Review: 1906 Sleep Drops Plant-Based Pills
After a nerve pain flare (I have had brain surgery and the muscles in my neck are finicky) I’ve been living in a world of hurt for the last few days and unable to sleep because of it. That’s the context for my review of 1906 brand Sleep Drops Plant-Based Pills.
Technically an edible, these medical cannabis pills do the trick for my painsomnia though pills aren’t really of any use to my taste buds.
I paired one pill with Nervive Roll-On*, turned on the Sleep with Me podcast**, and slept very well. These will definitely be restocked in my medicine cabinet.
As I have mentioned before, I’m a lightweight when it comes to weed. I only took one pill (a half dose) and these were my results.
Today’s review is for 1906’s Sleep Drops. Check out my other edible reviews.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
Product: 1906 Sleep Drops Plant-Based Pills, 2-pack
Cannabis Type: I don’t know, honestly, but I’m guessing Indica.
Price: $5
Dose: 10 mg
THC: 5 mg each
CBD: 5 mg each
CBN: 2 mg each
Taste: There is none, and coming from a cancered pill-taker that’s the highest of compliments. Many traditional medicines taste awful after they’ve briefly touched the tongue. But these taste like nothing at all, which I sincerely appreciate.
As pictured below, these pills have a special coating and are shaped like a teardrop. (I wondered why they were called Sleep Drops. Mystery solved.)
Overall High: 1/10
Or should this be 10/10? I don’t know because I was sleeping, and it was glorious.
Time to Relief: 35 minutes. I know the package says 20 minutes but my metabolism is slow sometimes. Thirty-five minutes is still lightning fast in my book, and I like the idea of not needing to set a timer two hours before bedtime.
Duration of Relief: 10 hours
I slept through the night, otherwise an impossibility. I got up at my usual 2 am timeslot to go to the bathroom, but I fell back to sleep right away. Also not possible these days without medication.
Worth noting, too, that I didn’t wake up feeling groggy or hungover.
Pain Relief: 8/10
I slept soundly, so it had to be good. This is a best guess at how well it actually did though because I was not consciously aware of my pain. All I can say with certainty is that I got 9 hours of sleep (10:00pm to 7:00am) and that never happens. I woke up with diminished pain too.
Munchies (Intensity): 0/10
I was asleep. I didn’t crave any food, and I wasn’t tempted to sabotage my non-flared IBS by eating more than my digestive tract could process.
Couchlock (Intensity): 0/10
I was asleep. So that feeling that I should get up and do something fighting the feeling that I can’t get up and do something wasn’t an issue.
Time Dilation (Intensity) 0/10
Did I mention these Sleep Drops put me to sleep?
Additional Notes:
These pills are made with RSO and hemp extract. Full-spectrum cannabis oil (RSO) seems to produce superior results for me, and I know others who consume edibles say the same thing. I think they are definitely worth trying, especially if you can get your hands on the sample packs. No long-term commitment or huge expense if they don’t work for you.
I think they make a version of these that are all-hemp and therefore would be federally legal and available for shipment. These were purchased from my dispensary in a legal state (Illinois) so I can’t vouch for the non-weed stuff.
