"Full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, isolate, oil tinctures, gummies, flower, salves, bath bombs, chocolates - you name it, I’ve tried it," she says. She took two of these high-potency gummies (6,000 mg) every morning after breakfast for two weeks. Initially, she experimented by taking four, two in the morning and two at night, but didn’t sleep well. "I felt very calm and in a good mood though!

After that, she stuck with morning use and noticed a steady lift in her mood. "These gummies definitely helped manage my stress and anxiety! The gummies don’t contain THC, but she was impressed by their strength. "The most notable feature is the high potency. I don’t think I’ve ever tried such a strong CBD gummy before. I’m sure it had something (if not everything) to do with how well they worked! Flavor-wise, she didn’t love them at first. "The first time I tried it, I was very turned off by the strong aftertaste and bite in the back of my throat," she says. "As time went on, I got used to it and even started to enjoy the flavor. It didn’t taste hemp-y at all." She also liked the chewy texture and noted the scent reminded her of cherry cough syrup. While she found the effects long-lasting and more consistent than other gummies, Morgan did mention the price.

Tester Marie Rosales has had anxiety for as long as she can remember, and insomnia since separating from the military. However, treating her insomnia has been more challenging. Marie hoped NuLeaf would help with both anxiety and sleeplessness. She took 2 gummies, 30 mg every night, 1 to 2 hours before bedtime for a week straight. She said it felt "equivalent to having a glass of wine to wind down after a long day, without the buzz feeling." The gummies did not make Marie drowsy, but within 30 to 45 minutes after taking them, she felt ready to just lay in bed.

"I have a routine to help prepare me for sleep: turning off all electronics 1 to 2 hours before bed, and I either meditate, focus on my breathing, or read a book if my mind is too distracted. Since taking the gummies, this really helps in getting me to my goal of sleeping on time, or putting me in a relaxed state of mind. I hold a lot of tension in my shoulders and in my body," Christy said. "I try to remedy this with exercise and deep breathing, but sometimes taking CBD is the additional push to get my body to chill! The first Friday night, I stayed up until 1 a.m. Though the gummies are pricey, Aspen Green offers various discounts.
