Whether you need party favors or daily pain and stress management aids, CBD drinks are more than just a trend. They’re a lifestyle shift.

Just in time for a sober-ish summer; Cloud City’s CBD libations are the perfect way to start developing healthier habits without sacrificing fun. As research findings increase about the long-term health risks of alcohol consumption, so do the demands for alcohol alternatives. In the first quarter of 2025, consumers were sent into a frenzy as media outlets reported new research linking liver damage, high blood pressure, and an alarmingly high risk of cancer to both excessive and moderate drinking habits.

The COVID-19 pandemic was traumatic in many ways and has undoubtedly reshaped daily life as we know it today. Thus, many have turned to their preferred form of stress relief. Pouring an extra glass of wine at the end of a busy day or popping open another can of beer on a Sunday afternoon seemed inconsequential. But in doing so, they hadn’t realized the harm they’re subjecting themselves to.

CBD Beverages – Alcohol Alternatives for the Sober-Curious

The laws of nature tell us that what we plant will grow. Now, those who have planted poison are beginning to worry about the consequences. More importantly, health-conscious and sober-curious citizens are demanding healthier alcohol alternatives. As a result, alcohol sales are plummeting as wellness supplements and alternative health aids, such as cannabidiol, take the lead.

And so, the sober-curious movement rises. If you’re looking to raise the bar for how you manage your health, consider Cloud City Supply your accountability buddy. Our budtenders are here to help and can act as trusted advisors who will not only help you achieve your wellness goals but also make them something to look forward to rather than another arduous task. With CBD drinks that are as tasty as they are therapeutic, these fresh and functional tonics will, indeed, change your life.

CBD beverages are redefining social and self-care rituals everywhere. Our curated selection has something to offer every occasion, whether you’re looking for balance after a morning workout, a pick-me-up in the middle of a long work day, a relaxation aid to facilitate better sleep in your nighttime routine, or a weekend party favor you can enjoy with friends. Personalize your cannabidiol experience with guidance from our best budtenders, who will tell you everything you need to know about the strains, dosages, flavor profiles, and adaptogenic benefits featured in each CBD drink.

The leading benefit of cannabis-infused beverages is that they don’t pose any of the health risks associated with alcohol consumption. This means you can enjoy your CBD drinks without making yourself susceptible to liver damage or a cancer diagnosis. Not to mention, no hangover to recover from the next day. Cannabidiol has been used as an herbal remedy for centuries in ancient medicine for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties that benefit several aspects of human physiological health.

CBD is non-psychoactive, which makes it not only a healthier but a safer alternative to its alcoholic competitor. Moreover, Harvard Health has given cannabidiol the official stamp of approval, confirming it’s not habit-forming. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about abuse or developing dependence, let alone damage to your internal organs. That said, for those looking for a little psychoactive fun, our product selection also includes THC-infused drinks. Our budtenders can help you navigate your choices thoughtfully.

In need of intensive pain relief? Look no further— you know Silicon Valley’s favorite CBD store has got you covered. Not only did Mercury News readers crown Cloud City as the best CBD store for a third consecutive year, but also as the one with the best CBD selection. Whether your pain is chronic or acute, we’ve got accessible solutions. In today’s blog, we explain the secret ingredient that makes one particular CBD lotion so popular: emu oil.

Rightfully so, Cloud City’s 2000mg CBD Intensive Relief Rub has remained at the top of our best-sellers list for the entirety of our existence. Though it’s applied topically, this commanding pain relief aid penetrates the skin’s surface to exceed expectations, delivering all kinds of therapeutic benefits you didn’t even know you needed. 

The rub features 2000mg of CBD and also contains emu oil, which is especially advantageous for topical delivery. Emu oil penetrates the skin 2-4 times deeper than other types of oil, making it a complementary partner for other efficacious ingredients, such as cannabidiol (CBD), for notable pain relief. Moreover, this CBD lotion comes in an airless pump for ease and convenience, so you can use it wherever and whenever you want. It’s best utilized for:

• Sore, post-workout muscles
• Chronic pain conditions, such as arthritis, joint pain, and migraines
• Acute pain post injury, surgery, and other medical procedures
• Stress-induced headaches
• Menstrual cramps
• Chronic and acute inflammation
• Good old self-care 🙂

Emu oil + CBD = maximum pain relief

In Indigenous Australian culture, the natural oil produced by the fat of the emu (a bird native to Australia) has been used for centuries in wellness and alternative medicine. This oil is revered for its soothing and healing properties. It performs miracles when applied topically, effectively treating everything from irritated skin and inflammation to physical pain.

Emu oil contains essential fatty acids, such as omegas 3, 6, and 9, that bolster its penetrative properties. This compound mimics the function of lipids found naturally in the human skin structure, allowing it to carry synergized effects deeper into the skin. Thus, it pairs well with CBD, helping to maximize and amplify its curative properties. In short, this dynamic combo is highly effective, boosting absorption that alleviates pain in just minutes.

Users rave about the long-lasting, targeted relief this 2000mg CBD relief rub delivers. Most use it after working out or as a part of their daily regimen to manage various chronic discomforts. But specifically, what is it that sets this CBD lotion apart from others?

Intensive relief that sustains

Unlike other CBD topicals, this Intensive Relief Rub has a non-greasy texture, offering a luxurious and practical user experience. Its formula contains a hefty dose of broad-spectrum cannabidiol, designed to deliver real results. The blend of cannabidiol with emu oil deepens penetration without leaving any residue on the skin’s surface. In addition, it harnesses soothing botanical elements, such as cooling menthol and anti-inflammatory arnica, presenting an organic, all-natural ingredient roster for comprehensive, long-lasting pain relief.

But wait, there’s more! This fantastic resource comes in multiple formats, too. So, if you’re not a fan of lotions, you can opt for the salve version instead— another customer favorite that promises to get the job done.

CBD products that turn pain into an afterthought

If you’ve been disappointed by topical CBD products in the past, it’s time to redesign your pain management practice. Cloud City is known for its premium products and coveted customer education. Visit us in-store to test the famous Intensive Relief Rub and other star favorites amongst our decorated CBD product selection that spans a wide range of top-quality edibles, softgels, and other amazing topicals.

 

In this blog, we’ll discuss how CBD helps dogs and enhances their quality of life. Get our expert recommendations for the best CBD for dog anxiety.

How does CBD help dogs? Well, Cloud City believes that pets are a part of the family. Therefore, they should receive the same care and attention as any other loved one. In the same way humans do, dogs also experience stress and anxiety. They are subject to the same age-related illnesses and discomfort that can negatively impact their quality of life. Traditional veterinary solutions include the same pharmaceutical treatments and medication, with the same host of unwanted side effects we try to avoid for ourselves. So, today’s pet parents tout CBD as an effective, natural aid to support their furry friend’s well-being in all the best ways.

How does CBD help dogs?

Whether behavioral or situational, cannabidiol (CBD) is a safe supplement that supports every aspect of your dog’s health.

• Social and separation anxiety: CBD treats are an easy way to manage your furry companion’s anxiety. Giving them CBD before taking them outside or leaving them inside helps calm their stress in response to loud noises, unfamiliar environments, and any other associated overwhelming emotions or anxious behaviors they exhibit when outside their comfort zone.
• Sleep disturbances: Dogs’ instincts to safeguard their home and protect their owners explain why most are light sleepers. However, this primal instinct can harm their health if the disruption is frequent or prolonged. Lack of sleep affects your dog’s mood, behavior, and vital physiological functions. CBD can help regulate your dog’s sleep patterns and improve sleep quality for dogs who become overly aggressive, have traumatic backgrounds, or are naturally high-strung.
• Pain management: Many older dogs suffer from joint pain and arthritis, leaving them in constant pain and inhibiting mobility. This can turn primary sources of joy, like daily walks or playtime activities, into stress-inducing events. CBD’s anti-inflammatory effects offer a great alternative to prescription medications. Even for life-threatening conditions, such as cancer, vets may recommend pairing painkillers with CBD oil to mitigate unwanted side effects and even enhance NSAID effectiveness.
• Sensitive skin: If your dog has sensitive skin or is susceptible to seasonal weather changes, CBD also helps regulate necessary bodily functions like moisture retention and inflammatory response.
• Digestion: Cannabidiol reduces inflammation and is particularly beneficial for the gastrointestinal tract (GI). For dogs suffering from chronic conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and colitis, CBD regulates digestive functions. What’s more, it stimulates appetite to maintain healthy weight and nutrient absorption levels. CBD also helps dogs who get motion sick on car rides and during travel plans. Say goodbye to vomit and diarrhea!

Best CBD for dog anxiety

Most commonly, our budtenders are asked to recommend the best CBD for dog anxiety. Pet owners tout these Calm CBD Bites from Honest Paws as their furry friend’s favorite wellness companion. These CBD dog treats are certified USDA organic, non-GMO, and soy-free. Dogs go crazy for the peanut butter flavor and the fast-acting therapeutic effects of these organic, full-spectrum hemp bites. Review the dosage information on the packaging, or ask one of our budtenders for advice on administering CBD to your four-legged bestie.

Mercury News readers have spoken again, and the consensus is this: Cloud City Supply is still the best CBD store in Silicon Valley.

It’s official (again)! Mercury News readers have crowned Cloud City Supply the first-place winner for Best CBD Store. This announcement marks the third consecutive year Mercury News readers have ranked the downtown Campbell cannabis store with such high honors, only made possible by the continued support of its loyal, engaged community members and CBD shoppers year after year. Cloud City is humbled and immensely grateful to be recognized as a trusted source for CBD products, education, and community connection.

As such, our product selection, educational resources, and social gatherings aim to create meaningful experiences that have long-lasting impacts. Consider Cloud City a hub for guidance, learning, and supportive networking that caters to every corner of your wellness journey. Hence, our calendar stays packed year-round.

Over the past two months, we’ve fostered closeness among the downtown Campbell community. We do this by throwing events that bring as much fun as they positively impact. To kick off 2025, we hosted our third annual blood drive (yes, cannabis consumers can donate blood!), which, per usual, was a tremendous success. We recruited dozens of generous individuals who stepped up to contribute to a lifesaving cause. A week later, we put on a Blaze & Bubbles event, a Galentine’s Day-themed rolling class complete with live music, champagne, and goody bags participants got to take home and enjoy.

Additionally, we regularly partner with other local businesses and affiliates to bring fun occasions for you to engage in, such as our annual Howl-oween Pet Costume Contests, pottery paint nights, Canna Yoga, and more. As such, Cloud City is more than just a place to get good cannabis products. Take advantage of opportunities to gain new knowledge, strengthen friendships, and prioritize self-care.

Community care is not simply a bottom-up strategy or business initiative. It’s deeply ingrained in Cloud City Supply’s legacy from the top down. Founder and owner Amy Taylor is the president of the Downtown Campbell Business Association (DCBA) and a board member of the Campbell Police Foundation (CPF). These positions have allowed a synergistic relationship to develop into a mutually beneficial value add for community members. Amy makes a concerted effort to shape her hometown’s quality and future, from policy to economics to having fun.

If you haven’t explored the world of CBD products yet, you’re missing out.

Recent studies from 2025 reveal that 60% of adults in the United States have either tried or regularly use CBD, with 62% of those individuals reporting its use for medical conditions related to pain, anxiety, and depression. Thus, the numbers speak for themselves. The wellness industry champions CBD as a tried-and-true essential, thanks to its extensive therapeutic benefits for the mind and body.

Chronic pain, anxiety, and depression have become central topics in national social discourse. In a post-pandemic world undergoing constant significant change, these widespread health struggles seem almost unavoidable. No one is immune to the mounting pressures of life in America today. As a result, wellness enthusiasts are turning to holistic health aids, such as cannabidiol (CBD), for support. However, not all CBD products are created equal, and discerning their qualitative hierarchy necessitates expert knowledge and advice.

Fortunately for you, Cloud City Supply does the hard work for you. There’s a reason Metro Silicon Valley readers have named us the best CBD dispensary with the best CBD selection. Today’s blog shares our staff’s top picks for your biggest struggles. If you need a practical daily supplement for chronic conditions like insomnia or depression, we have a sustainable solution for you.

As the world recognizes the diverse benefits of CBD, other cannabis strains are also capturing the attention of health fanatics worldwide. Notably, cannabigerol (CBG), often referred to as the mother of all cannabinoids, is establishing its own presence in the spotlight. This extract is effective for managing high levels of anxiety. Since it does not induce any psychoactive side effects, these CBG tincture drops serve as an ideal health aid to rely on throughout the day for mental health support, fostering the perfect balance of wellness and productivity. If you lead an active lifestyle, it also offers impressive analgesic properties that help keep inflammation under control.

Each one has distinct yet complementary benefits. Hence, when combined, they give off the synergistic ‘entourage effect,’ which simultaneously relaxes you, facilitates a productive and balanced flow, alleviates pain, and uplifts your mood. Cloud City encourages you to experiment safely and intentionally with the help of our budtender’s expert advice.

Cannabis derivatives, by superpower:

While cannabigerol (CBG) is typically used during the day when you need to laser in and focus, CBN gives off the opposite effect. In contrast, CBN facilitates the ultimate relaxation, easing you into the best sleep possible.

Here’s a quick overview of each extract’s specialty.

• CBD (Cannabidiol): Restores balance by reducing stress, regulating mood and circadian rhythms, and managing pain sensations.
• CBG (Cannabigerol): Known as the mother of all cannabinoids for its rare ability to reproduce other cannabis extracts, decrease inflammation, promote gut health, and sharpen focus.
• CBN (Cannabinol): Soothes anxiety and improves sleep patterns and qualities.
• THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol): The psychoactive element of the cannabis plant, which also aids in pain relief, influences appetite and positively impacts mood management.

Cannabis products for sleep

People who suffer from sleep disturbances are more likely to experience a host of interconnected health issues and an increased likelihood of compromised long-term health. With that said, we should all store sleep at the top of our priority list. As crucial as this bodily function is, unfortunately, it’s one of the first things to get sacrificed when calendars get crowded. Thus, some of us need more help than others getting to and/or staying asleep. Enter: CBN.

Unlike THC, CBN doesn’t have psychoactive properties. It’s best known for improving sleep patterns and quality, making it an essential supplement for syncing your body’s internal clock with its surrounding environment. The physiological functions your body performs during sleep are necessary for recovering and repairing damaged tissue and reconciling your intake of stress, toxins, and other unavoidable free radicals you interact with throughout the day. When your circadian rhythm is disrupted, it impairs your body’s ability to heal. 

CBN sleep gummies are the perfect way to prompt your body into that restorative, quality REM sleep. Trust us, you’ll look forward to winding down each night with these best-selling Smokiez CBN Sleep Gummies that will quickly become a staple in your nighttime routine. Preemptively tackle stubborn sleep disturbances with cannabinol, which interacts with your body’s endocannabinoid system to relax you into a deep slumber you’ll look forward to as soon as you wake up. Not only will you fall asleep swiftly, but you’ll stay in that restful state long enough for your body to recover from the day and adequately prepare for the next.

Get better sleep with CBN sleep gummies

Silicon Valley’s elite CBD community esteems these CBN sleep gummies as an effective natural sleep aid. So much so that we can barely keep them on the shelves. Do your sleep cycle a favor and try them out if you can get your hands on them. 

Remember earlier when we talked about the entourage effect? Well, here’s where that comes in. To add to the soothing effects of CBN, these particular gummies meticulously add CBD to promote balance to your well-being. Encompassing both mental and physical health benefits, these gummies are an exemplary source of momentum for your new nighttime routine. End each day with a clear mind, a relaxed body, and a happy heart. You’ll thank us when you wake up refreshed and recharged the next morning!

These CBN sleep gummies are yummy and convenient to bring with you anywhere. Moreover, they offer a safe and natural alternative to prescription sleeping pills like Ambien or Quviviq. This plant-based solution is just as effective without the associated health risks. Give your body the rejuvenation it craves. Stop in to see us in our downtown Campbell store or browse our collection of high-quality CBN products online today.

The explosion of cannabidiol has completely transformed the wellness industry. CBD offers an unprecedented aid to stress management and pain relief. Most importantly, it’s organic, eradicating the chances of severe health risks and unwanted side effects associated with popular opioids and NSAIDs. Yet, seasoned CBD users know that’s just the start of all CBD offers. Its actual capacity is revealed in many forms, from natural health aids to recreational alcohol alternatives. In this blog, we’re taking CBD 101 to the next level, introducing you to new societal trends that will help you transform unhealthy habits and the best way to elevate your CBD experience: in community.

CBD 101: America’s New Favorite Indulgence

A recent advisory warning issued by America’s top doctor linking alcohol consumption and increased cancer risk has Gen Z and other health-conscious individuals pivoting away from beer, spirits, and wine. Next to tobacco and obesity, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists alcohol as the third-most preventable cause of cancer in the U.S. As a result, polls show a staggering 49% of Americans plan to drink less in 2025. 

These findings propose promising projections for the blooming cannabis industry, which continues to provide safe and natural alternatives for unproductive habits such as alcohol and prescription medication consumption. If you’re even the least bit sober-curious, now is the time to familiarize yourself with the magical derivatives of the cannabis plant with Cloud City Supply as your trusted advisor.

Not only do alcohol alternatives like cannabidiol (CBD), cannabigerol (CBG), and cannabinol (CBN) offer guilt-free wellness benefits, but they also add value to social environments and shared experiences in the same way. CBD, CBG, and CBN are non-psychoactive compounds with immeasurable therapeutic effects, allowing you to share your self-care practice in community with others. To add, if you are interested in a little intoxicating fun but want to leave out the liver damage, there’s also the infamous THC, which offers the same medicinal benefits with some very pleasurable mind-altering effects.

CBD for Self-Care

CBD and its sister compounds, CBG and CBN, befriend your body’s endocannabinoid system to deliver targeted chronic and acute pain relief and subdue stress. Subsequently, you can expect to experience a boost of energy, an elevated mood, and a relaxed body. Each cannabinoid has its specialty that caters to overall balance and restoration to necessary physiological processes your body performs daily, such as sleep, appetite, and digestive function regulation. For these reasons, CBD is a surefire way to elevate your daily wellness routine.

CBD for Social Anxiety

Got social anxiety? Lean on the entourage effect, or the complementary mixture of therapeutic effects when CBD, CBG, and CBN are combined, to supercharge your self-esteem and dismantle anxiety. Blending cannabinoids makes it easy for you to relax in any group setting comfortably. Plus, imagine everyone in the group feeling these invigorating benefits at the same time; it’s no wonder people are turning to cannabinoids as ideal alcohol alternatives!  

Social CBD Experiences

As a top-rated CBD store in Silicon Valley, Cloud City Supply encourages healing and recreation through balance and restoration. This means that as much as we’re here to help you improve your daily wellness routine, we’re equally excited to offer opportunities to elevate your CBD experience in community with other like-minded individuals who can add to your perspective. Collective CBD consumption introduces you to new ways to appreciate this remarkable compound’s multifaceted application.

To that end, one of Cloud City’s biggest points of difference is its passion for providing customer education that guides users through a quality cannabis experience. Throughout the year, we host a series of events that serve as the backbone of Cloud City’s community involvement tradition. These include an annual blood drive (yes, cannabis users can donate!), a Halloween pet costume contest, and several art and wellness extravaganzas, such as pottery painting, yoga, and joint-rolling classes for holidays and special occasions. 

Next on our upcoming calendar of events is Blaze & Bubbles, our annual Galentine’s Day-themed rolling class. Learn how to roll the perfect joint in great company with your best galentines. We’ll also have a curated playlist going and complimentary rosé bubbly (or THC seltzers) to enhance your cannabis experience. Help us help you discover an elevated way to bond with your favorite people. Our staff will help you identify your perfect dosages and tailor product recommendations to your lifestyle preferences. 

Where Wellness Meets Connection

In the past, we’ve received an overwhelming interest in our Blaze & Bubbles events. So, this year, we’ve decided to extend it into a three-day opportunity. Gather your crew and select a timeslot on February 13, 14, or 15th to RSVP for together. Don’t delay- reservations are limited to eight people per time slot and are confirmed on a first-come, first-serve basis. 

Join us for a relaxed night of fun, where we’ll supply you with step-by-step guidance on joint rolling, complete with all the flower and materials you’ll need to practice and enjoy. In case anyone asks, you’ll also go home with a certificate of completion confirming you’re a pro roller. This is a unique opportunity to create core memories for some of your most valuable friendships, so don’t let it escape you!

If you’ve ever attended one of our events, you know we get the vibes going in a judgment-free zone. Come as you are, roll at your own pace (pun intended), and infuse your galentine bonds with quality cannabis experiences.

At Cloud City Supply, we believe that CBD isn’t just about product consumption. It’s about community, education, and our collective well-being. This Galentine’s Day event goes beyond a celebratory opportunity. It’s an invitation to experience the difference of a brand that genuinely cares.

If you’ve been here before, you’re familiar with how the cannabis industry has exploded. In 2025, the US cannabis industry projects profits upwards of $45 billion. Gallup studies showed record-breaking support for cannabis legalization, at a never-seen-before 70% in 2023, symbolizing unprecedented unification around potential legislation in the North American population. Though the new year anticipates significant legal reform that could facilitate groundbreaking advancements in cannabis funding, research and development, and distribution, a charged political climate threatens to deprioritize such agendas. Lack of regulatory structure and subsequent financial limitations have cornered cannabis to a small but special sector of the US consumer market.

Alas, as sequentially rated the best CBD store in Silicon Valley by Mercury News readers since 2022, Cloud City Supply has successfully dominated this burgeoning niche. Whether you’re a rookie or a seasoned cannabis user, Cloud City has a satisfactory treat for you. In this blog, we’re sharing a comprehensive guide to edibles. Explore Cloud City’s range of premium CBD gummies for beginners to THC-infused products blended with CBN and CBG for cannabis experts with higher tolerances.

CBD-Only Edibles for Beginners

These gummies are a great starting point for beginner cannabis users. Absent THC (the intoxicating cannabis compound), CBD gummies offer a stress-free opportunity to dip your toes into the magical world of hemp-based edibles. Moreover, since there are no mind-altering effects, these edibles are safe and encouraged to take any time- day or night.

The most popular forms of the cannabidiol strain are cannabinol (CBN) and the mother of all cannabinoids, also known as cannabigerol (CBG). Cloud City’s product selections encompass both.

For those in need of relief from anxiety or inflammation, these THC-free gummies send CBG to bind to CB1 and CB2 receptors to enhance pleasure, motivation, and critical circadian functions like appetite and sleep. Like all other cannabis extracts, CBG simultaneously provides an unmatched natural alternative for pain management. As such, CBG gummies are popular among those living with chronic pain, arthritis, and other forms of muscle tension. 

In contrast, these CBN gummies are an ideal addition to your nighttime routine. If you suffer from a racing mind, difficulty falling or staying asleep, or a compromised immune system, cannabinol provides a safe and organic solution with a plethora of therapeutic benefits. This element is known for its potent pain relief, sleep assistance, and neuroprotective properties, which allow you to unwind at the end of a long day without psychotropic impact.

Combination Edibles for Moderate Cannabis Users

THC-Infused CBD Gummies

The first thing to know about dabbling with THC products is that they’re not all created equal. These Tillmans Tranquil gummies start you at a soft 5mg per piece, balanced by premium cannabidiol (CBD) that enhances the mild effects of low THC dosages for a functionally enriched day or night. Notably, these fan favorites are also scored diagonally, making it easy to increase your exposure with each interaction gradually.

CBD/CBN/THC Gummies

Got serious sleep problems? Fear not. Tillmans Tranquils Blackberry Sleep Gummies are here to save the day. These sleep gummies have been dubbed some of Cloud City’s best sellers for their efficacious, medicinal effects.

Because of its thorough blend of CBD, CBN, and THC, just one dose of these induces the best sleep you’ve never had. These derivatives complement each other to give off the famous entourage effect for a pleasurable experience that sweetens sleep quality like no other.

CBD/CBG/THC Gummies

Need to zone in? Remove CBN from the formula, and voila! The mixed effects of CBD, CBG, and THC give off the opposite effect, improving focus, reducing anxiety, and soothing physiological inflammation of all kinds.

THC + CBD Gummies for Experienced Cannabis Users

Ready for a most robust experience? Once you’ve built your tolerance to lower levels of THC, you can graduate to these:

Delta-9 THC Gummies

These gummies are packed with 10mg per piece of Delta-9 THC that takes you on a pleasant ride straight into the clouds. Delta-9 is a special strain of THC that promotes balance and serenity to those with demanding daily routines.

Cannabigerol, or CBG, is revered as the ‘mother of all cannabinoids,’ yet still manages to fly under the radar. Nevertheless, in recent years, CBG has become a coveted solution for experienced CBD users hungry for its healing effects for stress and pain management. In this blog, we’ll review how CBG differs from its widely known counterpart, CBD, and in which circumstances its use is most appropriately warranted. Additionally, we’ll share some helpful tips for CBG shoppers, such as where to buy CBG and best product use and selection practices.

The Mother of All Cannabinoids

There are over 100 strains (or cannabinoids) found in the cannabis plant. Cannabigerol (CBG) is one of its less abundant elements, rare in its ability to reproduce other derivatives all on its own, such as the infamous THC and wellness heart-throb CBD. For this reason, CBG is also referred to as the mother of all cannabinoids. That said, you may wonder what makes CBG so unique. Let’s discuss some key points of difference between CBG and CBD.

CBG vs. CBD – What’s The Difference?

1. Endocannabinoid interaction: CBG binds directly to the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system to deliver targeted results. Meanwhile, CBD influences the endocannabinoid receptors indirectly for a more blanketed approach to delivery.
2. Impact: CBD is respected for its expansive therapeutic properties that cater to a range of physiological symptoms, from physical pain relief to stress and anxiety reduction. More specifically, CBG is known for zapping brain fog to allow clarity and focus when you need to zone in on a particular thought, task, or deliverable. Thus, CBG is ideal for daytime users with hectic work schedules or any other circumstance that requires their best intellectual self.
3. Rarity: CBG is found only in small amounts, making it rarer and, thus, more expensive than other CBD-based products.

While CBG and CBD share many of the same restorative effects, experienced users understand the value of engaging these compounds according to circumstance. For example, CBD is ideal when you need to unwind, relax, and recharge. As such, it makes a great additive to your post-workout meal or that final cup of tea you drink before bed. 

In contrast, CBG shines for its opposing influence, which makes it an excellent aid to lean on throughout the day. CBG stimulates mental clarity, boosts energy, and renders laser focus. Simultaneously, it reduces inflammation, digestive processes, and eye health.

CBG’s Medicinal Benefits

As you can see, CBG is not a cannabinoid you want to discount, especially when you need to zone into a project, get something done swiftly, or eliminate brain fog. Here’s a more detailed look at what you can expect when interacting with CBG.

• Anti-Inflammation: Studies on CBG have shown this cannabis derivative is particularly good at managing inflammation. More specifically, if you suffer from a chronic medical condition or impaired immune response, CBG provides a safe and natural alternative to prescription medications.
• Focus and Concentration: CBG is an effective tool for dismantling stress and anxiety when you need to be productive. Whether you’re working against a tight deadline or need to progress on that pages-long to-do list you’ve been procrastinating on, a dose of CBG can get you into the right frame of mind to handle business.
• Digestive Aid: CBG helps soothe gut inflammation, a leading cause of bowel-related concerns such as constipation and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This helpful element regulates digestive function to sync a clear mind with a clear body.
• Optical Health: Another unique therapeutic effect of CBG is reduced intraocular pressure. This added benefit makes cannabigerol an excellent option for users managing medical conditions like glaucoma.

The Entourage Effect

Most notably, when CBG and CBD are combined, they create a supercharged synergy that amplifies each other’s benefits, also known as the ‘entourage effect.’ This enchanted combo creates a balanced profile that supports wellness from every angle. If you’re looking for a new baseline of homeostasis, CBG allows you to stay calm and sharp-minded around the clock.

Tips for CBG Shoppers

Cloud City Supply takes the overwhelm out of cannabis education and shopping. Our knowledgeable and experienced budtenders can assist you in finding the best CBG products for your needs and provide comprehensive instructions to help you maximize each one’s specific benefits.

Alternatively, if you prefer a DIY approach, here are five tips to keep in mind when shopping for other cannabis products that can help guide you in figuring out where to buy CBG:

1. Choose your preferred format. Like CBD and THC products, CBG also comes in various formats. Explore Cloud City’s scope of topicals, tinctures, and edibles to find the best fit for your daily routine.
2. Aim for products labeled ‘Organic’ or ‘Non-GMO.’ Premium cannabis products should be free of synthetic additives like pesticides and other preservatives that can cause unwanted side effects. Confirming the product is made from organic hemp lets you rest assured there are no unintended risks.
3. Choose products that specify ‘Full-Spectrum’ or ‘Broad-Spectrum’ CBG formulas. Full or broad-spectrum formulas contain additional benefits of other complementary cannabinoids and terpenes, promoting the entourage effect for an optimal user experience.
4. Ask for the product’s Certificate of Analysis (COA). Cannabis legislation and subsequent research and development are still underway. Hence, always make sure you’re sourcing your CBD and CBG products from a reputable brand. Reputable brands will provide third-party lab results that confirm the safety and efficacy of the product’s contents.
5. Do your research. The power of customer reviews cannot be underestimated! When considering a new CBG product, look for reviews online to gain valuable insight from real users on what to expect.

When Is The Best Time To Take CBG?

Cannabigerol is best for daytime use because it is energizing, anti-inflammatory, and concentration-inducing. Whether you’ve got a packed calendar or need help keeping your mind sharp, CBG has your back.

But that’s not all! CBG can also be leveraged for nighttime use. Combined with CBD, its ‘entourage effect’ blends the best of both worlds. These compounds help you let go of the day’s stress and unwind while keeping your mind clear and your mood upbeat. Next, let’s get into helpful tips for cannabigerol shoppers, including where to buy CBG.

Those living with chronic pain know its impact reaches beyond a label. Chronic pain profoundly affects every intricacy of daily life and is thus, for many, considered a disability. Individuals who suffer from chronic pain deal with frustrating interferences to their mobility and overall quality of life, including the ability to partake in recreational activities and complete tasks and projects necessary for employment. Today, we will explore these challenges and discuss how science and social movements in the twenty-first century have produced holistic solutions that offer a safer way to manage chronic pain effectively.

Is chronic pain considered a disability?

In short- yes. The United States Social Security Administration often recognizes chronic pain as a disability because of how it limits one’s ability to perform basic work tasks and engage in daily activities, such as commuting to and from work. Musculoskeletal conditions and psychiatric disorders, such as arthritis and neuropathy, are the most commonly cited impetus’ for disability claims, along with ambulatory-related disabilities. In addition to the physical limitations they present, conditions like these also come with profound effects on the individual’s mental health.

Living with chronic pain

Daily life with chronic pain is aggravating. Mainly because it inhibits a person’s ability to do small things that most people don’t think twice about. For example, making yourself a meal, taking a walk, or even sitting for extended periods. Everyday activities like these are increasingly harmful for those who work remotely. As you can imagine, not being able to do simple tasks like these lays the groundwork for depression, anxiety, and loneliness due to social isolation. They also threaten the affected person’s job security, often leading to financial strain and instability. This impact becomes a double-edged sword as medical costs rack up for ongoing treatments, becoming a significant burden.

Solutions for pain management

NSAIDs and opioids have been the go-to solution for chronic pain for decades. These medications have produced generations of people impacted by the long-term health risks they inevitably impose. Though they are effective for pain relief, these drugs make users vulnerable to numerous unwanted side effects and long-term health risks. Most often, we hear about prescription substance abuse leading to addiction, dependency, and damage to some of the human body’s most vital organs. Nonetheless, when someone is in debilitating pain, the thought of these risks becomes a secondary priority. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Thanks to new social trends that have inspired advancements in health science, research, and technology, the health and wellness industry has been encouraged to center on alternative therapies that don’t involve the risks and side effects that so many people suffer from with traditional pharmaceuticals. Among the most popular options is cannabidiol, or CBD. CBD proves itself to be a notable agent of change for those living with chronic pain.

How CBD alleviates chronic pain

This astounding compound derived from the hemp plant reduces chronic pain effectively and is safer than pharmaceutical painkillers.

First, it interacts directly with the body’s endocannabinoid system to dismantle inflammation and regulate pain sensations. What’s more, its benefits are not limited to physical pain. The compound is also revered for its ability to reduce psychological discomfort, such as depression, anxiety, and mood swings. The root of chronic pain is inflammation, which CBD is most well-known for treating.

Most significantly, science backs cannabidiol’s therapeutic benefits for chronic pain. Studies show CBD users report a decrease in pain and reliance on opioids. Unlike its counterpart, THC, cannabidiol is non-psychoactive and, therefore, a practical solution for daily pain management. Whether you’re just starting your search or trying to wean yourself off of painkillers, CBD presents an ideal alternative.
