5 Questions to Ask Before Buying THC Products

Not all THC products are created equal—here’s how to spot the difference.

With the market growing fast and new products popping up every week, it can be hard to know what’s actually safe, effective, and worth your money. Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned pro, these five questions will help you make smarter, more confident decisions.

1. Is it lab tested by a third party?

If a brand can’t show proof of third-party lab testing, walk away. Lab tests confirm the product’s potency, safety, and whether it's free of contaminants like pesticides, solvents, and heavy metals.

At High Rise, every product is rigorously tested and verified for quality, so you always know exactly what you’re getting.

2. Where is the hemp grown?

The source of the hemp matters. U.S.-grown hemp—especially from states like Colorado and others with strong agricultural standards—tends to be cleaner, safer, and more potent than imported alternatives.

High Rise uses only hemp grown in the U.S., sourced from trusted farms across states like Colorado, depending on seasonal supply and quality.

3. What kind of THC is in it?

Delta-8, Delta-9, THCP—different cannabinoids affect people differently. It’s important to know which type is in the product and at what potency. Legitimate brands will clearly label this.

If a product is vague or hard to understand? That’s a red flag.

4. Are the ingredients clean and clearly listed?

You should be able to read and recognize the ingredients. Look for natural flavors, minimal fillers, and no sketchy additives.

At High Rise, we keep our formulations clean and intentional. Every ingredient serves a purpose—and nothing unnecessary makes it in.

5. Is the brand transparent and reputable?

Can you find info about the company? Do they share lab results, product details, and have customer support? If not, think twice.

We built High Rise on transparency, consistency, and trust—so you never have to second-guess what you’re putting in your body.
