What Is Five and How Did Medterra's Co-Founder Build an Irvine California Hemp Brand Around Full-Spectrum THC?
Five is a hemp edibles brand based in Irvine, California, founded in 2020 by John Larsen — the same John Larsen who co-founded Medterra, one of the largest CBD brands in the United States by retail distribution. Five is not a food brand, a lifestyle brand or a wellness supplement company — it is a hemp-derived Delta-9 THC edible brand, building dispensary-style full-spectrum hemp gummies for adult recreational use. The brand name refers to the 5:1 ratio of CBD to minor hemp cannabinoids that Five commits to across every product it makes.
That founding lineage gives Five a specific operational advantage. Building Medterra required solving the hard problems of full-spectrum hemp formulation at commercial scale: how to maintain cannabinoid ratios across production batches when full-spectrum extract has more variables than isolate, how to preserve terpene integrity through extraction and formulation, how to verify label accuracy through independent testing. Five launched with those systems already in place. The brand describes its mission in its own words as "delivering reliable relief, chill vibes, and moments of joy" through hemp-derived Delta-9 products that feel "as accessible as a trip to the dispensary."
What Are Five Daily Buzz Gummies — 5mg Delta-9, 25mg CBD and Four Flavors in a 20-Count Jar?
Five Daily Buzz Gummies are the everyday low-dose THC edible in the Five lineup at ProCannabis: 20 gummies per jar, each carrying 5mg of hemp-derived Delta-9 THC and 25mg of CBD alongside minor cannabinoids in Five's full-spectrum extract. The jar totals 100mg of Delta-9 THC and 500mg of CBD. At 5mg Delta-9 per piece, Daily Buzz is the accessible entry point — enough to produce the recreational Delta-9 effect, appropriate for buyers new to hemp edibles and calibratable for experienced buyers who prefer a controlled consistent dose.
The 25mg CBD per gummy is the formula's defining characteristic. At five times the Delta-9 amount, CBD is the dominant cannabinoid per piece. Research documents that CBD at meaningful concentrations relative to THC modulates the psychoactive experience — reducing THC-associated anxiety and smoothing the effect curve versus Delta-9 consumed without CBD. Five's buyers describe Daily Buzz as a "smoother, more balanced" hemp edible than Delta-9-only gummies at the same milligram count. Four flavors in the variety jar: Blue Razz, Redberry, Lemon and Orange. Vegan, non-GMO, no artificial colors or flavors.

What Are Five Sour Buzz Gummies — Same Full-Spectrum Formula as Daily Buzz With Sour Fruit Flavors?
Five Sour Buzz Gummies carry the identical cannabinoid formula as Daily Buzz in every dimension: 5mg Delta-9 THC, 25mg CBD, minor cannabinoids at the 5:1 ratio, full-spectrum hemp extract, 20 gummies per jar, 100mg Delta-9 and 500mg CBD total, vegan, non-GMO, no artificial colors or flavors. The only difference is flavor treatment. Sour Buzz delivers the same four profiles — Blue Razz, Redberry, Lemon, Orange — in sour versions, adding tartness to each. Same CBD and THC gummy formula, different taste character.
Five describes Sour Buzz as "the same full-spectrum benefits as Daily Buzz, just with a tart, flavor-packed punch." The buyer decision between the two ProCannabis products is a flavor preference only — no trade-off in potency, dose or cannabinoid profile. Buyers who prefer the sweet-tart contrast of sour candy over standard sweet fruit choose Sour Buzz. Buyers who prefer clean straightforward fruit flavors choose Daily Buzz. Both are appropriate as first hemp edibles at 5mg Delta-9 per piece, and both can be halved for buyers starting below the 5mg threshold.
What Does the Five 5-to-1 CBD-to-Minor-Cannabinoid Formula Mean and Why Is Full-Spectrum Different From Isolate?
Five's 5:1 ratio describes the relationship between CBD and other minor hemp cannabinoids in every product — not the ratio of CBD to Delta-9 THC. For every five parts of CBD, one part is minor cannabinoids: CBN, CBG, CBC and other hemp-derived compounds in the full-spectrum extract. The Delta-9 THC is separate, sitting on top of this CBD-plus- minor-cannabinoid base. In a Daily Buzz or Sour Buzz gummy: 25mg CBD, minor cannabinoids at the 5:1 ratio, and 5mg Delta-9 THC — all from full-spectrum hemp extract.
Full-spectrum versus isolate is a meaningful distinction that Five's formula is built around. CBD isolate is pure CBD with all other plant compounds removed — a single-molecule product. Full-spectrum hemp extract retains the cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids beyond CBD: CBN, associated in hemp research with relaxation and sleep-adjacent effects. CBG — the biosynthetic precursor cannabinoid — studied for focus-supporting properties and CB1 and CB2 receptor interaction. CBC — documented in published cannabinoid research for its own receptor interactions alongside other cannabinoids. Terpenes including myrcene, limonene and linalool contributing receptor interactions no isolate product can replicate.
