Crescent Canna Overview

Crescent Canna is a CBD brand founded in New Orleans, Louisiana in 2019. That alone makes it unique as there aren’t many well-known CBD companies hailing from the Pelican state.

Crescent Canna sells CBD tinctures, gummies, topicals, isolates, pet, flower, and hemp-derived THC products. Aside from its incredibly low prices, the company is notable for offering some of the most potent CBD oils and topicals on the market. 

Crescent Canna uses organic American hemp extracted with ethanol to make its CBD products. It also provides detailed third-party potency and contaminant test reports.

CBD Terminology

  • Hemp: cannabis variety with high CBD and low THC levels (no more than 0.3%).
  • Terpenes: aromatic plant compounds with various beneficial properties (1).
  • Minor cannabinoids: CBN, CBG, CBC, and other beneficial cannabinoids found in smaller amounts in hemp. They may work in synergy with CBD.
  • Full-spectrum: whole-plant hemp extract containing multiple cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. This form of CBD is about four times more potent than pure CBD (2).
  • Broad-spectrum: whole-plant hemp extract similar to full-spectrum CBD, but with THC removed (may contain trace amounts).
  • CBD isolate: pure CBD without any other hemp compounds.

Crescent Canna CBD Product Lineup

Crescent Canna offers CBD oil, topicals, and gummies in multiple strengths. There’s also hemp flower, isolate, seltzer, and delta-8 THC and delta-9 THC gummies.

CBD Tinctures

Crescent Canna sells CBD isolate and full-spectrum oils with many potencies.

Third-Party TestView report

This pure CBD oil provides 500-9000 mg of CBD dissolved in coconut MCT and sunflower oil. Each 30 ml bottle comes with four flavors options: unflavored, strawberry, peppermint, and mandarin lime. The independent tests confirm that the CBD content is accurate.

My experience: I tried the 300 mg/ml version, the strongest pure CBD oil I’ve tested. Although the oil was strong for an isolated tincture and I did feel relaxed, its effects were equivalent to a much lower dose of full-spectrum CBD.

Crescent Canna Full-Spectrum CBD Oil

Third-Party TestView report

The full-spectrum version of Crescent Canna’s CBD oil comes in two strengths: strong and extra-strong. You can choose from natural or bright citrus flavors. Third-party tests show relatively low levels of minor cannabinoids though (~7%), so that’s something to work on.

My experience: I took the high-potency citrus tincture (1 ml, 167 mg CBD) an hour before bed. By bedtime, I was feeling drowsy and relaxed and fell asleep quickly.

Crescent Canna offers two kinds of pure CBD gummies: vegan (tropical flavor), with 30 mg per piece and 10 or 30 sweets per container, or sour (watermelon flavor) with a strength of 17 mg and 15-60 pieces.

They’re affordably priced with third-party tests verifying their accurate CBD content.

CBD Sleep Gummies

These gummies are designed for sleep and combine 10 mg of CBD with 10 mg of CBG, plus the popular sleep supplements melatonin (4 mg) and l-theanine (20 mg).

My experience: I took many gummies before sleep. They tasted delicious and I started feeling drowsy after about an hour and slept deeper. But I did feel more groggy the next morning, probably because I took too much melatonin. I’d recommend sticking to one or a few gummies at a time.

CBD Topicals

Crescent Canna offers a CBD cream and roller for relieving pain and inflammation.

This cream is designed to help with sore muscles and joints. It contains 500-5000 mg of pure CBD alongside other topical ingredients that may soothe pain and inflammation, including arnica, peppermint, eucalyptus, and spearmint oil.

My experience: I tried the 5000 mg version on my knees and shoulders; I didn’t really have much soreness or pain but I can imagine this working well for joint or muscle relief.

Crescent Canna CBD Freeze Roller

If you prefer hands-free application for pain relief, this roller is a good option. It comes in strengths of 1000, 3000, and 5000 mg of pure CBD isolate.

I like the roller’s formula even more than the cream: it contains menthol, camphor, and arnica, three pain and inflammation-relieving herbs backed by some research studies (3, 4, 5).

My experience: this roller did a good job of relieving muscle soreness the day after a lifting session at the gym. I felt a strong cooling and warming sensation.

These legal hemp-derived delta-9 THC gummies pack quite a punch with either 12 mg or 25 mg of delta-9 THC plus 5 mg of CBD. The regular-strength gummies are available in peach, blue raspberry, and green apple flavors, while the extra-strength ones are in strawberry and pink lemonade.

My experience: I’m sensitive to THC so I went slow and took half a 12 mg gummy right as I was going to bed. I slept deeper than normal, dreamed less, and felt a bit intoxicated. The 25 mg gummies were significantly stronger; I felt the psychoactive effects alongside happiness and sleepiness. My friends tried both the 12 mg and 25 mg versions, feeling potent relaxing and psychoactive effects.

This low-calorie 12 oz (355 ml) carbonated drink combines 6 mg of hemp-derived delta-9 THC with 3 mg of CBD, plus 40 mg of caffeine. It also contains natural flavors, BCAAs, and some minerals and vitamins. I like the ingredients in this drink and the relatively low price.

Price & Value

The easiest way to compare the value of CBD products is to divide the total cost by the amount of CBD. For example, if you have a 1500 mg CBD oil that costs $100, its price per milligram (mg) of CBD would be 100/1500 = $0.07, which is 7 cents.

You also have to keep in mind that different CBD product categories (oils, capsules, gummies, etc.) vary in price.

Here’s the breakdown of Crescent Canna’s prices:

  • CBD oil: 3-6 cents per mg of CBD
  • Gummies: 6-8 cents per mg
  • Topicals: 3-6 cents per mg
  • CBD isolate: 0.1-1 cents per mg
  • Hemp Flower: $3.6-5.7 per gram
  • Pet products: 6-12 cents per mg
  • Delta-8 gummies: 6-8 cents per mg of delta-8
  • Delta-9 gummies: 15-21 cents per mg of delta-9
  • Drinks: 5-6 cents per mg

This is cheaper than the market average for most categories, so you’re getting great value. There are few quality CBD brands offering these kinds of low prices.

Hemp Source and Extraction Process

Crescent Canna gets its hemp from organic farms in California, Colorado, Illinois, North Carolina, and Oregon.

The hemp is extracted with ethanol, a safe and effective extraction method. Specifically, the cold ethanol method is used, which uses lower temperatures to avoid unwanted compounds like chlorophyll.

But we’d like to know more details about the overall production process, like where the products are manufactured.

Third-Party Testing

Crescent Canna sends its products for independent testing at Florida’s ACS Laboratories and California’s SC Labs, two reputable, established cannabis testing labs. 

The tests check for both potency (amounts of CBD and other cannabinoids) and contaminants (heavy metals, pesticides, and more). Crescent Canna publishes certificates of analysis (COAs) on its website.

Third-Party Test Results

I always look at third-party lab test results to confirm that CBD companies sell safe, accurate, and effective products. Specifically, I check for:

  • The levels of CBD, which should be within 10% of the label (3)
  • The levels of minor cannabinoids like CBG and CBC
  • The levels of THC
  • Whether the CBD type (full, broad-spectrum, or isolate) is accurate
  • Whether there are any contaminants

I added the latest test results for three products above: the 1500 mg full-spectrum CBD oil, 17 mg CBD gummies, and 5000 mg freezer roller.

Compared to the label, these test results show that:

  • The 1500 mg CBD oil contains 10.2% more CBD, which is just around our accuracy cutoff of 10%
  • The 17 mg CBD gummies contain 6.4% more CBD
  • The 5000 mg roller contains 8.9% more CBD

Since all three of these results are below or close to the 10% cutoff, these products are considered accurate. All three also contained the advertised type of CBD.

The test results for other Crescent Canna products I looked at were similarly accurate.

All in all, we’re happy with the independent tests of Crescent Canna’s products: they’re comprehensive (potency + all contaminants), show good results, and are up-to-date.

The only thing we’d like to see added is terpene potency tests.

Shipping & Returns

Crescent Canna ships throughout the U.S. with USPS first-class, priority, and priority express options. You can qualify for free first-class shipping when you spend over $99.

The company has a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, which means you can return products for a full refund if you’re not satisfied. However, the 100-gram and 1-kilogram isolate and hemp flower in ounce and pound quantities are excluded from this policy.

Customer Service & Reputation

Crescent Canna is a relatively new brand so it’s not as reputable as top-tier CBD companies. But the hundreds of customer reviews on its website are overwhelmingly positive, just like the reviews on Google.

When I emailed the company with questions, it got back to me fairly quickly with an informative answer. One thing we’d like to see is more information about the company’s founders on its about us page.

The Verdict: Affordable CBD Brand With Accurate Products and High-Potency Options

I like Crescent Canna for several reasons. There are many products to choose from with multiple strengths and the prices are cheaper than average. I also like the high-potency products, which can be difficult to find even from top-tier brands.

Additionally, Crescent Canna provides complete, up-to-date third-party tests that verify its products are safe and match the label.

But the company does have some things to work on. For one, it needs to offer CBD capsules, which are fairly popular, and there are no full-spectrum products aside from CBD oil. I’d also like to see more info about the production process and the people behind the company.
