With over 100 extracts, cannabinoids provide organic support for a variety of physiological ailments. In addition to the powerful ability to reduce physical pain, therapeutic benefits of cannabinoids include better sleep, hormone balance, increased energy, anxiety reduction, stress management, enhanced focus, and elevated mood. Thus, it makes sense why so many are dropping their prescription medications for cannabis. But if you’ve never tried it before or only use it for a single purpose, where do you even start? 🤔
Benefits of cannabinoids
Because Cloud City Supply prides itself on customer education, we encourage cannabis users to explore beyond their usual go-to products. While many are brought into our store for the first time by a primary concern (e.g., nerve pain, headaches, poor sleep), they are delighted to discover that hemp products have much more to offer. Research on cannabinoids is still underway, but has already confirmed them effective as antiemetic aids, natural pain relief, and a potential solution for multiple sclerosis (MS)-related spasticity. As trusted advisors to the Cloud City community, we find joy in helping you navigate all that our premium cannabis products have to offer when combined, an experience more formally known as the entourage effect.
Out of all the cannabinoids, we like to start folks off with the entourage effect trio: cannabidiol (CBD), cannabigerol (CBG), and cannabinol (CBN). Each performs differently from its counterparts. However, when combined, these three compounds produce a synergistic effect that will have you feeling like your best self, all the time. So, if you’re ready to get on top of your health this summer, read on! Cloud City has everything you need to achieve all of your wellness goals.
Unpacking the entourage effect: When to take CBN, CBG, & CBD
To experience the entourage effect, you’ll want to leverage these three complementary cannabis extracts at different times throughout the day.
CBN (Cannabinol)
Our first order of business is to sync your body with nature’s clock, or in other words, regulating your circadian rhythm. Your circadian rhythm, or internal clock, regulates various physiological functions, including sleep patterns, hormone release, and metabolism. Without proper sleep, these physiological functions are impaired, and this impairment has a domino effect that can manifest in various ways. Thus, quality sleep is a non-negotiable, as it lays the groundwork for your overall health.
Cannabinol is particularly useful for those who have trouble getting to or staying asleep throughout the night. If you have insomnia or experience frequent sleep disturbances, CBN can help. While CBN provides a relaxing sensation that can be applied to more than just sleep (such as after a heated argument or during times of high stress), its most popular use is to improve sleep patterns and quality. For this reason, it’s most commonly used as a bedtime approach.
CBG (Cannabigerol)
Although cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabidiol (CBD) can be used for similar purposes, CBG is generally helpful for starting your day with a boost of energy and enhanced focus. Of course, if you need that boost later in the day to prep for a big meeting or stay focused through a long task, the same applies. CBG is often referred to as the mother of all cannabinoids and has become a morning wellness staple for overwhelmed parents and people with busy work schedules alike.
CBD (Cannabidiol)
On that note, while CBD provides many similar effects to both CBD and CBG, it’s especially useful for managing both stress and inflammation. As such, it makes the perfect pick-me-up to get you out of that post-lunch slump.
CBD is becoming a popular social tonic as more and more Americans seek healthier alternatives to alcohol and tobacco. Unlike alcohol, CBD does not contain psychoactive properties. Yet, it still offers an energy boost, boosts self-esteem, and promotes relaxation to help overcome social anxiety. That said, CBD’s healing effects make it suitable for use at any time of day.
