The 5 best CBD gummies for anxiety and stress

When stress and anxiety hit, cannabidiol (CBD) works gently with your body's systems to restore calm and balance without the fog and impairment. Our full-spectrum CBD gummies combine all of hemp's beneficial compounds—including terpenes and a small amount of THC—to deliver more effective anxiety relief than CBD alone.

We've curated the finest CBD gummies to help you navigate stressful moments.

Are edibles good for anxiety?

CBD is a natural compound found in cannabis plants that offers relief from stress, anxiety, pain, and sleep issues without getting you high. Our gummies are one of the most effective, reliable, and safe ways to manage anxiety symptoms. The secret lies in precise, controlled doses. Unlike smoking or vaping, edibles provide precise dosage instructions and longer-lasting therapeutic benefits.

Here's why microdosed gummies are the best consumption methods for anxiety relief:

• Each gummy contains an exact amount of active ingredients, so you can easily find and maintain your optimal dose.
• The effects of edibles are released gradually over 6–8 hours for consistent anxiety relief throughout your day.
• When digested, CBD is processed by your liver where it’s absorbed more efficiently and interacts with your natural stress-response system more effectively.
• Gummies look like regular supplements and can be taken anywhere without drawing attention.
• Quality CBD gummies contain natural ingredients without artificial additives.
• Unlike smoking or vaping, edibles don't pose risks to lung health while delivering reliable therapeutic benefits.

Whether you're new to CBD or a seasoned wellness enthusiast, gummies are the perfect way to maintain consistent daily doses for anxiety relief. Start with a low dose (half a gummy) and gradually adjust until you hit the sweet spot for your anxiety levels.

Every batch undergoes rigorous third-party lab testing to verify potency and check for heavy metals or contaminants.

The anti-anxiety properties of CBD

Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive and works gently with the body’s systems to promote calm and emotional balance. 

If you want to take advantage of the therapeutic benefits of cannabidiol, microdosing is the most effective approach. Small, controlled daily doses of cannabis maintain anxiety relief without side effects.

Here’s how balanced doses of CBD reduce anxiety through different pathways.

CBD enhances your natural stress-response system

Your body has a built-in system for managing stress and anxiety–the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS regulates nearly every physiological process in your body, including emotional balance and mental health. CBD indirectly interacts with CB1 and CB2 receptors in the ECS to regulate anxiety levels without the psychoactive effects of THC.

CBD also strengthens the ECS to prevent the breakdown of anandamide, your body's "calm and happy" molecule. Anandamide helps maintain optimal stress response and mental clarity. Zou and Kumar (2018) demonstrate that CBD helps maintain higher levels of anandamide and keeps you calm under pressure.

CBD optimizes your mood-regulating neurotransmitters

The brain employs different chemical messengers called neurotransmitters to regulate mood and anxiety. CBD has a special talent for working with one of the most important ones: serotonin. According to a 2020 research paper, CBD activates serotonin receptors (5-HT1A) to bring emotional stability. 

CBD also interacts with other neurotransmitters to relieve anxiety and promote mental health.

• CBD enhances the calming effects by acting as a “brake pedal” for the GABA neurotransmitter (the brain’s main excitatory chemical). 
• It regulates healthy dopamine levels to boost mental clarity and focus.
• It prevents the breakdown of anandamide (the "bliss molecule") for better stress response.
• CBD aids in cortisol regulation and manages physiological stress responses.

CBD's mood-enhancing powers get even better when paired with small amounts of THC. Together in our Relax Plus gummies, they promote deep relaxation and mental clarity without leaving you feeling foggy.

“I take a half of a gummy in the morning, and it makes me calm and able to handle whatever comes my way. I will continue to order this wonderful product.”

Anxiety-related anti-inflammatory relief of CBD

Chronic stress and anxiety create a cycle of inflammation in the brain that makes you more susceptible to anxious feelings. The research by Zou and Kumar demonstrates CBD’s powerful anti-inflammatory actions that break this cycle. Cannabidiol calms inflammatory processes in brain regions that process emotions and anxiety. By reducing this neuroinflammation, CBD helps restore normal brain function and emotional processing.

CBD also protects neural pathways from stress-induced inflammation while promoting optimal mental health conditions. These same anti-inflammatory properties make CBD effective for managing chronic pain such as migraine, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and joint pain.

(The combination of THC and CBD also works magic for your chronic pain conditions.)

CBD calms your overactive fear response

When anxiety hits, your brain's fear center (the amygdala) becomes hyperactive and triggers intense feelings of stress and panic. CBD works with your body's physiological processes to regulate this fear response. Through its interaction with brain receptors, CBD prevents the amygdala from going into overdrive, allowing you to stay calm in stressful situations without compromising your natural alert system. 

With small amounts of CBD in your system, you’ll feel more balanced and less reactive to anxiety triggers while you remain clear-headed and focused.

How much CBD should you take?

With cannabis, less is more, and even small amounts can deliver powerful benefits. Start with a low dose of our CBD-infused gummies—between 5 and 10 mg—and see how it will affect you before taking more. Our microdosed gummies contain up to 25 mg of CBD per serving, so you can tailor your experience to fit your needs. 

You can take half or even a quarter of a gummy to see how your body responds. For those with a higher tolerance, doubling the dose can provide a deeper sense of calm and relaxation. By microdosing, you’ll discover the perfect balance for a steady, gentle boost to your wellness routine without overwhelming effects.

How long do CBD gummies last for anxiety?

Our THC and CBD gummies provide relief from anxiety for up to six hours with a steady, lasting effect. Unlike smoking, which brings on effects almost instantly, gummies take a bit longer to kick in—typically 30 minutes to an hour—because they’re absorbed through digestion. 

This slower onset means the effects are more consistent and longer-lasting and they deliver calm and relaxation without sudden peaks or drops. With each dose, you’ll enjoy a more stable experience.
