Starting a hemp regimen can be a daunting task – there are so many methods of taking hemp, different “strains”, and so many different products on the market! Add in the fact that many hemp products in the market are made with low standards/quality and it can be really difficult for a novice to know where to begin. This leads many people to not choose any hemp product at all or to mistakenly take lower quality (usually cheaper) products and decide based on them that hemp is not effective for their needs. At Appalachian Standard, by far our most frequently asked question is a beginner wondering where to start which is understandable considering how many options there are.

 

The main thing we try to emphasize to new customers is that taking hemp in any form, on a consistent basis, is the most important thing for getting results. Feeding the body’s endocannabinoid system takes time and consistency over time really seems to have a compounding effect. Therefore, the best hemp product is one that will be easiest for you to integrate into a consistent daily routine! With that in mind we created the Beginner’s Bundle to provide customers with everything they need to successfully start a regimen.

 

The first thing we knew we needed to include in a beginner’s set is a bottle of our Extra Strength Greenhouse Blend tincture. Tinctures are perfect for using consistently for a few reasons. Because you know exactly how much hemp extract is in the bottle, it is simple to measure a precise dose every time you use it. Our Extra Strength has a whopping 100mg of active cannabinoids in every mL so .25mL is 25 mg, .50mL is 50 mg, etc. Taking tincture is as easy as measuring a dose and letting the tincture sit under the tongue for 30 seconds to a minute to allow for maximum absorption before swallowing. This tincture is made from a blend of our strains which makes it extremely well balanced and suited for using morning, day, or night depending on your needs! Don’t be fooled by the small bottle, the Extra Strength Greenhouse Blend tincture contains 60 25 mg doses!

 

Another absolute necessity is our famous Appalachian Standard Boujee Bears, the delicious gummies that are our best selling product! These contain a 15mg dose of active cannabinoids and are made with the same hemp extract that is in the Greenhouse Blend tincture. These are a great way to take some goodness on the go or just enjoy a little treat that provides calming relief.

 

Last but definitely not least is our topical menthol salve. This is a topical that is used on the skin to help with achy joints and sore muscles by applying hemp extract directly to the target areas. Using topical hemp in addition to ingested forms of hemp like the tincture and bears is a great approach for those who are dealing with persistent recurring pain. This salve is also perfect for athletes as it soothes muscles with a tingly menthol sensation while also delivering serious relief via the 500mg of hemp extract in the container!

 

Using this kit is a great way to dip your toe into the world of hemp to see if it is right for you. These are our most tried-and-true products that have helped thousands of customers find relief. It is a great stepping stone to all of the other types of products and different strains/cultivars that are available as well!

We are limited in some of the advice that we are legally allowed to give (no medical advice etc) but we will do our best to help you navigate the exciting world of hemp!
