Metta Hemp

What Is Metta Hemp and Why Did a Denver Brand Build Around Low-THC Full-Spectrum Cannabis?

Metta Hemp was founded in late 2017 in Denver, Colorado by a founder who had watched the legal cannabis market evolve in a direction that concerned him: THC concentrations had climbed steadily for years across cultivated cannabis, while the overall benefit profile many consumers experienced was declining. The founding thesis was that lower-THC, full-spectrum cannabis — preserving the complete array of cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids rather than maximising a single compound — provides better outcomes for most users than high-THC isolated products. That thesis became the brand's permanent operating position, not a marketing angle.

"Metta" is a Pali Buddhist term meaning lovingkindness — a name that reflects the wellness and intentionality the brand built itself around from day one. The brand now operates from Littleton, Colorado. It sources exclusively from local Colorado hemp farmers using organic growing methods. All flower is hand-trimmed — full buds, not trim or shake, which matters for trichome density, smoke character and cannabinoid concentration. Pre-rolls use 100% biodegradable hemp paper and biodegradable joint tubes. Every batch is tested by a state-licensed Colorado third-party lab covering cannabinoid potency, terpene profile, pesticide residues, heavy metals and residual solvents — a broader panel than minimum Farm Bill compliance requires. Metta Hemp has expanded from its original pre-roll focus into vapes, gummies and concentrates at mettahemp.com while maintaining the low-THC full-spectrum philosophy across every format.

What Are the Metta Hemp CBD, CBG, CBN and CBDV Pre-Rolls — and What Does Each Cannabinoid Do?

Metta Hemp's smokable lineup covers four distinct cannabinoids, each with a documented botanical profile and a different use case. This is not one brand name applied to the same CBD pre-roll in different packaging — it is four genuinely different cannabinoid formats built for different times of day and buyer needs.

CBD Pre-Roll 1g — Super Lemon Haze (Sativa) and Hindu Kush (Indica): Cannabidiol is the most studied non-psychoactive cannabinoid in hemp, documented for interaction with CB1 and CB2 receptors and associated in the research literature with anxiolytic, anti-inflammatory and sleep-modulating properties. Metta Hemp offers the 1g CBD Pre-Roll in two strain options: Super Lemon Haze is a Sativa with bright citrus and lemon-peel terpenes suited to daytime clarity; Hindu Kush is a pure Indica with pine, earth and spice terpenes suited to evening ease. Full-spectrum, lab tested per batch. The CBD-Infused Mini Joints 5-Pack is the same cannabinoid in a half-gram per joint format — five shorter sessions from a single purchase for buyers who want multiple occasions rather than one full gram sitting. Browse every CBD and CBG hemp pre-roll at ProCannabis for the full Metta Hemp pre-roll range.

CBG Hemp Pre-Roll 1g — The White (Hybrid), Zero THC: Cannabigerol is the biosynthetic precursor from which all other major cannabinoids form during the plant's growth cycle — CBGA (cannabigerolic acid) converts to CBDA, THCA and CBCA through enzyme action, which is why CBG is sometimes called the "mother cannabinoid." CBG itself is non-psychoactive. Published research documents CBG as having higher direct CB1 and CB2 receptor binding affinity than CBD — which acts more through indirect modulation — alongside a distinct research profile covering potential neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Metta Hemp's CBG Pre-Roll uses The White strain — a hybrid known for its exceptional crystalline trichome coverage and clean, neutral flavour profile — in a Zero THC formulation for buyers who want CBG-specific cannabinoid delivery without any detectable THC.

CBDV Pre-Roll 1g — Jack Herer (Sativa): Cannabidivarin is a propyl homolog of CBD — the same molecular structure as CBD but with a shorter three-carbon side chain instead of five. CBDV is currently under active clinical investigation for neurological applications; published clinical trial data covers potential anticonvulsant properties in particular. The compound interacts differently with the endocannabinoid system than CBD does, with its own receptor activity profile distinct from its structural similarity to CBD. Metta Hemp pairs CBDV with Jack Herer — the legendary Sativa strain named after the cannabis activist and author, known for spicy pine and earthy terpenes with an uplifting, clear cerebral expression. The CBDV Pre-Roll is Metta Hemp's most daytime-forward, energetic smokable format in the lineup.

CBN Infused Nighttime Mini Joints 5-Pack — Grease Monkey (Indica): Cannabinol forms naturally as Delta-9 THC ages and oxidises — it is not biosynthesised directly in the plant but rather develops as THC degrades, which historically meant high-CBN cannabis was older material. CBN is the cannabinoid most consistently associated with sedative and sleep-adjacent effects in the research literature. Metta Hemp saturates Grease Monkey Indica flower with concentrated CBN distillate before rolling — a deliberately high CBN load per joint above what any naturally CBN-dominant strain would deliver. Grease Monkey is an Indica-dominant hybrid with heavy myrcene-forward terpenes, earthy and pungent, that complement the nighttime positioning of the CBN infusion. These are Metta Hemp's 2024 Rooster THC Classic winners.

What Makes the Metta Hemp CBN Nighttime Mini Joints Different — and What Is Their Rooster THC Classic Record?

The Metta Hemp CBN Infused Nighttime Mini Joints won 1st Place in the Hemp-Derived CBD category at the 2024 Rooster THC Classic — the outright category winner, not a top-three placement. The Rooster THC Classic is Colorado's largest blind-judging cannabis and hemp competition, held annually in Denver. Every entry is repackaged without labels or branding before reaching the judging panel — the product wins entirely on quality with no brand recognition advantage possible. A 1st Place result in the Hemp-Derived CBD category means Metta Hemp's CBN Mini Joints were judged best in class against all competing hemp pre-roll submissions in 2024.

Metta Hemp returned to the Rooster in 2025 and placed again — 2nd Place in the CBD & Hemp category at the 2025 Rooster THC Classic with their THCV Energy Rosin Gummies. That makes Metta Hemp one of the only hemp brands to place at the Rooster in consecutive years across two different product categories: 2024 pre-rolls (1st Place) and 2025 gummies (2nd Place). The brand also won 3rd Place at the 2022 Rooster with their CBD Sauce and Diamonds concentrate. Three Rooster placements across 2022, 2024 and 2025 — concentrates, pre-rolls and gummies — is a multi-format, multi-year track record no competing brand in the ProCannabis catalog has matched at this competition.

The 5-pack, half-gram-per-joint format is a deliberate design decision for nighttime use: most buyers using hemp for sleep support do not want or need a full gram before bed. Five pre-rolled 0.5g joints mean no preparation when already winding down, and multiple sessions from a single purchase. The CBN distillate infusion sets these apart from standard CBN-strain flower — the distillate adds a concentrated CBN load above what natural CBN-dominant cultivars deliver at the same flower weight.

What Is the Metta Hemp Hemp Flower 7g and How Does CBD Hemp Flower Differ From THCa Flower?

The Metta Hemp Hemp Flower 7g is outdoor-grown loose bud for buyers who prefer to grind and roll their own hemp. Full buds — not trim or shake. This distinction matters: trim and shake are the leaf and stem material removed during processing, which carry significantly fewer trichomes than the bud itself. Trichomes are where cannabinoids and terpenes concentrate — full bud delivers a more complete cannabinoid and terpene profile per gram than trim-based flower. Metta Hemp explicitly uses full buds across both their flower and pre-roll formats.

The primary cannabinoid is CBD — not THCa. In 2026 this distinction is critical because THCa flower dominates the hemp market and many buyers conflate the two. CBD hemp flower and THCa hemp flower are fundamentally different. THCa hemp flower contains high tetrahydrocannabinolic acid that converts to Delta-9 THC through decarboxylation when smoked — producing a full-strength psychoactive cannabis experience equivalent to licensed dispensary marijuana in effect profile. Metta Hemp's CBD flower contains minimal THCa and does not produce meaningful Delta-9 THC levels when smoked. The active compound is CBD, interacting with endocannabinoid receptors without the psychoactive pathway of THC. For buyers who want the ritual of smoking hemp without THCa intoxication, this is the product. For buyers who want the cannabis-equivalent experience, THCa flower from other ProCannabis brands is the right format.
