3 Women In The CBD Industry Share Their Tips And Product Recommendations For Sleep

Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you I’m one of the last people they’d expect to get excited about CBD or cannabis products. It’s not because I’m anti or judge anyone who uses them — you do you! It’s simply been one of those categories that feels like another “thing” I don’t necessarily need to add to my already convoluted daily regimen. In fact, I’m working to streamline my life: from the products I use, to the food I eat, and the clothing I wear (I’m morphing into quite the minimalist these days and it feels truly liberating). Despite not being an avid user of CBD or cannabis (the one product I’ve tried is this Wildflower Healing Stick from Poplar for menstrual cramps, which felt super tingly and did help to alleviate pain), the buzz surrounding the industry is certainly unavoidable, and I’ve actually become curious about one topic in particular: sleep.

I’ve always been a night owl and often struggle to fall asleep before midnight, one, sometimes two a.m., yet I haven’t explored products that can help lull me to sleep. Why? I don’t know. Perhaps out of laziness or my aforementioned disinterest in becoming reliant upon another “thing.” I am, however, curious about whether CBD products are right for me when it comes to improving my sleep patterns. Since I haven’t tried any for myself, I sought out some advice from women who not only work in the CBD and cannabis industry but can speak to products they personally use and recommend for sleep, which range from tinctures and capsules to bath salts, topical lotions, salves, and patches — even gummies and small shot drinks.

Ahead, keep reading for some key takeaways I learned after speaking to Amanda Denz and Andrea Brooks, co-founders of Sava, a San Francisco-based company offering a curated assortment of CBD and cannabis products (they also offer discreet delivery services in the SF area). I also spoke with Laura Peters, a holistic nutritionist and product specialist for ShopCBD. Then, scroll on for their CBD product recommendations for sleep.

What To Know Before Buying Your Mom CBD For The Holidays

So you want to buy your mom CBD gummies for Christmas. Get educated first. Image: Getty Images/iStockphoto By Brittany Levine Beckman 2019-11-30 14:00:00 UTC There may only be 12 days of Christmas, but there are approximately 12 million CBD products trying to capture your attention. And most of them you shouldn’t buy. It’s hard enough to get a handle on what CBD will actually do for you . Picking which product to buy amid the plethora of options — which face little to no regulation — adds an extra layer of difficulty. Then there’s the wrinkle of buying CBD as a gift. Any time you use a CBD product, you’re basically acting as a guinea pig. When you buy CBD for your mom for Christmas, you’re treating her as one, too. As Martin Lee, the director of CBD advocacy group Project CBD says, “There’s good-quality products, and there’s a lot of crap out there.” Here are eight things to keep in mind while shopping for CBD this holiday season. 1. Consider what you want the CB...

New York City Adds More Exceptions To Pre-Employment Marijuana Testing Ban

An ambitious campaign to decriminalize psychedelics in Washington, D.C., is one step closer to placing their measure on the November ballot with the formal submission of tens of thousands of voter signatures. Organizers have been scrambling for weeks to collect enough signatures from D.C. voters by Monday’s deadline amid historically difficult circumstances: a global pandemic, months of stay-at-home orders and protests over racism and police violence that filled the streets of the nation’s capital. But with the help of innovative signature-gathering techniques and allies flown in from across the country, advocates said they had successfully submitted upwards of 35,000 signatures—more than enough to qualify the initiative. If approved by voters, Initiative 81 would make enforcement of laws against plant- and fungus-based psychedelics among the “lowest law enforcement priorities” for the Metropolitan Police Department. It would not, however, legalize or reduce penalties for the subs...

Mississippi Medical Marijuana Activists Relieved After Controversial Legalization Resolution Stalls Out

Only a day after a new marijuana decriminalization law took effect in Virginia, top state lawmakers are announcing that they’re already looking ahead to full legalization. A group of Democratic legislators on Thursday announced plans to introduce a bill to legalize and regulate a commercial cannabis market in the state. While the measure isn’t set to be filed until next year, lawmakers framed legalization as necessary in the fight for social and racial justice. “Decriminalizing marijuana is an important step in mitigating racial disparities in the criminal justice system, but there is still much work to do,” House Majority Leader Charniele Herring (D) said in a press release. “While marijuana arrests across the nation have decreased, arrests in Virginia have increased.” Other lawmakers backing the broader legalization push include Sens. Adam Ebbin (D) and Jennifer McClellan (D), as well as Del. Steve Heretick (D). On Wednesday, the state’s new marijuana decriminalization policy t...
