We have some mixed news for all of you hemp enthusiasts in the Golden State. Yes, Select Spectrum is legal in California. Unfortunately, though, we are not able to ship our products to your state.
Select Spectrum is an entire class of hemp products that Hometown Hero developed. They feature a 1:1 ratio of hemp-derived CBD, Delta-9 THC, and other minor cannabinoids. For example, a Select Spectrum gummy will contain 10mg of CBD and 10mg of Delta-9 THC. The purpose of this blend is to encourage the entourage effect.
What is the entourage effect? When by themselves, cannabinoids have their distinct properties. Together, they have a synergistic effect that helps them “bring out the best” in each other. Hometown Hero’s Select Spectrum products are the first hemp-derived products developed to encourage the entourage effect specifically.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. Long story short, there’s a lot of red tape to cross if we ship our products to California. However, if anything does change in the future, we would be more than happy to ship our products out to the state. But for the time being, don’t count on seeing any Hometown Hero products in California.
