Botanically hemp and cannabis (or marijuana) are the same thing.[1] They are both Cannabis sativa L. Historically, hemp has been used to describe cannabis when it is used for non-psychoactive consumption, or industrial uses such as rope, insulation, or clothing. Furthermore, overtime, unique genetics have been developed so that certain cannabis strains are more likely to produce cannabis that is good for hemp. Hemp, ultimately however, is a legal distinction.
In 2018, the United States Congress via the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (the “2018 Farm Bill”) defined hemp as “the plant Cannabis sativa L., and any part of that plant…and all derivatives, extracts…with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol [Delta-9 THC] concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.”[2]
This means hemp, legally, is cannabis that has less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC concentration on a dry weight basis. So long as the cannabis plant, or any cannabis product, has less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC it is hemp.
You can review the concentration of Delta-9 THC in Pharos products by reading the Certificate of Analysis for each product. The concentration is listed as a percent in a box near the center of the page labeled “Δ9 THC.”

If this is your first time consuming a cannabis beverage, we strongly recommend going slow. Start with one and drink it slowly. After an hour, you can consume more with a better understanding of how you are impacted by these beverages.
Personally, we love to use half a can as part of a cocktail. The lower strength creates a lighter experience and is perfect for sharing the other half with a special someone.
Once you are used to consuming Pharos beverages, it can be a great, hangover free, replacement for your evening glass of wine, or social drinking with friends.

Pharos products contain Delta-9 THC, the primary psychoactive cannabinoid. This means your experience consuming Pharos will be the same as consuming other cannabis products, with a few important differences:
On-set of effects
Unlike gummies which can take an hour to feel the effects, Pharos beverages will have an onset of effects within 15-20 minutes. This gives you the ability to better control your experience.
Length of experience
You will likely feel the effect of Pharos beverages for 2-3 hours maximum. Again, unlike gummies which can take 5-6 hours to wear-off, Pharos gives you better control over how long your experience will last.
Odor and smell
Unlike consuming flower, or raw cannabis, there is no odor or smell with Pharos products. The only taste is the refreshing fruit flavor, and there is no unpleasant after taste.

Federally, so long as the product contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC concentration by dry weight, it is legal. However, many states have taken steps to further limit and regulate the amount of Delta-9 THC permitted in a hemp product. This means sales of Pharos products may be prohibited in some jurisdictions by State law. Please review the laws in your jurisdiction if you are unsure. Also, please feel free to reach out to us if you have specific questions regarding legality in your jurisdiction.
