Marionberry Plum Sleep Gummies by Kanha

91 Points

There is a big difference between edibles that are merely labeled “indica” and edibles that are specifically formulated for help with sleeping. Too often, I’ve consumed an indica edible before bed, only to find myself still awake hours later with my mind still racing. This is because not all “indicas” are created equal. As you may know, “sativa” and “indica” really only refer to how the cannabis plant grows, and has very little to do with effects. More often than not, cannabis strains that are sativas (grow tall and thin with a longer grow cycle) contain more cerebral, energetic terpenes, while strains that are indicas (grow short and fat with a shorter grow cycle) contain more relaxing, sedating terpenes. This is not always the case, however, which is why you can find indica edibles that are more cerebral or sativa edibles that are more relaxing. This is not what you want when searching for a specific effect. I write all of this to say that I was very excited to try the Kanha 3:2:1 CBN:THC:CBD Marionberry Plum Sleep Gummies when it was my turn to sleep in while my wife woke up with our daughter in the morning.

Each gummy contains 15mg of CBN, 10mg of THC and 5mg of CBD with ten gummies in the package for a total of 150mg of CBN, 100mg of THC and 50mg of CBD. This review is based on my Minimum Effective Dose (MED), or the smallest amount needed to achieve the desired effect. My MED currently sits at around 100mg of THC, so I consumed the entire package. If you are unsure of your MED, it is recommended to start with 5mg of THC, or half of one gummy, wait 90 minutes then incrementally add 5mg as needed. These gummies are scored down the middle to allow for easy dosing of 5mg. Remember, your MED may change as your tolerance gets higher or lower.

The gummies come in a sleek looking dark blue pouch that definitely makes the consumer think of nighttime and sleep. Once inside the package, the aroma is very light and mild. There is a fruity sweetness, but the scent is almost calming. Whereas citrus flavors and aromas are bright and energizing (not coincidentally, the terpene limonene which is found in citrus fruits is also energizing), the aroma of the marionberry and plum is very relaxing and soothing. The gummies are dark purple and round, about the size of a quarter. As I mentioned earlier, they are scored down the middle to allow the consumer to easily dose 5mg of THC. They are soft and squishy and coated in a light covering of sugar. Upon taking the first bite, the flavor was similar to the aroma. It was very light and pleasing, and it was almost relaxing in its mildness. They weren’t sour at all or overly sweet, which is what I’m looking for in a bedtime gummy. As a high dose edible consumer, I normally don’t like to consume an entire package of gummies right before bed. I would prefer a tablet, tincture, or high dose edible. For that reason, I would say this product is more geared toward those consumers with a lower MED who don’t want to eat ten gummies right before bed, but I certainly can’t knock them for that. The texture was somewhere between a gummy bear and a jelly candy, not as gritty as a jelly but not as smooth as a gummy bear. They were soft and easy to chew without getting too stuck in my teeth. Overall, a pleasant consumption experience.

I ate the gummies around 11 PM as I got into bed, and I was out within 30 minutes. I woke up once to use the restroom around 1, and I nearly had to hold on to the wall to make it there (that’s the sign of a good sleep edible!). Because my endocannabinoid system has a higher tolerance for THC than it does minor cannabinoids like CBN and CBD, the 150mg of CBN REALLY hits me. If you are unfamiliar with CBN, it is only mildly psychoactive, but it is very sedating. This is a product that you only want to consume should you be able to sleep in the next day. If you have to wake up early for any reason, you definitely run the risk of being groggy in the morning. I slept until 9 AM, and I felt like I could have continued sleeping for several hours. These for sure did the trick of knocking me out and keeping me asleep, which is exactly what I expect from a sleep edible (shocking, I know). The 50mg of CBD also helped keep me relaxed and pain-free throughout the night, which also contributed to my ability to stay asleep.

Whether you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, the Kanha 3:2:1 CBN:THC:CBD Marionberry Plum Sleep Gummies contain the cure for what ails you. The perfectly crafted cannabinoid ratio combined with everything from the aroma to the flavor to even the packaging helps invoke the idea of sleep. Kanha has been a leader in the gummy market since 2015, so it is little surprise that they have perfected these formulations. I’ve already tried and reviewed their “energy” formula, which was great, and I currently have their “love” formula on deck (gotta wait for the perfect time for that one!). Stay tuned for that one, and in the meantime, sleep well my friends!
