You probably don’t need us to tell you, but cannabis provides benefits well beyond getting high. In fact, clinical studies confirm that it promotes the creation of new neurons in the hippocampus, which is a scientific way of saying it manages anxiety incredibly well. However, as anyone who’s ever smoked weed knows, there are strains and products that will provide the zen you seek while others will get you so high you go to hell.
However, we bet you don’t want to go to hell — and who can blame you? Luckily, we know all the best products designed to help you decompress, because the stressors of daily life make things chaotic enough. So close your tabs, count to 10, and take a deep breath. You’re about to discover the very products that will help you reach the elusive state of Nirvana you’ve always dreamed about.

Cheeba Chews: Sleepy Chew
Cheeba Chews' latest line includes these Sleepy Chews to help you snooze. Like their predecessors, these chews are a tasty chocolate caramel.
However, these bad boys are dosed with 5 mg of THC and 2.5 mg of CBN, which is much less than the original Chews, so you'll never get too high and will always be chill.
We hate to admit it, but these make a perfect nighttime snack. Just make sure you're ready to really let go and fade away.

Fleur Marché: Relax Plz Transdermal Patches
Say yes to chillaxing with the Fleur Marché Relax Plz transdermal patches. With them, you can chill out, wind down, or reset your mood. All this is thanks to a powerful blend of Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, and other highly relaxing plant-powered ingredients.
And these patches are so easy to use. Just peel them, set them, and forget them. We tried these out on a super stressful day and we didn't snap once.
Although nothing went right, we felt totally and completely calm and tranquil. Most importantly, they last for a very long time, up to 12 hours. So just attach your patch and let the zen begin.

Try drinking it before bed as though it's your night cap. When we did, we began experiencing its calming effects within 30 minutes of consumption. Not to brag, but we felt amazing, as though our troubles simply melted away.
