Koan has spent years mastering the art of delivering exceptional, precise cannabis experiences  The Pocket Elixirs are the latest and highest expression of that work.  These unique products are precisely crafted formulas with rapid onset that provide predictable and beneficial experiences - time after time.  The scientifically-based formulas use a variety of major cannabinoids, minor cannabinoids and terpenes to deliver experiences as rich and complex as smoking cannabis flower.  No other beverages go to such great lengths to achieve these results.

Because Koan Pocket Elixirs are emulsified formulas, if you swirl them directly in your mouth for 30 seconds, you should begin to feel the effects in about 11 to 15 minutes. If you mix them into another drink, it will take a little longer for the effects to be felt and that will substantially be determined by how fast you drink.  

Keep in mind that the start or “onset time” and the “peak effects” periods are different.  You may, for example, start feeling the effects in about 15 minutes which will build until the peak period around 60 to 70 minutes after ingestion.   Pocket Elixir experiences average approximately three to four hours.  Expect the peak experience to last approximately 90 minutes and tail off beautifully.

When you pour a Pocket Elixir into a beverage, this allows you to manage the onset time.  If you sip your product over a longer period of time, this delays the time when you will feel the full effects.  At peak the experience is similar to taking the Pocket Elixir straight.  You can also micro-calibrate  the experience by controlling how quickly you ingest the Pocket Elixir.  For example, if you sip 2 drinks slowly back to back your peak will be similar but stretched out over a longer period of time.   Adding a Pocket Elixir to your favorite drink gives you complete control over how you enjoy the experience.

Absolutely.  Pocket Elixirs have been tested several times by respected 3rd party labs during the course of their production.   For detailed information see the COAs available on our product pages.  As a team we come out of the California compliant market and we use everything we learned to create the best and safest products in the industry. 

Cannabis and hemp come from the same plant species, cannabis sativa, and are nearly identical besides their legal classification. Hemp is defined as cannabis with .03% Delta-9 THC by dry weight and is federally legal, while cannabis is any plant that has a higher Delta-9 THC content, and is federally illegal. Delta-9 THC is the exact same molecule whether it is derived from hemp or cannabis. This is a naturally occurring compound, and Koan only uses naturally extracted Delta-9 THC from hemp. While some Delta-9 products use synthetic THC, we use a natural extraction process that’s free of any harmful chemicals.

Our Elixirs are fully compliant with the 2018 farm bill. We use naturally extracted Delta-9 THC derived from hemp which accounts for no more than 0.3% of the net weight of the product.

GLIDE - just ask any one who has tried it.  We've had reports that it is  “life changing”.  GLIDE helps you relax, focus and experience more enjoyment in your life. For deeper levels and challenges, try SOAR. 

Koan Pocket Elixirs are made from carefully sourced, isolated and emulsified ingredients. This method of isolating elements gives us the ability to take advantage of the properties of each element separately and combine in ways that create the richest and most satisfying experiences.  It has many of the same characteristics of full spectrum flower or extract.  This allows us to deliver uniquely precise product experiences consistently time after time providing the richness that discerning connoisseurs seek. 

Our Pocket Elixir products are infused with Delta-9 THC, a psychoactive compound found in both cannabis and hemp.  As with any THC product, just how high you get depends on your body’s response to THC, your tolerance, and the amount you consume. Koan formulates all of our products to provide you with a functional level of euphoria.  As an example GLIDE, our lower THC product, will provide a relaxing and positive experience but you will still be perfectly fine helping your kids with Math homework.   With SOAR, you will probably prefer to do much more interesting things with your time.

We do not recommend driving after taking any substance which alters your focus, reaction time or attention span.  Always try any new products at home and in a safe environment and remember - NO HEAVY MACHINERY!

None of the current Pocket Elixir products are designed to make you sleepy.   GLIDE is relaxing but uplifting. Soar is a more vibrant joyful ride.  The beauty of the carefully formulated experiences is that there are no rough edges.  After 4 hours you are gently tapering off and you will be ready to drift off to sleep, unless you have another one.  Of course, if you’ve been stressed out all day, come home and take Glide and feel so relieved that you decide to take a nap - well, that’s totally up to you. On the other hand, if you pop it into your smoothie before your yoga class, you’ll probably have the best class ever.

As a general rule, the higher the THC content, the more likely for the munchies to present itself.  KOAN Pocket Elixirs are not overly appetite stimulating by design.  Of course there are other factors like, taking SOAR raking two acres of leaves and then swimming for an hour. Then you could potentially be hungry. 

Of course, but heavy or fatty food may change the timing and quality of the experience.

You could but Koan Pocket Elixirs are very different from any other cannabis experiences. We do not recommend making your consumption decision on the THC potency alone.  Our effect formulas are complex.  First try one Pocket Elixir to see how it makes you feel. Wait several hours to enjoy the complete experience. The great thing about our form factor is that you can precisely calibrate your experience over time.  Take a soar for a day at the beach and then a glide for a nice dinner and a movie, and you are likely to have a memorable experience.

We do not and cannot advise this. Pocket Elixirs are highly controlled and exciting experiences all on their own.  If you mix them with alcohol you will alter the fully targeted experience the product offers.  Cannabis allows you to “check in,” alcohol helps you “check out.”  These can be used as alcohol replacements, but expect something much more interesting. 

This depends on the party and the guests.  Some people would enjoy GLIDE and some would prefer the higher dose SOAR. Both are wonderful compliments to any fancy mocktail you’d like to serve.  Offering our FLIGHT PACK to your guests makes for perfect parties. 

A Koan is a Zen paradox or puzzle designed to speed the path to enlightenment.   Our formulas are profoundly grounding and create a sense of connection as heart openers.  The name  is appealing to us because our company is working to create products that can support human connections, evolution and help make the world a better place.  That process begins on the individual level with both traditional “koans” and our intentional experiences supporting wellness of body, mind and spirit.  .
