Pure Kana Delta-8 THC Product Review

In some of our previous reviews, we’ve discussed some popular companies like Koi and 3Chi, both with Japanese roots to their names. Today we have yet another company that derives its name from the symbol used in wonder and curiosity: kana. Loosely translated, the term “kana” means “I wonder” and provokes the listener to wonder a bit to learn more. Similarly, the brand Pure Kana encourages you to wonder and learn about their powerful Delta-8 THC oils and gummies. In this review, we’ll be reviewing Pure Kana’s lime-flavored Delta-8 THC gummies and we can’t help but wonder (see what we did there?) how this particular product will be. Without further review, here’s our honest review of these green and square-shaped Delta-8 THC gummies now!

If you’re not familiar with the differences between Delta-8 THC and CBD, we’ll do a quick recap.The hemp plant contains quite a few cannabinoids, some of which you may have already heard of. The infamous Delta-9 THC cannabinoid, also known as marijuana or weed, gives the user a powerful high that can either be couch-locking (known as the indica strain), energizing (the sativa strain), or a blend of both (the hybrid strain). Marijuana has been around for centuries, with the oldest recorded user being a Chinese emperor known as Shen Nung in the year 2727 BC. It was used medicinally for the treatment of many illnesses, and became villified as a gateway drug to stronger drugs by users craving a more intense high. The drug became outlawed for both recreational and medicinal use throughout the world, until very recently. In the United States, many states acknowledged the usefulness of medicinal use as well as monetary income.

Nowadays, both recreational use and medicinal use have been popularized tremendously, but some users still remained skeptical of its psychoactive effects and wanted all of the benefits but none of the mind-altering properties. Thus a new cannabinoid was derived from the hemp plant and CBD became the new way to homeopathically treat a variety of ailments. CBD skyrocketed in popularity for those struggling with minor pain, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, and much more. Other cannabinoids include CBG, CBDA, CBGA, delta-8 THC, and many others, but the most intriguing cannabinoid is the one in our product review today: Delta-8 THC.

Delta-8 THC is the middle ground between the psychoactive Delta-9 THC and the popular CBD cannabinoid, a “lite” version if you will. This particular cannabinoid does indeed get the user high, but allows the user to remain clear-headed and calm throughout the high. Traditional marijuana has been reported to leave the user paranoid and anxious if the correct strain and amount are not used, allowing Delta-8 THC to deliver a more attractive alternative to get the user high. Delta-8 THC also comes in different strains, just like it’s psychoactive cousin. Sativa, indica, and hybrid strains are readily available, so be sure to check your actual product to see which one is listed.

Like many companies, Pure Kana began as a CBD company that offered a wide selection of CBD products such as capsules, topicals, gummies, and oil. They also offer unique CBD products like flavored CBD disposable vapes, bath bombs, pet CBD, beverage enhancers, and even apparel. For those looking to buy in bulk, there are several bundles that company offers that allows you to save even more. When Delta-8 THC began to grow in popularity, Pure Kana incorporated two Delta-8 THC products into the fold: tinctures and gummies. Their Delta-8 THC gummies are sold for an even $40, but you can get 20% off if you sign up for their emails, as well as a 30% off discount for their subscription service.

The gummies come in four different flavors: birthday cake, strawberry, watermelon, and lime. The one we’ll be reviewing today is the lime gummies, which we’ll describe in further detail in the actual review. The website lists quite a bit of information about the gummies, including the ingredient list, suggested use and dosage, hemp information, shipping and legality information, and much more. The entire website is professionally designed and offers a wealth of information that reflects the company’s dedication to a premium high-quality product that will continue to delight their customers again and again. Now that we’ve checked out the company’s website and products offered, let’s dive right in our Pure Kana Delta-8 THC lime gummy review!

Delta-8 THC Gummies Product Review

Gummies are such a fun way to consume anything, from vitamins and supplements to our delightful Delta-8 THC treats we have today. The gummies we have today come with 25mg of premium Delta-8 THC in each gummy, totaling up to 500mg for the entire bottle. The square-shaped gummies are lime-flavored and are deep green in color, each coated in sugar crystals. I easily unscrewed the bottle cap and attempted to shake one of the gummies out. The mouth of the bottle was a little too small for just one gummy to shake out, so I ended up using my fingers to scoop one out. The gummies were about the size of a regular dice and the texture was firm yet spongy. The gummies had a nice squishy feel when I rolled it between my thumb and index finger. I detected a light lime flavor when I held the gummy up to my nose and was reminded of gumdrop candies. I popped the gummy into my mouth and was delighted with the soft and chewable texture. There was a rich and authentic lime flavor, filled by a light hemp flavor mid-chew. The gummy was soft, sweet, and had the perfect kick of citrus. Several of the pieces got stuck in my teeth and I had a light slimy coating on my teeth, so I do recommend a swig of water or quick tooth brushing session if these aftereffects bother you. I also noticed my mouth felt warm and a little dry, but nothing that was wildly uncomfortable or unpleasant.

The gummies took about 45 minutes to fully kick in, and it was a very heady beginning. There wasn’t the usual fade in to feeling high, but rather an abrupt “BAM! Now you’re high” type of feeling. I had a delicious tingling in my face, hands, and feet. My eyes got heavy and droopy, and I felt sleepy and relaxed. One of my tell-tale signs of feeling high is that my sinuses feel tingly with slight pressure (like the pressure of glasses on your nose), but this side effect was surprisingly absent with these gummies. Overall, I experienced a smooth and powerful mind and body high that left me fully relaxed and clear-headed simultaneously. I was able to perform simple tasks without feeling dizzy or paranoid, thus allowing me to remain in control of my high the entire time. I woke up the next morning with no “hangover high,” as I like to call it, meaning no buzzed feeling or dizziness. I felt refreshed, well-rested, and ready to start my day. The flavor, texture, and effects of these gummies instantly made the Pure Kana Delta-8 THC gummies one of my top favorite Delta-8 THC products to try. If you’re looking to enter into the wonderful world of Delta-8 THC products, I encourage you to check these gummies out for yourself!

Lab Testing

Independent third-party lab testing results are extremely important when it comes to any Delta-8 THC products. Since hemp-derived products aren’t regulated by the FDA, there are many users who fear that the quality and quantity of these items may be exaggerated or completely untrue. To combat this, companies have started sending out their products to unaffiliated labs to have them thoroughly test and confirm the potency of their products without any compensation or bias. Pure Kana provides the lab results for their Delta-8 THC gummies directly on the product page. Simply scroll to the middle of the page and select the flavor you’re wanting to view the lab results for. I was intrigued to discover that Pure Kana provides the lab results from two separate batches. Lab results are expensive and time-consuming, so it’s impressive that the company provides multiple test results for their customers. You can also view the lab results by scanning the QR code on the product packaging.

CONCLUSION
