Manufacturing Process
According to Green Roads web site, this is how their CBD processing works.
They start by using high quality hemp that is grown without pesticides or GMO’s. Then, they use CO2 extraction to extract the CBD from the hemp plant. This is said to be the best method of extraction leaving behind the purest isolates that are completely solvent free.
The CBD isolate is than formulated into Green Roads products by a licensed pharmacist. A high quality vegetable glycerin and hemp seed oil is used as a base for all their products.
The products then undergo lab testing and they are packaged into finished goods before they are shipped around the world.

Pros and Cons
Rather than create a list of pros and cons, we would like to start off by mentioning that there is a bit of controversy surrounding the Green Roads brand. There are a number of Reddit threads that question the band’s marketing strategies as well as its integrity.
One Reddit thread claims the band is too pricey and that they use marketing methods that are overly spammy. There are also complaints that the brand has not landed on the Reddit vetted list of reputable CBD sources. In our experience, we did notice that prices were rather high and became annoyed by constant pop ups that appeared at the bottom of the page while we were trying to research the site.
Other Reddit threads question Green Roads’ lab reports. As an interesting side note, be warned, just because a company includes lab reports on their web site, it does not mean they are a reputable company. Unfortunately, most do not know how to read lab reports to understand that there could be impure ingredients in products or that levels of certain ingredients may be too low or too high.
According to the Reddit threads, Green Roads products contain levels of heptane and ethanol that are over the legal limits and the use residual solvents. Others say that the reports do not show whether or not the products contain contaminants.
On a personal note, we disliked the fact that there wasn’t much of a company story on the web site explaining the background of the Green Roads brand. This left a very impersonal taste in our mouths, and a sense that the product wasn’t being backed by a caring human being.
On a positive note, the Reddit threads did have comments from some users who have taken their products and found them effective. Their web site is also easy to navigate and they feature a wide selection of products.
Conclusion
When it comes to buying CBD products, there are way too many fish in the sea to waste your time looking into purchasing from a company with questionable lab reports. Despite a handful of favorable reviews, I would keep shopping if I were you!
