PureKana and Premium Jane enter the Delta-8 Foray

With established CBD companies like Premium Jane and PureKana diving into the world of Delta-8 THC, you know this substance is more than a flash in the pan. Both companies have invested heavily in creating high-quality products using only hemp-derived Delta-8 THC. Both companies have years of experience with cannabinoid extraction and testing, meaning these aren’t the dodgy products you might see popping up at your local gas station.

Delta-8 THC is a cannabinoid that is molecularly very similar to its more potent psychoactive cousin, Delta-9 THC. Delta-8 does produce a high, but its slightly different molecular structure means that it’s a much milder buzz (though of course, effects will differ from person to person).

But here’s one big difference. Delta-8 THC is derived from hemp, which is federally legal in the US.  It’s important to make sure you’re buying your Delta-8 THC products from a trusted source, as it must be hemp-derived to be legal.

Admittedly, the CBD industry hasn’t been around for terribly long, but Premium Jane has been in the CBD game since very close to the beginning. The company is based in Scottsdale, Arizona and, unlike so many CBD brands, Premium Jane puts the names (and faces) of its founders on the website – so they’re not afraid to stand behind their products. The company has built its reputation on solid manufacturing practices and readily available lab tests.

To say they offer a bit of everything would be an exaggeration, but they really do have a large selection of hemp-derived CBD products. This Premium Jane brand review is obviously focused on the company’s new Delta-8 line, which is more limited than their CBD line, but let’s dive into our favorites, forthwith!

Premium Jane Delta-8 products are all sourced from organically-grown, Kentucky hemp (the good stuff).  The company takes pride in its market-leading formulations and third party testing (with COAs on product pages). But what’s a gummy worth if it doesn’t taste good? Thankfully, Premium Jane Delta-8 gummies taste great (all three flavors) and are making customers very happy. Each gummy contains 25 mg hemp-derived Delta-8 THC, and you can check the lab sheet on the product page just to make sure your batch isn’t a dud.

One other thing – these gummies use pectin instead of gelatin, so they’re suitable for the vegans in your life. No animal by-products here!

Ingredients:

Birthday Cake: Sugar, Corn syrup, Pectin, Hemp Extract, Water, Soy Lecithin, Pectin, Natural Flavors & Color, Citric Acid.

Mango: Sugar, Corn syrup, Pectin, Sunflower Oil, Water, Flavoring, Sodium Acid Sulfate, Citric Acid, Natural and Artificial Food Coloring, 25mg Delta-8 THC, Plant-derived Terpenes

Like all Premium Jane Delta-8 products, this Delta-8 tincture is formulated from a full spectrum hemp distillate. But unlike the company’s other tinctures, this one combines 1000 mg of Delta-8 THC with 200 mg CBG. For the uninitiated, CBG is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that is known to fight pain and inflammation – and it also has antibacterial properties.

Premium Jane’s Delta-8 + CBG oil tincture comes in a 30 ml bottle which offers 60 servings of just under 17 mg Delta-8. For those who like options, you can choose between Candy Watermelon and Tropical Punch flavors (from real fruit extracts).

Ingredients:

Watermelon: Hemp Extract (Delta-8), Cannabigerol (CBG), MCT oil, Full Spectrum Hemp Distillate, natural watermelon flavor

Tropical: Hemp Extract (Delta-8), Cannabigerol (CBG), MCT oil, Full Spectrum Hemp Distillate, Pineapple, Orange, Raspberry Extract

PureKana is another Arizona-based CBD company and a big name in the CBD industry. The company majors in CBD products, with a wide range of full-spectrum offerings which now include Delta-8 options. The company guarantees that PureKana products are non-GMO and contain no pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, or solvents. You can check batch numbered lab reports for potency (and most contain testing for contaminants as well). These are easy to find on the website.

PureKana company leadership stands behind their products and offer decades of collective experience in cannabinoid extraction and product formulation. And if you’re not happy with your PureKana Delta-8 products, the company offers a 30-day return policy (though you’ll have to pay for return shipping).

Our PureKana Delta-8 review begins with the gummies! These delicious morsels come in four flavors, so you’re likely to find what makes your tastebuds happy – whether you’re more of a lime aficionado or the birthday cake type. Each gummy contains 25 mg Delta-8 THC and there are twenty gummies in each bottle.

PureKana Delta-8 gummies are vegan (they use pectin rather than gelatin) and three of the flavors (excluding Birthday Cake) include natural terpenes. These are precisely dosed gummies, and for your peace of mind, third party lab reports are available on the product page. (These are batch numbered so you can be sure.)

Purekana’s take on the Delta-8 Tincture packs 1000 mg of Delta-8 combined with 200 mg CBG (cannabigerol). Extracted from organically grown Kentucky hemp, these Delta-8 tinctures are formulated in the US. There are two flavor options (Watermelon and Chocolate Mint) and the cannabinoids are carried in MCT oil. The ingredients lists for these tinctures are nice and short and easy to understand, so if you’re looking for a more natural product, this might be a good choice.

Also, it’s worth noting that while the ingredients list includes a full spectrum hemp distillate, we checked the COA for this product and there are only trace amounts of other cannabinoids (Including Delta-9 THC, in case that’s something you want to avoid).

Ingredients:

Chocolate-Mint: Hemp Extract (Delta-8), Cannabigerol (CBG), MCT oil, full spectrum hemp distillate, Natural Chocolate Flavor, Pure Spearmint Oil.

Watermelon: Hemp Extract (Delta-8), Cannabigerol (CBG), MCT oil, full spectrum hemp distillate, Natural Watermelon Flavor.

You might recognize the name Koi from their excellent CBD products, but if you haven’t tried their Delta-8 gummies yet, you’re in for a treat. Made with hemp-derived Delta-8 THC, with 25mg per gummy, they’re available in a range of fun fruity flavors like mango and lime.

Gummies make dosing as easy as can be, and they’re also ultra-portable – just toss a jar in your bag, and you’re ready for whatever the day throws at you.

These Delta-8 gummies by Exhale are vegan, cruelty-free, made without gelatin, and 100% organic – making them perfect for the conscious and discerning Delta-8 consumer. They’re infused with full spectrum Delta-8 extract for a balanced and rounded high, and come as a mix of various delicious flavors. For a simple and effective Delta-8 option, you can’t go wrong with these tasty gummies.

For those who prefer to vape their Delta-8, check out these 510-threaded vape cartridges from Diamond. Each cartridge has its own lab report showing the cannabinoid profile, along with confirming that it’s free of any adulterants or contaminants. They contain only hemp extract and natural terpenes – no fillers, oils, or acetates – making them safe to vape, and delicious to boot. Since vaping is considered to be more bioavailable than edibles, start slow if you’re new to vaping Delta-8 – you may find it quite a bit more potent than gummies.

Delta-8 THC products are a relatively new phenomenon, and if you’re looking for a chance to try them out safely, it’s hard to go wrong with either PureKana or Premium Jane. Both companies offer a high level of company transparency and accountability, as well as great customer service (including free shipping and 30-day returns).
