When life gets chaotic, and you’re tempted to outsource your sanity to the nearest therapist—or at least your local wine store—CBD gummies might be the ticket to reclaiming some semblance of balance. As someone who has ventured into the world of CBD with the same trepidation one might approach a karaoke night sober, I’m here to tell you about my recent escapades with a variety of these chewy little heroes.
TribeTokes CBD Gummies
First up, TribeTokes’ Clean and Delicious CBD Gummy Bears. And yes, they’re so wholesome they practically scream, “I’m better than you and your pantry full of junk food.” These gummies are free from high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, and all those suspicious-sounding additives. Allegedly “mom-tested and approved,” they’re designed to calm your nerves, clarify your thoughts, and help you sleep—basically, to turn you into the Pinterest mom you pretend to be. As a CBD rookie, I’ll admit I was hesitant. But these non-psychoactive, THC-free gummies promised a “gentle boost” and managed to deliver without making me feel like I’d just taken a trip to the Upside Down. Bonus points for including CBG, which reduces inflammation and supports mood. In layman’s terms, my stress levels dipped just enough to survive toddler tantrums without Googling “boarding schools that accept 3-year-olds.”
Next, I gave TribeTokes’ CBD Sleep Gummies a whirl because, let’s face it, insomnia is my toxic trait. These beauties come packed with melatonin and CBN—a cannabinoid I had to Google but now worship. They promised deep sleep without the grogginess, which was too good. They’re the adult equivalent of a lullaby sung by angels. One gummy and I was out like a light, only to wake up refreshed and slightly suspicious of how functional I felt. If you’ve forgotten what it’s like to sleep through the night, these might restore your faith in bedtime—without resorting to counting sheep or pleading with the universe.
The Hemp Division Gummies
These 25mg CBD gems come with matcha and raspberry flavors that are supposed to refresh and reinvigorate. I’m still unsure about the matcha; it felt like eating a green tea bag, but the raspberry swooped in and saved the day. Bonus: they’ve got CBN, which supposedly works wonders for pain and inflammation. While I didn’t suddenly feel invincible, my post-workout aches seemed to chill out enough to let me climb stairs without cursing.
The Hot Cinnamon gummies are your fiery soulmate for anyone who wants their CBD with a side of spice. Infused with CBG and CBN, they pack a cinnamon punch that hits harder than your favorite holiday candle. There’s a faint hemp aftertaste, but it’s forgivable, given the benefits. They’re great for boosting dopamine and supporting mood—though be warned: one too many, and you might start singing Mariah Carey’s greatest hits unprompted.
Fern Valley Farms
Let’s start with the Trifecta CBD, CBG, and CBN Gummies. These little nuggets of wellness promise the “entourage effect,” which is cannabinoid science for “we’re better together.” Each gummy is packed with 30mg of hemp-derived cannabinoids, and they’re fast-acting—though not fast enough to save you from rewatching that terrible rom-com while waiting for the calm to kick in. Did I feel “profound and holistic wellness” as advertised? Sure, if “holistic” means temporarily forgetting my to-do list existed. They’re easy to consume, delicious, and surprisingly effective at making you question why you didn’t try this sooner. If nothing else, they’re proof that good things come in fruity, chewy packages.
The Delta 9 Gummies boldly offer 10mg THC and 20mg CBD per piece—because moderation is for the faint of heart. These gummies aim to elevate your “wellbeing journey,” whether binge-watching documentaries on otters or contemplating the meaning of life at 2 AM. Fast-acting? Yes. Delicious? Absolutely. Did they knock me sideways when I thought I was only taking a nibble? That’s a resounding also, yes. Natural flavors like Bohemian Berry and Green Apple provide a sensory experience so delightful you almost forget these gummies mean business.
For those who think Delta 9 is child’s play, Fern Valley offers Delta 8 Gummies—a swift kick of 25mg Delta 8 THC per bite. They’re described as balanced and potent, but let me tell you, “balanced” is subjective when you’re questioning the structural integrity of your couch. Ideal for seasoned and novice users alike? Debatable. Ideal for a wild ride into introspection? Absolutely. Just ensure you’re somewhere safe—like a padded room—before popping one.
Ah, the Mushroom-Infused Delta 9 Gummies. With 10mg THC, 1mg CBD, and a dash of Lion’s Mane, Reishi, and Turkey Tail mushrooms, they promise clarity, immune support, and “the head change you desire.” Bohemian Berry flavor, though delightful, couldn’t distract me from wondering if mushrooms and THC were a match made in heaven or a recipe for my brain to turn into soup. The result? Surprisingly cohesive. The mushrooms add a wellness edge without overshadowing the THC’s relaxing vibe. Don’t expect to finish your crossword puzzle with newfound clarity—this is more of a “stare at the ceiling and feel at peace” experience.
Finally, let’s talk about the CBD Bath Salts in Calming Lavender. Infused with Dead Sea Salts, organic MCT oil, and CBD distillate, they’re a luxurious way to trick yourself into thinking you’re at a five-star spa—minus the exorbitant fees and judgmental looks for bringing snacks into the tub. Lavender, chamomile, cedarwood, and frankincense combine to create a calming scent you might forgive your neighbor for mowing the lawn at 7 AM. My skin felt great, my stress melted away, and I’m sure my bathtub now thinks it’s royalty.
Extract Labs
Let’s talk about Extract Labs, the veteran-owned CBD company that promises to be the Swiss Army knife of cannabinoids. They claim to have a product for every imaginable life scenario, from sleepless nights to energy slumps, all while keeping things organic, vegan, and oh-so-earth-friendly. Naturally, I had to give their gummies a try—for science, of course.
First up, the Peach Bellini Mood Gummies. These little nuggets of fruity goodness boast 10mg of Delta 9 THC and 10mg of CBD per gummy. According to Extract Labs, these gummies should deliver a “wave of delicious relaxation” and brighten your day. I’m assuming they mean the day-brightening that doesn’t involve shouting at the delivery guy for leaving your package in the rain. After popping one of these, I’ll admit, there was a moment of bliss. The peach flavor was surprisingly authentic, reminiscent of those overpriced Bellinis you order at brunch to feel fancy. But instead of a bubbly kick, these pack a gentle haze that makes even your neighbor’s off-key karaoke feel tolerable. The relaxation wave? Oh, it’s there. It’s more of a “gently nudged into a comfy chair” vibe than a tsunami. A second gummy, however, and you’ll likely be the Zen master of your couch, solving the world’s problems one Netflix episode at a time.
Next, I tried the Blackberry Hibiscus Sleep Gummies, and let me tell you, these things are the adult version of a bedtime story. Each gummy has a trifecta of 30mg CBD, 10mg CBN, and 5mg Delta 9 THC, supposedly designed to whisk you off to dreamland. The flavor? Imagine if your favorite herbal tea turned into candy—not bad, but definitely on the “subtle” side. I don’t know about you, but my usual sleep routine involves doom-scrolling until my brain short-circuits. So, I was curious to see if these gummies could override that charming habit. I’ll admit, about 30 minutes after taking one, I felt a curtain of calm drape over me. Stress? Who’s she? The real test came when I fell asleep without my usual existential wrestling match. And, shocker, I woke up without that “I was hit by a truck” feeling. However, be warned: these are not your “I’ll just take one and stay semi-functional” kind of gummies. Unless you’re prepared to be horizontal, proceed with caution.
Finally, there’s the THCV Energy Gummies, allegedly the holy grail for productivity. These citrus-flavored gems come loaded with 10mg of THCV and 10mg of CBD each. Perfect for when your to-do list resembles a dystopian novel. I popped one of these, expecting a gentle nudge into alertness. What I got was…confusion. Sure, the citrus flavor was pleasant enough, like a distant cousin of a grapefruit, but the “boost” felt more like someone shouting, “You can do it!” from across the street than a real energy surge. Maybe I was expecting too much, like becoming a human dynamo ready to tackle life. Instead, it’s more of a “You might check one box off your list, but you’re stopping for a snack” situation. It’s not bad, but it’s probably not replacing your morning coffee anytime soon.
The VerdictCBD gummies are like your favorite pair of stretchy pants: comforting, versatile, and perfect for days when life doesn’t make sense. Whether you’re a newbie looking for a gentle introduction or a seasoned pro chasing stronger effects, there’s a gummy with your name on it. Just remember—start slow, savor the flavor, and let the calm take over. And maybe keep the Delta 9s for days when you’re really ready to chill.
