About the Company: Original Hemp
Original Hemp is a Florida-based CBD company selling CBD oils, capsules, gummies, and topicals with a wide variety of potencies, flavors, and formulations.
It’s unique for offering multi-ingredient formulas for stress, relief, and sleep that combine CBD with other evidence-based supplements.
The products are sourced from Oregon-grown hemp and go through comprehensive third-party testing to verify their potency, type of CBD extract, and lack of contaminants.
Original Hemp is the sister brand of Funky Farms, another CBD company. Both brands are operated by Arise Bioscience, which in turn is owned by Terrascend, one of the biggest North American cannabis companies.
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 may be about 4 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 with all other hemp compounds removed.
Original Hemp CBD Product Lineup
Original Hemp’s lineup includes all of the popular types of CBD products: tinctures, capsules, gummies, and topicals. Most are made with full-spectrum CBD, while the gummies are broad-spectrum (THC-free).
CBD Tinctures
There are 3 types of full-spectrum CBD oil tinctures: regular, water-soluble, and a special relief formula, plus a daily dose product.
Original Hemp Full Spectrum CBD Tincture
| CBD Potency | 8-67 mg/ml |
| Volume | 30 ml |
| Total CBD | 250-2000 mg |
| Cost per mg CBD | $0.06-0.08 |
| Type | Full-spectrum |
| Flavors | 3 |
| Third-Party Test | View report |
Original Hemp’s full-spectrum CBD oil comes in potencies ranging from low (8 mg/ml) to high (67 mg/ml). That’s a great selection for both new users and people with higher dosage requirements but I’d like to see higher minor cannabinoid levels.
These 30 ml tinctures are available in natural, fresh berry, and vanilla dream flavors.
Original Hemp Relief Tincture
| CBD Potency | 21.7-67 mg/ml |
| Volume | 30 ml |
| Total CBD | 650-2000 mg |
| Cost per mg CBD | $0.06-0.09 |
| Type | Full-spectrum |
| Flavors | 1 |
| Third-Party Test | N/A |
The newest product from Original Hemp, this unique tincture is designed to help with pain and inflammation.
It blends 650-2000 mg of full-spectrum CBD with two ingredients that may have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties: curcumin complex (3) and white willow bark extract (4), plus Bioperine to improve absorption. Unfortunately, there are no third-party tests for this tinture yet.
Original Hemp Water-Soluble Tincture
| CBD Potency | 8-67 mg/ml |
| Volume | 30 ml |
| Total CBD | 250-2000 mg |
| Cost per mg CBD | $0.06-0.10 |
| Type | Full-spectrum |
| Flavors | 3 |
| Third-Party Test | View report |
According to Original Hemp, its water-soluble tincture is specially formulated for faster and greater absorption and for mixing with beverages. It comes in the same four strengths as the regular full-spectrum tincture.
Although the company doesn’t provide many details, I guess this tincture is made with nanoemulsion technology to break down CBD oil into smaller droplets that are easier to mix with water.
Original Hemp Daily Dose Tincture
| CBD Potency | 33 mg/ml |
| Volume | 12-30 ml |
| Total CBD | 396-1000 mg |
| Cost per mg CBD | $0.05-0.08 |
| Type | Full-spectrum |
| Flavors | 3 |
| Third-Party Test | View report |
This product packs 1 ml servings of Original Hemp’s full-spectrum CBD oil into individual packets. Each packet provides 33 mg of CBD (1 ml of CBD oil) and comes in the same 3 flavors as the regular tinctures: natural, fresh berry, and vanilla dream.
There are a total of 30 packets per pack (1000 mg CBD), making it easy to take a precise dose. You can also buy a variety pack with 12 packets of different flavors. I think a tincture is more convenient but I can see how some people may find this useful.
CBD Capsules
Original Hemp’s full-spectrum CBD capsules come in 3 formulas: relief, stress, and sleep.
Original Hemp Relief Capsules
| CBD Potency | 12.5 mg |
| Capsule Count | 60 |
| Total CBD | 750 mg |
| Cost per mg CBD | $0.09 |
| Type | Full-spectrum |
| Third-Party Test | View report |
The relief capsules are formulated to address pain and inflammation. They contain CBD alongside chaga mushroom, valerian root, boswellia serrata and turmeric extract, two herbs that have shown anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects in research (3,5,6).
They also include Bioperine, a patented piperine extract that’s frequently used to enhance the absorption of turmeric and other supplement ingredients.
Original Hemp Stress Capsules
| CBD Potency | 12.5 mg |
| Capsule Count | 60 |
| Total CBD | 750 mg |
| Cost per mg CBD | $0.09 |
| Type | Full-spectrum |
| Third-Party Test | View report |
These capsules are designed to help with stress. They contain CBD and a blend of terpenes alongside evidence-based herbal anti-stress ingredients.
These include the tea-derived amino acid L-theanine, which has been shown to reduce stress-related symptoms (7), magnesium and vitamin B6, two nutrients involved in the body’s stress regulation (8), and Sensoril, a patented extract of the popular adaptogenic herb ashwagandha that can improve the body’s stress resistance (9).
Original Hemp Sleep Capsules
| CBD Potency | 12.5 mg |
| Capsule Count | 60 |
| Total CBD | 750 mg |
| Cost per mg CBD | $0.09 |
| Type | Full-spectrum |
| Third-Party Test | View report |
The sleep capsules are designed to help you sleep better.
They carry full-spectrum CBD, a blend of terpenes, and 4 sleep supplements: L-theanine, which has shown to improve sleep by reducing anxiety (10), GABA, an amino acid produced by the brain that may promote sleep (11), 5-HTP, the precursor to serotonin, a brain chemical involved in regulating sleep (12), and melatonin, the most research-backed sleep aid (13).
CBD Gummies
Original Hemp’s vegan gummies carry 25 mg of CBD and come in two varieties: relief and immune support.
Original Hemp Relief Gummies
| CBD Potency | 25 mg |
| Gummy Count | 10-20 |
| Total CBD | 250-500 mg |
| Cost per mg CBD | $0.09-0.10 |
| Type | Broad-spectrum |
| Third-Party Test | View report |
A gummy version of the relief tincture, these sweet nectar-flavored edibles are formulated to help with pain and inflammation. They contain 25 mg of broad-spectrum CBD plus boswellia serrata, ashwagandha, and magnesium.
Original Hemp Immune Support Gummies
| CBD Potency | 25 mg |
| Gummy Count | 20 |
| Total CBD | 500 mg |
| Cost per mg CBD | $0.09 |
| Type | Broad-spectrum |
| Third-Party Test | N/A |
Meanwhile, these gummies blend CBD with immune-supporting ingredients like vitamin C, B6 & B12, and green tea extract.
CBD Topicals
Original hemp has two topical CBD products: a cool relief roll-on for pain/inflammation and a bath bomb.
Original Hemp Relief Roll-On
| CBD Potency | 11-17 mg/ml |
| Volume | 1-2 oz (30-60 ml) |
| Total CBD | 333-1000 mg |
| Cost per mg CBD | $0.07-0.09 |
| Type | Full-spectrum |
| Third-Party Test | View report |
This full-spectrum CBD roll-on is designed to relieve joint and muscle discomfort and inflammation. It contains menthol and comes in two CBD strengths: 333 mg (1 oz), 1000 mg (2 oz).
CBD Bath Bomb
| CBD Potency | 100 mg |
| Cost per mg CBD | $0.13 |
| Type | Isolate? |
| Third-Party Test | N/A |
This bath bomb is infused with 100 mg of CBD plus peppermint, orange and lavender essential oils. But I don’t recommend CBD bath bombs because CBD doesn’t dissolve in water. You’re better off using regular bath bombs.
Price & Value
The easiest way to compare the prices of different CBD products to see if you’re getting a good deal 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 mg would be 100/1500 = $0.07.
You also have to consider that the prices differ for different types of products. For Original Hemp, most of its products are priced at or slightly below average:
- $0.05–0.10 per mg of CBD oil
- $0.09 per mg for capsules
- $0.09-0.10 per mg for gummies
- $0.07–0.09 per mg for topicals
These prices are considered average, but you can get 20-30% off by subscribing to monthly deliveries. Original Hemp also has a 30% discount for veterans, first responders, and other qualifying groups.
Hemp Source and Production Process
Original Hemp’s CBD products are made from hemp cultivated in Oregon. However, it’s not clear whether this hemp is grown organically or not.
This hemp is extracted with carbon dioxide (CO2), the most advanced method of isolating CBD and other active compounds from the plant. CO2 extraction is the most popular way of extracting CBD because it’s safe, effective, and clean.
Third-Party Testing
Original Hemp sends its products for independent testing at two reputable CBD labs: Florida’s Green Scientific Labs and Nevada’s DB Labs.
These comprehensive tests check the potency (levels of CBD, THC, and other cannabinoids) of the products to make sure they match the label.
They also look for heavy metals, pesticides, and other potential contaminants.
Third-Party Test Results
I always check third-party lab test results to confirm that CBD companies sell safe and effective products. In particular, I check:
- The levels of CBD (should be within 10% of the label, according to experts) (14)
- The levels of THC
- Whether there are any contaminants
- The levels of minor cannabinoids (the more, the better)
One thing to keep in mind is that Original Hemp lists the total cannabinoid content of each product, rather than just CBD. That’s why I compared the total cannabinoid content on the tests to the label, instead of just CBD.
Most of the test results show that Original Hemp products contain about as much or more cannabinoids than they should:
- One test of the 2000 mg berry-flavored tincture showed 2039 mg of cannabinoids, which is a great result (only 2% higher than the label)
- A test of the company’s relief capsules showed 12.9 mg of cannabinoids per capsule, which is only 3% higher than the advertised amount of 12.5 mg
- Another test of the roll-on showed 2450 mg of cannabinoids instead of 2000, which is 22.5% higher
The tests also confirmed that Original Hemp’s products are made with either full or broad-spectrum hemp extract.
But the testing can be better. Most importantly, some of the newer Relief products are missing third-party test reports, while existing tests for some other products are outdated (older than a year).
Shipping & Returns
Original Hemp ships throughout the 48 contiguous U.S. states, with free shipping on orders over $100. The company has a standard 30-day return policy with a full refund (minus shipping costs) for unused items.
Customer Service & Reputation
Original Hemp isn’t a well-known CBD company but has over 300 satisfied customer reviews on its website, most of which give its products 5 or 4 stars.
I also emailed Original Hemp with a question and got a helpful response back within a day. All in all, Original Hemp looks like a legit company, even if it’s less established than leading CBD brands.
My Verdict: Innovative Brand With Room to Improve
Original Hemp gets my vote. I like the innovative relief, stress, and sleep formulas that use a wide variety of ingredients, and the relief tincture is particularly impressive.
Having said that, I’d like to see improvements in the testing, since some newer products are missing tests, while other products have outdated test results.
It would also be nice to have more information about the company and its hemp source. Right now all the information is generic.
