The Bottom Line
Transparency & Accuracy
The accuracy variances for our Plain Jane products concerning potency are mixed, with two checked products testing below the 10% variance limit allowed and two products over the acceptable 10% limit. Purity test results for pesticides were passed by one checked product, and residual solvents were passed by two checked products. However, none of our four checked products were purity tested for heavy metal foreign contaminants or microbials. Plain Jane was founded in 2018, with no FDA warnings to date. They are also an accredited BBB business with an A score, no complaints filed, and a 4.5 TrustPilot rating.
Hemp Quality
Under “Our Story” on the website home page, Plain Jane reports that they are licensed by the Oregon Department of Agriculture, and their hemp is sourced from “more than 15 small American family farms, mostly located in Southern Oregon.” They offer broad spectrum, full spectrum, and isolate CBD and Delta-8 THC products that are promised by the company to be pesticide-free and non-GMO. However, only limited purity test results for foreign contaminants, such as pesticides, solvents, microbials, and heavy metals, were conducted on the ordered products.
Variety of Products
Plain Jane offers a variety of broad spectrum, full spectrum, and isolate CBD and Delta-8 THC products, including tinctures, topicals, gummies, mints, whole flower and pre-rolls, hemp cigarettes, capsules, isolate powder and terpsolate concentrate, vape cartridges and e-liquid. These range from 20 mg to 71,680 mg (1 lb) of total CBD. Plain Jane’s highest potency milligram amount is based on their 1 lb of flower option, which is 448,000 mg of volume. At an average 16% potency level of CBD or CBG, that amounts to 71,680 mg. Each product is extracted using an ethanol process before being tested by an independent third party lab. Most products are further formulated with easily digestible MCT oil.
Customer Experience
Their straightforward website is easy to navigate, with a CBD blog on the main menu, as well as links to “FAQs” and the customer service “Contact” page. Their FAQ page explains their return policy, and product pages provide detailed product information on usage, ingredients, and COA lab results, which are also located under the “Lab Certificates” link on the bottom of each page. Consumers can shop by either filtering products by category using the individual “Store” links on the dropdown menu, or by taking the “How Do You Want To Feel Today” quiz under their “Home” link on main menu.
Price & Discounts
Prices range from $2.99 to $900.00 with an average price point of $.05 per mg, which is lower than average when compared to other brands in the market. There is a link to their “Shipping and Refund Policy” at the bottom of the page. Free USPS shipping is offered on all U.S. orders with a $30 minimum order, or expedited UPS shipping is offered at checkout. They offer a 30 day money-back guarantee.

What Sets Plain Jane Apart From Competitors

They offer an excellent range of potencies between 20 mg and 71,680 mg in 1 lb of 16% potency whole flower.

Methodology
Data Collection and Rating
In our review process, we receive CBD products directly from the brand to personally review ourselves, so we can give you an accurate idea of the packaging, potency, taste, smell, feel, and overall experience of each product. We also discuss the company’s shipping and returns policy.
Another important step we take is reviewing each individual product for details such as the certificate of analysis to assess the CBD level and CBD variance, THC level, and contaminants.
We take all factors into account and give each CBD brand and each CBD product a score for each parameter.
All of the information we collect is generated into a concise, easy to read review and put into our extensive database. Keep in mind, our reviews are never intended to substitute or act as medical advice.
Product DataBase
Our database collects key information for each product, including CBD product prices, potencies, third-party lab test results, flavors, additional ingredients, hemp quality, extract types, product variety, and more.
We then use all of this combined data to give each brand and product a standardized rating out of five points.
Brand Review Process
There are many factors we consider when we review the quality, integrity and products of a CBD brand. We rate each brand on several factors including:
- Transparency & accuracy. It is important that a CBD brand is forthcoming with who makes up their team, their mission, manufacturing process, and lab reports. Also, we look for the accuracy of the CBD and THC levels in the products’ lab reports.
- Hemp quality. Hemp quality can be a deciding factor between a good CBD brand and a great CBD brand. We look for organic and sustainable farming methods with attention to detail in each manufacturing step.
- The variety of products they offer. We like to see several CBD product types and flavors.
- Customer service. It is essential that each CBD company has multiple ways to connect to customer service to ask questions. We look for speedy and complete responses.
- Price and discounts. Competitive pricing is an important aspect of being a top-rated CBD brand. We also look for discount options and ways to save on your order.
Market Reports
Another way Leafreport stands out from other CBD review websites is our evidence-based market reports. For each one, we purchase different types of CBD products and send them for independent lab testing to check whether their levels of CBD and other cannabinoids match the label.
Information Updates
Writers and editors conduct our reviews and our database on an annual basis but continually make updates throughout the year. We maintain frequent contact with brands and highlight any changes in offerings.
The Review Team
Our review team is made up of a wide chain of qualified CBD review writers, some with medical degrees, some with statistics backgrounds, others with ample experience in the CBD arena. Each and every one of our CBD reviews are approved by our medical reviewer before being published on our website to ensure all information is accurate.
Conflicts of Interest
While Leafreport does have partnerships with many of the reviewed brands, we manage potential conflicts of interest by maintaining a wall between our content and business operations. This wall is designed to prevent our writers and the review process from being influenced or impacted by our business partnerships. This way, all reviews can provide an unbiased review that serves the interests of our users.
About the Company
Plain Jane was founded in 2018 in Medford, Oregon with a mission to make CBD products “more accessible and affordable because our goal is simple: to get the best flower for the best prices.” They are licensed by the Oregon Department of Agriculture and practice regenerative farming practices even though they are not certified organic, sourcing from small family farms that are mostly located in Southern Oregon. They pride themselves on offering more than 20 strains of the highest quality outdoor, greenhouse, and indoor flower.
As a part of our reputation check, we check BBB, FDA warnings, and more to see if there are any complaints or warnings about the brand. We didn’t find FDA warnings for Plain Jane, but they are an accredited BBB business with an A score and no complaints. They also maintain a steady 4.5 TrustPilot rating due to ongoing positive customer reviews.
Transparency
Independent CBD testing is a necessary quality and safety control tool to ensure that the labeled amounts of CBD and THC are identical to the contents of each final product a customer receives. Plain Jane has all of their products tested for potency and partial purity by a third party lab, and all available results are posted on each corresponding product page and through the “Lab Certificates” link on the bottom of every page online.
All of the products received by Plain Jane were third party tested for potency; however, none of the four checked products were purity tested for heavy metals or microbials. Lab tests for pesticides were passed by one checked product in our order and the residual solvent test was passed by two checked products.
Accuracy
Using the corresponding product pages, we matched five ordered products with the independent third party lab results for potency and purity from foreign contaminants. All checked products were confirmed by independent third party testing to contain less than the legal 0.3% limit of THC, or no THC was detected.
As for the highest accuracy variance in this order, the 2000 mg full spectrum gel capsules tested with 1272.8 total mg of CBD, or 15.9 mg per serving size of 1 gel capsule, which is a 36.3% accuracy variance and over the acceptable 10% limit. The lowest accuracy variance was found in the 500 mg labeled edible sleep gummies, which tested with 524.7 total mg of CBD or 26.2 mg per serving size of 1 gummy. This is an accuracy variance of 4.9% and below the 10% variance limit allowed.
Reputation
Plain Jane is the original creator of the first low-smelling CBD or hemp cigarette. They remove the traditional cannabis smells using a water-cured process, and then formulate flavors into the cigarette papers. Their CBD cigarettes contain no tobacco or nicotine, and they have naturally occurring tobacco terpenes. According to the website, they now have more than 75,000 customers in all of the United States in which they can mail and deliver and they have a verified 4.5 TrustPilot rating.
Manufacturing Process
Plain Jane is a legal, authorized grower of American hemp, sourced from a small community of family farms in Southern Oregon. Their broad spectrum, full spectrum, isolate CBD and Delta-8 THC products are ethanol extracted, and many products are further formulated with easily digestible MCT oil as the carrier for maximum bioavailability.
After formulation, the next step is independent third party CBD testing, which is an important safety and quality control measure utilized by Plain Jane to ensure that the labeled potency of CBD and THC matches the contents and remains free of foreign contaminants. They conduct independent potency and limited purity lab testing for all of their products, which are posted on every corresponding product page online, as well as under the “Lab Certificates” link at the bottom of page under the “Quality Standards” heading.
Plain Jane offers broad spectrum, full spectrum, isolate CBD and Delta-8 THC products, available in tinctures, topicals, gummies, mints, whole flower and pre-rolls, hemp cigarettes, capsules, isolate powder and terpsolate concentrate, vape cartridges and e-liquid.
