PLUS Gummies: Fall Asleep, Stay Asleep, and Wake Up Refreshed

Originally published by PLUS Products.

It’s reported that 1 in 5 adults in the United States suffer from a sleep disorder (Ford et al., 2015). So it’s not surprising that one of the top products people look for when they walk into a dispensary is something to help them sleep.

Using the latest, cutting-edge science, PLUS dreamed up two new gummies to help people solve that challenge. Recent research highlights the interplay between cannabis, our endocannabinoid system, and our body’s natural circadian rhythm (Hodges et al., 2019; Antony et al., 2020; Hanlon et al., 2020). Guided by the latest findings, we crafted two new Sleep gummies with a specific chemistry precisely designed to promote a restful, well-rounded night of sleep.

Three components of a great night of sleep are falling asleep quickly, staying asleep longer, and waking up feeling refreshed (Am Psych Assoc, 2013). To make sure our PLUS gummies effectively addressed each one of these components, we crafted a blend of three cannabinoids (THC, CBN and CBD), and a proprietary blend of sleep terpenes to create a product that would address each of these components and provide a well-rounded night of sleep (Carlini et al., 1981; Zhdanova et al., 2001; Nicholson et al., 2004; Ferracioli-Oda et al., 2018; Hergenrather et al., 2020).

Each cannabinoid was selected for the particular roles it plays in promoting better sleep, but together they are greater than the sum of their parts, a synergistic result known as the entourage effect.

Meet the Lineup of PLUS Gummies

We at PLUS are proud to introduce two new Sleep products. Why two? We know there are different types of cannabis users, those who are more experienced with a higher tolerance for THC and those who are just getting started. We also know there are a range of issues that cause difficulty sleeping, and our products are designed to give consumers the option to tailor their experience to their specific needs. Like all PLUS products, these gummies are handmade by our team of experts in our state-of-the art manufacturing facility. We also wanted to make a healthier sleep-focused edible that would be great for bedtime, so our products use all natural flavors and colors, and are low in sugar and calories, with only 0.7g of sugar and 5 calories per piece.

Meet the lineup:

PLUS Sleep Cloudberry: With a higher THC to CBD and CBN ratio for a greater psychoactive effect, Sleep Cloudberry is ideal for more experienced users. The 5mg THC to 1mg CBN to 1mg CBD ratio can help soothe the aches and pains that may interfere with a restful night of sleep.

PLUS CBNRelief Lychee: A higher CBD and CBN to THC ratio, CBNRelief Lychee is great for newer or therapeutic cannabis users. With 1mg THC, 2mg of CBN and 3mg of CBD, this gummy may help calm a racing mind from everyday stress and anxiety to help you drift off more easily.
