Botanical Waters.
The science of water-extraction.
Botanical Waters builds water-soluble extracts of traditionally lipophilic botanicals. Joe Verdone's proprietary water-dissolution method — developed during his cancer recovery, when conventional oil-based delivery wasn't producing consistent absorption — makes cannabinoids and mushroom triterpenes genuinely water-soluble at meaningful concentrations. Faster onset, higher bioavailability, dose-precision you can verify against published research.
Three lines today: Hemp Botanical Water (Joe's existing OMGX CBD products), Mushroom Botanical Water (research-stage), plus the platform's research backbone — extraction methods, cultivation curriculum, and hypothetical-product specs for the eventual regulatory pathway.

Joe Verdone
Inventor of the Botanical Waters water-dissolution method · founder of Verdone Wellness Inc. · CBD-industry veteran
Joe is a Scottsdale-based wellness entrepreneur who came to cannabinoid + functional-mushroom science the long way around — through his own cancer-recovery journey. Conventional oil-based cannabinoid delivery wasn't producing the consistent absorption his treatment regimen required. So he built his own process.
The result is the water-dissolution method that powers Botanical Waters today. It makes traditionally lipophilic botanicals — cannabinoids, mushroom triterpenes — genuinely water-soluble at meaningful concentrations. What that unlocks: faster onset, higher bioavailability, and dose-precision that lets you verify what you're actually taking against published research. The same approach that produced Hemp Botanical Water (Joe's existing OMGX CBD line) now extends to Mushroom Botanical Water — research-stage today, commerce-stage when the bench trial validates.
Joe approaches the science with the same rigor wherever it goes: peer-reviewed citation behind every claim, no "treats this disease" language, doses you can verify against the published literature. Every product ships with a third-party COA mirrored on this site under /mushrooms/labs. The platform you're on now is the expansion of that approach — beyond CBD into cultivation, extraction research, and (eventually, when the law permits) regulated psychedelic-medicine products.
