Some of the most potent oils contain up to 12,000 milligrams (mg) of cannabidiol (CBD) per 30 milliliters (mL). Here are 11 of the best potent options and hands-on reviews of Batch and Nuleaf Naturals oils.
Is CBD legal? The 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp from the legal definition of marijuana in the Controlled Substances Act. This made some hemp-derived CBD products with less than 0.3% THC federally legal. However, CBD products containing more than 0.3% THC still fall under the legal definition of marijuana, making them federally illegal but legal under some state laws. Be sure to check state laws, especially when traveling. Also, keep in mind that the FDA has not approved nonprescription CBD products, and some products may be inaccurately labeled.
Below are some examples of high-strength CBD oils and tinctures.
Healthline employees, who received oils for free, have tested some of the products below. All opinions are their own.

What our tester says
“I tried this oil to relieve muscle pain. I recently had chronic pain in my left shoulder stemming from a nagging rotator cuff injury sustained while surfing. I was in pain every day and it affected my quality of life. The pain altered my sleep for the worse, and I couldn’t swim or surf — my daily form of exercise.
“No amount of physical therapy or prescription drugs were providing lasting relief. This CBD oil was the only thing that blocked the pain. Although it was a new type of physical therapy, proprioceptive-deep tendon reflex therapy, that cured my pain, this CBD not only relieved the pain, it helped improve my mood, which was suffering from being in constant pain.
“CBD is not a miracle cure, but it can help relax your muscles and block the pain signals. I take CBD after I surf, and I’m feeling rejuvenated.
“I’d recommend it to Medical News Today readers as it’s a product from a trusted brand, and I found it effective for easing chronic muscle pain. I think it would best suit an experienced CBD user who needs strong relief, but not a maximum strength dose.”
— Nick Balboa, Healthline writer

CBD type: full-spectrum CBD potency: 3,000 mg per 30-mL bottle COA: available onlineAvailable flavors: Citrus, Mint, Unflavored Third-party tested: yes MNT‘s review This tincture holds USDA organic certification and uses Colorado-grown hemp. It comes in a 1 fl oz bottle with an enclosed dropper. Each bottle of this full-spectrum product contains 3,270 mg of cannabinoids, which includes 3,000 mg of CBD, 75 mg of THC, and other cannabinoids, such as CBN, CBG, cannabichromene (CBC), and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA).
There are graduated markings on the dropper at .25, .50, .75, and 1 mL. A 1 mL serving is equal to three-quarters of a dropper. A 1 mL serving provides roughly 100 mg of CBD, 2.5 mg of THC, and 6.5 mg of other cannabinoids. The company claims this oil’s THC content is within federal guidelines of less than 0.3% of the product’s total weight.
The tincture features CBD oil derived through the Supercritical CO2 extraction process, which is reportedly cleaner and better for the environment than other extraction methods. Other ingredients include an organic coconut MCT oil base.
It is available in unflavored or with organic citrus and mint flavoring. Organic rosemary extract functions as a preservative.
Because this is such a high-strength product, the manufacturer recommends starting with a low dose and increasing gradually.

What our tester says
“Having tried Batch CBD’s Calm Oil, which I loved, I was eager to try this more potent, full-spectrum Gold Reserve Oil.
“I used the product late afternoon or early evening when I had completed meetings for the day and needed to get into a productive and focused work groove for the next few hours. I wanted to ease into the late afternoon/evening and take the edge off from the day, but still wanted to be fresh and focused enough to finish up tasks and to-dos from the day. This was perfect.
“This oil worked really well for me. I took slightly over half of the recommended dose, which is 0.5 mL. Because it’s described by the brand as a “heavy-hitter” that’s “not meant for rookies,” I wanted to ease into it. On days where I was feeling edgy or tapped out due to back-to-back meeting marathons and too much morning caffeine, this was a great reset. It allowed me to wind down yet feel fresh and focused.
“The taste is very subtle and just very slightly earthy and citrusy — quite pleasant. The Batch website describes it as having a “slightly citrus flavor,” which I’d say is spot on, but it tastes very natural.
“The oil had a very slight citrus smell – I honestly didn’t even notice it at first.
“I would recommend it [to MNT readers], though I agree with the brand’s description that it’s potent, so buyers should be aware.”

The table below provides a quick comparison of the strongest CBD oils in this article.
Before people select CBD oils, they should research different products to find one that is safe and reliable. Customer reviews from third-party sites, such as the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Trustpilot, are useful tools when researching brands.
Individuals may want to review each product’s ingredient list and concentration levels to ensure it is safe and suitable for them. It is important to check for potential allergens in the full ingredients list.
Additionally, people should check if their chosen product is lab-grade and third-party tested.
A person using CBD for the first time may find a product with a lower dosage more suitable. They can then gradually increase the dosage as desired.
Read our complete CBD buyer’s guide or learn how to buy the best CBD oil.
According to research , CBD can negatively interact with medications, such as anticonvulsants, including diazepam, lamotrigine, and phenytoin.
People should also not use CBD alongside sedative drugs, such as barbiturates, and narcotics, such as codeine and morphine. Anybody taking medication should speak with a qualified healthcare professional prior to taking CBD.
CBD can make people drowsy, so people should avoid driving and handling heavy machinery when taking this product.
A person taking CBD for the first time should avoid strong CBD. It is better to start with a lower dose and increase the dosage slowly. However, people should not exceed the recommended dose a brand states on their products’ packaging.
A person should always speak with a healthcare professional before using CBD products.
While there is a wealth of research regarding the effects of cannabis and THC, few high quality human trials are investigating CBD alone.
It is difficult for experts to predict precisely how differences in strength affect CBD’s effectiveness.
Based on the findings of a 2020 review , CBD appears relatively safe at various doses. However, the authors did not pinpoint a specific dose or range of doses they believed would benefit everyone.
Most of the studies included in this review evaluated daily doses of 300–600 mg of CBD, but a few studies reported using doses as high as 2,000 mg per day.
Everyone responds differently to CBD, so it is best for people using CBD for the first time to start at a lower dose.
Purchasing a higher CBD concentration product may be more cost-effective and convenient for some people.
For example, someone who uses 300 mg of CBD for chronic pain or anxiety would use 12 full droppers of 25 mg of CBD oil. They could get a similar 300 mg dose by using only one and a half droppers of 2,000 mg CBD oil.
However, stronger products may provide more CBD per unit but may lead to inaccurate dosing.
Learn more about CBD dosage.
CBD does not appear to cause any significant side effects, even at doses above 150 mg per kilogram (kg) of body weight.
However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns that using CBD products may produce the following adverse effects:
drowsiness
gastrointestinal problems
diarrhea
decreased appetite
mood changes, such as irritability
liver injury (with certain drug interactions)
interactions with alcohol and other drugs The FDA has approved only one CBD product, called Epidiolex , which is for severe forms of childhood epilepsy. The FDA does not regulate any other CBD products.
Learn more about the side effects of CBD.
Label accuracy People should avoid purchasing products from companies that have inaccurate labeling. The FDA has a database of CBD companies to which it has issued warnings, as the content did not match the amount of CBD on the product’s labels.
In a recent study, researchers found that nearly half of the 80 CBD products it looked at that were available for sale in central Kentucky had inaccurate label information.
However, most reputable CBD manufacturers will provide third-party lab results to their customers.
People should always use caution when shopping for CBD, especially high-potency products. High-potency CBD products can be inaccurately labeled. Some products may not even contain CBD.
Additionally, some CBD products may contain enough THC to produce a positive result in a drug test.
Learn more about THC and drug tests.
A person should always speak with a healthcare professional before trying any supplement, including CBD oil, especially if they are currently taking medication. If they are considering taking CBD for a particular health problem, such as sleep issues, anxiety, or pain, they should speak with a doctor to make sure it is a suitable supplement to try.
If they experience side effects after taking CBD, they should stop using it and contact a doctor.
Below are some of the most commonly asked questions about strong CBD oils.
What CBD oil has the highest strength?
Full-spectrum CBD oil is likely to be the most potent type as it contains the full range of cannabinoids.
One of the strongest levels of CBD on the market in the U.S. is 12,000 mg per 30 mL. This features in a Zatural CBD oil.

CBD oil is a popular product with many potential benefits. However, more high quality, controlled trials are necessary to verify the medical applications of CBD.
People who currently use CBD products but feel they may benefit from stronger alternatives can use this article for guidance. Those who have never used CBD but are interested in trying it should start with a low dose and gradually work up to more potent products.
People should also discuss CBD with a doctor, as it might interact with medications and supplements.
