REVIEW

I am not a CBD Gummy connoisseur or seasoned user of CBD products. I’m simply sharing my experience with products from four sellers:

Hello Mood
Neurogan
Harbor City Hemp
Charlotte’s Web

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 a number of natural compounds, called cannabidiols (CBD), which are known to bestow health benefits. The oil also contains a small amount (less than 0.3%) of THC, a psychoactive and generally illegal compound. 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.

HELLO MOOD

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

Each gummy contained the following:

15 mg of Delta-9 THC
15 mg of CBD, a cannabidiol that helps with inflammation
15 mg of CBN, a cannabidiol that helps induce sleep
0.5 mg of Melatonin

Cost: $65.00 for a 30-day supply

I decided to give them a try and initially ordered a 10 count. There were no ordering or shipping issues. The gummies arrived in a resealable bag. They were irregular, hand-cut, cubes. 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. Since, 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 more than likely made me susceptible to the rash and infection. I began searching online for CBD Gummies that don’t have THC. Unfortunately, I came up empty-handed and chose to stop looking for awhile.

In October 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 again.

NEUROGAN

Neurogan was advertising a THC-free CBD + CBN Gummy, that helps with sleep, as well as a THC-free CBD Gummy. So, I figured I’d try the THC-free CBD Gummy as well because I had some daytime aches and pains.

Each CBD + CBN Gummy contained the following:

45 mg of CBD
45 mg of CBN

Cost: $75.00 for a 30-day supply

Each CBD Gummy contained the following:

120 mg of CBD

Cost: $65.00 for a 30-day supply

On October 2, 2025, I ordered both gummies. There were no ordering issues. But the gummies were shipped in an envelope that had images of hemp leaves on it. Not surprising, the shipping envelope arrived ripped open. Thankfully the gummies were still there and their packaging intact. Packaged in heavy glass bottles, the gummies were perfect cubes. They had a watermelon & mixed berry flavor, and a bitter medicinal taste.

When I tried the THC-free CBD + CBN Gummies, the effect was very subtle. I just drifted off to sleep. It felt very natural and I achieved a deep, satisfying sleep. There were no rashes or infections. When I tried the THC-free CBD Gummies, I was also surprised. Daytime aches and pains just melted away, my menopause symptoms and my Candidiasis issues also lessened significantly. I was impressed.

I began ordering monthly. Thankfully, there were no problems with product consistency with subsequent orders. I learned to tolerate the gummies’ medicinal taste and was able to request plain unbranded shipping packaging to avoid shipping piracy. And when the weight of the glass bottles proved to be an problem for my weak hands, I simply put the gummies into lighter plastic bottles. Easy Peasy.

I was a steadfast customer for several months. And then, In May 2026, Neurogan’s THC-free CBD gummies were out of stock. I was given no estimate as to when they might be back, so I kept checking the Neurogan site and finally saw that they were back in stock – roughly two months later. I ordered three bottles immediately, to stock up. Unfortunately, I didn’t get what I ordered.

After they arrived, I was so eager to get the gummies in my system, that I popped a couple in my mouth before noticing that the gummies I received were not THC-free. This resulted in me breaking out in another painful Candidiasis rash. Neurogan’s customer service responded to my emailed complaints with stone cold silence for 5 days and then called to tell me that the gummies they sent me were THC-free.

No….the gummies they sent were not THC-free. No where on the bottles’ labels was “THC-free” The fact they tried to bullshit me pissed me off the most. It would be understandable if they accidentally sent the wrong product…..but to lie to me like they did….

I don’t care if their products are wonderful….their customer service is not. I’m done with Neurogan.

HARBOR CITY HEMP

Harbor City Hemp was advertising THC-free CBD gummies.

Each THC-free CBD Gummy contained the following:

50 mg of CBD

Cost: $20.00 for a 25-day supply

On December 7, 2025, 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 super sweet, their tropical flavor was meh. When I tried them, I was not impressed. I tried one and broke out in another Candidiasis rash almost immediately. Needless to say, I won’t be ordering from them again.

CHARLOTTE’S WEB

Charlotte’s Web was advestising a THC-free CBD Gummy for daily care.

Each THC-free CBD Gummy contained the following:

25 mg of CBD

Cost: $74.99 for a 60-day supply

On May 16, 2026, I ordered the 60-day supply. There were no problems ordering or shipping. Unfortunately, the plastic jar the gummies arrived in was too big for me to open with my weak hands. So, I had to get help transferring them into a smaller plastic container I could handle on my own. The gummies were firm, perfect cubes. They had a barely sweet Mango & Peach flavor and like the Neurogan gummies they also had that slight medicinal taste to them.

Unfortunately, the Charlotte’s Web gummies were almost twice the size of the Neurogan gummies and considering each one had a fraction of the CBD oil contained in the Neurogan ones, I had to ingest 4 or 5 of them to receive the same amount of CBD oil as in one Neurogan gummy. That means I ingested a lot of gelatin and these gummies were not exactly supper yummy. The taste was ok, but having to ingest 4 or 5 of them to get the relief I need, quickly became a bit of a chore. My jaw also got quite a workout. I won’t be ordering more.

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’ve also learned to be more mindful when I’m being loaded into a vehicle. I’m giving them four stars.
