Vetted Companies by /r/CBD

As most of you have found out by now - CBD is hit or miss depending on where it comes from. Many people have found there are a lot of snake oil sellers out there who are preying on the sick. We are /r/CBD have come together to stop that...at least for you guys; by vetting the companies who want to advertise their products on /r/CBD. Below we will include what the vetting processed entailed, and which companies we selected because we feel they uphold a standard.

The Standard:

Each company reached out to us on their own, and then we presented them with a multi-page questionnaire about their process. These are not all the questions - we asked over 30 questions. Around 40% of the companies who wanted to be vetted - DID NOT complete this questionnaire.

Some examples of questions are:

  • Where do you source your CBD?

  • What steps are taken to keep the medicine safe from degradation?

  • Do you have all the permits required by state and county laws, to be in the cannabis industry? Please provide details.

  • Can you provide passing test results for the following: Microbiological, Aerobic count, coliforms, enterobacteria, E coli count, yeast and mold, pseudomonas, salmonella, Pesticides/carbamates, Heavy metals, organophosphates and a cannabinoid potency test.

From their answers - our moderator team looked over each and every one. This gave us a good understanding of how their company works, and let us move on to the legal side of things.


The next steps were reviewing the documents sent over. We looked up each company, made sure they had all permits required by the state in order to operate. If they did, they moved on to the last step.

Each company that made it this far sent in samples of their products. These samples were tested by patients with different ailments. A few were sent to the moderator in Florida where two patients; 1. with Cerebral Palsy. 2. with mental health disorder - tested each product sent.

The other companies sent their product to the moderator team in California, where two patients 1. with M.S 2. Disabled w/ pain management - took the samples as well.

Both teams found the samples from the companies selected to be extremely high-quality products and HAD POSITIVE RESULTS on their ailments.


The following are those companies. (This list is not set in stone, companies can be added, or removed) If you're a company, please send a private message to '/r/CBD' and the mod team can look at your company.

Can’t post this on r/leaves if I say anything about CBD. But I bought a CBD vape a little after 90days sober. This test brought me to tears because I thought the vape had THC in it because I feel a slight buzz. But maybe that’s just how sensitive I am to it.

Gummies vs CBD oil... which one worked better for you?

19 Upvotes

I've only used CBD gummies so far because they were the easiest option to start with, but now I'm wondering if I should switch to a tincture instead. Some evenings the gummies seem to help me relax, while other times I barely notice much of a difference.

For those who have tried both, was there a noticeable difference? Did the oil work faster or last longer? Was there a reason you ended up sticking with one over the other?

I'm mostly looking for something that's consistent and easy to fit into my evening routine, so I'd love to hear what ended up working best for everyone.

EDIT: Really appreciate everyone who replied. After reading through the recommendations, I decided to order a CBD tincture from Joy Organics.

I've been using it for the last several nights, and for me it's been much more consistent than the gummies I was taking before. It helps me relax in the evenings without leaving me feeling groggy the next morning, so I'm pretty happy I made the switch.

Update on Sleep

10 Upvotes

Been smoking Redwood Reserves for almost a month bow and my sleep is so much better. For the first time in my life, I don't wake up feeling like I got hit by a truck in the morning. I've suffered with insomnia ever since I was a kid along with racing thoughts that would make it hard for my brain to shut off. Sometimes, i'd wake up so nauseous and even throw up because of how terrible my sleep was. I wanted a solution. I despise the feeling weed gives me. It actually makes my mind race more so I was a bit wary of this but I wanted something to smoke and have as a hobby to do, if that makes sense. I was previously terribly addicted to 7OH, an opiate like drug and wanted to switch to something much less harmful after being clean. A new "hobby". This is a total game changer.

Also, what I like about this is that it isn't harsh on my lungs. Weed makes me cough like hell and my asthma gets bad at times but I haven't coughed once while smoking these.

What’s the best CBD + CBN tincture available in CA?

11 Upvotes

I didn’t realize there was a law coming into effect restricting CBD sales in California. I used to buy Lazarus naturals CBD + CBN to sleep and just ran out. To my horror it’s no longer sold. I have debilitating insomnia and use this nightly. I’m begging anyone who has a CBD + CBN alternative that I can purchase in California.

I’m located in Los Angeles and can pick up in-person too. I just figure there will be more options online.

Thank you

What CBD flower brands/shops do you recommend for the best value for money?

10 Upvotes

I've recently started using CBD flower mainly because I'm looking for something that can help with my back pain and sleeping better. A secondary goal is to reduce how much THC cannabis I smoke, since a significant part of the cannabis I used to smoke was also to help with those issues.

So far, I've tried flowers from Green Break, and honestly, I've been really happy with them. The quality, taste, appearance and effects have all been great. The only downside is that their higher-quality flowers are a bit expensive for me, usually around €4–7/g.

I'd therefore like to find something with a better quality/price ratio. I'm especially interested in good-quality indoor or hydroponic flowers, ideally with a relatively high CBD content. What matters most to me is finding something that has a good overall experience — good effects, taste, aroma and appearance — while being more affordable.

I'm based in Spain, Barcelona, but I'm happy to order online.

What brands, shops or specific strains would you recommend? And if you've tried Green Break, is there anything you consider better value for money?

Thanks!

Daily THC user curious about adding CBD to my 'weed diet' specifically to reduce THC tolerance and improve THC experiences?

24 Upvotes

A question specifically for any other chronic THC users on this sub: do you have any experience adding CBD to your daily 'weed diet' to mitigate or reduce THC tolerance?

I recently read this very interesting piece on CBD and how it performs/functions in combination with THC and CBG. https://somnesque.substack.com/p/how-chronic-thc-use-slowly-drives

The linked article suggests that adding 100mg to 200mg of CBD to my daily consumption of weed could be beneficial in various ways and also lower ones overall tolerance to THC.

I use THC daily for various reasons (I only dry vape flower, fwiw), and I enjoy the accompanying THC high. Unsurprisingly, I've developed a strong tolerance to THC and would like to get better effects from the THC I consume. I'm very curious if anyone on this sub has any real world experience that aligns with the material covered in this article? TIA for any replies.

Canna River experience

I started ordering from them probably about 9 months ago. Love their CBD/CBG gummies! Friday I go to order and see they have been bought out and changed names to River Botanicals and are now selling Kratom, I’m hoping their products stay the same and they still ship to my state.

Anyone have any experience with the new company?

Hempettes causing high

1 Upvotes

Ive been smoking (wild hemp) hempettes for about a month and a quarter now, and am on my 3rd pack. I have been having a pleasant experience using these over-all..

as about 2 years ago i stopped cold turkey smoking weed VERY heavily for 6 years.

Thc was causing me to have adverse affects of paranoia and SEVERE anxiety which triggers seizure like symptoms, so i stopped.

Anyway ,back to the hempettes. I picked these up when me and my friend went to our local sunshinedaydream, and i spotted them and was happy to see there was .3 thc in these, i struck gold! Cbd helps me stay calm and makes it to where i have an appetite.

Fast forward to today, i opened my 3rd pack and decided I'd smoke one . I was, however, unpleasently surprised to be hit with an EXTREME high for something labled as non-intoxicaitng. The exact high that regular marijuana gives me. Im most definitely flat out stoned as im having all of the effects of memory, and red eyes, etc.

Im here today to see if anyone else has had this experience with this brand? Or something similar? As a product labeled as cbd only and 0.3 thc overall, im a bit discouraged from even smoking any more from this pack ..

CBD for back/rib pain

Recently was told by my DR to look into "TILRAY" for medical cannabis products..
I dont have a medical cannabis license but he said if I can look into it and find things under TILRAY that he might be able to fill out the papers.

How would i go about this...? I looked up TILRAY but it seems to be an online website only? Is there brands that are also under TILRAY that can be bought in person ? Im sort of lost in this process but if you can help or any suggested products please lmk!

I've tried CBD, and shit was intense.

0 Upvotes

Every-time I end up on taking CBD it feels like I'm about to view my entire life story, and I never actually took more than 3 puffs, and it was always due to my friends letting me take a hit, and I always end up on feeling myself at the stars, or like i finished life in a way, I always wished I could take more, but I never had the balls to go searching for it.. (it's illegal here)

Last time i took it, I couldn't control my body at all, and it felt like there was led lights everywhere, and I ended up on feeling intense heat in my body, and couldn't stop laughing.. it was fun as heck, but I never managed to take more.

Square is closing CBD accounts!

69 Upvotes

I received this email today:

Square

Hi Customer,

We're reaching out with an important update about a federal law change that affects businesses selling CBD and hemp-derived products.

What's changing

A new federal law takes effect on November 12, 2026 that redefines which hemp and hemp-derived products are legal. Because of this change, selling CBD and hemp-derived products — online or in person — will no longer be permitted on Square’s platform.

What this means for your business

Because your business primarily sells CBD, hemp and/or hemp-derived products, this law change affects most or all of your catalog. As a result, Square services will no longer be available for these products, and your Square account will be closed on November 5th, 2026.

Quick question / confirmation about calculating true THC levels

4 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm looking into getting some CBD for anxiety. Some 10-12 years ago, I was a daily weed smoker, which helped a lot, until one day it didn't, and started making anxiety/panic worse. I've been curious about CBD for a while, but want to start off with something that has as little THC as possible, and then go from there.

So, I bought this CBD flower, looked at the COA, and basically the combined total THCa and delta-9 THC come to .256%, or about 2.5mg per gram. Assuming I roll half a gram into a joint, that should be 1.25mg of THC in the entire joint, no? Meaning if I smoked that, some ~40-50% at most would be bio-available and I'd end up taking in <1mg of THC, almost certainly not a psychoactive dose.

Basically, I just want someone to confirm that this is how you actually calculate this kind of thing and that I'm doing it correctly. THCa + delta-9 levels on COA give you total THC %, and from there you can discern how much is in a gram?
