Review of PlusCBD Products

PlusCBD Oil Spray 100mg/ 1oz

PlusCBD oil spray can be taken by spraying the product 1-2 times into the mouth. Each CBD oil spray contains up to 3 mg of CBD. 

Available in three different flavors, the PlusCBD Oil spray contains up to 99.19 mg of CBD per 100 mg bottle. This product is recommended for first-time CBD users since CBD serving size is lower compared to the CBD drops.
