I tried the highest CBD dose you can intake — here’s how it went

Counting sheep is a moot point when you have a great alternative on your hands. 

Before you go anywhere thinking you already know the deal with CBD, think again. You don’t. Not unless you’ve tried Cornbread Hemp.

With promises of tranquility and relaxation dancing across headlines and blurting from the mouths of your family and friends for years now, CBD has become a hard topic to ignore. I managed to for several years, but the opportunity finally came to try Cornbread Hemp, a brand with an exceptional reputation, impressive ingredients, home-grown history, and full-spectrum hemp (CBD and low THC). And, as we all know, a job is a job. So, I began my assignment with (somewhat) an open mind and a decent amount of sleep and pain issues to address.

More specifically, I was armed with CBD Sleep Gummies in 1500mg and 750mg, a CBD Balm, and a CBD Lotion with Menthol and ready to see if these products could deliver on their tantalizing promises.

I’d be remiss not to mention off the bat that you can use the code SUMMERSAVE at checkout to save 20% off of gummies and 30% off of topicals like balms and lotions — but only for a limited time. Now let’s see if it’s worth it…

I started with the CBD Sleep Gummies because, honestly, whose priority isn’t to sleep like a baby? The 1500mg pack was calling my name with promises of serene nights and deep slumber. I popped one of those bad boys before bed, and let me tell you, within 20 minutes it was like someone hit the dimmer switch on my brain. I melted into my mattress and drifted off faster than you can say “Cornbrea—.”

The 750mg version was no slouch either. While not as potent as its big brother, it still delivered a lovely, gentle push towards dreamland. It’s perfect for those nights when you just need a nudge rather than a full-on shove into sleep.

These sleep gummies combine full-spectrum hemp extract with organic ingredients like strawberry, valerian root, chamomile, and lavender, 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.

Strengths: 1500mg and 750mg

Next up is the CBD Balm. I like to think of it as a little tin of wizardry. My muscles and I are not always on speaking terms, especially after a long day of pretending to be athletic. Enter the balm, with its soothing powers and delightful scent. It’s like a spa day for your skin, minus the awkward small talk with a masseuse.

Rubbing this balm on my sore spots felt like I was giving my muscles a pep talk. “You can do it, guys!” And they responded by relaxing and letting go of all that tension. I’m not saying it’s a miracle worker, but my shoulders definitely stopped screaming at me.

This balm features a potent blend of full-spectrum hemp extract and organic plant-based ingredients like arnica, peppermint oil, and shea butter. Arnica is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, helping to soothe sore muscles, while peppermint oil provides a cooling sensation. The shea butter helps the balm to glide smoothly over the skin, locking in moisture and allowing the CBD to provide deep, long-lasting relief.

Last but not least, we have the CBD Lotion. I’m picky about lotions. Some are too greasy, some are too smelly, but this one? It’s just right. The texture is silky without making me feel like I’ve been slimed, and the scent is subtle enough not to compete with my cologne.

Applying this lotion became my little moment of zen. It’s like treating my skin to a quiet afternoon tea. The CBD infusion did wonders for keeping my skin calm and collected, even when life was anything but.

The Cornbread Hemp CBD lotion combines full-spectrum hemp extract with organic, skin-loving ingredients like coconut oil and jojoba oil. The CBD works in tandem with these oils to penetrate the skin and deliver moisture while reducing inflammation. Aloe vera and vitamin E are also included to soothe and protect the skin, making it feel refreshed and revitalized without leaving a greasy residue.

The verdict

Cornbread Hemp, you’ve won me over. Your products deliver exactly what they promise: sweet sleep, muscle magic, and skin salvation. Whether you’re a CBD veteran or a curious newbie, these products are worth a try. Just remember to keep them out of reach of overly curious pets — or roommates — who might mistake them for a snack.

And the best part? Right now, when you checkout using the promo code SUMMERSAVE you can save 20% off of gummies of any strength and 30% off of topicals, be they lotions, balms, or oils.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a gummy with my name on it and a date with my pillow. Sweet dreams!
