FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything people ask us about full-spectrum edibles, how we make Pier9, and how ordering works.
The product
What does "full-spectrum" mean?
It means the oil keeps everything the plant naturally makes: THC plus the plant's other cannabinoids and its terpenes, the compounds behind its smell and flavor. Nothing is stripped out. Ours is made by infusing our own flower and hash, whole, into MCT oil.
What's the difference between full-spectrum and distillate?
Distillate is cannabis that has been refined down to almost pure THC. It's cheap, flavorless and easy to dose, which is why most edibles use it. The trade-off is that nearly everything else the plant makes gets removed along the way. Full-spectrum keeps those other cannabinoids and terpenes in.
Why do you use full-spectrum instead of distillate?
Because we'd rather start with the whole plant than a refined extract. A lot of people describe full-spectrum edibles as feeling fuller and more rounded than distillate, and the plant's terpenes come along for the ride. Scientists are still studying how much those other compounds change the experience (often called the "entourage effect"), and the research is early, so we won't oversell it. What we can promise is what's in the tin: our own flower and hash, not a bought-in distillate.
What is hash?
Hash is the concentrated, resin-rich part of the cannabis plant: the tiny crystal-like glands on the flower that hold most of its cannabinoids and terpenes. We make ours from our own flower, separating it without chemicals, then infuse it together with the flower.
What's in each tin?
10 pieces at 10mg of hemp-derived Delta-9 THC each, 100mg per tin. Made with cane sugar and colored with fruit and vegetable juice. The full ingredient list is on each product page.
Are Pier9 gummies vegan?
No. Our gummies are made with gelatin, so they aren't vegan or vegetarian.
How should I store them?
Keep the tin closed, somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sun and heat. Like any gummy, they can soften or stick together if they get warm. Always store them out of reach of children and pets.
Effects
Will I actually feel it?
Yes. This is real Delta-9 THC, the same compound you'd find at a dispensary, derived from hemp.
How long does it take to kick in?
Edibles are slower than smoking. It usually takes 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on your body and what you've eaten. Give it time before taking more.
How long does it last?
Edible effects usually last several hours, longer than smoking. Plan your day accordingly and don't drive or operate machinery after use.
Will it show up on a drug test?
It can. Our products contain Delta-9 THC, which can cause a positive result. If you get drug tested, skip them.
Can I take them with medication, or while pregnant or nursing?
Talk to your doctor first if you take any medication or have a health condition. Don't use our products if you're pregnant or nursing.
Quality and lab testing
Are your products lab tested?
Every batch goes to an accredited third-party lab before it ships, and the results are posted for anyone to see on our Lab Results page.
Who makes Pier9?
We do. Pier9 is a small edible company run by a grower. We grow the flower, make the hash and oil, and make the candy ourselves in small batches. See how it's made.
Ordering and shipping
Is this legal? Do you ship to my state?
Pier9 is hemp-derived and made to the 2018 Farm Bill limit of 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. Hemp laws vary by state and are changing, and we only ship to states where these products are allowed. Please check your local laws before ordering.
Do I have to be 21?
Yes. You must be 21 or older to buy, and an adult signature may be required at delivery.
How much is shipping and how long does it take?
Shipping is free on every order. Orders are processed in 1–3 business days and usually arrive 3–7 business days after that via USPS or UPS. You'll get a tracking number by email. Shipping policy
Can I return my order?
Because these are edible products, we can't take back opened tins. Unopened tins can be returned within 14 days of delivery, and if anything arrives damaged or wrong, email us within 7 days with a photo and we'll make it right. Refund policy
Do you sell to stores?
Yes. Shops can order 24-tin cases with a counter display, no application needed. See wholesale pricing.
