I get A LOT of questions about CBD.  Every time I post an Instagram story about my journey with stress, anxiety and sleep, CBD comes up. I’ve regularly relied on melatonin and over-the-counter sleep aids which leave me feeling groggy the next day.  Truth is I have had a rocky relationship with CBD products. Honestly, they made me edgy, the opposite of relaxed. I recently tested two of Cornbread Hemp’s products: Blueberry Breeze THC Gummies and CBD Sleep Gummies. It has been about two weeks since I started the line and it truly has impacted me in a big way.

Yet, CBD is still one big mystery for most.

I wanted to put together a blog post all about CBD and why I love taking it, so you can decide for yourself if it is right for you.  I also want to try and educate around the topic and hope to answer some common questions I receive.

Let’s dive in.

So, what is CBD?

The most common question I always get about CBD is if it makes you high. And if you can take it if your company drug tests. Yes, these are really questions and the answer is No!  Cornbread sources its products from hemp. It is important to note that not all CBD is made the same. 

CBD is a natural ingredient found in hemp flowers.  When it is taken consistently it is a powerful product that helps improve your impact on your mental and physical health.  There are SO many health benefits to taking CBD.  As it can help with focus, energy, skin, relief, balance, hormones, and sleep.

CBD works with your homeostasis system. When your hormones start to peak during a stressor, CBD can keep them level. When your melatonin kicks in at night, CBD will work with that as well to help you have a restful night of sleep.

CBD is growing in popularity for its ability to help support our bodies and well-being in several ways, including:

• Homeostasis (Balance)
• Mood
• Better Sleep
• Immune Function
• Digestion
• Energy & Focus
• Heart Health
• Neurological Support
• Skin Health
• Exercise Recovery

Cornbread Hemp has quickly become known for their hemp-derived CBD gummies and dedication to complete transparency. Their Kentucky operation employs a vertically-integrated operation system – they control every step of their supply chain, from plant cultivation to manufacturing and retail. Fun fact: Kentucky sits on the same longitude line as the Hindu Kush mountains of Asia, where cannabis strains originated.

Here’s the important part…

They’re also creating fully legal THC gummies. How you may ask? According to the Farm Bill that passed in 2018, Congress allowed the sale of hemp-derived THC edibles so long as they remained below the 0.3% THC limit.

BD, or cannabidiol, is a cannabis extract derived from hemp plants. Unlike THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, it’s not psychoactive, so it doesn’t make a user feel high; it’s used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain caused by inflammation.

Cornbread Hemp’s THC gummies weigh five grams and 0.3% of those five grams would put the legal limit at 15mg of THC —so their 10mg gummies are well within the legal range. 

Why I love Cornbread

Like many of you when I started hearing all the buzz around CBD with THC I was a little skeptical at first.

Whether you have tried CBD products in the past, or you are curious about trying them, Cornbread may have just what you are looking for.

They offer a variety of products with different compounds that provide specific relief as well as overall health improvements. From mood boosters to muscle soreness relief, to pert relief and sleep remedies.

How Cornbread Hemp is cultivating higher standards in CBD

In addition to strict adherence to legislation, they’re also validating each batch for quality with third-party testing. Every jar has a QR code that lets you access their COA (certificate of analysis) to see the full cannabinoid profile and levels of contaminants like pesticides, solvents, mycotoxins, and heavy metals.

It’s thistransparency that really makes Cornbread stand out from the competition. If you’ve found other CBD products simply aren’t doing you justice, we highly recommend giving Cornbread products a try.

My Personal experience

As mentioned, I had previously tried many different CBD products that didn’t help me at all, so I was going in a bit disillusioned.

I started with the CBD Sleep Gummies because, being in menopause, sleep is not my friend. The 1500mg formula promised a deep sleep with no hangover effect the next am.

I now take one 20 minutes before bed and fall asleep in seconds! After a few weeks, I realized that I had been gradually resting deeper and longer.

I tried the 750mg version too. It’s perfect for those nights when you just need a little help – you feel sleepy but want to make sure you stay sleep.

Cornbread Hemp Sleep Gummies, Strengths: 1500mg and 750mg

Cornbread Hemp’s CBD Gummies for Sleep are formulated with organic valerian root, chamomile, lavender, and full spectrum hemp flower — without the need for melatonin as an additional sleep aid. These ingredients work within the brain to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety to help you fall asleep and stay asleep, without the “hangover” feeling caused by melatonin.

I particularly appreciated that these gummies were melatonin-free. While it works for some, melatonin has always left me feeling groggy and full of brain fog the next day.

For me, I wanted to find more calm in my life.  Trying to juggle everything else that life throws my way was just making me feel all over the place.  I wanted to control my stress management and be able to really relax.  After just a few weeks, I noticed a change, My night sweats were gone, and so were the panic attacks I was experiencing off and on. I use a few apps to analyze my sleep patterns, and my scores confirmed that for the first time in years, I was actually getting some rest. (Like finally achieving optimal sleep status my Oura ring)!

THC gummies that are legal

Cornbread Hemp describes their THC gummies as a way to achieve “carefree moments” with feelings of “happiness, comfort, and warmth.” Each gummy is vegan, gluten free, and contains 10mg of accurately dosed THC that can be scaled up or down (from a half-gummy to two full gummies) according to your preference. 

I decided to try a single gummy on a day I was feeling very antsy. After about 30 minutes, I realized I was feeling much calmer and balanced.

Overall, it made for a great day, unbothered by my usual lifes stressors. Though my first experience was during the day, I found that I preferred to take this at night as a way to help transition from a long work day.

I found this THC gummy to be extremely effective. Whether you struggle with stress or anxiety, I cannot recommend Cornbread’s THC Gummies enough!

The key to efficacy – consistency

I was already aware that CBD is a tool that can be used to help navigate stress, anxiety, and chronic pain. But it wasn’t until sticking to a regular, consistent routine with a brand that prioritizes quality that I was able to experience it firsthand. 

With a USDA-organic certification, full transparency, and strict adherence to ever-changing regulations, it’s clear that Cornbread Hemp is committed to excellence— regularly going above and beyond what is expected in this industry rife with regulation issues and new products cropping up on the daily.

In conclusion….

If you’ve found your previous experiences with CBD just weren’t doing it or are simply looking for something new, I can’t recommend Cornbread enough.

For those looking to shop with Cornbread they offer a variety of ways to save on their products. Most notably, their bundle packages are a great way to purchase multiple products at once.
