As the demand for natural wellness solutions grows, so does the popularity of CBD and Delta-9. While each of these plant-based compounds offers unique benefits, their greatest advantages to mind and body may be realized when their strengths are combined holistically.
Our products include many made with CBD, as well as many that contain Delta-9. Understanding how the compounds function, separately and together, can help you choose the best fit for your wellness goals.
What CBD Is (and Isn’t)
CBD is the common abbreviation for cannabidiol, a naturally occurring chemical compound found in the hemp plant. It’s non-intoxicating and does not produce a euphoric “high.” It does, however, offer a number of benefits to people seeking balance and relaxation.
Anxiety Reduction – CBD is perhaps best known for its ability to help people unwind, relax, and feel less stressed. A few of our soothing CBD-infused hot teas (created in partnership with our brother company, Harney & Sons) include Chamomile Mint - Chill (with 16 mg. of CBD), Turmeric Ginger - Calm (9 mg. CBD), and Cinnamon Spice - Center ( 8 mg. CBD).
Pain Relief – Those seeking natural support for everyday aches or exercise-related soreness may find that CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties help reduce their discomfort. Our Calm Ashwagandha CBD Hemp Extract Tincture could be a valuable addition to your self-care routine.
Sleep Support – CBD’s ability to calm the nervous system and reduce anxiety has the added benefit of helping many insomniacs fall asleep and enjoy better rest. If you’re struggling to get enough shut-eye, our Holy Basil & Coconut - Sleep tea (with 25 mg. of CBD) could be just what you need. Want even more information on CBD-assisted rest?

Delta-9: Intoxicatingly Helpful
Delta-9 is a shortened name for Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-9 THC). This is the compound in cannabis that’s primarily responsible for its psychoactive effects, as well the “high” often associated with cannabis use. When used in low, legal doses, Delta-9 won’t produce overwhelming effects…and, like CBD, it can offer a range of wellness benefits for its users.
Mood Enhancement – Delta-9 famously lifts your mood, promoting feelings of positivity, creativity, and overall well-being.
Stronger Pain Relief – Studies have shown that Delta-9 can significantly reduce physical discomfort, even more so than CBD alone.
Sleep Support – Low to moderate doses of Delta-9 may help you fall asleep faster and even increase the amount of time spent in the restorative “slow-wave” sleep stage.
CBD + Delta-9: Why the Combination Works So Well
Peanut butter and jelly. Hot chocolate and marshmallows. Sometimes elements that are great separately are even better working in tandem…and that’s the case with CBD and Delta-9.
When these two natural compounds are found together in the same product, they produce what’s known as the “entourage effect”: a synergistic interaction in which the combined impact is greater than its individual parts, and creates a more balanced, more well-rounded experience.
Every Delta-9 product that we sell also contains some amount of CBD…and that blend can increase benefits to you.
Enhanced Relaxation – CBD helps smooth out THC’s intensity, and creates a calmer, steadier sense of ease.
Amplified Relief – Together, the two compounds may offer more noticeable support for physical discomfort than either one by itself.
A More Balanced Mood Lift – The traditional “high” offered by Delta-9 is still there, but it’s tempered by CBD, and gives many users a cleaner, clearer sense of emotional well-being.
Elevated Sleep Support – The soothing nature of CBD combined with the deep relaxation offered by Delta-9 may help support rest that’s even deeper and more restorative.
Overall, products that include both compounds are ideal for those seeking a holistic, full-spectrum wellness experience that supports your mind, body, and mood.
We offer an extensive selection of such products. As well as options such as Cinnamon Spice tea (10 mg. THC, 20 mg. CBD) and Chamomile Mint tea (10 mg. THC, 20 mg. CBD), you can explore with cold drinks like our Maple Nitro Coffee (10 mg. THC, 20 mg. CBD) or our very popular Hibiscus Bottled Iced Tea (with a formidable 30 mg. of Delta-9 THC and 30 mg. of CBD).
Decisions, Decisions
Still not sure whether you’d prefer a CBD-only product or a Delta-9/CBD blend? We’ve created a helpful quiz that can help you decide…and if you’d like to dive even deeper into the relative merits of the two, we’ve got a blog for that too: To THC or to CBD, That is the Question.
No matter which option you choose, both CBD and Delta-9 have earned their place in natural wellness routines…and we can’t wait to introduce you to their many benefits.
