Welcome to Sleep Awareness Month! Yes, cannabis can help immensely.
During the month of March the National Sleep Foundation takes this time to emphasize the important connections made between your health and how much sleep you get. Deep, rejuvenating sleep is what your body needs to live life to the fullest. Sleep plays a vital role in your overall health throughout your life, and getting enough sleep is seemingly one of the most prevalent issues in most peoples’ lives today.
Working in the Cannabis Industry, the most heard phrase in a dispensary is “What can help me sleep?” Whether that be an edible with added CBN, or an Indica heavy flower strain; most likely the dispensary has many options to choose from. At Seaside Cannabis Co., we focus on cannabis education as well as providing more options for certain ailments; one of them being– lack of sleep. From tinctures to flower, there are plenty of options to try to get some better and well rounded sleep.
At Seaside Cannabis Co., our most popular selling sleep item is a gummy produced by Coast Cannabis Co. that has 5mg THC, 5mg CBD, and 5mg CBN. Most users have said that this combination of cannabinoids as well as the THC really helps them fall into a deep sleep. If someone finds that the gummy isn’t working well for them, likely they should try another company’s sleep edible. Sometimes the ratios may be the same, but each company formulates their edibles differently.
Another popular seller at Seaside Cannabis Co. has been the well known sleep aid, Bedtime Betty’s Lemon Agave flavor with added Melatonin. More and more companies in the industry have been adding small amounts of Melatonin to their sleep aids, and finding that the addition of such has helped lots of people find a good night’s sleep. On the other hand, some people have an adverse reaction to Melatonin and find that it gives them a groggy feeling the next morning. That being said, having the option of a sleep aid having melatonin as well as some not including the melatonin makes it more widely available for consumers.
No luck with edibles? Try some flower if that’s your preferred way of consuming! Some of the strains we have here at Seaside Cannabis Co. that provide the most relaxing effects are Wedding Cake, Cherry Pie OG, and Amoretto Sour.
Starting with Wedding Cake, not only does this strain usually produce a high amount of THC, but it also produces natural cannabinoids that help your body recognize that it’s time to sleep. The dominant terpene in Wedding Cake is Caryophyllene, which is a terpene that has medicinal properties that have been shown to help with elevating mood, stress relief, and treatment of pain which makes it a perfect contender to help you drift off to sleep…
If you’re interested in learning about more terpenes… keep an eye out for Terpene Tuesdays where each week starting in April a new terpene is highlighted and explained as well as showcasing products that Seaside Cannabis Co. carries will make your shopping experience much smoother!
Now, back to flower… Cherry Pie OG is a strain produced by Suncrafted Cannabis Co., and this strain is known for its heavily sedating effects as well as terpenes that focus toward inflammation and treatment of stress. We all know life gets more stressful when you don’t get adequate amounts of sleep! Cherry Pie OG has high THC content as well as a high terpene content, so you’re not only getting the benefits of the THC, but also the benefits of the terpenes and their medicinal properties.
The last strain to highlight is the ever-so-delicious Amoretto Sour, produced by 253 Organics.
“Amoretto Sour offers a well-rounded set of effects that can be both relaxing and invigorating. It typically starts with a cerebral uplift, inducing a sense of euphoria and mental clarity. Many users report feeling creative and focused, making it suitable for engaging in artistic pursuits or deep conversations. As the high progresses, a gentle wave of relaxation washes over the body, relieving any tension or physical discomfort. This blend of mental and physical effects can contribute to a balanced and enjoyable experience.”
Overall, sleep is super important for your overall health and well-being, and any way we can help showcase any of our products that aid in sleep we are more than willing to!
