Hi,

I cannot have thc cause of work but I used to use it to help me stretch and do mayofascial release. Looking for a cbd supplement that helps folks feel calm, less guarded, and motivated.

I’m so overwhelmed by options it has led to inaction.

Student idea: kava mouth pouches

What’s up everybody,

I’m currently in a master’s program for entrepreneurship, and I’m trying to figure out if an idea I’m working on is actually useful before I spend money trying to build it.

The idea is a kava-based mouth pouch, something you would place in your gums, similar to a nicotine pouch, but without nicotine or tobacco.

From what I understand, kava is commonly used by people who want a more relaxing, social feeling, and some people drink it as an alternative to alcohol. My thought was: what if that same idea could exist in a pouch format for people who like the oral fixation, flavor, and ritual of having something in their mouth?

I’m not selling anything. This product doesn’t exist right now, and I’m not trying to promote anything. I’m just trying to get honest feedback and see if this is something people would actually care about.

I’ll include an AI-generated mockup just to show the general direction I’m thinking about.

Gut reaction:

Would you try something like this?

Does the idea sound useful or pointless?

What would make you trust it?

What would make you immediately not want to use it?

What flavors would actually make sense,  mint, cinnamon, original kava, something else?

Be brutally honest. I’m active and I’ll respond to comments because I’m genuinely trying to learn whether this is worth exploring.

Forbes Health tested 115 CBD products. These were the brands that had issues.

I saw Forbes Health published an independent lab-testing investigation into CBD products, and it’s worth reading if you use CBD regularly.

They tested 115 retail CBD products through Nova Analytic Labs, including oils, gummies and topicals.

Most samples were fine. That part matters.

But a handful were reported as failed or flagged for things I don’t think most casual CBD buyers are checking for when they see “third-party lab tested.”

The products they called out:

  • Redeem Therapeutics Broad Spectrum CBD Tincture: failed for pesticides detected above the lab limit.
  • Redeem Therapeutics Broad Spectrum CBD Gummy: failed for inconsistent CBD per gummy.
  • R&R Multifunctional THC-Free CBD Gummies: CBD per gummy varied by more than the lab’s consistency threshold.
  • R&R Multifunctional CBD Tincture: failed for lead detected above the lab limit in the original sample.
  • American Shaman Water Soluble CBD, Hemp Oil (THC Free): failed for yeast/mold above the lab limit.
  • Medterra Pain Relief Cream: flagged for trace lead found.

I’m not reading this as “all CBD is dangerous” or “never buy from these brands.”

But it did make me rethink the phrase “lab tested.”

A lot of people seem to look only at CBD potency and whether THC is under 0.3%. That is useful, but it does not tell you much about pesticides, heavy metals, yeast/mold, microbials, mycotoxins or residual solvents.

To me, the takeaway is:

A potency-only COA is not enough. Curious how people here read COAs.

What’s your minimum standard before trusting a CBD product?
