The world of cannabinoids is vast and intriguing, often sparking curiosity and interest from seasoned researchers and the general public related to their benefits. With increasing attention on the potential therapeutic benefits of compounds like CBD (cannabidiol), CBN (cannabinol), and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), there’s one term that has gained significant traction in recent years: The Entourage Effect.

At Slumber, we want to equip our community with as many health and wellness resources as possible. In this in-depth exploration, we’ll dive deep into the concept of the entourage effect and the compounds represented and explore the benefits of CBD, THC, and CBN using reputable sources and peer-reviewed research studies published both domestically and internationally. We hope to shed light on how each cannabinoid can benefit the general population, and when combined, it might amplify the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids.

It’s important to tell you that statements about CBD, THC, and CBN have not been reviewed by the FDA, and that any information Slumber relays to our community is not meant to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease. If you are unsure whether these compounds are right for you, please consult your primary care physician for a professional opinion.

Cannabinoids: CBD, CBN, and THC

While cannabis boasts over a hundred different cannabinoids, CBD, CBN, and THC are among the most researched and discussed. Each of them has unique characteristics that we want to lay out for you:

  • CBD (Cannabidiol): Known for its potential therapeutic benefits without the intoxicating effects, CBD has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, and neuroprotective properties. When thinking about CBD, you can qualify the potential benefits into enabling better sleep, pain and inflammation mitigation, and stress and anxiety reduction. Some of CBD’s most common form factors include tinctures and CBD gummies.
  • CBN (Cannabinol): Lesser-known but equally intriguing, CBN is gaining attention for its potential sedative effects and possible benefits for sleep. CBN can come in various forms such as a tincture, gummy, and capsule.
  • THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol): Famously associated with the “high” of cannabis, THC has its array of potential therapeutic effects, including pain relief and appetite stimulation. One of Slumber’s highlighted products that showcases this compound’s benefits is the Afternoon Delight – a THC gummy combined with CBD.

The Science-Backed Benefits of CBD: What the Research Tells Us

Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating compound derived from the Cannabis sativa plant, has taken the health and wellness industry by storm in recent years. While anecdotal accounts tout a range of benefits, what does the scientific literature actually say? In this essay, we’ll dive into peer-reviewed journal articles to explore the documented benefits of CBD, shedding light on this captivating compound. Please keep in mind that we are elevating scientific studies that are published in the United States as well as internationally. Some studies use rodents and human subjects to arrive at the outcomes.

1. Potential Anti-inflammatory Properties

One of CBD’s most widely recognized benefits is its potential anti-inflammatory properties. A study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine found that CBD significantly reduced chronic inflammation and pain in some rodents. Such findings are promising for conditions characterized by inflammation, such as arthritis or chronic pain.

2. Anxiety and Stress Relief

One of CBD’s most widely recognized benefits is its potential anti-inflammatory properties. A study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine found that CBD significantly reduced chronic inflammation and pain in some rodents. Such findings are promising for conditions characterized by inflammation, such as arthritis or chronic pain.

3. Neuroprotective Potential

According to research, CBD’s interaction with the endocannabinoid system may provide neuroprotective benefits. A study in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology indicated that CBD might prevent neurodegeneration related to diseases like Alzheimer’s and Multiple Sclerosis. Again, this is not intended to relay that CBD is able to prevent serious diseases, but our goal at Slumber is to equip you with knowledge and understanding of the potential benefits from early-stage research. Please do not take this as a statement recognizing CBD or any of Slumber’s products as a cure for serious illnesses, but rather another resource to consider when considering your health and wellness routine. We always encourage our community to consult with your medical professional about any supplements you consider incorporating.

4. Epilepsy and Seizure Management

One of the most groundbreaking discoveries surrounding CBD’s benefits relates to its effect on epilepsy. The New England Journal of Medicine published a clinical trial that demonstrated a significant reduction in the frequency of seizures in patients with Dravet syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy. This led to the approval of Epidiolex, a CBD-based drug, by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

5. Potential Skin Benefits

CBD’s potential anti-inflammatory properties might extend to skincare. A study in the Journal of Clinical Investigation found that CBD could regulate the production of sebum, potentially offering therapeutic avenues for conditions like acne. In our opinion, topicals have some promising early research results and overall potential, but we would be remiss if we did not mention that topical benefits are among the least explored in the cannabinoid industry. For any new research findings, we will be sure to update our resources accordingly so that our community has access to the latest research findings available online.

6. Support for Sleep and Insomnia

Emerging research also suggests that CBD might play a role in sleep regulation. A study in The Permanente Journal demonstrated that CBD could help increase sleep duration, potentially benefiting those with insomnia or other sleep disorders. Our sleep study also corroborated these findings and showed that CBD, combined with CBN and THC, produced an extra hour of sleep per night as compared to evenings where the Slumber Deep Zzz gummy was not used.

While these findings are promising, it’s crucial to note that many of the studies conducted so far are preliminary. More extensive human trials are required to ascertain the full spectrum of CBD’s benefits. Furthermore, individuals should always consult with a healthcare professional before adding CBD or any supplement to their regimen.

With increasing research and growing interest, the potential benefits of CBD continue to expand. As the scientific community delves deeper into this fascinating compound, it’s evident that CBD might just live up to its celebrated status in the health and wellness realm.

The Therapeutic Benefits of THC According to Research

Tetrahydrocannabinol, more commonly known as THC, is frequently associated with the psychoactive effects of cannabis. However, beyond its recreational use, recent scientific inquiries have delved into the potential therapeutic benefits of THC. As a key component of the Cannabis sativa plant, THC's medicinal potential has sparked widespread interest, transforming its perception in the medical and scientific community. Furthermore, many states around the country have recognized the medicinal value of THC, shown by the movement for the legalization of medicinal marijuana in states like Colorado, California, and New York.

1. Pain Management

Chronic pain affects millions globally, and finding effective treatments has been a challenge for the medical community. A comprehensive review in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management found that THC can significantly reduce neuropathic pain, offering an alternative to traditional pain relievers. As we think about and observe the domestic issue associated with opioids and pain mitigation, we also recognize that alternatives to pharmaceutical options could play a significant factor for people looking to wean themselves from substances that show addictive properties resulting in more than 80,000 opioid-related overdose deaths in 2021.

 

2. Appetite Stimulation

One of the well-documented effects of THC is its ability to stimulate appetite. A study in Psychopharmacology demonstrated that THC could effectively enhance appetite and reduce weight loss in patients. The American Cancer Society has published a variety of ways in which THC affects symptoms of cancer patients ranging from reduction of nausea in chemotherapy patients, improved food intake with HIV patients, and the reduction in required pain medication for certain patients.

 

3. Antiemetic Properties

For patients undergoing treatments like chemotherapy, nausea and vomiting can be debilitating side effects. THC has shown promise as an antiemetic. A peer-reviewed article in the British Journal of Pharmacology highlighted the efficacy of THC in reducing nausea and vomiting for chemotherapy patients. For anyone who has personally dealt with chemotherapy or witnessed a loved one endure chemotherapy cycles, this particular process can result in vomiting, nausea, and a whole host of other symptoms. The British Journal and American Cancer Society both cite THC’s potential in patients experiencing these taxing, enduring, and repetitive cycles of chemotherapy.

 

4. Sleep Aid

Insomnia and sleep disorders affect a large segment of the population. According to research published in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology, THC can increase sleep duration and decrease the frequency of awakenings during the night. This is one of the main reasons why we incorporate a federally legal amount of THC in our cbd products available online.

5. Potential Neuroprotective Benefits

Emerging research suggests that THC might have neuroprotective qualities. A study in the Journal of Neuroscience Research found that THC could reduce brain damage in animal models, potentially opening avenues for research into conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. Again, this is preliminary research and we want to stress the importance that we pride ourselves on making quality research available to you without making any claims that these compounds will treat or cure any diseases. While the preliminary research is promising, more research needs to be done in order to understand the potential benefits of THC fully.

 

6. Glaucoma Treatment

THC has long been discussed in the context of glaucoma due to its potential to reduce intraocular pressure, a major risk factor for the disease. Research in the Journal of the National Medical Association has shown that THC can provide short-term relief by decreasing intraocular pressure, offering potential adjunctive treatment for glaucoma patients.

While the therapeutic potential of THC is evident from the aforementioned studies, it is essential to acknowledge the side effects and the psychoactive properties associated with its consumption. Medical professionals recommend a balanced approach, considering both the benefits and potential risks. For some, the psychoactive properties of THC are not enjoyable and may induce feelings of anxiety, especially in high doses. We always recommend starting with small doses and optimizing your dose to your desired outcomes.

As the legal landscape surrounding cannabis and THC continues to evolve, more comprehensive studies are anticipated to be conducted, offering a clearer understanding of THC’s full spectrum of benefits. Staying informed and consulting with healthcare professionals is crucial for consumers and patients.

The narrative around THC is shifting. No longer just the compound responsible for the “high” of cannabis, THC is stepping into the limelight as a potential therapeutic agent, ready to redefine its role in the world of medicine. We will continuously look for ways to safely incorporate THC into Slumber’s product line so as to produce products that can safely cater to your needs.

What is the Entourage Effect?

The term "entourage effect" was first introduced in 1998 by renowned scientists Raphael Mechoulam and Shimon Ben-Shabat. It proposes that all the components present in cannabis, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, work better together than they do individually. It's a symphony of components harmonizing their individual effects to produce a stronger, combined result. Think of this concept as a symphony where all instruments together create a beautiful harmonic exploration of sound and space, whereas the instruments individually cannot produce that same outcome. Put another way, the entourage effect explores how each compound, when combined together, like in Slumber’s Deep Zzzs product, has the potential to create a more desirable outcome for the person in search of sleep in this example. One way we’ve shown that potential is through our sleep study.

How the Entourage Effect Amplifies Benefits

The entourage effect is all about collaboration. Let’s explore how these cannabinoids may potentially enhance each other’s benefits when combined together:

  • CBD & THC: Research suggests that CBD might mitigate some of the less desirable effects of THC, such as anxiety or paranoia. By doing so, users may experience the therapeutic benefits of THC with fewer side effects.
  • CBN & Sleep: While CBN is being studied for its potential sedative effects when combined with other cannabinoids like CBD, the overall sleep-enhancing effect may be amplified.
  • Terpenes: Beyond cannabinoids, terpenes (aromatic compounds in cannabis) play a vital role in the entourage effect. For instance, linalool, commonly found in lavender and cannabis, might possess potential anti-anxiety and pain-relieving properties. When combined with cannabinoids, these effects might be further enhanced.

A study published in the British Journal of Pharmacology highlighted that certain combinations of cannabinoids and terpenes could be used for several potential therapeutic applications, including pain relief, anxiety control, and even as antiseptic agents.

Furthermore, a review published on NCBI underscores the idea that the effects of whole-plant cannabis extracts are more potent than the sum of their parts, hinting at the immense potential of the entourage effect.

The understanding of the entourage effect may reshape how consumers and patients approach cannabinoid-based products:

  • Holistic Approach: Instead of seeking isolated cannabinoids, there might be a shift towards products that maintain the integrity of the entire plant. We have also seen a transition and evolution in the “CBD industry,” which indicates that other functional ingredients are combined with whole plant compounds to advance the overall efficacy of products available.
  • Personalized Medicine: With further research, personalized cannabinoid and terpene profiles can be developed to address specific therapeutic needs. As the industry continues to evolve, there may be an evolution in terpene profile management where the end customers are able to customize and tailor their terpene profiles accordingly.
  • Safety and Efficacy: As we better understand the interactions between cannabinoids, dosing can be optimized to ensure both the safety and efficacy of cannabinoid-based treatments.
