Are Papa G’s products actually USDA organic?
Yes, they actually are! View our certificate here. Our USDA organic CBD flower and oils have been certified organic by Eco Certs. Our products meet a rigorous set of standards set by the USDA for pesticides, fertilizers, and much more.
Why does Papa G’s only use the hemp flowers in its products?
CBD and the other Full Spectrum cannabinoids are produced in the flower of the hemp plant, not the stems, stalk, leaves, or other plant parts. That means the flowers of the hemp plant have been separated from the rest of the plant parts, instead of using the whole plant. The result is a higher quality Full Spectrum CBD extract that is free of unnecessary plant matter.
How do I know where Papa G’s Organic products come from?
Before purchasing CBD products from a company, look for their hemp farm on the company website, or ask for their hemp growing license. If they have photos and video of the farm on the website, or a hemp license from their state then they are probably a good resource if you are in search of a local hemp farmer. If you don’t find pictures of the hemp farm or a license, odds are that they don’t have one! Here at Papa G’s, we grow organic hemp plants for its flower. We then use the organic flowers to make our own organic extracts that get added into products.
Are Papa G’s Organic CBD products third party lab tested?

We never release a batch of CBD oil for sale online, or with our retail partners, until we know for sure that it is 100% free of pesticides, heavy metals, mycotoxins, and microbials, and that the product label is accurate as it relates to CBD content. View our certificate of analysis for each batch along side each product photo and description. This also includes our selection of CBD topicals and CBD oil for pets.
How Long Does It Take for CBD Oil to Work?

Understand that health benefits from natural supplements like CBD edibles, CBD tincture and oils don’t happen overnight. It takes time for the human body to adjust after implementing several different changes into our lifestyle.
