Plus, What’s the Deal with CBD. CBN, and CBG, And Why the Entourage Effect (and Clean Extraction) Matter.
If you’ve ever taken a look at any of the Bent Paddle canna beverages and wondered what makes them stand out about the rest as a high quality craft canna beverage, we’re here to help answer some of your questions!
It’s not just about the incredible flavors, the amazing water of Lake Superior, or the fact we’ve been in the beverage industry for more than a decade. It’s deeper than that. Here, we’ll dive into what standards we have found our THC extraction and how we consider what we keep in our beverages to make them suit your moods.
Meet the Supporting Cast: CBD, CBN & CBG
CBD (Cannabidiol)
CBD is like your chill, wellness-minded best friend. It’s known for:
- Reducing anxiety
- Easing seizures and muscle spasms
- Relieving pain
- Increasing appetite
- Acting as a powerful antioxidant
- Helping you sleep (yes, it can cause drowsiness)
CBN (Cannabinol)
Often called the “sleepy cannabinoid,” CBN is a go-to for rest and recovery. It’s been shown to:
- Promote relaxation and drowsiness
- Relieve muscle spasms and pain
- Offer anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits
CBG (Cannabigerol)
CBG might be less familiar, but it’s a rising star for its therapeutic potential. Benefits include:
- Lowering blood pressure
- Stimulating bone growth
- Fighting bacteria
- Reducing inflammation
These aren’t just bonus ingredients—they’re part of a bigger picture. Take a look at our variety of beverages and gummies and see what might suit you. Lookin’ to just get the job done? Try Hightened, any of our Puff beverages, or OG Puff gummies. A pick me up? Try our Party Puff Gummies. Lastly, trying to wind down with something a bit more calming – Muse, THC+ or Good Night Puff Gummies are right for you.
The Entourage Effect: It’s a Whole Vibe
Here at Bent Paddle, we believe that the magic happens when cannabis compounds work together. It’s called the Entourage Effect—and it’s not just a buzzword.
Instead of isolating one cannabinoid (like THC), our beverages and edibles are carefully crafted to include a full range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and natural plant compounds. This synergy creates a more balanced, enjoyable, and beneficial experience than THC alone ever could.
Why Our Extraction Method Matters
To keep that harmony intact, we use a clean mechanical extraction process. That means no harsh solvents, no sketchy chemicals—just heat and pressure to pull out the good stuff while keeping it full-spectrum including the full range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and natural plant compounds and fast-acting.
Thanks to our partnership with Superior Molecular in White Bear Lake, MN, we’re able to deliver a nano-emulsion THC that absorbs quickly and evenly—so you feel it faster, and it lasts longer.
Local Roots. Full-Spectrum Goodness.
Our hemp is grown right here in Minnesota and Wisconsin by small farmers we know and trust. We’re proud to work with people who care about quality as much as we do. From seed to sip, we can trace every ingredient in your can back to its roots.
Each product is rigorously tested, transparently produced, and always free from synthetics. Just naturally extracted, federally legal Delta-9 THC—crafted with care, intention, and integrity.
Powered by Lake Superior
Fun fact: 10% of the world’s fresh surface water comes from Lake Superior. 100% of our beverages are made with it.
Clean, crisp, and refreshingly superior—from the water we use to the cannabinoids we include.
