These tasty little gummy bears will take you for a spirited ride that’s free from anxiety. Containing several cannabinoids known for anti-inflammation and overall wellness, Sleepy Bear delivers a healing confectionery that you can sample freely without the fear of getting too high. Each tropical fruit flavored gummy contains 2mg of THCV, and like the other cannabinoids found in this edible, it doesn’t necessarily get you high. One would have to ingest a lot for that. I had the whole bag and did not feel any of the telltale signs of being stoned. THCV is also known for its appetite suppressing properties, and the only thing I can say about that is it did not prevent me from eating a few fish tacos and a Wetzel Pretzel.

Sleepy Bear’s Day Bear also contains 5mgs of CBG, CBD, and CBC to round out an effective entourage effect. The anti-inflammatory properties found in each gummy gives the overall effect of these cannabinoids a general sense of well being coupled with a positive outlook. It was a nice way to take the edge off while maintaining control. I popped a couple for the two-mile walk to my local mall. I decided to go to the movie theater by myself and watch Dune. I hadn’t been to the movies in a long time, and this calming “buzz” was the perfect companion to a big budget sci-fi flick that didn’t disappoint.

I also felt an increase in my energy levels, but due to its non-psychoactivity, I felt little to no euphoria. These would make a nice substitute for that morning coffee or pre-workout snack when you need an added “oomph.”

It is recommended you take 1-3 gummies during an entire day, so if you are new to edibles, don’t be like me and finish the entire bag during the trailers of a movie. These tropical fruit Daytime formula gummies are vegan, gluten-free, THC-free and fast-acting. I counted 15 minutes before I felt a subtle veneer of wakefulness take hold. While I didn’t become a productivity machine or complete an Ironman Triathlon after ingesting these gummies, they’re still a worthwhile and risk-free way to inject a bit of focus and clarity into one’s day. Oh, and they taste damn good too.
