Meet River Botanicals, the new, expanded Canna River

Big news for wellness enthusiasts: Canna River, the family-run brand that’s spent years earning trust one tincture at a time, is becoming River Botanicals.

Same team. Same accessible price points. Same strict quality controls. Just a new name that gives the nearly decade-old company room to grow as it expands into a wider world of botanicals.

How it all started: Family-owned, Oregon-grown

Founded in California in 2018, Canna River was started by two brothers who were determined to cut through the hemp industry hype. By sourcing non-GMO hemp from trusted Oregon growers, they challenged over-the-top claims and inflated prices with a range of straightforward, well-made products people could actually rely on.

Today, that original ethos endures. The brand has earned its reputation for offering strong, affordable products backed by consistent, full-panel, third-party lab testing on every batch. And, aside from their commitment to quality products, what sets Canna River apart is how it holds itself accountable to reducing its environmental footprint.

Every order ships with carbon-neutral shipping to offset emissions, and the brand’s Plant-a-Tree program funds a new tree for every single order.

It’s the kind of initiative that lovers of both kinds of trees can get behind. To date, Canna River customers have helped plant more than 160,000 trees, and that’s not a one-time campaign; it’s a running tally that grows with every order.

New name, new products, same high standards

The transition to River Botanicals doesn’t come out of nowhere; it’s a natural evolution as the brand expands beyond CBD and delta-9. The new name signals a new broader focus on botanical wellness.

Canna River customers may have noticed that the menu has branched out in recent months. The core lineup still spans gummies, tinctures, softgels, topicals, and pet products, formulated around cannabinoids like CBD, CBN, CBG, delta-8, and delta-9, but there are also some new additions. Kratom River is a new line that introduces kratom and kava in convenient formats like tablets, gummies, and ready-to-drink shots.

Not familiar with kratom and kava? The former comes from the leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree, native to Southeast Asia, while the latter is a botanical derived from the root of the Piper methysticum plant, native to the South Pacific islands. Together, these plants are prized for their wellness properties and ability to naturally enhance everyday experiences.

While the name has changed, the commitment to full-panel, third-party lab testing remains a constant and extends to the new lineup of kratom and kava formulations.

For existing Canna River customers, the shift from Canna River to River Botanicals has no impact on their go-to products, pricing, or sustainability practices. All the best features will carry on under the new name.

The expanded lineup simply reflects where the brand is headed while staying true to their roots; broader botanical wellness, made to uncompromising standards. Whether you’re restocking a favorite tincture or trying kratom and kava for the first time, you can feel good that the same family-run values are behind every product.
