1776 Heritage Reserve Raw CBD CBDa Drops

Taking a "Heritage Grade" unrefined extract is a ritual. It is a nod to a time before artificial sweeteners and chemical bleaching—when wellness was raw, real, and required a little bit of "Revolutionary Grit."

Step 1: Agitate the Ranks (The Shake)

Because this oil is unrefined, the heavy hitters—the waxes, chlorophyll, and dense CBDa—might settle at the bottom.

• The Action: Shake the bottle vigorously for 5–10 seconds. You want those 1776mg of cannabinoids evenly distributed for a consistent dose.

Step 2: The Liberty Drop (The Dose)

Start with a half-dropper (approx. 30mg of CBD).

• The Action: Squeeze the oil directly under your tongue. Do not let it hit your taste buds on the top of your tongue yet! The sublingual glands under the tongue absorb the cannabinoids directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for faster relief.

Step 3: Hold Your Ground (The 60-Second Rule)

This is where the "Heritage" flavor really shows its face. It will be earthy, bitter, and "hempy."

• The Action: Hold the oil under your tongue for at least 60 seconds. * The Strategy: Think of it like a soldier’s ration—it’s not about the flavor; it’s about the mission. The longer you hold it, the more CBDa and CBD you absorb.

Step 4: The Post-Revolution Reward (The Chaser)

Once you swallow, the flavor will linger. Since the 1776 Heritage Reserve is a fat-soluble extract, a "chaser" can actually help with absorption.

• The Action: Follow your dose with something bold.
  • The Patriot’s Choice: A spoonful of raw honey (to cut the bitter).
  • The Morning Muster: A sip of strong, black coffee.
  • The High-Absorption Hack: A bite of something with healthy fats (like a piece of dark chocolate or a spoonful of peanut butter) to help transport the cannabinoids through your system.

Why does it taste like this?

We get asked this a lot. The "rough" flavor is actually the taste of authenticity.

1. Raw CBDa: This is the acidic precursor to CBD. It is significantly more "spicy" and bitter than standard CBD, but studies suggest it is up to 11 times more bioavailable than regular CBD.
2. Chlorophyll & Terpenes: Because this is unrefined, we haven't stripped away the dark green chlorophyll or the potent "Alpha-Pinene" and "Myrcene" terpenes. These are what give the plant its natural defense mechanisms—and its therapeutic power.

The Heritage Guarantee: If it tastes like a field in 1776, it’s working.
