REVIEW

I am not a CBD gummy connoisseur or seasoned user of CBD products. I’m simply sharing my experience with products from three sellers: Hello Mood, Neurogan, and Harbor City Hemp. Note. I don’t do paid endorsements.

Now, CBD gummies are gummies infused with oil, extracted from hemp. The oil, known as CBD oil, contains natural compounds called cannabinoids, which are known to bestow health benefits. The oil also contains a small amount (less than 0.3%) of THC, a psychoactive cannabinoid. Since the legal limit for THC is O.3%, these gummies are completely legal.

In 2023,, I started investigating CBD gummies to help with sleep issues. That’s when I found Hello Mood.

HELLO MOOD

Hello Mood was advertising a CBD gummy called Sleepytime Delta-9 THC.

Each gummy contains:

15 mg of Delta-9 THC
15 mg of CBD, a cannabinoid that helps with pain and anxiety
15 mg of CBN, a cannabinoid that helps induce sleep
0.5 mg of Melatonin

Cost: $65.00 for a 30-day supply

After some research, I decided to give them a try. I initially ordered a 10 count. There were no ordering or shipping issues. The gummies arrived in a resealable bag. They were irregular cubes, indicating they were hand cut. The flavor and color were so unremarkable, I can barely remember them. When I tried the gummies, I was pleasantly surprised. A single gummy got me to sleep quickly and soundly. I achieved a very deep sleep and woke up feeling refreshed. My first time ingesting THC, I was surprised by the cute case of the giggles I experienced. There were no obvious issues, so I decided to order more.

Unfortunately, I had problems with subsequent orders. I received an order of gummies one month that were overly strong. When I tried them, I felt drugged. I also developed a very large painful Candidiasis rash. I stopped taking the gummies immediately and contacted the company, but they were not overly concerned. After the rash cleared up, I tried a new order of gummies, one that appeared to be normal strength. Unfortunately, the rash came back, stronger and bigger, along with a bad urinary tract infection. I stopped taking the gummies and stopped doing business with Hello Mood. I no longer trust their products.

The company has since rebranded and are now called ‘Mood’. For me, that’s a big red flag.

After my experience with Hello Mood, I did some research and discovered that THC can weaken the immune system, which could have easily made me susceptible to the rash and infection. I began searching online for CBD gummies that don’t have THC. However, I came up empty-handed.

In 2025, my sleep issues reached a fevered pitch again. This time nightly aches and pains were a big contributing factor. So, I searched again for CBD gummies without THC and thankfully found Neurogan.

NEUROGAN

Neurogan was advertising two types of THC-free gummies: CBD + CBN and CBD.

Each CBD + CBN gummy contains:

45 mg of CBD
45 mg of CBN

Cost: $75.00 for a 30-day supply

Each CBD gummy contains:

120 mg of CBD

Cost: $70.00 for a 30-day supply

With my daytime aches becoming as bad as my nighttime ones, I decided to give them both a try. There were no ordering issues. Unfortunately, they were shipped in an envelope that had images of hemp leaves on it. The shipping envelope arrived ripped open, but thankfully the gummies were still there and their individual packaging intact. Packaged in very heavy glass bottles, the gummies were perfect cubes. Unfortunately, their watermelon & mixed berry flavor was slightly overshadowed by a bitter medicinal taste. The medicinal taste is just strong enough to remind you that these gummies are not candy.

When I tried the gummies, the effects were very subtle. With the CBD + CBN gummy, I just drifted off to sleep. It felt very natural and I achieved a deep, satisfying sleep. I also discovered that if I decided, after taking a gummy, that I don’t want to fall asleep that I can easily shake off the sleepiness with a little will power and a cup of coffee. Now the CBD gummy reduced my aches and pains so smoothly, I barely noticed it happening. It even calmed down my menopause symptoms. There were no rashes or infections with either gummy, or problems with product consistency with subsequent orders either.

I’ll admit the monthly cost, roughly $140.00, for both gummies has forced me to tighten my belt. Luckily, they have sales and special offers. The other issues have been manageable, as well. I can easily tolerate the gummies’ medicinal taste and was able to request plain unbranded shipping packaging to avoid shipping piracy. The weight of the glass bottles proved to be an problem for my weak hands, so I simply put the gummies into lighter plastic bottles. Easy Peasy.

Despite falling in love with these gummies, I felt I needed a back-up. Just in case things went south with Neurogan. So, I continued searching for suppliers of THC-free CBD gummies and found Harbor City Hemp.

HARBOR CITY HEMP

Harbor City Hemp was advertising THC-free CBD gummies.

Each THC-free CBD gummy contains:

50 mg of CBD

Cost: $20.00 for a 25-day supply

I ordered a 10 count. There were no ordering issues, but shipping was slow. The company’s warehouse was one county away from mine, and yet I had to wait roughly a week to receive the order. The gummies arrived in a plastic bottle. They were large, irregular, and very squishy. Though sweet, their tropical flavor was meh. When I tried them, I was not impressed. Pain relief was negligible, which considering their strength was to be expected. and I broke out in another Candidiasis rash. Needless to say, I won’t be ordering from them again.

CURRENT STATUS

I’m still ordering gummies from Neurogan and I’m on the look out for other sellers of THC-free gummies. I’ll provide updates when anything new pops up.

I hope the information I’ve shared here is helpful.

Stellar Transport is a non-emergency medical transportation service based in Melbourne, Florida. I had the opportunity to use Stellar Transport on November 19, 2025, and the experience prompted me to write this review. Note. I don’t do paid endorsements.

A paraplegic and power chair user since 2011, I am a seasoned passenger when it comes to wheelchair-accessible transportation (ie. vans, buses, subways, and trains). Basically, this was not my first rodeo.

The trip was from home to a doctor’s appointment.

Mileage (Roundtrip): 13.06 miles
Cost: $127.44

The driver arrived on time in a wheelchair-accessible van, equipped with a ramp at the rear. The driver was courteous and professional, though he did not offer his name. I had to ask him for it. The inside of the van was cluttered with gear and equipment, including a loose oxygen tank lying on the floor. The driver had to remove a transport chair to create room for me and after I rolled into the van, he crammed the transport chair behind me. I was so distracted by the clutter wedged around me, and thoughts of my pending appointment, that I failed to notice that the driver had not properly anchored my power chair.

He asked if i was seat belted into my chair. I said I was. He then closed the back door and got into the driver’s seat. After pulling up the address of my appointment on this tablet, the driver headed out. Halfway to our destination, the driver suddenly slammed on the gas and made a hard right. The force was great enough to actually tip my 350 lb. power chair to the left and I was slammed hard into it’s armrest. I cried out as pain enveloped my left knee and hip. The driver quicky pulled to a stop by the side of the road and looked back at me. The chair had already tilted back, righting itself, and I was gasping in pain.

I cried out that I was stuck. I had been thrown over the armrest, unable to right myself. The driver got out and opened the left side door to help me straighten up. Once sitting properly in my chair again, the pain in my hip and knee started to subside. The loose oxygen tank on the floor, however, was now wedged under my chair’s right foot plate. The driver kept asking what happened and I told him that my chair had tilted over. He looked at me like he didn’t believe me. Never once did he apologize. The driver then directed me out of the van, so he could properly anchor the chair. We then continued on to my appointment.

Our arrival at the office plaza was uneventful and after escorting me to the doctor’s office, the driver left. As I sat in the waiting room, I checked myself for injuries. I couldn’t find any. After my appointment, I called Stellar to tell them I was ready for my return trip. Another driver arrived promptly with a much larger van. He was also courteous and professional, and also didn’t offer his name. I still asked for it. The vehicle had a lift. The driver had no problem operating the lift and getting me in the vehicle. Unfortunately, this vehicle too was cluttered with random equipment. Stuff was everywhere. I barely had room to turn.

At least three loose oxygen tanks were lying on the floor. Any one of the loose pieces of equipment in that van could become a deadly projectile in an accident. This type of clutter is not safe. The driver properly anchored my chair, put a shoulder strap seat belt on me, and then we headed out. The drive home was uneventful and so was disembarking, as it should be. After returning home, I called Stellar to lodge a complaint. I received an apology, a full refund, and was assured their drivers would undergo additional safety training. I may be a rough-and-tumble Jersey Girl, but this accident really shook me. I was not happy.

Since then, I’ve had two more roundtrip rides. The vans are no longer cluttered, my chair was properly anchored, and the drivers were still pleasant. Unfortunately, there was one little snafu. While waiting for one of the return rides, I was ‘forgotten’ and left waiting an hour and a half to be picked up. Management was appropriately apologetic and reimbursed me for the return ride.

CURRENT STATUS

I’m going to keep using Stellar Transport for my non-emergency medical transportation. Nobody’s perfect and Stellar has proven that when things go sideways (quite literally in my case) that they will step up and do the right thing.. I’m giving them four stars.
