Everything You Wanted to Know about CBD

We talk a lot about the benefits of our CBD products, but some of our extra strength and sleep lines have CBG or CBN in them. Most people are familiar with CBD, and today we’re going to dive a little deeper into these other great cannabinoids. There are many beneficial cannabinoids beyond just CBD, and they each have different benefits to our wellbeing.  Depending on what symptoms you’re looking to treat, you’ll use different CBD combinations. We’ll talk more through each of those below. 

So, what are CBG and CBN?

CBG (cannabigerol) is a form of cannabigerolic acid. CBG is non intoxicating and won’t make you high. Instead, CBG is mood-boosting, energizing, and potentially even pain-relieving. If you’re working on a busy project at work, wanting to hit a hard workout, or need to focus on detail oriented tasks, CBG is the right choice for you. 

CBN (cannabinol) is derived from aging TCH, so it may result in you feeling somewhat high, and it is a relaxing, calming, sleep aid that is associated with reduced feelings of anxiety and general calmness. If you’re needing to sleep better, have been extra stressed, or are working on managing your anxiety, CBD can be a great option for you. 

As a note, some people may experience more similar results taking CBN to THC as it’s a byproduct of THC’s degradation, but these are usually minor. Don’t take CBN if you’re needing to stay super alert, will be driving, or it’s 8am and you have a long day ahead of you. 

How do I use them?

Are you exhausted and not sleeping well? Have you been suffering from anxiety, racing thoughts, and can’t seem to settle down? Our Extra Strength Mint Cream oil has CBD and CBN in it, making it perfect for getting some good rest and pressing the mute button on your anxiety. Don’t forget: this tincture contains 3mg of THC per serving. Take note that it could have an intoxicating effect depending on your tolerance to THC.

Additionally, if you’ve had a long, stressful day, are dealing with sleep disruptions, and anxiety, or want to really chill out and relax, our Extra Strength Mint Cream oil is going to be your best bet. For your deepest sleep, our CBD PM oil combines all of the goodness (CBD, CBN, and THC plus Valerian Root and Chamomile) into one sleep-inducing tincture. Adults can take 1-2ml (60-120mg CBD) one hour before bedtime, or as needed. Just like our Extra Strength Mint Cream, this tincture has THC in it, and you may feel high. Additionally, this tincture will show up on a drug test if you take them for work. 

On the other hand, if you need to focus, work on some projects, or are just feeling a bit scattered, our Extra Strength Cinnamon oil is the best option for you. This tincture is formulated with both CBD and CBG, and you’ll have all of the benefits of CBD with the added energy and focus boost that comes with CBG. If you need to get some work done, are dealing with pain or inflammation, or just want to take the edge off your stress or anxiety without drowsiness, this is the oil that you’ll want to go with.
