We’ve been testing CBD products since 2022, and Aspen Green CBD is one of our favorite brands. Here’s how the products affected us.

Aspen Green is an award-winning, American-made CBD and hemp producer based in Colorado. The brand is certified with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and sells products including CBD oil, gummies, and topicals that are third-party tested and without genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

We first tried Aspen Green products in 2022. Since then, the packaging has changed but we still find the oils, gummies, and topicals helpful for de-stressing, sleeping better, and managing pain. Let’s dive in.

The tl;dr on Aspen Green

  • stands out for offering high potency and extra-strength products
  • certified organic
  • non-GMO
  • all products are third-party tested with current certificates of analysis

Aspen Green has a great reputation among other buyers.

Right now, the company doesn’t have a Better Business Bureau (BBB) rating.

They also don’t have any Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warning letters nor have they been involved in any lawsuits. This is typically a good sign and indicator of the company’s safety and quality.

Our editor testing a favorite CBD oil by Aspen Green

Each Aspen Green item has a list of ingredients and terpenes on the product page. Lab purity tests are also available for each product, which are done by a third-party laboratory, Botanacor Laboratories.

The COAs include a cannabinoid and terpene profile as well as tests for pesticides, metals, and residual solvents for all products. The products are USDA certified organic.

We select CBD brands and products based on criteria we think are good indicators of safety, quality, and transparency.

As a part of our , we consider:

  • the product’s composition, ingredients, and overall quality
  • any third-party certifications
  • the company’s reputation and business practices
  • any lab test results
  • marketing claims

We also considered Aspen Green’s certifications and manufacturing process, product potency, overall ingredients, and customer reviews.

Once products pass this initial vetting, our team tests them hands on to include feedback on taste, texture, and overall experience. All products have been hands-on tested and reviewed by Christy Snyder, the writer and editor of this piece, who received the products for free. All opinions are Snyder’s.

Aspen Green Extra Strength CBD oil and Relief Cooling Cream topical

While research from 2017 suggests that CBD is generally safe to use, it does have some side effects to look out for, such as:

  • fatigue
  • diarrhea
  • changes in appetite
  • changes in weight

Talk with your doctor or healthcare professional before trying CBD, especially if you’re taking any medications. CBD may interact with some medications, especially those with a grapefruit warning.

Another thing to consider when consuming CBD is ingesting it alongside high fat meals. In a small 2020 study, high fat meals severely increased CBD blood concentrations, which can increase the risk of side effects.

Is CBD legal? The 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp from the legal definition of marijuana in the Controlled Substances Act. This made some hemp-derived CBD products with less than 0.3% THC legal at the federal level. However, CBD products containing more than 0.3% THC still fall under the legal definition of marijuana, making them illegal at the federal level. Some states have legalized CBD, so be sure to check state laws, especially when traveling. Also, keep in mind that the FDA has not approved nonprescription CBD products, and some products may be inaccurately labeled.
