So you have heard a lot about hemp seed oil benefits and would like to purchase it? Where to buy hemp oil? Firstly, you have to define what will be the reason for the usage.

The purposes of usage

• Medical

In case you need hemp oil for treating some disease or just to improve your health, first you can consult the doctor and find out whether you may consume the oil. Hemp oil has side effects. If the answer is positive, you can purchase the oil in a special store or buy it online. As well, according to your country of residence, hemp oil may be provided by the local Health Organization (like in Canada). It is so because in some countries/states hemp oil is still not considered a legal medicine, therefore certain difficulties in getting it may occur.
