I am not a CBD gummy connoisseur or seasoned user of CBD products. I’m simply sharing my experience with products from three sellers: Hello Mood, Neurogan, and Harbor City Hemp.
Note. I don’t do paid endorsements.
Now, CBD gummies are gummies infused with cannabis oil, extracted from hemp. The oil contains natural compounds, called cannabinoids, which are known to bestow health benefits. The oil also contains a small amount (less than 0.3%) of THC, a psychoactive cannabinoid. Due to the tiny amount of THC in them, these gummies are completely legal.
In 2023,, I started investigating CBD gummies to help with sleep issues. That’s when I found Hello Mood.
HELLO MOOD
Hello Mood was advertising a CBD gummy called Sleepytime Delta-9 THC.
Each gummy contains:
- 15 mg of Delta-9 THC
- 15 mg of CBD, a cannabinoid that helps with pain and anxiety
- 15 mg of CBN, a cannabinoid that helps induce sleep
- 0.5 mg of Melatonin
Cost: $65.00 for a months supply
After some research, I decided to give them a try. I initially ordered a 10 count. There were no ordering or shipping issues. The gummies arrived in a resealable bag. They were irregular cubes, indicating they were hand cut. The flavor and color were so unremarkable, I can barely remember them. When I tried the gummies, I was pleasantly surprised. A single gummy got me to sleep quickly and soundly. I achieved a very deep sleep and woke up feeling refreshed. My first time ingesting THC, I was surprised by the cute case of the giggles I experienced. There were no obvious issues, so I decided to order more.
Unfortunately, I had problems with subsequent orders. I received an order of gummies one month that were overly strong. When I tried them, I felt drugged. I also developed a very large painful rash. I stopped taking the gummies immediately and contacted the company, but they were not overly concerned. After the rash cleared up, I tried a new order of gummies, one that appeared to be normal strength. Unfortunately, the rash came back, stronger and bigger, along with a tenacious infection. I stopped taking the gummies and stopped doing business with Hello Mood. I simply didn’t trust their product anymore.
The company has since rebranded and are now called Mood. For me, that’s a big red flag.
After my experience with Hello Mood, I did some research and discovered that THC can weaken the immune system, which could have easily made me susceptible to the rash and infection. I began searching online for CBD gummies that don’t have THC. However, I came up empty-handed.
In 2025, my sleep issues reached a fevered pitch again. This time nightly aches and pains were a big contributing factor. So, I searched again for CBD gummies without THC and thankfully found Neurogan.
NEUROGAN
Neurogan was advertising two types of THC-free gummies: CBN+CBD and CBD.
Each CBN+CBD gummy contains:
- 45 mg of CBD
- 45 mg of CBN
Cost: $75.00 for a months supply
Each CBD gummy contains:
- 120 mg of CBD
Cost: $70.00 for a months supply
With my daytime aches becoming. as bad as my nighttime ones, I decided to give them both a try. There were no ordering issues. Unfortunately, they were shipped in an envelope that had images of cannabis leaves on it. The shipping envelope arrived ripped open, but thankfully the gummies were still there and their individual packaging intact. Packaged in heavy branded glass bottles, the gummies were perfect cubes, indicating they were individually molded. Their watermelon &.mixed berry flavor, unfortunately, was overshadowed by a bitter medicinal taste, just strong enough to remind you that these gummies are not candy.
When I tried the gummies, I didn’t feel drugged. The effects were very subtle. With the CBN+CBD gummy, I just drifted off to sleep. It felt very natural. I also achieved a deep, satisfying sleep. But what I really loved was if I decided, after taking a gummy, that I didn’t want to fall asleep that I could easily shake it off with a little will power and a cup of coffee. Now, the CBD gummy reduced my aches and pains so smoothly, I barely noticed it happening. It even calmed down my menopause symptoms. There were no rashes or infections, or problems with product consistency with subsequent orders either. I was in love.
Now, I’ll admit the monthly cost, roughly $140.00, for both gummies has forced me to tighten my belt. Luckily, I can also tolerate the gummies’ medicinal taste and was able to request plain unbranded shipping packaging to avoid shipping piracy. The weight of the glass bottles, however, is still a bit of a pain though. They are heavy and I have to be careful I don’t drop them with my weak hands. But all of this is manageable.
Despite falling in love with these gummies, I felt I needed a back-up. Just in case things went south with Neurogan. So, I continued searching for suppliers of THC-free CBD gummies and found Harbor City Hemp.
HARBOR CITY HEMP
Harbor City Hemp was advertising THC-free CBD gummies.
Each THC-free CBD gummy contains:
- 50 mg of CBD
Cost: $20.00 for 25 days worth
I ordered a 10 count. There were no ordering issues, but shipping was slow. The company’s warehouse was one county away from mine, and yet I had to wait roughly a week to receive the order. The gummies arrived in a plastic bottle. They were large, irregular and very squishy. Their tropical flavor was meh. When I tried them, I was not impressed. Pain relief was negligible and I broke out in a rash.
I’m sticking with Neurogan for now.
I hope the information I’ve shared here is helpful.
