CBD FAQ's

  • How will your CBD/THC products make me feel?

    Every person is different and has a different tolerance when it comes to cannabinoids depending on body type, make-up, level of use, etc. Paddle carefully into new waters with our CBD+ (2mg THC/25mg CBD) to start and then move onto our THC+ (5 mg THC/5 mg CBD) for the higher dose experience if you are new to CBD/THC products.

  • What makes your CBD/THC Sparkling waters unique?

    Our refreshing sparkling waters have no sugars or calories. The non-synthetic delta 9 THC and CBD is derived from MN grown hemp through Finnegan's Farms and processed by Twin Cities based Superior Molecular and brewed by Bent Paddle using the pristine water of Lake Superior - 100% MN sourced from farm to can!

  • What is CBD?

    Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring chemical compound that is extracted and processed from flowers of cannabis plants such as hemp. There are many ongoing studies looking at the effects of CBD. Unlike its cousin THC, CBD is not “high-inducing” or intoxicating.

    Though our CBD Sparkling Water is in the non-alcoholic category we are only selling it to Paddlers who are age 21+ and do not recommend for women who are pregnant or breast feeding.

  • What is the difference between Broad Spectrum and Full Spectrum CBD?

    Broad Spectrum CBD Extract is processed without any THC present in the final product whereas Full Spectrum CBD Extract contains trace amounts of THC in accordance with Minnesota State Statutes.

  • Is there THC in your product?

    Both our CBD+ and THC+ Sparkling Beverage lines contain THC as we use a Full Spectrum CBD hemp extract. As per State Statute we only include less than 5 mg per serving of Hemp Derived THC in those products listing it.

  • What is the difference between your THC+ and CBD+ Product Lines?

    Our THC+ product line contains 5mg THC and 5mg CBD whereas our CBD+ Sparkling Water product line contains 2mg THC and 25mg CBD Hemp Extract. We plan to make a CBD Product line in the future that contains no THC.

  • Where can I buy your CBD/THC beverages?

    We offer 12 oz. cans of our CBD+ and THC+ Sparkling Waters in our Taproom for to-go or to open and consume on-site. We also distribute the 4pks of 12 oz. cans to grocery stores, convenience stores, CBD shops, and miscellaneous establishments in the broader Minnesota market - check availability near you via the Store Locator Tool above.

    You must be 21+ to purchase any CBD products.

  • Will you make a CBD/THC Beer?

    Under State and Federal Laws we are not permitted to combine CBD/THC products with Alcohol products. Our THC+ and CBD+ Sparkling Water product lines are a great "break" from beer.
