Let’s face it: changing the clocks back earlier this month was a real downer. Not only do the darker mornings and evenings mean less time spent outdoors or socializing with friends and family after work, but they also have a grab-bag of effects on our bodies and minds. Fewer hours of sunlight and the abrupt shift in our circadian rhythms can cause everything from the seasonal blues to difficulty falling asleep and waking back up refreshed the next day. And with the Winter Solstice and the shortest day of the year still over a month away, there’s a lot more of these days in store before we head back into the light.
Looking for some simple ways to help make your winter ahead more merry and bright? Here are five cannabis products handpicked by the team at The Pass, a vertically integrated grower and producer of adult-use cannabis products based in Sheffield, Massachusetts, that can help you cope with the shifting seasons.
The Pass Sun-Up Gummies
Infused with Vitamin C + D and 5mg of THC, these strawberry-lemonade gummies are the perfect remedy for when you need an extra pep in your step. Designed for use at the start of the day and to help uplift your mood, these popular edibles are great for pairing with daytime activities.
The Pass Knockout Gummies
Having some trouble getting to sleep? The Pass Knockout Gummies are the Sun-Up Gummies’ ideal nighttime companion. They have a natural fruit punch flavor and come infused with 2mg of melatonin and 5mg of THC designed for use before bedtime.
Howl’s Magic Tincture
For cannabis lovers looking to add some extra wow-factor to your day, try your hand at a dropper of Howl's Magic Tincture. The product was inspired by one of Howl’s first employees, who was very petite yet required two full droppers of their double-strength tincture to get the effect she needed. With a little bit of tinkering, she formulated her own mega-tincture from all their primary infusions that she labeled “Magic.”
Howl’s Magic Tincture is made via whole-plant infusion for a diverse profile of cannabinoids and terpenes and the complete spectrum of beneficial effects. With a standard strength of 250mg of THC per bottle and maximum strength of 500mg, this is the perfect product to keep those with a higher tolerance riding high on blustery winter days.
The Pass CBD Muscle Balm
Those runners among us (or even just those of us with creaky knees) will know that colder weather equals achy joints and sore muscles. Want a natural way to help find relief? The Pass’ CBD Muscle Balm has a bright peppermint aroma and leaves a cool, refreshing feeling on your skin. With 1000mg of CBD per jar and an easy-to-spread application, you'll be jonesing to get out, put on your running shoes, and get a dose of energy-boosting exercise endorphins all winter long.
LEVIA Dream Seltzer
If you’re looking for an alternative to that happy hour craft beer or glass of wine that will still help smooth out the edges of your post-work hours, try Levia’s Dream Seltzer. It’s infused with 5mg of THC and has zero sugar so you’ll have zero hangover the next day.
