If you’re riding the Long Beach Branch into Penn Station every morning, managing a full day of high-stakes work, and then sitting in Merrick Road traffic on the way home, you already know what chronic low-grade stress feels like. It’s not dramatic. It’s just always there the tight shoulders, the short fuse, the inability to actually decompress when you finally get through the door.
CBG oil works differently from what most people expect. Unlike products that leave you foggy or slow, our hemp-derived CBG tinctures are specifically non-sedating meaning you can take them before you board the train at Merrick station and still arrive in Manhattan ready to work. A 2024 randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study found a significant reduction in anxiety and stress from a 20mg dose of hemp-derived CBG tincture. That’s published human clinical research, the first of its kind for CBG.
For Merrick residents who are also dealing with the physical side of an active South Shore life weekends on the water, running along the Merrick Riverfront, or just the wear that comes with staying busy our Full-Spectrum CBG Oil for Inflammation addresses more than stress. Full-spectrum means the complete range of hemp cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids working together, not an isolated compound working alone. The result is a more complete response.
D&D CBD, Inc. wasn’t started by investors looking for the next supplement trend. We were built around a real family experience specifically, our founder’s daughter Erika, who is 30 years old and has gone through more than 60 surgeries. CBD and CBG oil became part of how she managed pain and anxiety, and that experience is the reason we exist. That kind of origin doesn’t come from a boardroom. It comes from actually needing something to work.
That authenticity shows up in how we operate. Every product is third-party lab tested, and Certificates of Analysis are available so you can verify exactly what’s in the bottle before you buy. No guessing, no vague “lab tested” claims actual documentation from independent labs. In a market where product quality varies enormously and the FDA doesn’t yet formally regulate CBG as a dietary supplement, that transparency is the difference between a brand worth trusting and one worth skipping.
We serve Nassau County residents across the South Shore, including Merrick. Whether you’re in South Merrick’s waterfront neighborhoods or closer to the Bellmore-Merrick school district corridor, the product ships directly to you and the COA ships with it, in plain view, before you spend a dollar.
Starting with CBG oil is simpler than most people expect, but getting it right does require a few decisions upfront. The first is format. We offer full-spectrum CBG oil tinctures taken sublingually, meaning a few drops held under the tongue for 30 to 60 seconds before swallowing. This method absorbs faster than capsules or edibles, and for someone managing daily commuter stress or anxiety, onset typically comes within 20 to 30 minutes.
The second decision is potency. We carry formulations including a 2,000mg CBG Oil and a Full-Spectrum CBG Oil specifically formulated for inflammation two distinct products for two distinct needs. If you’re primarily dealing with stress, focus, or anxiety management, the standard CBG tincture is the starting point. If physical discomfort or inflammation is part of the picture which is common for active Merrick residents spending time on the water or staying physically engaged through the South Shore’s warmer months the inflammation-specific formulation is worth considering.
Once you’ve identified the right product, the process is straightforward: review the COA for that batch, confirm the cannabinoid profile and THC content (always under 0.3% for our products), and start with a lower dose to gauge your response before adjusting. There’s no complicated protocol. You order online, the product ships directly to Merrick, and the documentation comes with it.

Our CBG oil line is built around three phytocannabinoids CBD, CBN, and CBG each with a distinct profile and a distinct purpose. CBG, often called the “mother of all cannabinoids” because every other cannabinoid in the hemp plant originates from it, is the focus here. The full-spectrum formulation means you’re getting the complete plant profile, not a stripped-down isolate. That matters because the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids in full-spectrum hemp work synergistically what researchers call the entourage effect producing a more complete response than any single compound on its own.
One thing that genuinely sets us apart and this comes directly from customer feedback is the combination of CBD and essential oils in our formulations. Customers have specifically noted that no other product on the market pairs these two in the same way, and that the combination is what made the difference for them after trying other options.
For Merrick households, our product scope extends beyond individual use. We include pet CBD oil and dog treats relevant in a community with high pet ownership rates and where residents have specifically sought out CBD and CBG products for their dogs’ anxiety. We also offer a vegan sage and thyme salve for muscle and joint support, which rounds out the offering for physically active South Shore residents. Every product in our line carries a third-party COA. That’s not a bonus feature it’s the baseline standard we hold ourselves to across the board.
This is the most common concern people have before trying CBG for the first time, and it’s a fair one especially for Merrick residents who commute into Manhattan and can’t afford to show up to work feeling off. The short answer is no. CBG is non-psychoactive and specifically documented as non-sedating, which puts it in a different category from products that cause drowsiness or mental fog.
CBG interacts with the endocannabinoid system differently than THC. Our hemp-derived CBG contains less than 0.3% delta-9 THC confirmed by our third-party Certificates of Analysis which means there is no intoxicating effect. What most users report instead is a reduction in the background noise of stress and anxiety, without any accompanying cloudiness or fatigue. For someone taking it before boarding the LIRR at Merrick station, the goal is to arrive in the city calmer and more focused and that’s consistent with what the clinical research and customer experience both show.
CBD and CBG are both cannabinoids derived from hemp, but they have distinct molecular structures and interact with the body differently. CBD doesn’t bind directly to the CB1 and CB2 receptors in your endocannabinoid system it works more indirectly. CBG binds to both receptors directly, which is part of why users who haven’t gotten results from CBD alone often report a more noticeable response with CBG.
The experiential difference also tends to run in opposite directions. CBD is generally more relaxing and is often used for sleep support or winding down. CBG has a more stimulating, uplifting profile which is why it’s specifically positioned as a daytime cannabinoid. If you’ve tried CBD tinctures and found them too sedating, or just not effective enough for stress and focus during the day, CBG is a genuinely different option, not just a rebranded version of what you’ve already used. Our formulations also include the combination of CBD or CBG with essential oils something customers have specifically called out as the differentiator that made our products work when others didn’t.
Yes, fully. Hemp-derived CBG oil with less than 0.3% delta-9 THC is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill and legal in New York State. It is not subject to the Office of Cannabis Management’s dispensary licensing requirements, which apply to recreational and medical marijuana products not hemp-derived cannabinoid products. You don’t need a medical card, a dispensary visit, or any special authorization to purchase it.
We ship directly to Merrick residents, which means you can order online, review the Certificate of Analysis for your specific product batch, and have it delivered to your door no trip to a retail location required. The COA confirms the cannabinoid profile and THC content for every batch, so you have documented verification that the product meets the federal legal threshold. For Nassau County residents who are new to CBG and want to be certain about what they’re buying, that documentation removes the guesswork entirely.
This is exactly the right question to ask, and the honest answer is that in the current regulatory environment, the label alone isn’t enough. The FDA does not yet formally regulate CBG or CBD as dietary supplements, which means there’s no mandatory federal testing requirement for hemp products. That gap is why third-party Certificates of Analysis matter as much as they do and why the FDA itself has stated that if a shop can’t provide a COA, you shouldn’t buy from them.
We provide COAs from independent third-party labs for every product in our line. These documents test for cannabinoid profile (confirming actual CBG and CBD content), THC levels (verifying the under 0.3% federal threshold), and contaminants including pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbial safety. You can review the COA before you purchase not after. For Merrick residents who are research-oriented and used to doing their homework before spending money on a premium product, this is the standard of transparency that separates a credible brand from one that’s riding a trend.
The standard starting recommendation for CBG oil tinctures is a lower dose typically around 10 to 20mg per serving taken sublingually, meaning held under the tongue for 30 to 60 seconds before swallowing. This delivery method absorbs faster than capsules or edibles because it enters the bloodstream more directly. Most people notice an effect within 20 to 30 minutes, which is relevant if you’re timing it around a morning commute or a high-pressure work situation.
From there, the approach is to hold at your starting dose for a few days before adjusting. CBG affects people differently depending on body weight, metabolism, and individual endocannabinoid system response, so there’s no single universal dose. Our product line includes clearly labeled potency levels including a 2,000mg CBG Oil and the COA confirms the actual cannabinoid content per serving, so you’re not guessing at what you’re taking. If you’re unsure which potency to start with, beginning with the standard formulation and adjusting based on your response is the straightforward path.
If you’ve looked into buying CBG or CBD tinctures locally in Merrick, you may have run into the pricing at the CBD dispensary on Jerusalem Avenue. Customer reviews have specifically called out the $100 to $150 per-bottle price point as a barrier including for people who wanted CBG products for both themselves and their pets. That pricing reflects the overhead structure of a retail brick-and-mortar location stocking multiple third-party brands, which is a different cost model than a direct-to-consumer brand.
We operate online and ship directly to Merrick, which removes the retail layer from the equation. More importantly, the value comparison for CBG oil isn’t just about the sticker price it’s about milligrams per dollar. Our formulations include high-potency options like the 2,000mg CBG Oil, and every product comes with a third-party COA that confirms the actual cannabinoid content. That means you can calculate exactly what you’re getting per serving and compare it accurately against any other option. For Nassau County residents who are used to making informed purchasing decisions, that transparency is the more useful metric than price alone.
