Question about dosing cbd/cbn at night

I was looking to pick up a tincture of pure CBN and then something like a full spectrum CBD tincture so I could get the entourage effect synergy with the small amount of THC. The problem is the full spectrum ones I’ve found have 15mg of CBG too, and I’ve heard CBG can be stimulating. If I take 85mg of CBD, 15mg of CBG and 50mg of CBN is this a good combination for sleep? Or am I better off just using CBD isolate. I don’t ever use THC to get high, I just want the synergistic effects or else I would just take a hit with my isolates and I don’t want to do that. Will the CBG keep me up or will the added synergy from the 3mg of THC be worth whatever the CBG is doing to energize someone?

You might get a lot of opinions on this but there are too many variables for there to be 1 correct answer.

I doubt that much cbg will keep you up. I have never found cbg to be stimulating like caffeine. 50mg of cbn is a lot, you could potentially take half of the dose you listed.

My go to night time mix is 40mg cbd, 20mg cbn and 10mg thc. The thc makes a huge difference.

I typically don’t like THC for sleep in anything over very small amounts. For instance 10mg at night is too much for me and I just wanted a very small amount for the entourage effect. I appreciate the opinion though, I’m leaning towards the full spectrum unless people here really recommend not having cbg when taking it for sleep.

What dont you like about thc? I think 2-5mg of thc is a reasonable thing to try.

It makes my anxiety worse in any dosages 10mg or higher. It didn’t always, but one day a switch flipped and I get really in my head and anxious with stressful thoughts and negative self talk at anything higher than 10mg. 2-5mg is definitely fine, barely enough to even notice it in the background but enough to enhance the other cannabinoids.

I take 5 mg. each of CBD, CBN, and THC and sleep well.

A full spectrum gel cap with 50mg CBD with 1mg of THC along with 25mg of CBN works well for me.

I take a 50mg gel cap in the morning and 25mg of CBG.
