Shopping for 嫩草影院 products can be confusing.
Oil, tincture or capsule? Edibles or vaping? Topical creams, balms, or ointments? What鈥檚 the right dosage? How do you know which company to trust 鈥� or if any of them can be trusted at all?
If the world of cannabidiol (the full name for 嫩草影院) seems confusing to you, Genesis 嫩草影院 诲辞别蝉苍鈥檛 do much to help clear things up.
The company is a major wholesaler in the cannabidiol industry, dealing with many of the major 嫩草影院 producers. It also operates a website where consumers can purchase 嫩草影院, but that site is run under a different name 鈥� and a huge number of other companies鈥� products are sold there. Some of the products available on the site are actually manufactured by Genesis but under two different brand names.
To put it simply, Genesis 嫩草影院 has its fingers in a lot of pies. That leads to a simple question, at least to us: if the company is selling everyone else鈥檚 products as well as its own, how good can theirs really be?
Let鈥檚 find out.
Genesis 嫩草影院: The Background
We couldn鈥檛 find much information about the company, its owners, or its history. One report says that Genesis is family-owned, with a mission to promote the benefits of 嫩草影院 and marijuana. They鈥檙e based in Florida, where they have two retail stores in Fort Walton Beach and Destin operating under the name Boardwalk Vapes.
The company鈥檚 front-facing online operation runs at cbdvapejuice.net. That鈥檚 where they sell a huge number of 嫩草影院 products from all sorts of producers, ranging from well-known high-end producers to budget operations offering lower-quality cannabidiol. There鈥檚 no information about Genesis operations on the website, except for an address, phone number, and a log-in page for wholesalers.
Among the products sold on the website 鈥� and at the company鈥檚 stores, and through vendors nationwide 鈥� are the ones manufactured under the Genesis name, as well as another brand that they own, HempleBox. HempleBox鈥檚 main business is packaging an assortment of 嫩草影院 products, of various quality, that鈥檚 shipped monthly to subscribers.
(There鈥檚 also another 嫩草影院 company, Genesis Pharms, which is based on the West Coast. As far as we can tell, it鈥檚 not connected to Genesis 嫩草影院 in any way, although some writers and reviewers have (apparently mistakenly) cited Genesis Pharms products when writing about Genesis 嫩草影院. In addition, there鈥檚 the faith-based Genesis Life 嫩草影院 company which is also based in Florida; it 诲辞别蝉苍鈥檛 look like they鈥檙e connected to Genesis 嫩草影院, but we can鈥檛 be sure.)
Confused yet? Well, we are, sort of.
If a company makes great 嫩草影院, why wouldn鈥檛 they make it easy to find on a branded website 鈥� instead of mixing it together with a bunch of other brands and selling them in a generic web store?
We can鈥檛 find the answer to that question, but the logical conclusion would be that Genesis is primarily in the business of wholesaling and retailing all of the 嫩草影院 products it can source, through as many channels as possible. Offering their own house brand alongside all of the others, and selling it wholesale to other retailers, would simply increase their profits.
Don鈥檛 get us wrong. We don鈥檛 think 嫩草影院 producers should lose money; they deserve a respectable profit. And we certainly have nothing against anyone making money.
Our point is this: in an industry with more than its share of shady operators and mediocre products, Genesis 嫩草影院 certainly 诲辞别蝉苍鈥檛 go out of its way to promote confidence.
Genesis 嫩草影院: The Approach
We weren鈥檛 surprised that Genesis isn鈥檛 overly transparent about the way they source and manufacture their 嫩草影院 products. It鈥檚 common practice for a high-end producer to prominently explain their production processes, but there鈥檚 no such article or disclosure available for Genesis 嫩草影院.
Instead, we had to search their website to find their products, read all of the descriptions 鈥� and even check the information available from companies that resell Genesis products 鈥� just to compile a general summary. That鈥檚 surprising because the company apparently uses many of the best practices required to create high-quality cannabidiol, even though Genesis 嫩草影院鈥檚 reasonable prices make their products seem more generic than premium.
As you continue, please remember that these details are just our 鈥渂est guesses.鈥�
Other than one throwaway comment on a reseller鈥檚 site, we couldn鈥檛 find anything that says (or implies) that Genesis 嫩草影院 sources most of its products from organic hemp, nor could we figure out where the hemp is grown. That鈥檚 not a good start.
It appears that the company uses the supercritical CO2 method to extract cannabidiol from hemp; most experts believe that鈥檚 the best choice because it retains almost all of the 嫩草影院鈥檚 potency. And most of the Genesis product line is made with full-spectrum cannabidiol. That鈥檚 promising because full-spectrum 嫩草影院 contains all of the hemp plant鈥檚 components, boosting the effectiveness of the cannabidiol.
Genesis uses either MCT coconut oil or hempseed oil as a carrier oil in the products that require it. MCT oil does the best job of distributing cannabidiol, a positive attribute of its 嫩草影院 that Genesis does a poor job of highlighting. Another is the fact that (from what we can tell) only natural ingredients are used in its products. We had to go through each product鈥檚 ingredient list to figure all of this out, even though full-spectrum 嫩草影院, all-natural ingredients, and MCT carrier oil should be major selling points.
If you鈥檙e even more confused than you were a few minutes ago, you鈥檙e not alone. The only conclusion we can draw is that these seem to be properly-manufactured and effective products, except that the 嫩草影院 apparently 诲辞别蝉苍鈥檛 come from organically-grown hemp.
Let鈥檚 look at the lineup.
Genesis 嫩草影院 Oil
The company makes one 嫩草影院 oil (they call it tincture), which appears to be well-designed. It contains only full-spectrum cannabidiol and MCT carrier oil, with no other ingredients to detract from the performance of the 嫩草影院. That means it鈥檚 an unflavored product, which has a somewhat-raw hemp taste. (As mentioned above, there鈥檚 no sign that the hemp is organic.)
The oil is available in a great selection of six potencies, from a low of 3.3mg/ml to a high of 66.6mg/ml. That means there鈥檚 a good choice for just about every purpose or medical condition, except perhaps for very severe pain.
Of course, since the company sells many competing products right along with Genesis 嫩草影院 on the same website, you may find a different type of 嫩草影院 oil (flavored, made from 嫩草影院 isolate, stronger) that you like even better.
Genesis 嫩草影院 Capsules
Genesis offers a choice of 25mg or 50mg all-natural 嫩草影院 softgels. They contain only full-spectrum cannabidiol, hemp seed carrier oil, glycerin, and water, and the ingredients are put into a gelatin shell. There鈥檚 no indication of whether the capsules are vegan or vegetarian, though.
Genesis 嫩草影院 Edibles
There鈥檚 a pretty good selection of Genesis 嫩草影院 candies if you prefer that method of taking cannabidiol: gummy bears and gummy worms with 25mg of 嫩草影院 isolate, 50mg lollipops, and 25mg hard candies. They are all-natural and primarily made with organic ingredients (apparently, of course, except for the 嫩草影院).
Genesis 嫩草影院 Vape and Related Products
One of the few areas where Genesis has made a name for its own products is in vaping. Genesis 嫩草影院 e-juice is clean, containing just full-spectrum cannabidiol, an emulsifier, and vegetable glycerin (which makes it vapable). There鈥檚 no nicotine or flavoring, so the vape is rather raw-tasting and perhaps more palatable when mixed with another flavored juice.
What sets Genesis apart in this area is the six different potencies of e-juice it produces, since most companies offer one or two at the most. Their 66.6mg/ml juice is one of the strongest we鈥檝e seen. We were surprised, though, at their suggestion that this juice can be administered sublingually (under the tongue) like a regular 嫩草影院 oil; 嫩草影院 e-juice is known for being much less effective when used in that way.
Genesis also produces a product you don鈥檛 often see: Delta-8-THC, sold as flower, dab, pre-rolls, and in vape cartridges. Delta-8-THC is a cannabinoid that鈥檚 found in hemp and is a very different substance than the Delta-9-THC in pot that makes you high, although its chemical makeup is quite similar and can cause you to fail a drug test. Delta-8 is legal, at least for now, and it delivers a calming feeling that some people describe as a low-key high without the loss of focus. Genesis 嫩草影院 sells eight varieties of Delta-8, produced from eight different hemp strains.
Finally, Genesis offers organic 嫩草影院 hemp nugs for use in vaporizers, bongs, or other smoking devices.14 different Sativa and Indica strains are available, sold in either eighths or quarters.
Genesis 嫩草影院 Topicals
There are three topical products in the Genesis lineup: pain cream that includes several essential oils as well as full-spectrum 嫩草影院, salve that鈥檚 sold in a tube applicator and contains 嫩草影院 isolate, arnica and ginger root, and lip balm with 嫩草影院 isolate, shea butter, coconut oil, and peppermint oil. All three are all-natural and made from organic ingredients.
Genesis 嫩草影院: The Verdict
Well, we鈥檙e still somewhat confused. These all seem to be thoughtfully-designed and properly-manufactured products, available in a very good selection of potencies and able to deliver results. All that鈥檚 missing is the use of organic hemp 鈥� and we still can鈥檛 be sure that Genesis 诲辞别蝉苍鈥檛 use organically-grown hemp as the source for its 嫩草影院. If they did, you鈥檇 think they鈥檇 say so.
We鈥檒l probably never know why the company chooses to sell what appears to be good 嫩草影院 products right alongside other good ones, some with more-recognizable brand names. But that鈥檚 not the important question. Here鈥檚 what is: if you see Genesis 嫩草影院 sold at an online retailer or your local 嫩草影院 shop, is it worth buying? In our opinion, it is 鈥� especially at the reasonable prices it sells for.
