Fairwinds CBD Review

Written by Tyler Swell — Edited by Cathy Rozyczko on February 9, 2021

The ingenuity and creativity innate to the engineering life translate well into the CBD industry, as Fairwinds CBD has some of the most technologically advanced grow room monitoring systems in the biz. Originally only selling products with THC, we are stoked that Fairwinds now has a CBD catalog available in all 50 states. However, we are a bit concerned about the CBD oil extraction method currently employed by this Washington brand.

Fairwinds CBD is a predominantly medical cannabis company led by former engineer James Hull. Utilizing his career experience, Mr. Hull designed the entire system monitoring Fairwind’s hemp grows, including equipment to check for humidity, temperature, light levels, CO2 ppm, and more.

The immense attention to detail is vital for growing the best cannabis, and Fairwinds leaves no stone unturned in the quest for best cultivation techniques. When it comes to hemp grow operation, this team takes the cake.

Fairwinds offers many cannabis products, such as capsules, functional drink mixes, tinctures, topicals, vape cartridges, pet products, and even suppositories (these are only available at licensed retail locations). We like many of the ingredients in their CBD: THC specialty formulation tinctures like CO2 extracted ginger and turmeric.

For the purposes of this review, we will only discuss the CBD products available in all 50 states at fairwindscbd.com. Each is formulated using a thoughtful combination of Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine. This is especially evident in the company’s potent CBD tinctures, each with a blend of essential oils and terpenes meant to synergistically target certain issues. Check out the goods:

• Deep Sleep CBD Tincture
• Digestify CBD Tincture
• Release CBD Tincture
• 0 THC CBD Tincture
• Full-spectrum CBD oil for pets
• Flow CBD Pain Relief Cream

What makes Fairwinds CBD products stand out from the fray are their insanely high concentrations of CBG. CBG is another beneficial cannabinoid, and we can’t think of another company out there with levels this high!

So, why does Fairwinds CBD not qualify for our Quality and Safety Badges?

While their hemp cultivation techniques are clean and innovative, Fairwinds CBD uses propane to extract their CBD oil. Propane is a noxious chemical we generally do not approve of for cannabidiol extraction. Plus, there is no residual solvents test available to prove there are no traces of the chemical in the final product, making the Safety Badge a no-go as well.

Bottom Line – Fairwinds CBD has some major clout when it comes to innovative hemp cultivation, and their CBD tinctures have some of the highest concentrations of CBG we’ve seen. We’d like to see them incorporate a different extraction method and provide more contaminants tests online to get a higher rating.
