CBD THC Bent Paddle

Sip THC Smarter: Start Low and Go Slow

New to the hemp-derived THC waters? We recommend starting slow by beginning with half a gummy or half a can—about 2.5 mg of THC is a great introduction for first-time Paddlers. This “low and slow” approach lets you find your comfort zone without overdoing it. More experienced Paddlers often enjoy multiple beverages, with 5 to 10 mg of hemp-derived THC per serving, depending on their tolerance. Remember: every body is different, so paddle at your own pace!

The Science Behind the Buzz

How do our hemp-derived beverages “work”?

  • THC (Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol): The psychoactive compound responsible for the “high.”
  • CBD (Cannabidiol): Non-psychoactive and often associated with relaxation and wellness.

Our full-spectrum hemp products maintain a variety of cannabinoids—like THC, CBD, CBG, and CBN—that work together in what’s known as the entourage effect. This synergy enhances the effects, making full-spectrum products a superior choice for those seeking a balanced and natural experience.

While marijuana plants are often categorized by effects (sativa for energy, indica for relaxation, and hybrids in between), hemp-derived products like ours don’t carry these designations. Instead, you’ll enjoy the nuanced benefits of full-spectrum goodness without the confusion of labels.

What to Expect from our Beverages and Edibles

Most folks feel the effects of our beverages or edibles within 20-30 minutes, starting with a calm, social, and giggly sensation. This quick onset is thanks to our water-soluble ▲9 hemp emulsion, designed to deliver fast-acting and reliable results.

Why High + Dry?

Whether you’re skipping alcohol, exploring the sober-curious lifestyle, or just curious about cannabis, High & Dry January is the perfect time to try something new. Enjoy a safe, transparent, and expertly crafted experience from Bent Paddle, where every sip and every gummy celebrates the best of Minnesota.

Cheers to paddling into a high + dry new year!
