Well, chocolate has caffeine and theobromine, another compound which also may be a stimulant.

We performed a double blind cross over clinical trial and found you need a much higher dose than what is on the market to be effective. We also found that terpenes added to the CBD are essential. CBD isolate is also a must, this ensures that there is ZERO THC and does not have any other unknown cannabinoids. We agree with Dr. Ryan Vandrey- research and trials are key to knowing what works and why.

Before turning to drugs, try turning on your blue light filter and get accumulated to a higher amber phone light. (Turn it off only when looking at potential purchases for a clear perception in its color).

The problem is dosage, 50mg is nothing and from what I’ve heard people think that’s a regular dose, lots of people take like 30mg.
When I have sleep issues I take 200-300 mg of CBD and it works wonders.
First time my friend told me to take 200mg I was with him in his car and we had 35 minutes of driving to our city.
I took it thinking nothing would happen but after 20 minutes my head was falling down I was so sleepy and o remember sleeping 10 hours that night.
Try higher dose, everything under 1200mg is safe but do your own research to make sure.
I even took 500mg many times and never felt anything bad, but I am 228 pounds heavy, .
Don’t take one gummy and say “oh it doesn’t work “ CBD is safe

Don’t do caffeine after 2 pm that can help

What a terrible coverage on CBD and using it as a sleep aid. It did not once go over types of CBD or how to properly ask bud tenders on what type should be used to help you fall asleep

Can we really expect a network TV show with endless big pharma med commercials going to be real? Let's wait till big pharma & western sickcare system vet / approve a natural better products, good luck with that...we all know how big pharma kept medical Marijuana down.
