CANNABINOIDS

THC · Tetrahydrocannabinol

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the intoxicating cannabinoid responsible for the “high” associated with cannabis. Hemp-derived wellness products are formulated to contain only trace, region-compliant amounts, or none at all.

The legal definition of hemp limits THC to a small percentage by dry weight, which varies by region. Mery J products are non-intoxicating; broad-spectrum and isolate formats are formulated to contain no detectable THC.

How to avoid THC entirely

Choose a broad-spectrum or isolate product and check the Certificate of Analysis, the cannabinoid table will show THC as “ND” (not detected) or below the limit of quantitation.

Why it matters

THC is the single most important number for buyers who must stay clear-headed or who are subject to testing, and it is exactly what a COA verifies.

CBD

CBD (cannabidiol) is a naturally occurring, non-intoxicating compound found in hemp. It is the most studied cannabinoid after THC and is widely used in wellness products such as oils, gummies and topicals, without producing a “high”.

Broad-spectrum

Broad-spectrum CBD contains multiple cannabinoids and terpenes like full-spectrum, but with the THC removed to non-detectable levels. It aims to offer the entourage effect without any THC.

CBD Isolate

CBD isolate is the purest form of CBD, typically 99%+ cannabidiol with all other plant compounds removed. It contains no THC, no other cannabinoids and no terpenes, and is flavourless and odourless.

COA

A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is an independent laboratory report that verifies what is, and is not, in a product. For CBD it confirms cannabinoid potency (including THC) and screens for contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides and microbials.

Frequently asked

Can a CBD product contain zero THC?

Yes, broad-spectrum and isolate products are formulated to contain no detectable THC, confirmed on the Certificate of Analysis.
