How Crescent Canna is Saving Me (and My Back) in 2025

I would be remiss if I didn't say I've tried – and loved – Crescent Canna's CBD and THC products before. So, when they came out with a few new products, I couldn't wait to give them a go, especially because one of them had the potential to provide relief from a problem I've been having for months.

Crescent Canna is one of the fastest-growing cannabis companies in the country. Their mission is to provide their customers with the highest quality hemp products at affordable prices. In this day and age, where a drive-thru cheeseburger costs about $7, it's refreshing to see a company forgo a cash grab and think about its customers.

Crescent Canna sells hemp-derived cannabis products that are legal nationwide, thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill. These products contain hemp-derived cannabinoids, including Delta-9 THC, which is responsible for marijuana's psychoactive effects. I tried CBD and THC products from Crescent Canna – and was impressed with the quality of both.

With 2024 gone, it seems everything is up in the air. The political landscape is in upheaval and my personal life is recovering from a past year of many surprises. My self-care is suffering, especially when it comes to sleep.

This is where my aforementioned problem comes in. In 2024, my Circadian Rhythm was off track and I needed some rest, but I wasn't getting any. Rather than use alcohol or pills, I suddenly remembered I had Crescent Canna's THC-Free Sleep Gummies. They are small colorful squares that come in different flavors. The problem was that I only had one left, so I took it. It helped.

In preparation for this article, Crescent Canna sent me some of their newest products, which included the Sleep Spectrum THC Sleep Gummies. I unboxed them immediately and was surprised at how big they were. They looked like candied pineapple slices, and since they were made with THC, I knew, as a lightweight, I was going to have to cut them in quarters. As a casual edible user, I have accidentally self-medicated to the point of being nearly catatonic. Even though these smelled like sweet passion fruit candy and the temptation to appease my sweet tooth was there, I just wanted a good night's rest. I loved that I could control the dose with a pair of scissors and adjust it as needed depending on my experience. The flavor was sweet with a hint of THC, but overall satisfying.

As far as falling asleep, it wasn't immediate because my brain seems to like to re-cap my day and throw in a few random stressors for good measure. But the gummy wasn't having it, and slowly replaced those thoughts with, well, nothing. My mind went blank, and I fell asleep. Upon waking, there was a little grogginess, but that was probably due to having slept a full seven hours, something I wasn't used to.

Another Crescent Canna product I absolutely love is their CBD Freeze Roller. For me, this is a miracle product; a game changer. We have a large imitation Christmas tree that we put away every year at the beginning of January. We have to carry it from the living room to the garage. It's a bit of a distance. For some reason this year, much like myself, it seemed heavier than usual. My husband kept yelling at me for dropping it, even though he was doing the same. Adding to that, we recently bought a new king-size foam mattress, which is easily over 100 pounds. We had to lug that dead-weight monster into the bedroom. By the end of the day my back was angry – so mad, it started to spasm. The pain is like having a constant cramp pressed against your kidneys. Any movement, even a cough, is so excruciatingly painful that it takes your breath away. It was time for some bed rest, Ibuprofen, and my secret weapon: The Crescent Canna Freeze Roller.

I can honestly say that this product is so effective that the pain subsided almost immediately after I applied it. I went from a pain level of 10 to a 6 in a matter of minutes. From experience, I know taking Ibuprofen alone can't do that. Using this high-quality hemp-derived CBD in combination with an NSAID cut my recovery time in half. It doesn't smell, it's not that cold (despite its name), and the roll-on applicator allowed me to reach my back easily. Additionally, as a writer, I often suffer from what feels like carpal tunnel syndrome. This roll-on is so incredibly useful for that kind of pain that it's worth its weight in gold. I keep one on my desk at all times.

For Dry January, I was excited to receive some THC drinks from Crescent Canna, including Crescent 9 Sour Watermelon THC Seltzer. Crescent Canna's award-winning Crescent 9 THC Seltzers have become the fastest growing cannabis beverage brand in the country. Their sour watermelon flavor is low-calorie, deliciously sweet, and infused with 10 mg THC.

Unlike alcohol, these seltzers give you a mellow buzz, and they taste and smell amazing. There is a hint of THC, but it's not too overpowering. They are bubbly and so unbelievably flavorful that you have to stop yourself from guzzling it or drinking another one immediately after finishing the first.

I recommend getting a group of friends together, like we did, and sharing the case so that everyone can experience this balanced buzz together. We live on the outskirts of Phoenix, where the skies are famously dark and you can see almost every star in the universe. The THC seltzer enhanced this ethereal feeling, and suddenly everyone was caught up in a conversation about how small we humans really are.

The next holiday is Valentine's Day, on February 14. There might be no better time for you and your loved one to have a romantic alcohol-free evening with some CBD or THC products from Crescent Canna (I might even take a full sleep gummy). With everything they have to offer, you can control your fun by "Netflix and chilling" with a low dose edible, or pull out all the stops with something a bit stronger.

No one knows what 2025 is going to bring, so you have to control what you can. Maybe you could make 2025 the year where holistic self-care is a priority. Check out Crescent Canna for ideas on how to do that.
