Jade Nectar

Jade Nectar Philosophy

We feel the cannabis plant has the potential to be as medically significant as penicillin in the world of health care. If the cannabis plant had just recently been discovered deep in the rain forest, it would be heralded as the new super plant that could be used in therapies to address a vast array of ailments including: epilepsy, migraines, insomnia, anxiety, depression, autoimmune disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, Lyme disease, arthritis, chronic pain, cancer, and more. Don’t take our word for it, read the US patent that is held by the US Department of Health and Human Services. Decades of misguided propaganda about the evils of cannabis have created a stigma around cannabis that will take many years to unwind. Jade Nectar hopes to be part of the process of reacquainting our culture with all of the beneficial opportunities that cannabis has to offer. ‘Lucifer’s lettuce’ may turn out to be a plant that blesses and benefits many peoples’ lives and well-being.

Cannabis Wellness Formulas do Not Need to Be Psychoactive

Many people don't realize that cannabis can be consumed in ways that avoid causing psychoactive effects. Cannabis only becomes psychoactive when THC is heated. (That is why people smoke cannabis or cook with it. The fire or cooking heat activates the THC into its psychoactive form). But, if the THC in the cannabis material is never heated to the point of ‘activation’, the THC will remain in its raw form, THCa, which is not considered psychoactive. Many scientific studies have concluded that THCa (raw) offers many health benefits while also avoiding the psychoactive effects.

CBD, another compound found in some cannabis plants, remains non-psychoactive whether you heat it or not.

We have created many raw cannabis formulas and CBD rich formulas that can provide wellness benefits while also avoiding the psychoactive effects of heated THC. NOTE: Jade Nectar is not opposed to the psychoactive effects of THC, but many people who need relief from an ailment would prefer to not be 'stoned' 24 hours a day to get that relief. There is an appropriate time for everything :)

Whole Plant Cannabis Formulas - Cannabis is Food!

Jade Nectar started as medical cannabis collective a number of years ago in Santa Cruz, California. We focused primarily on the health benefits of consuming raw cannabis juice. There is no cannabis formula that is more ‘whole plant’ than actually consuming our Jade Nectar unfiltered cannabis juice puree that is made from pureed whole cannabis leaves and flowers! We now hold multiple US patents for our fresh and frozen cannabis puree methods that allow people to conveniently consume whole plant cannabis anytime of year. Our Jade Nectar frozen cannabis puree cubes provide shelf-life and ease-of-use for our customers, so people can simply throw a Jade Nectar frozen cube into their favorite smoothie every day!
