What is the Medipaq Sold by Nova Hemp?

The bag of white powder included within the Medipaq is pure CBD isolate—a highly concentrated form of cannabidiol (CBD). Why is it there? Under SB 903 regulations, any product with more than 2mg of THC must also include enough CBD to maintain the state's required ratio of 25 parts CBD for every 1 part THC.

Essentially, the CBD isolate ensures that Nova Hemp products remain compliant with Virginia law.

Here’s where things get tricky. The intention of including the CBD isolate is to allow consumers to combine it with existing products. For example, you might be tempted to mix it into the included gummies to create a "kit" that adheres to the law.

However, we don’t recommend this approach, and here’s why:

1. Taste Issues: CBD isolate is extremely bitter. Mixing it into gummies or other edibles will likely ruin the flavor.
2. Scientific Concerns: Recent studies have shown that combining high levels of CBD with THC doesn’t reduce the psychoactive effects of THC—in some cases, it can actually enhance them, making the product more intoxicating. (Source: Healthline)

Our priority is to provide safe, enjoyable experiences for our customers, which is why we advise against mixing the isolate with the gummies.

If you don’t want to use the CBD isolate as intended, there are several alternative options. Here are a few ideas:

• Create Homemade CBD-Infused Foods: Add the isolate to olive oil, butter, or another carrier oil to create CBD-infused meals or baked goods.
• Make Your Own Tincture: Combine the CBD isolate with MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oil to create a tincture you can add to your wellness routine.
• DIY Topicals: Mix the isolate into a lotion or balm base to create your own CBD-infused skincare or pain-relief products.
• Dispose of It: If none of these options appeal to you, you’re free to throw it away.

Ultimately, how you use or dispose of the isolate is up to you. Nova Hemp believes in our customers rights to do what they wish with their body.

SB 903’s requirement for a 25:1 CBD to THC ratio was likely intended to promote safety, but research has called this policy into question. According to recent findings, higher amounts of CBD in combination with THC can actually amplify the intoxicating effects of THC, which is the opposite of the law’s intended outcome. (Source: Healthline)

At Nova Hemp, your safety and experience are our top priorities. We’ve designed the Medipaq to follow the law while giving you the flexibility to use the CBD isolate in a way that works best for you—or not at all.
