Here at Owls Oil, we're all about making high-quality cannabinoid products that you can trust. But there's more to that trust than just producing quality goods. We want to ensure that our products are used safely and responsibly, especially around young ones. That's why we're big advocates for child-resistant and opaque packaging.
Why It's a Big Deal
Kids are curious little explorers, aren't they? Anything new or interesting is like a shiny beacon, begging them to investigate. That's where the trouble starts if 'interesting' translates to our colorful gummies or sleek vape cartridges.
While our hemp-derived products are designed for adults looking for relaxation, pain relief, or just a bit of zen, they're definitely not kid-friendly. Their psychoactive properties aren't suitable for children, and accidental ingestion can lead to some unpleasant side effects. Dizziness, mood changes, or more severe symptoms are all possible, and that's a situation no one wants.
Taking the Lead on Safety
Here's the truth - regulations around packaging for psychoactive hemp products aren't as strict as those for traditional cannabis products. But at Owls, we believe in setting our own safety bar high. That's why all our products come in child-resistant opaque packaging, going beyond the 'required' to do what's right for our customers and their families.
Personal Experience:
There's a real-life moment that underscored just how crucial this issue is, and it happened before Owls Oil had even begun. Picture this: our now-CEO, Luke Gavin, is hanging out at home with his little one.
In the midst of the everyday hustle and bustle, Luke had some edible samples from another brand sitting up on the counter. He thought they were well out of reach, safe from tiny, curious hands. But if you've spent any time around a 3-year-old, you know just how fast things can change.
In the blink of an eye, Luke glanced back to see his young son clutching those gummies, ready to pop them into his mouth.
Imagine the heart-stopping jolt of that moment - the realization of what could have happened. It's an experience that's etched deeply into our company ethos, reminding us why child-resistant packaging isn't just a good idea, it's an absolute must.
Doing What's Right, Not Just When It's Required
We're proud to be part of the hemp industry, but we're even prouder to lead the way when it comes to safety. Our decision to use child-resistant packaging is about more than ticking a regulatory box. It's about caring about the end user (and should-not-users) and keeping your family safe.
We're doing our part, but remember, safety is a team game. So let's keep those Owls Oil products stored safely away from children. Working together, we can create a safer space for everyone - and that's a win in our book.
