Cornbread Hemp’s CBD gummies are USDA certified organic with a clean and innovative vegan formula that’s bound to impress. Available in two strengths—including a 50 mg of CBD per gummy—it’s one of the strongest options on the market. The full-spectrum gummy features a Flower-Only™ formula, which means that the CBD comes from that particular aerial part of the hemp plant that contains the cannabinoids.

The brand recently expanded its offerings to include two organic flavors: berry and peach. The new introduction keeps the same innovative formula—organic blue agave, organic carnauba wax, organic tapioca syrup—but offers a new way to enjoy these delicious gummies.

Regardless of flavor, mindbodygreen’s vice president of scientific affairs, Ashley Jordan Ferira, Ph.D., RDN, is a fan of this formula, previously calling it one of her “current favs” on the market. She says, “This vegan gummy’s excipient profile—you know, the ‘other ingredients’—are incredibly clean, organic, and innovative.”

Just note this product does have up to 2 mg of THC due to this brand’s particular full-spectrum hemp extract. However it’s still within federal limits. For those seeking a lighter strength, the gummies are also available with 20 mg of CBD per serving. 

Sustainability & Packaging: The entire Cornbread Hemp supply chain is less than 100 miles from its USDA organic hemp farm in central Kentucky. Products are packaged in glass with options to reuse the jar or recycle.

Joy Organics is a family-owned business, co-founded by Joy Smith, whose own journey with CBD helped propel the brand to develop a range of products featuring USDA certified organic ingredients. The company’s commitment to sustainability is demonstrated by its carbon neutral shipping process and use of recyclable materials. 

Each jar of Organic CBD Gummies features a broad-spectrum formula made with organic hemp. While detectable THC is removed from the product, the brand says that they use a process that maintains a variety of beneficial other hemp-derived components. The gummies are available in a strawberry lemonade flavor and a tart green apple—either way you won’t deal with any artificial ingredients or synthetic dyes.

Sustainability & Packaging: Joy Organics uses carbon neutral shipping practices, recyclable packaging materials, and sources from organic ingredients grown with regenerative farming practices when possible. The company monitors their manufacturing process to improve sustainability.

TribeTokes gummies are handmade in small batches with organic hemp sourced from Oregon. The brand strives to use as many organic ingredients as possible in its formulations and continuously works to make its process more sustainable. 

Each TribeTokes gummy has 25 mg of CBD, and the brand recommends starting with 1 to 2 gummies and increasing dosage as desired. The gummies are naturally flavored and colored using plant ingredients like carrot juice, turmeric, and red beet extract. Reviewers on the Tribetokes website say they enjoy the tasty flavor of these gummies (but they do have gelatin, so they’re not technically vegan if that’s important to you).

Sustainability & Packaging: TribeTokes boxes are made of recyclable plastic. “We are currently designing boxes for 2023 that will also be made of 80% recycled materials, as the brand matures, and we continuously improve our supply chain,” says Degelis Tufts Pilla, CEO & co-founder of TribeTokes.

These chewy, sugar-dusted strawberry gummies take advantage of a full-spectrum hemp extract to provide the “entourage effect,” giving you a combination of cannabinoids, flavonoids, and hemp terpenes. While some brands remove terpenes from their CBD gummy products, CBDistillery intentionally includes them in this formulation for the full-spectrum experience. Though there may be trace amounts of THC in this hemp-derived product (0.3% or less), there is not enough THC present for psychoactive effects. 

Each gummy contains 30 mg of CBD from full-spectrum hemp and is made with vegan-friendly ingredients. Natural sweeteners used include organic cane sugar and tapioca syrup. While this isn’t technically within our “strong” dose range, it’s one of the most potent options and boasts terpenes (so we gave it a pass).

Sustainability & Packaging: CBDistillery is U.S. Hemp Authority certified and dedicated to natural farming practices.

Experienced CBD users seeking out an extra-strength option should look no further: These broad-spectrum gummies fit the bill. The vegan gummies boast 200 mg of CBD per serving, making them one of the most potent picks on the market. (In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised if you wanted to stick with just one gummy instead of the full serving).  

The vegan formula is also gluten-free and skips artificial sweeteners and dyes in favor of natural alternatives; corn syrup is replaced by organic tapioca syrup and cane sugar, artificial dyes are replaced with organic fruit and veggie juices. Leveraging natural flavors, each 60-count bottle incorporates a mix of flavors: strawberry, orange, raspberry, and tropical fruit.
