Here lately, when we travel, I cannot sleep for anything. I may doze off for a few minutes but I wake right back up. It’s a cycle I go through every night of the trip and it’s exhausting! Once I’m back home I’m fine. It’s so aggravating. Even Full Spectrum CBD oil doesn’t really help me sleep throughout the night, although it does help calm me during the day, so I decided to try Delta 9 THC Gummies from Joy Organics to see if that will relax me enough to sleep through the night and wake up rested. The tincture, I will use during the day to keep my “social battery” up when spending so much time with others (we travel in a large group).
We had a trip coming up and I put them both to the test but, first, I tried them out here at home to see how I did and to get a feel for my serving size, before we traveled. I received and tested both Delta 9 THC Gummies & Full Spectrum Tincture with THC (from Joy Organics), however, my opinions in the post are my own. I had a feeling the gummies would really relax me enough to sleep.

I have no idea why I can’t sleep on vacation. The only thing I can think of is that I don’t want to miss anything and sleep the trip away, so then I don’t sleep at all. I guess I just get too wound up in my mind. I had never tried Delta 8 or Delta 9, so I chose to start with a tiny amount. The bottle says to start with half a gummy and then in 2 hours, see if you need the other half. I started with 1/4!
I used 1/4 of a gummy for 4 days, then tried 1/2, then a whole gummy Honestly, 1/4 didn’t do anything but 1/2 worked really well for the first couple days to get me used to using them. Within 2 hours of eating one I felt a slight “buzz” like when drinking a glass (or 2) of wine or a cocktail. It’s simply a calm and happy feeling. I’ve never been “high” so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this wasn’t what I thought. I just felt… relaxed. I did sleep pretty well on this trip! I think the gummy, taken 2 hours before bed, calmed my mind enough to let me relax into sleep. I’m happy with the results. (Joy Organics now has a line of CBD Sleep Gummies, with THC & Melatonin, that I want to try the next time we travel. I think those will work even better for me!)
A whole gummy, on the other hand, made me hyper. Not so much that I was fidgety, just talkative. It was strange, but CBD oil has a similar effect on me when taken in larger servings.
Per the CDC, 35% of all adults have issues with sleeping. 20% of adults have turned to natural supplements to help get a better night’s sleep.
As I mentioned, I’ve used Full Spectrum CBD Oil Tinctures in the past and those work 2 ways for me. A half dropper calms me while a full dropper energizes me and sometimes makes me anxious.
These products may not work the same way for you so always use with caution, do your own research and start with the minimal suggested serving size. I’m not a Dr. and this isn’t to be used as medical advice. I’m only sharing my own results.
The bottle says to swallow the serving. I choose to use the sublingual method, meaning, under the tongue. With any new brand, I always start with 1/2 a dropper and see how I feel. I placed 1/2 dropper under my tongue and held it there a few minutes, then swallowed the remaining tincture.
The taste is great! I’m using the Tropical Sunrise Organic Full Spectrum CBD Tincture with THC and the Fresh Lime flavor. Tropical Sunrise is fruity, kind of like a lemonade. There is a “green” taste. You definitely taste the CBD oil but it isn’t a bad taste. That’s another reason I prefer to use it under my tongue. You don’t taste it quite as much but still get all the benefits. Fresh Lime is my favorite with the Tropical Sunrise a close 2nd. The lime, in my opinion, covers the CBD taste a little better.
The CBD Oil is made with Organic MCT Oil, Organic Phytocannabinoid-Rich Hemp Extract, Organic Sunflower Oil, Natural Flavors, Organic Stevia.
The tincture, I wasn’t as worried about. I have used full spectrum CBD many times and know that 1/2 dropper, under the tongue, does well for me. I typically use that first thing in the morning to keep me calm on anxious days. So far, I’ve done perfect with both.
