sure there were no pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, GMO’s, or heavy metal contaminants anywhere near the plants or processing? Those questions do not even touch on the social concerns of how their workers were treated, were they paid a fair wage so they could feed their families, and how many miles did it get shipped and for how long and how many carbon and water credits were covered for it coming thousands of miles? HPN believes strongly in protecting your wellness and our planet, while providing the highest quality products we are able to manufacture for our Vid-CBD and other lines.

We strongly believe industrial hemp can help save family farms, and has the potential for making a huge difference in people’s wellness and well being*. We are betting you do, too, and we think you will agree after using our high quality complete profile products.

How do I pick out where to buy CBD products?

When you are deciding what CBD product to try or use, several things come to mind almost immediately about who should get your business. You can see above how we feel about knowing what goes into the product and how the farmers and processors are treated. There is more to it than just that.

You need to take a good look at the packaging, labels, and instructions with every CBD oil product of any type you are thinking about purchasing. It is double or triple sealed to keep the product safe? We child resistant, tamper proof double seal our bottles, use tamper evident droppers, and seal our packaging. Does the label tell you exactly what is in the product, and clearly the concentration and how much the bottle holds? You would be surprised how many companies will not tell you the amount in their packaging. Ours are clearly marked and consistent between all products. Are the instructions clear and easy to follow? Ours are as simple as it gets. Is there a website address and/or other means to contact the company if you have issues or questions? We have a call center available 24/7/365, and do not hide our contact information, because we are above board and transparent in everything we do, as well as being totally legal. Does the label or package make any crazy claims, or does their website? Ours has no unproven claims, and not only is our website listed, so is our address. You can note we are US based, not some foreign country. Does the website tell you where the company is located even? Fully. Or where they are licensed and where their hemp is grown? All in the USA, Colorado and North Carolina, with plants in both locations.

In other words, you need to be a good consumer, but you should be about anything that goes in your body, period. When you go into a store that sells CBD, you do not know how long it has been on the shelf, or how it was stored, let alone where it came from. Supporting independent organic producers puts you in direct contact with knowledgeable, trained people who can answer your questions. You will not get that in a store, even ones selling medical or recreational Cannabis, because their budtenders are trained to deal with a totally different set of information. HPN believes in meeting the need for increased wellness and well-being*, and doing it responsibly. That is why we suggest you start with the lowest dosage full spectrum organic CBD hemp oil we sell first, and then work up in dosage as you may need to reach your wellness goals.

At Vid we never get upset if a customer calls us and asks questions, because we know we need to help them find the real answers to what they need to know. Our website, as you can tell, is straight from the hip. We want to educate our customers because we know healthier people, healthier pets, are happier people and pets. Happier usually means a lot better place for everyone to live together on this big, blue ball.

Can I buy quality CBD oil online?

Yes, you can, and in many ways, it is the best way, since many states are not nearly as far along in cultivation and safe, organic practices for growing industrial hemp as Colorado. We have expanded into growing and processing in North Carolina due to available pristine growing soil and conditions, which allows us to process and ship with less carbon footprint and to get product in your hands faster. Since Colorado was one of the first two states to legalize recreational as well as medical Cannabis, and North Carolina early on was growing under grant for medical research, we have more than a few years experience over most all other states. Thanks to the personal need to heal, HPN’s founder has several decades of knowledge, proprietary cultivation, and technology behind the practices we use to grow our high cannabinoid content hemp.

HPN’s principals are also heavily involved with governmental issues, medical research, and industry standards, all from a pure organic position. When you purchase Vid-CBD, your purchase is via a secured site, with a third party secured payment system. We have a trained group of specialists available at “Call Ruby” to answer your questions. We take great pride in what we do, and stand behind every product we make.

At Vid, helping improve conditions is what it is all about, whether it is your wellness*, the planet, or life in general. We sort of live our lives like that.

You have our word on that.

CBD Manufacturing

Our Moral Compass: How HPN Feels About CBD Manufacturing and Marketing

CBD is the old “new” method on the “let’s see what else is out there” wellness* block. Everyone is jumping into the lucrative business model in one form or another. While competition is great and we believe in the American dream of free enterprise, it also concerns us at Vid. We know a lot goes into making a product that is as clean, natural, and good as we can produce it. We spent a lot of energy and money learning how, and spend even more getting it to you. It is not the money investment that has us concerned, though. It is the money people stand to make if they cut corners, and have no moral compass about how they put more in their pockets.

There are some really honorable companies out there that we respect, study, and look up to in the industry. We know they do things right and they work hard to provide the public the best hemp products and information they are able to, hopefully providing a platform for improving the life of the person utilizing their – and our – products. Sadly, there are way too many “companies” who are more worried about stacking up their profit margins than taking care of their customers, over charging, under delivering, and making business models based on massive profits for their up-lines and not the farmer or people in the trenches. Some of them are not even selling what they claim, pure false advertising and taking advantage of the consumer who does not know the difference between CBD oil and hemp seed oil. We try to educate our customers, because we believe that making the choice of adding CBD for life improvement* is a smart one, and we want you to have honest facts about what you are putting into your system.

The approval process and laboratory work required to really know what you are putting out to the public is a long, expensive one. It takes trained scientists, researchers, laboratory technicians, and ultra-clean, constantly monitored facilities. It takes intense attention to detail in the daily care and the raising of hemp plants that those products are made from. It means constant attention to regulations and legalities, constantly in flux and application. It takes a strong moral compass to do the right thing, looking out for your fellow man and being conscious of the planet while still being good, responsible business owners. And, we know you can buy CBD oil a lot of places, and we hope you choose to buy it from Vid.

Our Take on Providing the Best Pure CBD Oil Possible

That is why Vid-CBD takes such a strong stand on quality control and chain of responsibility for all our products. We first manufactured for the medical industry, and doctors were our primary clients. We have very high control standards that start with our seed, and continue from the moment the seed is germinated through shipping and placement of the product at the retail location. We did not even trust the available shipping methods where we had no control over the supply chain – our trained, background cleared representatives hand delivered and set up the racks to doctor offices across the country, making sure triple seals were intact, bottles were undamaged, all instructions were available, and questions answered.

There is considerable expense that goes into manufacturing, and where the materials come from that are in any quality product, and Vid-CBD oil is no exception. There is a lot you have to check, including where the plants are grown, has the soil been tested, what conditions are the plants grown under, and what are the plants exposed to. This covers a range of things from the seed source, the fertilizers and soils used, even the ambient air that is pumped in around the plants. All the Green Growing Best Practices in the world are no good if the plants are bathed in left over fumes from a freeway. At Vid we know where our seed comes from, we painstakingly test our soil, water, and air quality, we only use organic, natural fertilizer and pest control. We want to know every single thing that affects the quality of our hemp, so we can provide you hemp oil – organic CBD oil – that is as good as we possibly can.

The chain of control inside the manufacturing plant is critical. Cannabidiol oil, as a natural product, has a range of temperatures that need maintained during the manufacturing process to keep the integrity and components of the product intact. What we mean by that is get it too hot, it will break down some of the most essential compounds contained in the oil. Get it too cold, you can damage the molecules of the product, causing alteration. Conditions have to be ultra sterile, because we know you want the cleanest, freshest, most bioavailable pure CBD product on the market. Our packaging process is rigorously controlled, with every step monitored to assure an ultra clean, pure product is bottled every time. Our units are triple sealed for your protection, and we post our most current third party laboratory testing results on our website like clockwork.

We are on a mission here at Vid, and it involves you. We believe that natural, full spectrum CBD oil has tremendous potential to help many different issues we face, including health, emotions, psychological and physical well being*, our survival in our environment, and that of our families as well as our loved pets, livestock, and other beings. We feel strongly that utilizing alternative methods towards a healthy life and lifestyle are tantamount to survival in an every increasingly stressed and polluted environment. We take a strong stand in helping however possible to clean up that environment, offering a high quality product at a fair, reasonable price, produced with the best practices we learn and apply. We also give back through an international reforestation program that fights poverty and addresses women’s issues – for more information see TreeSisters under Pass It Forward.

At Vid we do not think taking care of the planet and making good decisions as stewards towards it should be a political football. It is common sense for the survival of the species and the planet, and we want to leave the place better for our children than we inherited it. That is why we strongly believe that responsible “green” agriculture is the best thing, and we responsibility manufacture our products, work hard to control waste, water use, and provide a no-chemical whenever feasible environment while we do it. We apply green best practices in all our fields. We use organically balanced soil, natural compost, no artificial or chemical based fertilizers, fungicides, pesticides, or insecticides. We utilize companies that manufacture the products we use in the most sustainable methods we can find. Even down to our UV blocking glass bottles that keep your product healthier, longer, we do everything we can to minimize our footprint.

Trying to be as environmentally and conservation sound is not easy, nor cheap. We are a business. But we also recognize there is a lot of hunger for profit in the CBD and hemp industries. We have a strong social belief that a natural product that has the potential to improve wellness* in so many ways ought to be available at a reasonable, fair price with no stacked on fees for huge marketing programs and maximum profiteering. We believe that a pure spectrum CBD oil product should have everything in it that nature intended. That is why we decided to expand Vid and all our lines – CDXX, Bind, Durango, FIDO, Sanctuary, SANA, and Preservation, nationwide at a price point the average person can afford. It is our goal, it is our mantra, and it is our prayer – Pass it Forward, One Drop At A Time. You will be seeing a lot more products covering a wide range of needs and applications. Our vehicle to pass forward now and to future generations is pure, high quality, natural CBD oil in all its forms.

Do something right for yourself and for the planet. Start with Vid-CBD.

You have our word on that.
