"Hemp oil" and "CBD oil" are often used interchangeably, but they're actually different products. Here's how to tell them apart.

Hemp seed oil is a nutritious food product but won't provide CBD benefits.

- CBD oil should have third-party lab testing
- Price: CBD oil is significantly more expensive
