For CBD oil to be considered organic the hemp it derives from must be grown only using organic growing methods. Second of all, if the CBD oil is truly organic then the extraction process will involve no synthetic chemicals. This is why manufacturers should use a clean CO2 extraction process. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a naturally occurring gas. About 0.04% of the earth’s atmosphere is CO2.
Non-organic CBD oil may come from hemp that does not follow organic growing guidelines. It could come from imported hemp where growing standards are not regulated. Non-organic hemp farmers may incorporate pesticides, GMOs, synthetic fertilizers, or ion radiation in there growing methods.
As for processing, non-organic CBD may use extracting processes that include harsh chemicals or solvents. For example, hydrocarbon extraction can include petroleum, butane, propane, or naphtha. Sometimes solvent residues can remain in the CBD even after the evaporation process. Certain studies have found toxic residual solvents in non-organic CBD. Some of these harsh chemicals may increase the risk of developing specific types of cancer.

This infographic submission sets out to explain what organic CBD oil for pets is. The first section explains where CBD comes from and what makes it organic. The section is a little confusing, as there are many things crammed into a tight space. There is an illustration that shows CO2 and organic hemp together, but doesn’t quite explain what is happening or why. While the upside-down text looks good with the image. It’s not very practical, and is difficult to read. In general, the illustrations and icons have a strong clip-art feel, and are inconsistent in style. Overall, we give this a D.
