Happy Buddha Review

Written by Cathy Rozyczko — Edited by Jason Brett on February 9, 2021

Happy Buddha cultivates their hemp in North Fork Valley, Colorado, the region with the highest concentration of organic farms in the state. While it is unfortunate that there is no discussion of laboratory testing (which means no Certificates of Analysis), their extraction method could perhaps be one of the most forward-thinking process in the industry. It is easy to feel the love and passion that the founders of HappyBuddhaHemp.com put into their products, and as such we feel comfortable recommending them as a promising cannabinoid vendor.

The founders of Happy Buddha met while living on a naked hippie commune designed to orient individuals to grown their own food and live a sustainable lifestyle. This leads us to believe that Happy Buddha has their hearts in the right place – if not their commitment to organic, sustainable agriculture. They grow their hemp in North Fork Valley, Colorado – a region with the highest concentration of organic farms in the state (and 40 miles from the nearest traffic light!). Their water source is snowmelt from the nearby Rockies, and the air is pure, as the altitude in the town of Paonia is over one mile high.

Happy Buddha’s products range in price from $7 to $110, and include massage oils, tinctures, salves, beauty products, and adaptogenic hemp tea blends. To our dismay, no Certificates of Analysis (or discussion about laboratory testing) appear anyway on their site (www.happybuddhahemp.com). However, their revolutionary extraction method nearly compensates for this slip-up. Happy Buddha first uses ethanol to extract the terpenes, cannabinoids, and other compounds from the hemp, then takes this potent, full-spectrum CBD oil and combines it with the natural minerals and salts from the plant. They believe this allows the greatest potency and synergy to shine through in the final product.

Despite the lack of testing data, which would supply evidence that their (hopefully euphemistically-named) “alchemical” extraction process does what it claims, we find Happy Buddha to be a promising, refreshingly well-intentioned vendor in the emerging cannabinoid industry.
