CBD Top 5 field guide
About CBD Top 5
CBD Top 5 is an independent informational magazine built around one simple idea: complicated CBD questions become easier when the important parts are organized into five.
What the name means
“Top 5” is more than a list of five brands. It is the editorial structure used across the publication:
- Five-step guides show readers what to check and in what order.
- Five-factor reviews compare brands using one disclosed 100-point method.
- Top 5 lists narrow a crowded category to five defensible choices.
- Five-question explainers make labels, COAs and regulations easier to understand.
- Five-point news briefs explain what an industry development means for consumers.
What we are—and are not
CBD Top 5 is an educational publication. It is not a CBD retailer, healthcare provider or substitute for professional medical advice. We do not set personal dosages, diagnose conditions or promise that CBD will produce a medical outcome.
How the magazine can make money
CBD Top 5 may earn revenue from clearly labeled advertising, sponsored content, newsletter placements, affiliate relationships and future educational products such as books. Financial relationships are disclosed, and none can purchase a ranking or alter an editorial score.
Our editorial standard
We prefer evidence readers can inspect: current labels, batch-level laboratory reports, comparable numbers, responsible claims and reachable companies. When the evidence is incomplete, we say so. When something changes, we correct it.
Questions, correction requests and partnership inquiries can be submitted through the contact page.
