3 Reasons To Swap Your Regular Coffee For CBD-Infused Coffee

cbd infused coffee

cbd infused coffee

If you’re anything like the Cloud City Supply family, a fresh cup of coffee in the mornings is an essential part of your daily routine. Between the comfort of the warmth and unique aroma, and of course the most important part: the effects of the caffeine, it’s the key to starting your day off right. However, real coffee connoisseurs everywhere want to know how they can hack this morning ritual to sustain optimal wellness and productivity throughout the day. Enter: CBD-infused coffee.

 

Why should I swap my coffee for CBD-infused coffee?

CBD is becoming a common ingredient not only in skincare and wellness products, but also in food and beverages. Science and research are finding that the therapeutic benefits this compound offers can be used in a number of ways to enhance a number of different aspects of your overall well-being. In this blog, we’ll give you three reasons to justify swapping your regular morning coffee for CBD-infused coffee for an elevated morning routine.

 

Balance

All coffee drinkers know the feeling of caffeine overload. On those mornings when it’s more difficult than usual to pull yourself out of bed and face that mounting to-do list, an extra cup seems like the remedy you need. Then all of a sudden you’re hyper-anxious and shaking from caffeine jitters. As a result, your beloved brew ends up having the opposite effect of what you intended, because you can do anything but focus. 

 

This is one of the biggest reasons CBD-infused coffee is a better alternative to your typical Starbucks order. CBD-infused coffee strikes the perfect balance between alertness and calm, making it an ideal gateway to a productive flow. CBD is known for its non-psychoactive calming effects on the mind and body. When combined with coffee, it counteracts the unwanted potential side effects of caffeine to maintain a mellow mood with a sharpened focus.

 

Combats common digestive issues

Although you love your coffee, we’re sure you’ve experienced another of its unwanted side effects aside from caffeine jitters. Whether it causes acid reflux or an upset stomach, the beverage rarely sits well with anyone. However, due to its anti-inflammatory properties that relax the gastrointestinal tract, CBD saves the day yet again.

 

Health and wellness benefits

In addition to the above, CBD offers a range of health and wellness benefits for your stress-inducing workday. Its growing reputation is credited to its effectiveness for stress and anxiety and relief for physical pain and discomfort.  

 

Conclusion

Incorporating CBD-infused coffee into your morning routine also gives your overall well-being an extra boost of support. Thanks to its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties, CBD + coffee = the perfect pairing. Try this trial size trio of Buddha Beans’ Burundi, Colombia, and Mexico blends if you want to start small, and full-sized bags for each after you fall in love. Oh, and don’t forget to stop by our CBD store in Campbell, CA for your free sample. We brew every Sunday morning! See you soon!

Why Cannabis For Seniors Is A Growing Geriatric Trend

Why Cannabis For Seniors Is A Growing Geriatric Trend

Did you know senior citizens are the fastest-growing age group in cannabis consumers? A 2018 study by the University of Michigan revealed a concerning shortage between geriatric psychiatrists and seniors in need of help navigating their mental health in their final stages of life. Coincidentally, cannabis has proven useful in helping to close the gap.

Why more seniors are turning to cannabis

As we age many shifts occur. Our bodies become frailer, our metabolism slows down, we develop medical problems that require daily treatment, and our brains shrink due to chronic inflammation. Consequently, these changes can bring on a set of physiological conditions often referred to as the “nuisances of aging” like insomnia, physical pain, dementia, depression, and existential anxiety. In a recent episode of the CNN series Chasing Life hosted by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, we learn how medical professionals are endorsing the medical and recreational use of cannabis for seniors impacted by these conditions.

Although the sale and use of cannabis still hang in legal limbo and therefore lack general safety guidelines across the board, more and more geriatric doctors are encouraging their patients to experiment with cannabis when they don’t respond well to pharmaceuticals. However, the challenge is that because data and research are still unfolding, consumers must assume responsibility for their own personal safety. Doctors advise patients wanting to experiment with medical cannabis for pain management, reducing inflammation, improving sleep quality, appetite stimulation, or soothing anxiety to consider their current mobility and how the compound might interact with other medications they are taking.

What to know about cannabis for the senior well-being

The best approach is to find a reputable dispensary with trustworthy budtenders who can make personalized recommendations on what types of products to try and how to start low and go slow with dosage. Medical cannabis is most ideal for end-of-life patients who don’t need to worry about being overly sedated while driving, walking, etc. What’s more, the biggest risk if too much THC is ingested is that the individual is stuck stoned for a few hours.

While the benefits of cannabis for seniors’ well-being are intriguing, it’s important to approach its use with caution and mindfulness. Every individual’s health profile is unique, and what works for one person can have a totally different effect on another. We recommend seniors considering cannabis for their wellness regimen first consult their healthcare providers and then seek products from reputable sources. When used responsibly and under proper guidance, cannabis can offer a natural alternative aid for managing pain, inflammation, sleep issues, mood disorders, and appetite concerns. As society continues to move towards embracing the medicinal potential of the plant, seniors have the opportunity to explore a new avenue in their quest for a healthier, more comfortable life.

Finding your trusted sources

Cloud City Supply is proud to be a trusted resource for seniors in the South Bay who are curious about cannabis and the wonderful therapeutic benefits it has to offer. Our staff is not only knowledgeable but enthusiastic about helping customers identify tailored solutions to manage symptoms and supplement their mental health. Because of the stigma that has surrounded both cannabis and mental health for decades, a lifetime of trauma can consume one’s final stages of life with despair. Nevertheless, cannabis has the powerful potential to reframe existential crises to help users age with integrity instead.

Party With Us For Cloud City Supply’s 2nd Birthday

Party With Us For Cloud City Supply's 2nd Birthday

This month marks an important moment in Cloud City Supply’s history. It’s officially our second birthday! To celebrate, we’re giving you an inside look into our origins and how our brand was born.

 

The void that needed to be filled

Before the owner of Cloud City founded this award-winning Silicon Valley CBD Store, she searched tirelessly for a natural remedy for her debilitating sleep and anxiety issues. Covid-19 pandemic restrictions were shifting, and the cannabis industry was still gaining momentum in the South Bay. Amy Taylor had previously been introduced to different forms of cannabis, but had a hard time identifying solutions that worked as health aids that didn’t come with overwhelming psychoactive side effects.

Her initial research would include visits to three different dispensaries that gave way to varied outcomes. The first shop sold her an edible that had way too high of a THC concentration level. Though she enjoyed the experience, Amy knew this wasn’t a sustainable solution if she wanted to be able to function throughout the day. At the second, she was greeted by budtenders who were equally as unconcerned with helping clientele as they were uninformed about the products they were selling. The third time had to be the charm though, right?

 

Relief at last

Finally, she found the CBD-based help she was looking for at the third dispensary she visited. But for a less-determined individual, Amy knew the slim possibility of making it this far. Having to jump through hoops would have turned the average customer off forever, and she knew so many people who could benefit from the relief she did eventually find with CBD. Thus, she decided she would be the one to fill the void between great products and sophisticated customer service.

Amy opened Cloud City Supply in downtown Campbell, California in the summer of 2021. In such an uncertain time, her mission was to connect those in need to personalized solutions by educating her customers in an inviting space. Not only do Cloud City employees take the time to recommend products according to each client’s individual needs, but they also provide detailed instructions on how to use each one before letting anyone leave the store. In the short two years it’s been in operation, the store has established itself as a reputable brand for quality CBD products. The Cloud City Supply staff has built a tight-knit community based on the trusting relationships they have with their customers. In addition to being recognized by Mercury News as the Best CBD Store in the South Bay, Cloud City has enjoyed immersing itself into the downtown Campbell community by hosting several events including educational seminars, the Sunday farmers market, the Bunnies & Bonnets parade, Wine Walks, an annual community Blood Drive, and more.

 

Celebrate with us!

This year we’re celebrating Cloud City Supply’s second birthday with a FREE event at our brick-and-mortar in downtown Campbell. Join us for mouthwatering bites by local food vendors, music by a live DJ, a raffle, and of course, a champagne toast to commemorate our growth and the special community we have to thank for it. 

Oh, and we also have great specials going on all week, both in-store and online. Check out the event details below and pencil us into your calendar for this Saturday. RSVP here to save your spot!

What Our Top 3 Best-Selling Products Say About Us

What Our Top 3 Best Selling Products Say About Us

In March of 2023, Mercury News named Cloud City Supply as the Best CBD Store in all of Silicon Valley. Curious shoppers may wonder: what did we do to earn such an esteemed reputation?

 

The Cloud City Supply brand is built on two important factors that guide our every move:

  1. Offering quality CBD products that are not only safe but equally as effective.
  2. Making educational resources and opportunities to learn about CBD accessible to our community.

 

In everything we do we hold ourselves to the highest standards. Whether it’s selecting the products we sell, choosing brands to collaborate with, or the interactions we have with our consumers, our goal is to equip you with the knowledge and information you need to make informed choices about how you choose to supplement your health. The easiest way to understand who we are and how we can help you level up your wellness practice is by learning about the products we offer that have earned the loyalty of CBD connoisseurs across the South Bay and put Cloud City Supply on the map as a trusted source for CBD products. Without further ado, let’s go over three of our best-selling products and how they represent the very essence of Cloud City Supply.

 

Cloud City Supply’s Best-Selling Products:

 

Intensive Relief Rub

 

If you live an active lifestyle or suffer from muscle aches or joint pain, our Intensive CBD Relief Rub is a convenient solution you can take with you anywhere you go for instant topical relief. It’s concentrated with 2000mg of CBD that’s blended with Emu Oil and other power ingredients that work diligently to alleviate pain and discomfort caused by strenuous workouts, menstrual cramps, and health conditions that give way to sensations of physical pain. The Emu Oil in this magical ingredient cocktail allows the product to penetrate the skin 2-4 times deeper than other types of oil, guaranteeing efficacy with each and every use.

 

What Intensive Relief Rub says about Cloud City Supply:

At Cloud City Supply, we believe multiple truths can coexist. As a credible source for CBD products in Northern California, we pride ourselves on identifying solutions that are as realistic as they are idealistic. Not only do our products deliver palpable results, but they’re also non-toxic, meaning you can rest assured they won’t come with any harmful side effects. When you shop with us you can have the best of both worlds!

 

Sleep Support Drops

 

When was the last time you had a hard time falling asleep due to a racing mind or physical discomfort? For many, this is a constant, inescapable experience. If you struggle with conditions that affect your sleep cycle regularly such as insomnia, depression, or anxiety, then our Sleep Support Drops are the remedy you need. When you’re in a disconcerted state, it’s nearly impossible to relax. Therefore, it’s important to learn what you can do to support yourself to get the restful night’s sleep you deserve.

CBN is a cannabinoid – or an extracted compound from the cannabis plant – that interacts with your body’s endocannabinoid system to regulate physiological functions such as breathing, temperature, mood, and sleep. The extract is widely known in the health and wellness industry for the therapeutic benefits it furnishes for those who wrestle with sleep and relaxation challenges. Its sedative, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and neuroprotective properties promote calmness and facilitate your mind and body into a state of tranquility. Cloud City Supply’s Sleep Support Drops contain 1000mg of CBN, aka the perfect addition to your nighttime routine. Swap counting sheep for this sublingual tincture to experience the best sleep you’ve ever had.

 

What Sleep Support Drops say about Cloud City Supply:

Cloud City is a huge advocate for sleep. Regular, quality sleep is essential to your body’s overall function and well-being. While you’re asleep, your cells work hard to repair damage and recover from inevitable stressors from the day. These Sleep Support Drops not only improve the quality of your sleep but also help to regulate your Circadian Rhythm, which has a massive influence on your ability to cultivate a healthy lifestyle.

 

Premium Cloud City Coffee

 

Did you know CBD is a beneficial supplement to your morning dose of caffeine?

Whether you’re a coffee lover or prefer a cup of matcha instead, adding CBD to your caffeine can drastically improve its lasting effects on the rest of your day. When you use Cloud City Supply’s Premium CBD Coffee, we guarantee you’ll look forward to waking up in the mornings to start your day with this liquid treat. Not only does it reduce caffeine jitters, but it also helps sustain your energy levels and refine your focus throughout the day. Set yourself up for success with our unique blend of fair-trade beans from Colombia and Ethiopia, strategically infused with premium CBD. This double-origin blend contains rich notes of sweet berries and smooth chocolate.

 

What Premium Cloud City Coffee says about us:

Cloud City Supply promotes making healthy living accessible to all by providing nourishing alternative aids for daily necessities- like your morning coffee. We encourage you to lean on us to find new, innovative ways to upgrade your personal health journey while avoiding risks of any undue harm.

 

Conclusion:

As a part of our mission to educate consumers on how to use CBD safely and properly for the best possible effects, we encourage you to visit our store to meet with us face-to-face so we can assist you with your specific needs, address your questions and concerns, and make personalized recommendations tailored just for you.
