A series of Stories of shared experiences between customers and the cannabis professionals at Terpene Journey
As a grandmother it can sometimes feel as though I am being pulled in a million different directions; We do a lot! In a world bustling with deadlines, stressors, and the constant hum of life, a restful night's sleep can sometimes feel like an elusive dream. Navigating the often turbulent waters of sleeplessness was a familiar struggle for me, and I had tried just about everything. Melatonin, blue-light blockers, and even prescription sleep aids with awful side effects, nothing seemed to work, and I was ready to give up. It was then that I stumbled upon an unexpected ally in my quest for peaceful nights – an alternative remedy. This is my story, a testament to the transformative power of cannabis as a sleep enhancer.
Sleep, an essential pillar of well-being, had become an elusive treasure for me despite employing various conventional methods. The only thing that would occasionally subdue the nightly struggle were prescription medicines, which would just as often spur on a litany of horrible side effects. Just about everyone I know my age faced a similar dilemma. Fortunately for me, my luck shifted when I met the wonderful people at Terpene Journey, a cannabis dispensary.
Just last month I decided to stop by my local Council on Aging’s first annual ‘Body and Soul Health Fair,’ which was hosted out of Marblehead. Stopping by on a whim, I wasn’t sure what to expect. There were various booths sprawled out throughout the transformed rec center, but the very first to catch my attention was a colorful sign in the back: “Terpene Journey Cannabis,” it read. I decided I would take my time exploring the other setups before I wandered over to the pot guys.
But as I made my way around the gymnasium, it was hard to ignore the buzz surrounding their booth, it seemed everyone was talking about them! As I nervously approached the table, I was greeted by two young men and asked to participate in their Terpene Game. After winning the game and a small prize along with it, we dove into a deep conversation about my personal health and sleep struggles.
“I have just the thing for you,” said the young man, handing me a sample of their KEEP SLEEPING tincture. “This is a hemp-based sleep enhancer. It is non-psychoactive, tastes great, and IT WORKS. Try it and let us know how you do with it,” he finished with a smile.
Skeptical but desperate for a reprieve, I cautiously embraced an alternative remedy as a potential solution, fully prepared to be let down once again. The first night was revelatory. Instead of the usual tossing and turning, I found myself gently drifting into a peaceful slumber. Its components seemed to orchestrate a symphony of relaxation, easing the tensions that had held me captive for so long. Best of all, I awoke feeling rested and energized, without the usual side effects. I felt like a brand-new person.
What sets this alternative remedy apart is its versatility. Through careful consultation with knowledgeable professionals, I discovered the importance of selecting specific formulations and precise dosage. The KEEP SLEEPING tincture, by the local company Wave, contains 2000 mgs of CBN and CBD at a 1:1 ratio. It is entirely hemp-derived, and can be dosed according to your individual needs, all you need is just one quarter-filled dropper under the tongue about an hour before bed and voila! This personalized approach allowed me to tailor my nightly routine to me, avoiding the pitfalls of generic medication.
Despite the growing acceptance of alternative remedies, there remains a lingering stigma surrounding cannabis products in specific. The coordinated besmirchment of cannabis in the 70’s continues to percolate in older generations - I saw it firsthand at the Body and Soul Fair. Yet this alternative remedy provides a lifeline to individuals like me who yearn for restful nights without the side effects associated with traditional sleep aids - We just have to be open minded.
Over time, incorporating this alternative remedy into my nightly routine became a ritual of self-care. The gentle unfurling of its effects provided not just sleep but a deep sense of relaxation and calm, quickly becoming a crucial portion of my Jeopardy unwinding, and enriching my overall well-being. Today, I have more energy to play with my grandkids and feel happier overall - my daughter tells me I have a new glow to myself.
My journey with this alternative remedy as a sleep aid has been nothing short of transformative. What began as a resignation to unhappy, sleepless nights evolved into a holistic approach to well-being. By embracing the potential of this unconventional aid, and with the expert guidance of the Terpene Journey folks, I found not only rest but a renewed sense of vitality each morning.
