Can Canna River’s online quiz help us find our ideal hemp product? We find out.

Life’s complicated. Finding the right hemp products shouldn’t be.

The hemp and CBD market has grown rapidly in recent years and for consumers, that’s both a blessing and a brain teaser. More brands and product types mean more choices than ever, and that can make the search for the right products feel like wading through a sea of tinctures, gummies, and buzzwords. With so much choice, even seasoned users can end up asking: Where do I start?

That’s where Canna River comes in. Founded in California in 2018, the family-run wellness brand was born out of frustration with an industry that can too often force consumers to choose between overpriced products and unreliable ones.

Their approach was refreshingly simple: focus on quality, transparency, and accessibility.

They’ve built a reputation for rigorous third-party testing to ensure purity and potency, publishing Certificates of Analysis (COAs) for every batch to keep transparency front and center.  And, rather than following the industry’s trend of modest concentrations and inflated costs, Canna River debuted with high-strength tinctures offered at down-to-earth prices.

So many ways to unwind

Since those early days, the company has expanded their line-up from tinctures to a full suite of hemp-derived offerings:

GummiesFor a more flavorful approach, Canna River’s gummies blend broad- and full-spectrum hemp extracts with natural fruit flavors. Formulated to support calm, sleep, or daily balance, they’re clearly labeled, third-party tested, and designed to deliver a consistent, reliable experience— every time.

SoftgelsCanna River softgels are as easy as taking a vitamin. Available in formulas for wellness, relaxation, relief, or sleep, each capsule delivers a pre-measured dose, which makes them an effortless way to get predictable results without the dropper, the sugar, or the guesswork.

VapesFor fast-acting relief, Canna River’s collection of disposable vapes and cartridges includes a variety of cannabinoid options. Find a CBD-dominant range as well as strain-specific delta-8 and HHC options that each offer their own distinct experience and smooth, natural flavors. They’re perfect for moments when you need calm or focus on demand.

TincturesThese liquid extracts deliver precise, flexible dosing. Take them under the tongue for a fast onset or stir into your morning smoothie for a more gradual buildup of effects. With a range of potencies and cannabinoid blends, they’re a favourite for anyone who likes to fine-tune their experience.

TopicalsCanna River’s topicals offer a more targeted approach by delivering cannabinoids directly to sore muscles, joints, or skin without affecting the rest of your system. Think of it like self-care that actually hits the spot, literally.

Can a quiz really guide you to the perfect hemp products?

With so many options, finding the right hemp product can feel overwhelming, but Canna River takes the guesswork out of the equation. The site lets you filter options by product type or desired effect, while its interactive quiz offers a personalized way to zero in on the right fit. Naturally, we had to try it ourselves.

The quiz starts with the big question: “What’s the main reason you’re exploring CBD or THC products?” Am I looking for sleep, stress relief, pain management, general wellness, or a little buzz? The answer is intended to narrow the field to products formulated to deliver the intended effects.

Next up: “How do you prefer to feel throughout the day?” Choices range from “focused but productive” to “totally chilled out.” It’s a question designed to determine not just which cannabinoids to use, but the right dosing and timing so the products fit seamlessly into your daily routine.

After assessing that we’re okay with THC, the quiz then asks about our THC tolerance level. Are we new to THC, somewhere in the middle, or a seasoned consumer? That way, your recommendations land in the sweet spot—not too mellow to feel, and not too strong to knock you off your game.

Finally, the quiz checks for preferred consumption method: gummies, tinctures, vapes, or topicals? This matters because each format affects how fast the product works and how it fits into your life. Gummies and softgels are convenient and measured, tinctures allow for flexible dosing, vapes act almost instantly, and topicals offer targeted relief.

The whole process is simple and surprisingly fun. It’s giving BuzzFeed circa 2012 energy, when quizzes like “What city should you really live in?” or “Which Friends character are you?” ruled your feed, except with a practical payoff: real recommendations tailored to how you want to feel.

The results are in

Here’s what we dropped in: our writer was looking for stress relief, wanted to feel relaxed but functional, and had a moderate tolerance for THC. With those unique inputs, Canna River’s quiz recommended we check out their CBD Calm Softgels, D-9 gummies, and a D-8 disposable vape. From there, a preference for edible formats and an affinity for all things Blue Razz made this shopping spree especially easy.

By breaking the process into simple, approachable steps, the quiz has shepherded us towards products that are suited for our routine, tolerance levels, and individual preferences.
