Background
I found when I hit my 40’s that I was still sleeping through the night, but I wasn’t getting the quality of sleep that I did in my 30’s. I tried to find alternative sleep aids that would help get that quality back such as melatonin, a blackout sleep mask and even white noise. I decided to try dream and was very happy to be able to adjust my dose based on my experiences.
The Experience
I started with 1/2 a gummy even though I was Blue in my dosing quiz. I was extremely worried about having a groggy morning and with work and kids to get ready, I don’t have the option of not being on my A game in the morning.
The 1/2 dose was good and I slept but I realized the real magic in the dosing quiz and figured I really needed to see what the full 1 gummy dose would do for my sleep.
WOW! I really started to feel the full gummy about 75min after I took it. I was very relaxed and realized that slipping into a restful sleep was right around the corner for me. I wear a sleep tracking ring and it really spoke volumes about the help Dream gave me. I had the best night of both deep and REM sleep that I’ve ever gotten. I registered over 2 hours of both and that is just unheard of for me. I also went into my deep sleep far quicker than normal.
Follow-up
I felt so good the next morning that I got up and was even able to do a full exercise routine because I had zero groggy feeling or lasting sleepiness. I am in love with the sleep this gave me! The black cherry taste was great. I would definitely do the full dose you get from the quiz for this product. As I said, I got good sleep with a 1/2 dose but the magic was in the full dose. Knowing there were no groggy after effects was so amazing that I honestly can’t wait to take it again. I would definitely recommend this to anybody else who just can’t seem to get that quality of sleep we used to have.

Background
I have an extremely stressful job and I got into running during the pandemic as a way to relieve workplace stress. Since 2020 I have run in 5 marathons 4 of them being the World Majors. It’s become a healthy outlet for myself and my family, but running long distances is hard on my body now that I’m in my 40’s. I found myself complaining to my wife about leg soreness after my long runs. We decided to try Soothe as a more natural pain relief rather than OTC medications and creams. I ran 17miles the day before (26 hours prior to taking it) and was extremely sore.
The Experience
I took a full gummy based on the dosing chart. I was a “blue” dose and decided to start with 1 full gummy. I started to notice a relaxing effect after about 45min. At the 60-75min mark I felt the full effects and was shocked at the pain management and overall euphoric and pain free feeling I was experiencing. The full gummy achieved the desired pain management of prescribed pain medications but without all the associated side effects. I ended up falling asleep from the soothing effects, but still woke up on my own during my regular time (around 5:45am) and had zero side effects. The pain that I was experiencing in my calves and feet (especially my heels) the day before was completely gone! I honestly felt like I do 3-4 days post run instead of it being day 2.
Follow-up
The tangerine taste was awesome! I was worried about it being a medicinal taste and was so happy I enjoyed taking it. I would recommend taking 1/2 your recommended dose of this one to start with as I found myself blissfully pain free, but more euphoric than I was expecting and I ended up dozing off earlier than expected as well. Overall I will have this as a staple in my post run recovery repertoire and having a safe alternative to prescribed pain medications without the awful side effects is a game changer.

Background
I’ve had migraines on and off now since 2011/2012. They run in my family but were triggered when I started hormone therapy for IVF. The reproductive specialist I was seeing said that sometimes the high doses of hormones can start migraine cycles in women who are prone to them. Unfortunately, I still have them on and off to this day. I got one at 1:11amand did all the usual things I could think to do. While I kept the worst at bay, I still had the lingering pain behind my eyes and so much tension that it made daily living extremely hard. By that afternoon I was at my wits end. I figured I would try Soothe and see if I could maybe get enough relief to rest.
The Experience
I took the 1/4 Soothe gummy after trying to eat a small amount of an early dinner and about an hour later I could move my shoulders and neck without the overwhelming tension I had since the headache started. As I was shrugging my shoulders and marveling at the fact that I could move again, I realized that my lingering headache was completely gone. I was so happy! I’ve tried everything over the years from OTC pain medications to prescriptions and one doctor even prescribed an antidepressant….I wasn’t depressed, I just got horrible migraines. Nothing worked, the side effects were often worse than the headaches and I couldn’t function with my family.
With Soothe I was able to bounce back and still do the things my family needed. I could not be more thankful for this product and the fact that I can get my life back again.
I’ve been experimenting with various cannabis products. It began as a way to mitigate the discomfort and pain associated with Sciatica and stress related sleeplessness. In the past 3 years I’ve tried many Gummy Candy products. Some were successful in my treatment goals, most were not. As a recreational cannabis user my desires are simple… great flavor and desired effect. As I’m not a fan of the actual flavor and aroma of cannabis is general products that do not smell or taste like cannabis are my clear choice.
I'm a big fan of these gummies. I am purple on the scale of how much to take. I can still "math" at this dosage, and it feels like a nice buzz. Great product.
