Is Kushiva a good CannaMeds India alternative?
Kushiva is a like-for-like alternative to CannaMeds India for anyone buying oil or concentrated extract, and it is cheaper on each comparable size. CannaMeds listed its 10 ml Vijaya oil at Rs 1,500 and its 30 ml at Rs 4,500 when we checked on 6 September 2026, against Kushiva's Rs 1,199 and Rs 2,490. Where CannaMeds wins is breadth: it also sells capsules and RSO-style extracts, which Kushiva does not make at all.
Their catalogue has capsules, RSO and four ratios. Ours has four products. One of us sleeps better.

What is actually in the bottle
- Made in a GMP and ISO-certified facility. Manufacturing standards govern how consistently a batch is produced — the difference between a formulation that behaves the same way every time and one that does not.
- Full-spectrum leaf extract, not an isolate. The leaf’s natural compound profile is retained rather than stripped down to a single molecule.
- An MCT carrier oil, not a filler oil. Our oils are a 20% Vijaya leaf extract carried in MCT. Carrier choice is the quietest quality decision in this category and the one buyers rarely check.
- Standardised strength, stated as a number. 200 mg per ml on the label, and 350 mg of standardised leaf extract per gummy — not a ratio you have to convert, and not a range.
- Gummies with no added sugar. A cola-flavoured, portioned format that does not carry a confectionery sugar load with it.
- Flavoured because extract is not pleasant. Mint in the oil, cola in the gummies. This matters more than it sounds when something is taken daily.
- Blister-packed, one dose per cell. Portioning is hygiene and dose control at the same time.
Every figure above is printed on the approved label, so you can check it against the pack rather than take our word for it.
Brands label actives in different units, so the table compares price, proof and process — not potency. Amounts belong with the approved label and a registered medical practitioner. Prices and policies as listed on 6 September 2026; sources below.
The money
What you actually pay
02Comparing these two is easier than most pairings in this category because both quote a milligram figure and a bottle size. CannaMeds' 10 ml Vijaya oil is listed at 1,000 mg for Rs 1,500; Kushiva's 10 ml is 200 mg per ml, so 2,000 mg, for Rs 1,199. At 30 ml, CannaMeds lists 3,000 mg for Rs 4,500 and Magiccann Classic 3,000 mg for Rs 4,999, against Kushiva's 6,000 mg for Rs 2,490. Those are the listed figures on both sites on 6 September 2026. Milligrams of extract and milligrams of cannabinoid are not the same measurement, so treat this as a price comparison and leave potency to the label and your doctor.
| Product | Size | Price | Strength on the label | Works out at |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cannabis leaf extract oil | 10 ml | Rs 1,199 | 200 mg/ml | Rs 120 per ml |
| Cannabis leaf extract oil | 30 ml | Rs 2,490 | 200 mg/ml | Rs 83 per ml |
| Cannabis gummies | Pack of 10 | Rs 3,550 | 350 mg per gummy | Rs 355 per gummy |
| Full-spectrum enriched extract | 5 g | Rs 3,500 | Concentrated extract | Rs 700 per gram |
Prices are inclusive of GST, so the figure on the product page is the figure you pay. The right-hand column is arithmetic on the listed price, not a dosing suggestion — how much to take belongs with the approved label and a registered medical practitioner.

The process
How ordering from Kushiva works
03Pick a format, or let the quiz pick one
Oils let you adjust a drop at a time; gummies are pre-portioned; the enriched extract is concentrated. If you are not sure, the free format-finder quiz asks a handful of questions and points at one. Nothing is charged at this stage.
Upload the prescription you already have
Both brands take this route, and that is a point in CannaMeds’ favour rather than against it — its site states “upload prescription and we will deliver your medicines”. Kushiva works the same way: a valid prescription from any registered practitioner is uploaded at checkout, or we arrange the consultation after you order and hold the order until it clears. Nothing ships without that step. The prescription route is explained here.
A doctor reviews the order before it is packed
This is the step most buyers do not realise happens. Whether you uploaded a prescription or took the arranged consultation, an in-house doctor looks at the order before dispatch. If something does not add up — a format that does not fit the request, an interaction worth flagging — we contact you rather than ship it. Our guide to Vijaya and other medicines covers the interactions that come up most often.
It ships in 3 to 5 working days with a GST invoice
Packaging is discreet and unbranded on the outside. A GST invoice is issued on every order, which matters if you are claiming it or simply want a paper trail. Prices are inclusive of GST, so the figure on the product page is the figure you pay. Delivery terms are set out in the refund and return policy.
Point by point
How Kushiva compares
04Cheaper on every size both brands sell.
Rs 1,199 against Rs 1,500 at 10 ml, Rs 2,490 against Rs 4,500 at 30 ml, Rs 3,500 against Rs 4,500 at 5 g (6 September 2026).
One strength, stated per millilitre.
200 mg per ml, whatever bottle you buy. The number does not change when the size does, so a 10 ml and a 30 ml behave identically drop for drop.
A batch certificate, and a doctor before dispatch.
A certificate of analysis for every batch, and an in-house doctor review on every order at no extra consultation fee.
Four products instead of a catalogue.
Fewer decisions, and a free format-finder quiz if even four is one too many.
Switching over
Moving from CannaMeds India: what changes
05
The strength is quoted differently
CannaMeds quotes total milligrams per bottle. Kushiva quotes milligrams of extract per millilitre, which stays the same across sizes. Once you are used to it the second is easier, because you are not recalculating every time you change bottle.
An existing prescription can be uploaded
A prescription from a registered medical practitioner is valid whoever arranged the consultation. Upload it at checkout and you are through the same gate.
There are no capsules or ratio products
Kushiva makes two oils, one gummy and one enriched extract. If you were buying capsules or a specific ratio, that is a genuine trade and worth knowing before you switch.
Where they win
When CannaMeds India is the better buy
06CannaMeds has the wider catalogue and it is not close — capsules, RSO-style extracts and several CBD-to-THC ratios that Kushiva simply does not make. If your prescription names a ratio or a capsule, buy from someone who sells it, and that may well be them. A larger range is also a real advantage if you are working through formats with a doctor rather than settling on one.
Comparison pages are usually written by the winner, so treat this one the same way you would treat theirs: check the figures. Every price here is dated and sourced at the foot of the page, and if one is wrong we would rather fix it than defend it.
Straight answer
What we can promise, and what we cannot
07We cannot promise it will do anything for you.
Nobody honestly can. Responses differ, and a seller who guarantees an outcome is telling you what you want to hear rather than what is true.
We can promise the label is the truth.
The 350 mg printed on the gummy is 13% of a 2,700 mg gummy, which works out at 351 mg on the batch certificate. The label and the document agree, and that is arithmetic you can check.
We can promise what carries it.
A 20% Vijaya leaf extract in an MCT carrier oil, not a filler oil. Full-spectrum rather than an isolate. Gummies with no added sugar, blister-packed one dose per cell.
We can promise a doctor sees it before you do.
Every order is reviewed in-house before it is packed. If something does not fit, we contact you instead of shipping it.
You are not really buying a bottle. You are buying the certainty of knowing exactly what is inside it, who checked it, and what it cost — on something you may take a few hundred times a year. We have done everything in our power to make sure what reaches you is exactly what we said it would be. The rest belongs with the approved label and your doctor.

Are the milligram figures comparable between the two brands?
