I think it’s important to mention that health and wellness are very personal, and everyone has very different experiences. As a long-time coffee lover and anxiety sufferer, my coffee habit has been habitual but frowned upon. When I heard that CBD coffee was becoming a thing, I knew that I needed to try it for myself.

THC is the compound in cannabis that gets you high, CBD on the other hand, doesn’t, but still allows you the benefits of cannabis without the high feeling. I gave my usual cold brew a break, and opted for trying Good Day’s CBD Cold Brew Coffee instead. This was my only source of coffee for the week!

Day 1 – 3

I didn’t expect miracles, but I did expect to feel some kind of difference at the start of this. I continue consuming my usual amount of coffee two to three glasses a day. But the can is full of a rich amount that one can tend to last the rest of the day. Sorry, I’m one of those people that fill my coffee with half creamer!

The first day, I didn’t notice a huge difference, but I did notice that the afternoon slump never hit me like it usually does. I’d say that’s progress considering I’d usually take a power nap, but all three days, I kept working on through the day.

Day 4

I’ve definitely become more alert, and make use of my day planner. I feel more energized throughout the day, but without my usual jitters. I’m not as anxious throughout the day, and work straight through the afternoon. I’ve also cut back on my consumption. I’m down to one to two glasses of coffee a day.

I’m definitely more up to taking on work tasks, but I’m also calm and leveled out during the workday. I attempt to batch my work, something also very new to me, and I get a lot accomplished.

Day 5 – 6

I’m consuming one can of the CBD Cold Brew Coffee a day, and I’m very leveled out. I start with half the can in the morning with my regular creamer, and then the rest of the can in the afternoon poured over ice. This is definitely the perfect amount of CBD coffee for me. I’m totally chill and leveled out, but still productive throughout the workday.

Day 7

OK, I’m sold on this CBD coffee train, but I do have to admit that the dosage is different for everyone. I had my boyfriend try it as well, but his experiment turned him sluggish throughout his day, and he gave up after just the first can. As someone who suffers from anxiety, I like to do anything and everything to try and chill out during the workday. CBD coffee can be quite pricey, so I no longer drink it every day. But about once a week, I like to treat myself to a calming yet energizing can.
