Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike most edibles on the market, Dr. Murse/CannabisDNP Therapeutic Taffies are uniquely developed by a licensed Doctor of Nursing Practice with advanced training in cannabinoid medicine. Each formulation is grounded in evidence-based research and designed to support therapeutic goals such as relaxation, sleep, and pain management. Our products are made with clean, minimal ingredients and manufactured in cGMP-compliant facilities that uphold the highest standards of food-grade quality and safety. We source our hemp-derived cannabinoids and terpenes exclusively from DEA-registered farms to ensure regulatory integrity, consistency, and traceability at every step. Every batch is independently lab-tested to ensure consistency, safety, and efficacy—delivering a trusted product rooted in clinical integrity and patient-centered care.

Our products contain hemp-derived Delta-9 THC, which can produce mind-altering effects depending on your dose, metabolism, and tolerance. However, each formulation is intentionally crafted to offer therapeutic support (such as relaxation, mood enhancement, and relief) without causing overwhelming intoxication. We achieve this balance through the synergistic combination of cannabinoids and targeted terpene profiles, creating a more refined and functional experience. This synergistic effect enhances therapeutic efficacy and allows the natural compounds to work together for more consistent and beneficial outcomes than relying on THC alone.

Yes. Our hemp-derived Delta-9 products comply with the 2018 Farm Bill and are federally legal. In Wisconsin, hemp-derived Delta-9 THC is allowed as long as it contains less than 0.3% THC by dry weight.

Delta-9 THC (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive cannabinoid found naturally in cannabis. The 'Delta-9' designation refers to the location of a specific double bond on its molecular structure, which distinguishes it from other similar compounds like Delta-8 or Delta-10 THC.

Delta-9 THC works by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is a complex cell-signaling network that helps regulate functions such as mood, pain perception, sleep, appetite, and immune response. It binds primarily to CB1 receptors in the brain and central nervous system and, to a lesser extent, CB2 receptors in the immune system (periphery and within the brain). This interaction functions like a lock-and-key mechanism, producing therapeutic effects such as relaxation, reduced inflammation, pain relief, and improved sleep, depending on the dose, delivery method, and individual tolerance. When formulated thoughtfully and used responsibly, Delta-9 THC can be a powerful component of plant-based wellness.

CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid at low doses, though it is still considered psychoactive because it influences mood, perception, and cognition. It helps with stress, sleep (higher doses), and inflammation without producing the "high" associated with THC. Unlike THC, CBD is a negative allosteric modulator, which means it binds to a different part of the cannabinoid receptor than THC and alters the receptor's response to stimuli. Think of THC as a mischievous child or dog, and CBD as the overbearing parent gently guiding behavior—it helps moderate and direct how the receptor reacts. THC activates CB1 receptors directly, while CBD fine-tunes the response, making for a more balanced and therapeutic experience when used together.

Safety is at the core of everything we do. We source our hemp from DEA-certified farms, in Wisconsin, with verifiable Chain of Custody documentation. Our products are manufactured in FDA-registered and HACCP Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)-certified facilities that have been independently validated through SCS Global Services’ Food Safety and Dietary Supplements Programs. Every batch undergoes comprehensive testing by third-party, ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories to verify potency, purity, and consistency—ensuring it is free from contaminants, including heavy metals, residual solvents, and pesticides.

We use supercritical CO₂ extraction, widely regarded as the industry gold standard. CO₂ becomes our solvent once it reaches a critical point of pressure and temperature, allowing us to precisely extract the most delicate terpenes first, followed by cannabinoids at higher pressures and temperatures. This two-phase process preserves flavor and potency, avoids harsh chemical solvents, and prevents isomerization (the unintended conversion of cannabinoids). The result is a cleaner, more effective extract with better therapeutic outcomes and no lingering aftertaste.

Our Calm & Balance Daytime Formula is designed to promote calm, mental clarity, and emotional equilibrium. Our Rest & Restore Nighttime Formula is crafted to support deeper relaxation and better-quality sleep. Both are enhanced with hand-selected terpenes for their therapeutic potential. While cannabinoids like THC and CBD offer powerful benefits on their own, their synergy with terpenes (the synergistic effect) enhances effectiveness and depth of experience. However, because each person’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) is unique, results may vary. This is why cannabinoid therapeutics are highly individualized—some people may respond differently to formulas based on their personal biochemistry.

Yes. Every taffy is made using 100% vegan ingredients, including plant-based pectin instead of animal-derived gelatin. We use only natural colors and flavors (no artificial additives, preservatives, or shortcuts) because what you put in your body matters.

Edibles typically take 30 to 90 minutes to take effect, depending on factors like metabolism, body weight, and whether you’ve eaten recently. Cannabinoids are lipophilic, meaning they absorb better in the presence of fats, making our taffy an ideal delivery system. Additionally, some medications can affect how your body processes cannabinoids: certain drugs may induce (lower) or inhibit (raise) cannabinoid levels. Always start low, go slow, and be aware of how other factors (like food, medications, or individual ECS sensitivity) might influence your experience.

If you're currently taking prescription medications or have a health condition, we strongly recommend consulting your healthcare provider before using any cannabinoid product, especially one with experience in cannabinoid therapeutics. Cannabinoids can interact with a variety of medications, particularly those metabolized by the liver’s cytochrome P450 system.

You can order directly through our website, visit one of our trusted Wisconsin retailers, or find us in person at the Northside Farmers Market in Madison, WI on Sundays (until October). If your favorite store doesn’t carry us yet—ask them to! We’d love to connect.
