How does CBD help manage stress & anxiety?
How does CBD help manage stress & anxiety?

Watching and being a part of history right now is just unreal. Our world is in shambles and I don’t know about you but so is my anxiety. I personally have been taking CBD oil every. single. day. for the past 9 months and it has done WONDERS for me! BUT I had to recently up my dose to more mg because, you know, Rona fears.

Now, let’s dive into some brain power…

Did you know that we all have an Endocannabinoid System in our bodies? Endocannabinoids, also called endogenous cannabinoids, are molecules made by your body. They’re similar to cannabinoids, but they’re produced by YOUR body. Yes, you read that right, we produce cannabinoids in our own bodies!

————> SO that is why cannabis and its properties are soooo good for you. <—————

Now, every body chemistry is different, so no EC system is the same. This is why some people will get different effects from either cannabis or CBD. One CBD product will work amazingly for one person but another person might not get the same effects. This is why we cannot stress enough that all CBD products are NOT created equal and it is important to talk to your CBD dealers here at the Honey Pot so we can try to find the one that is best for YOU and your needs!

So now that you know a little about this system let’s dive into the different receptors that your EC molecules will attach to.

CB1 – receives THC molecules; these receptors are concentrated in the brain, central nervous system, and scattered throughout other bodily tissue. They mediate many of the psychoactive effects associated with cannabis.

CB2 – receives CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC molecules; these receptors are found in peripheral organs and cells associated with the immune system throughout the body. The highest concentration of these receptors is in the gut.

Your gut is central to your nervous system. The nerves in your gut communicate with the brain in your central nervous system, relaying the health of the gut and immune system. This nervous system can also produce neurochemicals, like dopamine and serotonin, which can impact mood and mental health!

So, CBD can help your stress and anxiety levels because the CBD receptors are primarily found in your gut and your gut literally communicates with your brain. So when CBD is taken, the molecules adhere to your CB2 receptors and kicks cortisol (bad stress hormone) to the curb and dopamine (happy hormone) and serotonin (happy chemical) are naturally produced!

Now lets all get that CBD oil and chug the heck out of it.

(well not really, you would literally sleep for dayyz)

Churros w/CBD Infused Vanilla Caramel Sauce
Churros w/CBD Infused Vanilla Caramel Sauce

It’s the PERFECT treat for Cinco de Mayo…and since the rona is around, and we got time…why not experiment!

These are something out of a dream, I mean-soft pillowy dough fried to perfection, coated in cinnamon sugar and then dipped in a CBD infused VANILLA CARAMEL SAUCE…..yaaaasssss

Make these

You know you want to

Yes you

We’re talking to you.

Recipe adapted by THC Hemp Connoisseur

Churro Ingredients:

  • 1 cup water
  • 3 oz butter
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4.5 oz all purpose flour, sifted
  • 4 eggs
  • Bowl of cinnamon sugar

Directions:

In a medium sauce pot with a wide bottom, combine the water, butter, sugar, salt orange zest and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer over a medium heat, whisking to combine. Using a rubber spatula, work the sifted flour into the water/butter mixture. Stir the mixture until a paste forms, then, lowering the heat, work the dough back and forth in the pan for a minute or two and cook the mixture, allowing some of the moisture to escape (which will help when it comes time to fry!). Take the warm mixture and put into the bowl of a small stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, and beat the mixture for a few minutes, giving the dough a chance to cool. Add the eggs one at a time, and place into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Chill for at least four hours and no more than two days.

In a pot or in a table top fryer, take a large volume of oil and heat it to 350° F. Take your chilled churro batter and with your dominant hand, begin to pipe the batter into the hot oil. With your other hand, using a pair of scissors, separate the churros at your desired length. For dipping I like them about two inches. After about 5-7 minutes, the dough should be puffed and crispy. Pull them out of the oil and immediately toss into cinnamon and sugar so that they are fully coated.

Salted Caramel Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 oz. butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Sugar & Kush Vanilla Tincture 1 ML (33.33mg CBD)

Directions:

In a small sauce pot, place the sugar in the bottom of the pan and cook over medium low heat, slowly caramelizing the sugar until it is golden and full of lumps. If you like it darker then feel free to live dangerously. When the sugar reaches your desired color, add the butter, waiting for it to fully melt before stirring in the cream. Pour the caramel through a strainer into heat proof bowl. Let cool to between 90-100° F then whisk in Sugar & Kush Vanilla tincture 1 ML and enjoy!!

Terravibe, LLC CBD review

TerraVibe, LLC is committed to maintaining a healthy environment by abiding to eco-friendly manufacturing process. Since the food and drug industry has been polluted by various companies, TerraVibe, LLC decided to join multiple CBD companies championing organic products to offer a natural long-term solution. Unlike most companies that we have been reviewing, TerraVibe, LLC has upheld the highest transparency levels by updating information about who they are, its mission, team members, and vigorous lab tests they carry on their products. Its stress on quality starts at the seed level of their hemp plant, its growth, and harvesting. After harvesting, the hemp is tested for purity before manufacturing takes place. This has ensured all its products have accurate CBD variance reports, and if any variance exists, it’s below the optimum 10% limit. To learn more about the company, keep reading our review as we have unveiled significant information about the company, its manufacturing process, range of products, and prices.

About the Company

The company was established in 2020 to offer unique quality products that exceed its customers’ expectations. Although the company does not specify where they obtain their hemp plant, they claim all its operations, from the seed levels to packing, is done within the US borders. Unlike most CBD companies that offer information about themselves and their farming practices to ensure their hemp is of high quality, they have little information about the two. However, they have offered general information about CBD and why people should go for their products. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find the “About Us” page on the website.

TerraVibe, LLC is committed to ensuring its customers are contented with the products and the systems. Since our focus is assessing various CBD companies’ buyers’ experience, we ordered a few products from the brand. Navigating the website is quite easy as it is straightforward. To access its products catalog and start shopping, click on “shop, ” the second option from the main menu. Its catalog is easily accessible, and all the products have been categorized differently depending on the formulation, tinctures, topicals, and others. Although product description can’t be accessed on the product catalog, selecting each product will help you find more information about it. Unlike most companies that have given detailed information on each product, they have only provided the category, potency levels, formulation, purpose, and price; there is no information about the dosage, administering it, and the ingredients used.

Start shopping by clicking “Add to cart” for each product you find effective to your health and wellness. As you continue adding products to your shopping cart, the number of products is indicated at the top right in blue. After shopping, ensure you check your shopping cart to confirm the number of products added. If you have an otherwise opinion on either of the products on your cart, click on “check out,” and it will be taken immediately off your shopping list; we never encountered any suspicious activities that would raise a red flag.

Upon making payments, you will immediately receive an email confirming your order was successfully placed and that you should expect your products in 7 days at most. In addition, they also provide a tracking number to help you follow up on your product if need be. As stated by the company, we got our products on the fourth day, discreetly packed that no one would suspect that they are CBD products. Notably, all the products were in good condition. However, any other customer who might receive damaged products is requested to file a replacement complaint to the company’s support team within 72 hours; it doesn’t allow replacement after this duration. Customers who might find the products ineffective should file a complaint within 30 days for a full refund. Notably, the company only accepts unopened products in their original packaging. If your products have been damaged during shipping, a return complaint should be made within 48 hours via the support team.

Since the company is concerned about its reputation and the products’ performance in the market, they have a product review page. Customers can leave honest feedback depending on individual experience with the products. The company collects reviews to help them assess their performance and carry out in-house adjustments. The positive reviews exceed the negative by far. In addition, they also have social media platforms that help them bring their customers together and carry out open discussions about various matters concerning CBD, TerraVibe, LLC, and how to improve the two.

Manufacturing Process

TerraVibe, LLC is a legal manufacturer of hemp-based products and growers of hemp by the Federal and national governments of the USA. According to the company, it only uses organic hemp to craft various products. However, to maximize quality and rapid effectiveness, they have considered blending in other naturally occurring elements such as MCT oil, a maximum carrier of bioavailability. This feature enhances absorption or digestion. Most importantly, its manufacturing facility and processes adhere to FDA regulation; they have no warning from either BBB or FDA.

To maximize quality, they use the CO2 extraction method, which is regarded as a golden standard due to its effectiveness. Although the company primarily uses CO2, some products have been formulated using a cryogenic solvent-based method. The company cares not only about its products but also the environment. They minimize the number of chemicals used in manufacturing to reduce the risk of contaminating the products and the environment.

After crafting each batch, it is again tested for purity and potency confirmation. To come up with accurate lab results, it uses the hemp of an independent third-party lab and not public labs. Some of the tests conducted include the amount of THC to ensure it doesn’t exceed 0.3%, which is the limit set by the FDA. In addition, since the issue of CBD variance has been a primary concern to most CBD customers, the lab ensures the levels don’t exceed the 10% limit. Lastly, it conducts tests on the contaminants to ensure the products are safe for consumption; all the products are free from heavy metals, pesticides, and chemical particles, which are harmful to human health.

Range of Products

Being a recently established brand, only four products are available; tinctures, gummies, topicals, and pet products.

TerraVibe, CBD Tinctures

The company uses organic CO2 hemp plant extracts alongside MCT oil to develop two formulations of its tinctures; broad-spectrum and full spectrum. The company recommends a dosage of 1ml every day, which is be administered orally or sublingually only. However, you can add the 1ml drop to your favorite meals or beverage to avoid the natural test of the hemp plant. Customers who would want to take it directly without adding any food or beverage offer various flavors and potency levels ranging from 500mg to 5000mg at $45.95 to $159.99 depending on the potency range that suits you. Lastly, the company recommends beginners start with a lower potency as they upgrade.

TerraVibe CBD Topicals

If you need to calm your body from a long day or after a workout, Terra Vibe offers one of the best products that will relax your muscles and relieve your body. Its topical products are offered from organic CO2 hemp plant extracts in either broad-spectrum or full spectrum. Before they are released to the market, they undergo third-party tests to ensure they have corresponding potency levels and are void of any harmful contaminants. In addition, the company recommends them for topical use only and offers beauty products to maintain your skin smoothness. They are also available in different potency levels from $59.99 to $89.95, ranging from 500mg to 2000mg.

Terra Vibe CBD Gummies

Gummies are common within the CBD market since they are discreet and easy to maneuver with. The company avails them in a pack of 30 gummies containing 25mg of CO2 hemp plant extracts. The gummies are among the latest products manufactured by the company and are only offered in natural flavor. Lastly, the pack of 30 gummies goes at $55.95.

Terra Vibe CBD Pet Tinctures

Pet tinctures are manufactured just like human tinctures and are tested for purity and potency levels before being released to the market. In addition, they are crafted from CO2 hemp plant extracts alongside MCT oil for easy digestion in the pet’s body. Similar to gummies, they are among the company’s recent products to be launched. They are specifically for pets and come with a dropper to help pet owners give the correct dosage of 1ml per day; more could be added depending on the age and weight of the dog. They are sold at $45, recommended for oral or sublingual use.

What We Like About the Company

Their product’s potency range is below 10%, which is good and safe for CBD consumers who prefer buying its products. Potency variance has cost a lot of companies a significant number of customers to go for other alternatives that offer correct information. As a result, the company has used it to its advantage and accommodated customers looking for accuracy. Besides, its prices are lower than the average prices because their quality is not questionable. Lastly, they have a solid variety of options, from potency to flavors.

What We Don’t Like About the Company

The company doesn’t offer much information regarding its operations and team members; unfortunately, they don’t have an “About Us” page. In addition, they only offer free shipping on purchases exceeding $59 and don’t offer international shipping even at a cost.

Overall Verdict

Although the company has shown a few weaknesses, it offers the best products within the CBD market. It ensures the quality and safety of its clients and products are given priority over anything else. As a result, all the products are tested to ensure they contain the right amount of CBD THC and are void of any contaminant that might negatively impact consumers or pets. However, due to the increased levels of competition, they need to address the weaknesses we have outlined among others and find more reasons to attract more customers.

Sabaidee CBD review

Sabaidee was established in Los Angeles to offer exclusive CBD quality products from organic hemp plant extracts. The company uses the CO2 extraction method to help it obtain relevant elements of the hemp plant only. In addition, Sabaidee clarifies liquid chromatography to maximize extraction. Its products are offered in full-spectrum and contain clear COAs report on its website. The company has one of the latest websites with current features and a readily available customer support team. Although its prices are somehow high, some are moderated depending on the competitor’s offers. Good Vibes tinctures are one of their products offered at low rates. All its products are manufactured in broad-spectrum for rapid effectiveness. Also, the company offers pet products, unlike most brands. Each batch is tested independently for quality and safety affirmation.

About the Company

Sabaidee was established in 2017 in Los Angeles by Alon Shabo to offer quality, pure, and transparent products that would give it a higher ranking in the market. Since then, it has upheld quality and transparency, giving it an advantage since most CBD customers go for transparent brands. As various companies lose customers due to poor transparency, Sabaidee scores 8.3/10 on transparency, reputation, and accuracy. The company has a robust website with the latest features, including links for blogs, FAQs, and contact details. In addition, the website is organized and contains significant information such as the history of the brand and product description. Locating third-party lab results and product catalog is quite straightforward.

Although Sabaidee has a higher transparency rating of 8.7, it has been rated poorly in CBD potency accuracy (6/10). However, the company is committed to ensuring its customers understand its products better. Each product has a description that guides users and helps them understand the components of the products. The information offered includes the product’s function, components, administration procedure, and lab results.

We checked whether Sabaidee had received any warning or negative comments from BBB and FDA. Luckily, the company has been able to maintain a good reputation. It offers the best buying experience since we did not encounter suspicious activities while adding and removing products from our product cart. The product description is essential because it helps customers visiting its website for the first time understand what its products entail and the elements. The company accepts payments from either the bank or credit card. After making the payments for our products, we received an email confirming our order. The company upheld its promise by ensuring we received our products on the third day upon ordering. In the email, it had stated that our products were to be delivered within five business days, and it had provided a tracking number.

The products were discreetly packed, each with a QR code to help customers affirm their lab reports. According to the results we received, none tested positive for contaminant tests. All the products were void of heavy metals, solvents, and detectable pesticides. Also, all the products had their THC levels below the 0.3% limit as required by FDA. However, its oral tinctures exceeded the stated variance by far. According to the lab results provided on the website and the label, the company had a potency of 250mg, yet we obtained 320.4mg. Its cream also had a low potency difference since it indicated 898.9mg instead of 1000mg of CBD.

Apart from Sabaidee offering a comprehensive FAQ page with straightforward responses, it also offers various contact details to reach its support team easily. The contact page has a phone number (844 590 0088), message box, and email address ([email protected]). Unfortunately, the brand’s features do not entail a live chatbox. Its support team is only available from 10 am to 5 pm PST.

Since Sabaidee is concerned about keeping its customers informed, it has a blog page with various information regarding CBD and the relevance of using hemp-based products. Besides, it has a unique review page to track its market performance and the effectiveness of its products. Sabaidee has 1,644 positive reviews on its website, indicating that its products benefit most customers. It also has social media platforms that allow its customers to interact and share opinions concerning its products. Furthermore, the platforms could be used for contacting its support team.

Manufacturing Process

Sabaidee maintains transparency from farming to packaging to help build trust with its customers. Information regarding its farming practices is readily available on the website. It grows its hemp in Colorado Springs, the best producer of quality hemp in the USA. The company is a legalized grower of organic hemp certified by USDA and the FDA as an organic hemp-based products manufacturer. Although it relies on the hemp plant, Sabaidee also blends other natural elements in its products. However, the various elements have been incorporated in the products depending on their function. MCT oil cuts across all the products since it contains bioavailability as its main feature. As a result, it speeds up the digestion and absorption of its products.

Since Sabaidee is only interested in beneficial elements of the hemp plant, it utilizes the CO2 extraction method alongside other relevant organic elements to obtain useful hemp plant extracts. Most CBD brands prefer CO2 because it is considered clean, minimizing the contamination of the environment and products. The CO2 extraction method contains a low thermodynamic threshold to reach a supercritical state. Also, the company uses chromatography to isolate THC from other hemp oil components. After mixing hemp plant extracts with other elements, it manufactures its products in the broad spectrum.

After each batch has been crafted, it is taken for testing at an independent lab for quality and purity affirmation. Sabaidee uses ProVerde Laboratories, widely known for its accuracy and accreditation by ISO 17025, indicating that its results are of golden standards and have the latest facilities. The lab confirms the potency variance and THC variance. According to FDA, all CBD products should have THC levels below 0.3%, and suppose there is any CBD variance; it should be below 10%. Also, the lab has to confirm the product’s safety by ensuring they are void of contaminants. After obtaining the results, they are posted on “Lab Results for consumer verification.” In addition, the company provides QR codes on each batch for pre-purchase verification.

Range of products

Sabaidee uses organic hemp plant extracts to manufacture its tinctures in the broad and full-spectrum formulation. Its products include tinctures, pet products, and CBD cream. The tinctures are manufactured in various flavors.

SabaiDee CBD Oral Tinctures

The company offers quality CBD tinctures in various potency levels and formulated using the CO2 extraction method of organic hemp plant extracts. Sabaidee offers tinctures in the potency of 7500mg, 2500mg, 1000mg, and 250mg, all in a bottle of 30ml, sold from $48.95 to $329.5 and administered orally. However, a similar dosage can be included in favorite meals or drinks. Each serving is accompanied by accurately marked droppers to help customers take the correct dosage. The tinctures are safe for usage since they test negative for contaminants.

SabaiDee CBD Topicals

The company only offers two types of topical products; Comfort Cream and Relief Rub. Comfort Cream is offered in the potency of 500mg at $49, while Relief Rub is available in 250mg at $49. They are manufactured using organic hemp plant extracts alongside MCT oil for easy skin absorption. The topical products are designed to relieve pain, although FDA has not ascertained this claim.

SabaiDee CBD Pet Products

Pet formulations are among the latest CBD products taking the better part of the CBD market. They are formulated using organic hemp plant extracts alongside MCT oil. Currently, Sabaidee manufactures pet tinctures and Soft Chews for Dogs. Pet tinctures are offered in a 30ml bottle with a potency of 250mg of CBD at $38.95. On the other hand, Dog Treat Chews come in a pack of 25 chews, each having 50mg of CBD, with each pack going for $38.95.

What We Like About the Company

Sabaidee offers free shipping on all orders regardless of quantity or purchase price. In addition, the company offers considerable discounts on bulk orders and a 15% discount to first-time buyers. The company also has an accommodating and knowledgeable support team that is readily available. It responds to customers’ emails in a few hours and is precise. Besides, COA results are availed to help its customers affirm the lab tests.

What We Don’t Like About the Company

Although Sabaidee products include pet products, it should offer more human products such as vape. Also, its tinctures only exist in unflavored and cool mint flavors. The company should consider offering more flavors to address the various tastes of its customers. Additionally, some products contain a potency variance of up to 50%, far from the accepted range of 10%.

Overall Verdict

Sabaidee products are among the best, with a considerable potency range, though there are problems with accuracy variance. Its products contain retainable THC levels and are void of contaminants. Unlike most CBD brands that offer free shipping based on purchases, Sabaidee offers free shipping regardless of purchases. However, it should address weaknesses, such as the potency variance, a big problem that has cost them customers. Sabaidee also needs to ensure its products potency variance is within 10% variance.

John’s cbd review 2022

After the 2018 Farm Bill was passed, Texas is fast embracing CBD oil with less than 0.3% THC federally legal. It has several CBD brands, John’s CBD being one. While reviewing the company, we found many likable things about it, including its wide range of products, including CBD and THC tinctures, edibles, topicals, vapes, hemp flowers, and isolates. Besides, it has a line in its inventory that offers CBD tinctures for pets. John’s CBD features all the three CBD formulations, including isolate-based, full- and broad-spectrum CBD, allowing CBD fans with different needs have a favorite pick. It sells the CBD products in its inventory for $14- $100, an affordable range accommodating CBD users with different purchasing powers. The company ships all orders above $50 for free and offers users a bag for the orders. Since its inception in 2016, John’s CBD has upheld the mission to offer the best CBD for the best prices to ensure accessibility to all who need CBD products. The CBD items in John’s CBD inventory feature a 250- 3000 mg CBD concentration range, allowing a wide margin for CBD clients to hop into. The brand’s website is well-designed and provides enough information about when the company was launched, the product it offers, several blogs on CBD, and the Learn section contains an informative FAQ section answering most CBD- and company-specific questions.

About the Brand

John’s CBD is a 2016-launched brand located in Texas, celebrating its sixth year this year. It is an online CBD distributor that shares the mission of providing the best CBD at the best prices for its clients to ensure accessibility for CBD fans who need the products. In 2020 when it turned 4 years in the hemp space, it received the Texas Department for Agriculture License for legally growing industrial hemp. Since then, it has grown its hemp legally and uses it to manufacture isolate-based, full- and broad-spectrum CBD.

John’s CBD specializes in a range of hemp products featuring CBD and THC. They include CBD tinctures, topicals, vapes, edibles, pet tinctures, and hemp flowers, which you can easily buy from its website. Shipping happens to all the US states, and the company offers free shipping and bags for orders worth or above $50. Still, it does not offer a military veteran discount, but a 30-day money-back guarantee applies to all sales.

The CBD items, including tinctures, pet tinctures, edibles, topicals, vape, and whole-hemp flowers, have 250- 3000 mg concentrations. Still, the potency of different items ranges from 8.33- 16.67 mg/ml, well within the novice range. They cost $14- $100, a range catering to different clients with varying purchasing powers. At an average price point of $0.02- $0.05 per mg CBD, the brand sells its CBD items cheaply. It conducts 3rd party tests and posts the results online, helping it build confidence in clients about the credibility of its items.

John’s CBD is reputable in the hemp space and is one of the biggest brands in the USA. Not only is it rising well above others because of the many items in its inventory, but also because it has an A+ rating on the BBB website. We also checked the FDA complaints as part of our review of the brand, and we are happy to say that it has no complaints registered by the FDA against it. It uses organic hemp to manufacture its products, and all its products, except hem flowers, feature CO2 extraction, a clean method that ensure no industrial solvents are unnecessarily attached to the final products.

Specs

The following specs are true about John’s CBD company, at least based on our review of the website and customer experience;

  • The company deals in an extensive product range.
  • You can buy CBD tinctures, pet tinctures, edibles, capsules, and topicals on the company’s website, as well as many THC products.
  • The different products on the company’s website sell for $14- $100, which is not too high, featuring CBD fans with different purchasing powers.
  • The company has an average price point of $0.05 mg per CBD, well below the market average and what other companies of the same caliber offer.
  • Free shipping and a bag are offered for all the orders worth $50 and above.
  • John’s CBD is based in Texas and sources its hemp in the same location.
  • It employs the clean CO2 extraction method to strip CBD oil from the hemp surfaces
  • There is no centralized lab result hub for posting all the 3rd party lab tests
  • CBD products are tested for the cannabinoid profile, THC/CBD content, and their purity against standard contaminants like filth, molds, heavy metals, organic matter, and industrial solvents

Hemp Quality

Hemp quality is the ultimate determinant of the quality of the final products a brand produces, making it a critically important factor. It is no wonder that most brands that have managed to uphold their reputation and transparency in the hemp space go to all heights to use good quality hemp when manufacturing CBD products. John’s CBD is no exception, it uses organic hemp to manufacture CBD products. Based on the positive customer reviews and the detailed Learn section that details many things about the company, we learned that it sources its hemp locally within the USA. When it was launched in 2016, and over the next 4 years, John’s CBD would liaise with local Texan farmers for hemp. However, in 2020, it received licensing from the Texas Department for Agriculture, allowing it to grow industrial hemp legally. It farms organic hemp in Texas in its farm, and the vertical integration it employs ultimately ensures it does not sell its CBD products cheaply. The mature hemp is then subjected to CO2 for extraction, a method deemed fit in the hemp surface for its ability to strip CBD and retain versatile compounds needed to augment CBD properties while not unnecessarily attaching industrial solvents to the final products.

Transparency and Reputation

There are many ways a brand upholds reputation and transparency in the hemp space. John’s CBD presents itself as a transparent brand by revealing sufficient information about it, including its mode of operation, when and why it was founded, its processes, and its products. Besides, the A+ rating on the BBB corporation website, lack of any FDA complaints, and the brand’s positive reviews are all indicators of a good reputation in the CBD market. As though that’s not enough, John’s CBD conducts 3rd party testing to ensure it remains true and transparent to its clients. However, we could not easily trace the 3rd party tests results online on the company’s official website. Lastly, the informative blogs and the Learn section provide critical information about the company, further contributing to its transparency.

Accuracy

Other than conducting 3rd party tests, brands need to uphold accuracy to carry their names and maintain them in the CBD arena. Accuracy looks at the cannabinoid profiles of the CBD products, particularly the THC and CBD contents indicated on the product labels, against the actual contents. John’s CBD performs averagely in accuracy, with half of the products we ordered passing CBD tests and the other half failing. For instance, the 500 mg cream topically applied for pain had 488.6 mg CBD, revealing a 2.28% variance, well below the 10% acceptable variance limit. The other item whose cannabinoid profile we checked against the labels is the 750 mg CBD softgel which happened to contain 919.77 mg CBD or 30.65 mg per softgel instead of the 25 mg per container. This resulted in a 22.23% variance, surpassing the 10% acceptable limit by far. As such, John’s CBD has a long way to go in straightening the accuracy kinks to see new heights in the hemp arena.

The Manufacturing Process

The manufacturing process is an important in the entire hemp cycle. Like the hemp quality, the manufacturing process informs how the final products will be and how their quality will reflect on the brand. The manufacturing process starts with hemp seed propagation and ends with CBD packaging when the products are ready for sales. Everything from hemp growing & harvesting, and CBD extraction, to 3rd party tests, are all featured in the manufacturing process.

John’s CBD is a legal hemp grower of American hemp. From 2016 to 2020, it would source its hemp from Texan farms, but in 2020, it got licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture to produce high-CBD hemp. As such, it sources its hemp from its Texan farms and uses them to manufacture CBD and THC products. It uses organic hemp certified by the Texan Department of Agriculture and upholds the highest standards in hemp growing.

Once the hemp plants mature, John’s CBD liaises with farmers who harvest the high-CBD hemp flowers, parts, stems, and leaves for manufacturing CBD and THC products. The harvested parts are cured and processed, and the supercritical CO2 extraction method is employed to ensure the finest CBD and THC products are produced. The final products following CO2 extraction are isolates and full- and broad-spectrum CBD, which take care of all CBD fans. They are then molded into the different CBD delivery methods the brand offers, including CBD tinctures, pet CBD tinctures, topicals, edibles, vapes, and hemp flowers.

The next stage in the manufacturing process involves subjecting the extracts to 3rd party testing. It is a quality procedure that ensures the CBD items in a brand’s inventory are true to the CBD & THC amounts indicated on the labels and that they are pure against standard contaminants, including molds, filth, heavy metals, organic matter, and industrial solvents. John’s CBD works hand in hand with independent brands to test the cannabinoid profiles and their purity against standard contaminants. Most brands post the lab tests online, preferably on a centralized hub where web visitors can easily view them. The 3rd party lab tests for John’s CBD products were mixed, with some revealing a pass while others indicating that the products had too much CBD than indicated on the labels. After the 3rd party lab tests are consolidated and uploaded online, the products are good for sales.

Product Reviews

One of the many things that make John’s CBD outstanding among other CBD brands is how it features many CBD items. It boasts a wide CBD product range and features mainstream and the less sold-out CBD items. You can find the following on the company’s website and order them online;

John’s CBD Tinctures

John’s CBD has some of the highest-quality CBD tinctures you would like to consider. Its CBD tinctures come in 500- 3000 mg CBD formulations boasts a potency range of 16.67- 100 mg/ml. The tinctures sell for $30- $90 and have an average price point of $0.03- $0.06, which is well within the market average. According to the John’s CBD website and product page, the CBD tinctures are taken sublingually for maximum bioavailability. Alternatively, you can add the tinctures to water, food, and drinks and still benefit from them.

John’s CBD Pet Tinctures

Do you have a furry whom you would like to buy CBD items? John’s CBD offers CBD tinctures for pets, and you might want to buy these for your dog. They sell for $20- $60 and pose an average price point of $0.05- $0.08 per mg CBD. The tinctures are administered to the pets orally and sublingually, but you can also add them to foods and drinks. The tinctures feature three strengths; 250, 500, and 1000 mg CBD. They have a potency of 8.33- 16.67 mg/ml, which is just great for the pets.

John’s CBD Beverages and Drinks

If you do not like CBD tinctures, you might as well go for CBD drinks and beverages. These are naturally flavored, so you like them. The CBD drinks and beverages include CBD decaf tea and caffeinated drinks in three and two options, respectively. Their dosages vary, and the instructions are found on individual product pages where you can easily access them.

John’s CBD Edibles

CBD tinctures are a great way of taking the cannabinoid, but many do not like it because of its bitter taste. A good alternative to CBD oils and tinctures are CBD edibles like the John’s CBD gummies you can find in the company’s inventory. These feature naturally flavored gummies without any synthetic materials. The gummies are 25 mg potent and come in 30-count jars, constituting 750 mg in the jar. Like other products in the company’s inventory, the CBD gummies are made from CO2-extracted CBD and are strictly oral. They cost $60 and have an average price point of $0.08 mg per CBD.

John’s CBD Topicals

John’s CBD also offers topical CBD items that you might want to tap on. These are strictly for external use and feature $0.06- $0.07 per mg CBD. They sell for $36- $64 and come in two potencies; 500 and 1000 mg, translating to a wide potency range of 8.33- 16.67 mg/ml. John’s CBD topicals come in full- and broad-spectrum formulations, allowing its clients to enjoy THC-free and THC-filled CBD. The CBD topicals are made from Co2-extracted CBD like other items in the company’s inventory.

John’s CBD Capsules

If you hate on CBD oils and tinctures, you might want to try CBD capsules. These are great for masking the bitter and earthy aftertaste of CBD oil and only need water for you to swallow them. John’s CBD capsules come in two potencies; 25 and 50 mg per cap, translating to 750 and 1500 mg CBD concentrations in the 30-count jars. The CBD capsules cost $48- $64 and have an average price point of $0.04- $0.06 per mg CBD. The CBD capsules feature broad- and full-spectrum formulations to enjoy THC-free and THC-filled CBD capsules.

John’s CBD Isolates

Many CBD users like CBD isolates with no other cannabis compounds but CBD. John’s offers CBD isolates in powdered forms you can opt for to enjoy CBD without terpenes and flavonoids. They come in 1000 mg packages with 1000 mg/ml potencies. At $30 for the 1000 mg CBD isolates, an average price point of $0.03 per mg.

John’s CBD Flower

John’s CBD offers CBD flowers in full-spectrum formulations allowing the user to enjoy the CBD with THC. They come in 3.5 and 7 mg packages. Unlike other CBD products in the company’s inventory feature CO2 extraction but not the hemp flowers. They do not feature any extraction process since they are packaged as they come.

What We Like About the Company

While reviewing John’s CBD, we especially liked the following about it;

  • It conducts 3rd party tests to ensure its products are pure against standard contaminants and have as much CBD and THC as indicated on the labels.
  • The free shipping arrangement for all orders worthy and above $50 ensures customers can save on sales
  • Incentives like bags when CBD fans meet a certain threshold attract more clients
  • The 30-day money-back guarantee is a plus, helping CBD fans who are dissatisfied with a product to return it and seek a refund
  • The CBD items come in isolate-based, full- and broad-spectrum CBD formulations, providing clients with a plethora to choose from
  • The 250- 3000 mg CBD concentration range helps CBD novices and vets to find something that meets their needs
  • The CBD items have an average price point of $0.05 per mg CBD, well below the market average, indicating that the company sells its CBD items cheaply
  • John’s CBD items cost $14- $100, a good range allowing CBD clients with low purchasing powers to have something for themselves
  • There are several ways to reach the customer care desk, including a phone number, email address, and a postal address

What We Don’t Like About the Company

Despite the many pros, the brand has a few kinks to straighten to perform better in the hemp space and widen its loyal customer care desk. For instance;

  • The brand offers free shipping, but it does not have a military discount plan
  • Some items we ordered did not pass CBD tests, with some having more CBD than indicated and posing as high variances as 22%
  • There is no live chat feature through which CBD fans can chat with the customer care desk and get instant responses
  • Although John’s CBD conducts diligent 3rd party tests, it does not post the results online, and you can only access them by reaching out to the customer care desk

Overall Verdict

Generally, our review for John’s CBD was positive, although there are a few areas that need improvement for the brand to do even better. We were impressed by the large range of CBD items and potency, the three CBD formulations, the low average price point of $0.05 per mg CBD, the 30-day money-back guarantee that allows dissatisfied clients to get refunds after returning the products, the free shipping arrangement and the free bag for all orders worth and above $50, and the several avenues to reaching out to the customer care department. Still, the company has a few kinks to do even better. For instance, while it claims to conduct rigorous 3rd party tests in liaison with reputable labs, it does not post the results online, and one has to reach out to its customer care department to view the results. Besides, it offers free shipping that can benefit most CBD fans with low purchasing powers, but the $50 minimum threshold might not be a figure every CBD user can raise. The website is simply designed, but the entire avalanche of CBD and THC products on it might be overwhelming to many. Moreover, the 250- 3000 mg CBD concentration range is fair but not large enough to offer many CBD options for vets who need more potent CBD items. The 3rd party tests for the CBD products we ordered we mixed, and while some items passed the CBD tests, others flopped, posing higher variance limits than the acceptable limits. The brand also claims that its products are free of standard contaminants, but the results are not readily available to prove the claims true. Lastly, while there are many ways to reach the customer care department, it took long before the customer care reps could respond to our emails, which was quite disheartening.
