@phendrick Yep, but drinking d 2’ll make ya energetically sleepy 1st, then you’ll have a conniption fit & then what you said!! Also, you can add two shots of Patron Tequila & make a Fake Margarita!!
@capta76 Energetic & Sleepy! Although I can’t say that I truly felt the CBG/CBN difference… kinda hard to weed out the specific effects of those but I’m sure they didn’t hurt
So … the Energy shot is powered by Caffeine and the Sleep shot by Melatonin. Basically this is just run of the mill stuff being hyped as having Cannabis byproducts and therefore “Must Have” to be with the “Hip Crowd”. Whoop-de-doo!!
@IndifferentDude Yep. I made the mistake of buying CBD gummies here once, they didn’t advertise it as having melatonin and the product itself showed it nowhere except deep down in the ingredients. Not making that mistake again.
@IndifferentDude I worked for a hemp company here for a bit. From what I have seen the different cannabis strains effect people differently. We had two types growing at one point and one of them was supposedly a stimulant while the other was a relaxant. I tried them both and it was pretty accurate but we had other employees try them without getting much effect. There is also no studies to back this up. I imagine they add caffeine/melatonin so they can make claims that it works without getting hit with false advertising (or having customers complain it doesn’t work).
Our company had to be very careful with the claims we made about what the product does.
Also FYI a lot of CBD/cannabis products on the market are fake and contain little to no cannabinoids. Being such a new industry the testing still had a long way to go to flesh them out. Just buy the flower directly and skip the BS middle man.
Acesulfame potassium, also known as acesulfame K or Ace K, is a synthetic calorie-free sugar substitute often marketed under the trade names Sunett and Sweet One. In the European Union, it is known under the E number E950. It was discovered accidentally in 1967 by German chemist Karl Clauss at Hoechst AG. Wikipedia
I was worried it was sucralose. Well, it’s not identical, but very similar — both are frequently mentioned together in articles about safety and side effects. So if you try to avoid sucralose you should skip this too.
@pmarin@yakkoTDI Diarrhea is far more common with the sugar alcohols like erythritol, xylitol and maltitol. But there are a great many common things that a great many people need to avoid, ranging from nuts to mushrooms to inulin to aspartame and a heck of a lot more
@Seeds@yakkoTDI Mmm- sucralose AND acesulfame potassium. Death to the microbiome! Yep, we’ll just swap in some chlorine atoms, and everything will be fine… what?! Actual sugar = BAAAAAD! Go ahead and drink this crap if you truly hate your bowels.
I may buy 24 of each just to have a chaser after taking a shot of Patron Tequila Jamison Irish Whiskey, orà Wild Turkey 101, etc, etc!! … On 2nd thought, I may not because 96oz is only 3 Quarts which is $8.00 per quart, so I might just stick with my Gatorade habit!!
@Bumplepimp …except real hippies would never do sucralose (it was probably saccharine at the time). Just organic sugar or honey from local hippie bees, or maybe maple syrup for the Northern hippies.
Kind-of sorry I missed that era by just a little bit.
@Bumplepimp@Kyeh Well, those are artisan-created raw sugar cubes. So the intentions of the artist outweigh the practicality of the sugar component in beverage. The raw sugar is just the medium the artist works in.
@gdorn@troy Yeah I’ve tried melatonin in various forms with mixed results. I tend to agree that with “less is better” in this case, though I can’t say for sure. It seems most common pill forms are 5mg or even 10! and I’ve been trying to avoid those.
Honestly 1.5mg doesn’t sound too bad. But if I bought these sleep ones, I would probably only do 1/2 bottle at a time. But I won’t buy because of the synthetic sweeteners.
@pmarin@troy Obviously it varies from person to person, but a natural amount - which is to say the amount to take to get a similar dose into the brain as what the brain normally produces - is around 300 - 500µg. 1.5mg is downright sane compared to some products I’ve seen with 15mg or even 30mg, but 1.5mg would make me go to sleep and then 90 minutes later I’d wake up from night terrors with lingering sleep paralysis, or go sleepwalking…
@gdorn@pmarin@troy I found an oral spray that delivers 3mg per two full pumps, and it’s easy to just spritz a partial one. Melatonin absorbs through the mucosa readily.
I just drank 2 bottles of dream… am I sleepy? I was sleepy before I drank them. Yes…will I sleep long n deep? My bladder won’t let me… do they have a prostate version?

I suppose if you were to consume one of each before bed, you would snore with some “Renewed motivation”
@phendrick Yep, but drinking d 2’ll make ya energetically sleepy 1st, then you’ll have a conniption fit & then what you said!! Also, you can add two shots of Patron Tequila & make a Fake Margarita!!
You say…“These are cannabis products, but they don’t get you high.”
So…what’s the point?
@eeterrific Exactly.
Drink an energy and a sleep drink just before bedtime for dreams you won’t forget.
For what its worth, I tried these and the flavor is pretty decent. Equivalent flavor to 5-Hour and other energy shots
@troy any effects? Sleepy, chill, anxious, politically charged, Pinky & The Brain goals, life changing affirmations, parseltongue, spare towel (after the dolphins leave), cosmic awareness, feelings of ineptitude, munchies?
@capta76 Energetic & Sleepy! Although I can’t say that I truly felt the CBG/CBN difference… kinda hard to weed out the specific effects of those but I’m sure they didn’t hurt
Something that could help me fall asleep and possibly lessen my foot pain? Very tempting. Was hoping for something without caffeine though.
@JT954 The sleep shots don’t have any 'ffeine
@JT954, only the CBG Energy shots have the Caffeine, so simply buy 48 of d CBN Sleep Shots, or however many ya want!!
Oh, is CBN still on? That was good at putting me to sleep if I didn’t channel surf past it quickly enough.
So … the Energy shot is powered by Caffeine and the Sleep shot by Melatonin. Basically this is just run of the mill stuff being hyped as having Cannabis byproducts and therefore “Must Have” to be with the “Hip Crowd”. Whoop-de-doo!!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How many years in a Russian Prison will these get you?
From the write-up:
“So buy 'em, try 'em, and if you don’t like 'em, you’re not even out $20.”
I guess that’s true in a sense, you’re out $24, not $20. The implication is that an order would be less than $20 though.
Sleep shots? I wonder if that would help with the new thumping sounds coming from the trunk?

@yakkoTDI Not exactly what I was thinking giphy but I laughed so it stays.
@yakkoTDI damn cats. Ruling or rueing.
If only this was around for Judy Garland and Elvis, they might not have needed amphetamines to wake up and secobarbital to sleep.
@phonepole You’re bringing back memories of my teenage years…
@phonepole And if Mama Cass had shared that sandwich with Karen Carpenter…
was wondering about the sweetener? found this

@pmarin Isn’t sucralose the one that makes people have diarrhea?
@pmarin it has sucralose as well
@yakkoTDI yes.
@pmarin @yakkoTDI Diarrhea is far more common with the sugar alcohols like erythritol, xylitol and maltitol. But there are a great many common things that a great many people need to avoid, ranging from nuts to mushrooms to inulin to aspartame and a heck of a lot more

@werehatrack sucralose definitely causes diarrhea (and seizures) in some people
@pmarin Ever since I stopped artificial sweeteners, I stopped having these odd optical migraines. So, NOPE.

Both have sucralose:(
Damned Hippies at it again!

@Bumplepimp @pmarin Don’t forget raw sugar - or as this* guy puts it, white sugar cube’s dirty hippie cousin—the raw sugar cube.

But are they hand-crafted?
Marketing via deceptive buzzword adjacency. The CB is just another pair of letters without the D.
So is this a bundle with the side deal of all night lubricant?
So this is rope, not pot?
@blaineg And now I realize I should have said “rope, not dope”.
Hangs head in shame.
@blaineg …what a dope!
Edit, or is that D’oh-pe.

Reminds me of puppy uppers and doggie downers.
@HankB33 I thought I was the only one who remembered that classic.
@lisagd It almost falls into the category “if you remember it, you weren’t really there” but it was such a great sketch.

Hey, a melatonin-containing product that is merely 5x a reasonable dose and not 17x like most…
@gdorn I too have heard that less is more with melatonin, but I wasn’t aware that 0.3mg was more effective than 1.5mg! 5mg though, come on
@gdorn @troy Yeah I’ve tried melatonin in various forms with mixed results. I tend to agree that with “less is better” in this case, though I can’t say for sure. It seems most common pill forms are 5mg or even 10! and I’ve been trying to avoid those.
