But the most talked about benefits of the CBD syrups are:
Sleep statistics for 2019 make a startling revelation:
Sleep problems are doing much more damage than terrorism – all over the world.
The National Center for Biotechnology Information states:
About 20% of car crash cases happen because people doze off while driving.
Over 100 thousand deaths have been attributed to medical errors due to sleep deprivation. 37.9% of people reported that they fell asleep at work in the last 30 days.
In 1942, an average American used to sleep for 7.9 hours per night. In 2013, Americans slept for only about 6.8 hours per night. CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention believes that as many as 35% of adults don’t get enough sleep (of about 7 hours per day). 20% of teenagers get less than 5 hours of sleep!
CBD syrup is being hailed as the miracle cure for the insomniacs or those who suffer from other sleeping disorders. Most of the sleeping aids prescribed by the doctors make you feel ‘groggy’ or ‘drugged’. CBD helps you to fall and stay asleep by interacting with your endocannabinoid system (ECS).
The ECS regulates important body functions, such as:
CBD stimulates the ECS receptors that help you calm down and ease into natural sleep. It is a non-psychoactive compound. It means that it does not give you a feeling of ‘high’ and you remain in control of your body and mind.
A good night’s sleep helps you to feel refreshed and revitalized in the morning. If you are looking to sleep better, you might want to look for CBD syrups that also contain natural ingredients only.
According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), anxiety disorders affect as many as 40 million adults in the US. About 18% population of the US suffers from the disease.
Women are twice more susceptible to anxiety disorders and panic attacks. An ADAA survey revealed that many people develop social anxiety disorder around the age of 13. About 36% of them waited for 10 years or more before seeking medical help.
About 2.3 million American suffer from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. While the average age of OCD onset is 19 years, about 25% of OCD patients first experienced its symptoms around the age of 14.
Rape victims or childhood abuse victims are vulnerable to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
A person suffering from anxiety has nearly 50% chances of suffering from major depression too. Fortunately, anxiety disorders are easily treatable.
CBD (Cannabidiol) is a phytocannabinoid found in the cannabis plants. The CBD extract derived from the hemp plant is legal throughout the US. It interacts with the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the ECS which helps in the release of serotonin and dopamine in the bloodstream. These chemicals signal the brain to be ‘happy and calm’.
Note: Hemp is legally defined as the cannabis variety which has 0.3% THC. THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is a psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant. It is the chemical which makes you intoxicated. Cannabis plant strains with more than 0.3% THC is deemed as the ‘marijuana’ plant. Marijuana is a controlled substance in the US and several other countries.
Cloud N9ne claims that its hemp syrup will give you a euphoric and weightless feeling – as if you are floating on the clouds. The company does say that you need to be 18 years or older to buy the N9ne CBD syrup but it does not ask for a birth date or proof before accepting your order.
The company claims that its syrup helps with anxiety and insomnia, and is a worthy alternative to opiates and painkiller. Yet, Cloud N9ne does not sell its CBD syrup as a drug and hence, does not fall under the FDA regulation.
The ‘ingredients’ list on the bottle offers some important clues to what you can expect from the CBD syrup you are buying. For example, a Cloud N9ne syrup bottle mentions that it has 60 mg of CBD. But it does not mention whether it is 60 mg per bottle or per serving. This is confusing and you may want to ask their experts to explain more about it first.
Moreover, the company’s ingredients mention pure CBD and nine herbs (such as catnip leaves, melatonin, and passion flower leaves). None of them are psychoactive. So, it is difficult to believe that the company’s CBD syrup can give you ‘euphoria’.
The customers should be cautious in buying CBD syrup from a company which does not make it clear what you are taking.
In 2016, FDA issued as many as eight warning letters to firms for mislabeling their CBD products. Some contain THC in the product even though they claim to have zero-THC CBD syrup. Many companies claiming to sell CBD products are not putting any CBD in their products. Since you don’t know the ingredients in their syrups, you do not know what risks you are taking by using them. Hence, it is very important to be aware of the effects and side-effects of a potential medicine you want to try.
Do not hesitate to inquire about the extraction method employed by the CBD brand. The CO2 extraction process is the best way to yield pure CBD without THC contamination.
Also, ask for the third-party lab test results that confirm the claims made by the CBD syrup brand of your choice.
If the customer care people are not responsive or knowledgeable, look for another supplier – especially if you are ordering the syrup online.
One can take a CBD syrup on its own or use it as a food or beverage additive. It has a fruity and juicy flavor that most people enjoy.

Many health enthusiasts prefer to mix the CBD syrup with their juice or lemon-lime soda at breakfast time. Some of the fruit juices in which you can mix CBD syrups are:
They believe that the addition of the CBD syrup boosts their wellness quotient for the day. Others prefer it as a CBD cocktail just before their bedtime to be able to catch a good sleep.
A refreshing CBD-enriched smoothie is easy to prepare. Just toss in the measured dose of the CBD syrup with other ingredients in the blender and have fun with your drink.
You can also mix your CBD syrup in a fruity-flavored carbonated soda, such as Sprite or Fanta.
CBD syrup is the perfect alternative to dangerous codeine concoctions like ‘Lean’. Lean is also known as ‘sizzurp’ or ‘purple drank’. The downside of this codeine concoction is that can be quite deadly when abused. Lil Wayne, a popular rapper, has been hospitalized many times for sipping too much lean.
CBD is the most harmless and legal alternative to ‘lean’. It is much safer, healthier, and much more easily available. Hence, the hip-hop community and the ‘cool’ kids and teenagers are happily switching to the CBD syrup for its calming effects. However, if you intend to take the syrup purely for its recreational effects, you might want to consult your doctor first. CBD syrups that give you even a mild ‘high’ are likely to contain THC and might only be available for sale on the basis of a doctor’s prescription.
It is recommended to start with a low CBD dosage if you are a first-time user. Start small with a 5-10 mg of CBD in one serving. Gradually, increase the serving size to achieve the desired results.
To fight anxiety and sleep disorders, it is recommended to take about 30 ml of CBD syrup formula in one serving for an average user. One serving usually contains about 25 mg of pure cannabidiol. Do note that different syrups may have different recommended dosages. Read the instructions carefully or clarify with the supplier before taking it.
Do NOT take more than four servings of CBD syrups within 24 hours. Oral consumption of CBD takes a few hours to show its effects. So, let it work the magic before you take the next dose.
Though good-quality CBD syrups do not get you ‘high’, low-quality products may contain traces of THC which is a psychoactive compound. This is why it is always advisable to start with a small dose first.
