CBD Gummies for Stress and Anxiety: 5 Best Tried and Tested Options for 2024
Our testers have found CBD helpful for anxiety and stress, but it’s best when coupled with other methods. With that in mind, we chose these as the best CBD gummies for anxiety.
In a 2023 Healthline survey, 79% of those who reported being interested in trying CBD said they were specifically interested in CBD gummies. And while older adults are interested in CBD as a pain management tool , younger adults said they are drawn to CBD for its potential to reduce anxiety.
In this article, you’ll find our picks for the best CBD gummies for anxiety — all expertly vetted by our team. Our editors have tested all the gummies in this article and provided feedback to help make shopping a little easier for you.
Brands may have provided some of the gummies below for free. However, our opinions and reviews are ours alone and have not been reviewed, approved, or otherwise endorsed by the brands.
Editor’s pick 4.7 (13+) from Aspen Green CBD type: full-spectrum
CBD potency: 100 mg per gummy with 5 mg THC Price per mg: $0.08 per mg Price: $89.99 Use code “HEALTHLINE†for 20% off .
Healthline’s review
Aspen Green Bliss Organic CBD Gummies contain 100 milligrams (mg) CBD — a very potent dose — and 5 mg THC. It’s one of the strongest CBD gummies we recommend.
If you do not want to feel psychoactive effects, or if you’ll likely be tested for cannabis use, it’s best to skip these gummies. Our tester noted experiencing a psychoactive-like feeling more so than other gummies she has tried.
In her case, it was beneficial for quieting anxious thoughts before bed. If you haven’t experienced results for anxiety symptoms with other gummies, this high potency option could be worth trying.
Flavored and colored with natural plant-based sources, these gummies are U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) certified organic.
Aspen Green also has assistance and discount programs for military personnel, first responders, medical professionals, teachers, students, disabled people, low income households, or people who are unemployed. The discount is 35% to 60% off for those who qualify.

What our tester says Super tester Christy Snyder has tried dozens of CBD products and first tried this one for 2 weeks, taking one gummy in the evenings for stress relief and to relax after work. She has managed anxiety for most of her life, and while she takes medications, she finds that taking CBD helps give her body an additional push to relax and release some of the physical tension that anxiety causes.
She described the taste of this Aspen Green Bliss gummy as tropical — a mix of pineapple, pina colada, and berries.
“It’s a little hard to describe because I found the flavor pretty complex. It does have a hint of a medicinal taste on the finish and aftertaste. It’s not my favorite flavored gummy, but it’s also not the worst. Definitely middle ground.â€
She felt the effects for about an hour, and they were more intense than other gummies, as expected. “I felt a little fuzzy and slightly high. It made me fall asleep very quickly.†(Note we also recommend this as one of the best CBD gummies for sleep. )
“I cut this gummy in half the first few times that I took it (note: I am an advanced CBD tester, having tried many CBD products over the years) and then gradually moved up to taking the full gummy. This potent dose is best for folks with CBD experience who are interested in the potential benefits of the entourage effect .â€

Healthline’s review
Cornbread Hemp uses CBD extracted from hemp flower only, without the stem, stalk, or leaves. According to the brand, this results in a better flavor.
All four testers of these gummies gave positive feedback about the flavor. They found them sweet with a slight hemp and medicinal flavor that’s not uncommon with higher potency CBD gummies.
Two testers who have anxiety reported varying levels of support for their symptoms. One felt the gummies helped with end-of-day anxiety that creeps up despite having a good regimen of other anxiety medication and therapies. Another still experienced some racing thoughts.
Meanwhile, two additional testers found they slept better and stressed less while taking the gummies, so if you experience mild anxious thoughts before bed, you might also find these beneficial.
Each gummy has 50 mg of CBD and 2 g of THC. Cornbread Hemp also offers two lower potency versions, with 20 or 25 mg of CBD per gummy and only 1 mg of THC. All versions are organic, plant-based, and made without gelatin, corn syrup, or artificial colors. So they are a good option for vegans and vegetarians.
We also appreciate that they are packaged in a recyclable glass jar.
Note: Although the amount of THC by percentage is below the legal limit, there is still up to 2 mg of THC in each serving. Depending on your tolerance and sensitivity to THC, that may be enough to feel some intoxicating effects.

What our tester says Healthline team member Heather Riesebeck has tried several treatments for severe anxiety symptoms, including therapy, several SSRIs, an NDRI, and herbal supplements.
Ultimately, therapy and medication prescribed by her doctor have been the best solution, but she often still finds that stressors from the day increase her anxiety by the middle or end of the day. Cornbread’s gummies proved helpful for her when she tested in 2024.
“The only herbal remedies that have worked for me to add on at the end of the day are CBD products. I often feel physical strain on my body from my anxiety, and these gummies help take the edge off and put my mind and body in a calmer state, while still keeping me fully functional and alert, unlike other remedies and treatments I have tried.â€
Jamie Elmer , another Healthline team member who has managed anxiety for many years, experienced somewhat neutral results during our 2024 testing.
“On the first night, I felt the effects within 2 hours. I felt a little high and sleepy, though my mind did race a bit,†she said. “On the second night, I felt no side effects at all. I noticed no real changes in my anxiety levels (though I wasn’t notably anxious either day).â€
She continued testing for an additional 3 weeks.
“I didn’t notice a significant change in either my anxiety or difficulty falling asleep. While my anxiety did not seem to improve, it did not worsen either.â€
She felt the the Cornbread Hemp Berry Gummies were some of the best tasting CBD gummies of the 10 or gummies she has tried. “The berry taste is deep and fruity and manages to mask the CBD and THC taste really well. It also has a really good texture that melts in your mouth.â€
A third tester, who was one of our original testers in 2o22, was also pleasantly surprised by the flavor of these gummies. “They have a slight hemp flavor, but it’s not too strong, so the berry flavor comes through nicely. There’s also a small coating of sugar on the outside of the gummy that adds a touch of extra sweetness.â€
As a vegetarian, she has a hard time finding gummy products that do not contain gelatin. These gummies checked that box for her and still had a great texture.
Lastly, another original tester from 2022 had 1 or 2 gummies at night over the course of 3 consecutive days. While she did not test them specifically for anxiety, she did feel they helped her sleep better, so they may prove helpful if anxious thoughts are keeping you awake.
“It made me drowsy pretty quickly, within an hour or two of having it. I felt sleepier faster or sooner than I normally would. I didn’t change my nighttime habits other than taking the gummies. I found I also slept through the night without waking-up until morning,†said Candice Abellon.

Healthline’s review
The extra-strength CBD gummies from Sunday Scaries have 25 mg of full-spectrum CBD each. They aren’t as strong as the other gummies on our list but are a jump up from the brand’s standard gummies that have 10 mg of CBD each.
Our testers experienced fairly mild effects. One said they made her feel mellow during the day without zonking her out. So the gummies may be ideal for daytime stressors and more tame bursts of anxiety during the day.
Another tester who has generalized anxiety disorder took them in the evening and noticed the strongest effects (which she described as a 3 out of 10 with some brain fuzziness) on day 3 when taking two gummies about 1 to 2 hours before bed.
The gummies have a full-spectrum CBD oil blend along with other minor cannabinoids, including cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabinol (CBN).

What our tester says Elmer tried these gummies for 3 nights. “On the first night, I took 1 gummy (25 mg CBD) close to bedtime and noticed no side effects. On the second and third nights, I took 2 gummies (50 mg CBD) as per the serving size.â€
When she took the gummy on the second night closer to bedtime, she didn’t notice any effects. But on the third night, she took the gummies earlier and felt what she describes as a light (3/10) high, along with brain fuzziness.
A previous tester, Samantha Kostaras, liked that they didn’t knock her out even though they were stronger than the 10 mg gummies she was used to.
“It looks like a gummy bear. The texture is a little tougher than what you’d expect from a gummy bear, but it isn’t hard to chew.â€

After taking the CBD gummies, they were able to help relax my mind and quiet down the thoughts. I want to say it is equivalent to having a glass of wine to wind down after a long day, without the buzz feeling. I also noticed that it did not make me drowsy. However, within 30 to 45 minutes, I was ready to just lay in bed.
“I’ve had anxiety for as long as I can remember and insomnia since separating from the military. I have tried many OTC medications as well as prescribed for insomnia, and either the medications gave me weird dreams or I was still awake, or I felt like a zombie the next day and could not go on with my daily tasks. With my anxiety, I have been able to cope well with using applications like the Calm app or doing tapping therapy, and also talking with a therapist.
“I have a routine to help prepare me for sleep: turning off all electronics 1 to 2 hours before bed and I either meditate, focus on my breathing, or read a book if my mind is too distracted. Since taking the gummies, this really helps in getting me to my goal of sleeping on time, or putting me in a relaxed state of mind. I have not tried just taking the gummies alone without doing my routines for coping with my anxiety and insomnia, but I will say it helps adding them to my routine and is beneficial.
“On the first day, I wanted to say that I felt [the effects of the gummies] within the first 15 to 20 minutes, and I was ready to go to sleep. After day 2, it took 30 to 45 minutes to feel relaxed.â€

It’s worth noting that while promising evidence anxiety , research is limited. We’ve yet to see any studies about how CBD gummies specifically affect anxiety symptoms over tinctures or other forms. Your experience may vary based on the intensity and cause of your anxiety. CBD certainly isn’t a cure-all, but it can be a helpful supplemental tool.
More research is needed to better understand the relationship between CBD and anxiety, but what we know so far is promising. Research

However, more than half of the participants experienced mild side effects, like fatigue, hot flashes , and low mood.
It’s easy to purchase CBD gummies over the counter. However, that doesn’t mean it’s without risks.
If you’re taking medication for any type of anxiety disorder, don’t assume you can stop taking it and use CBD instead.
More research is needed before CBD can be considered an effective treatment alternative. And right now, it’s not an approved treatment for any mental health condition. There are also no studies on its potential long-term effects.
Another thing to keep in mind is that while CBD may help bring calm, THC has the potential to induce panic attacks in some people. That means people with anxiety might respond negatively to full-spectrum CBD, which contains both THC and CBD.
If you have anxiety and want to try CBD, make sure to talk with a clinician, doctor, or mental health professional before doing so.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states Epidiolex , are safe, there is less certainty about other CBD products. There is still a lot we don’t know about how CBD works and whether it is safe.
CBD may interact with certain medications, including those with a grapefruit warning . It’s important to talk with a clinician before trying any kind of CBD product, especially if you take medications or supplements.
Be careful about what you eat when taking CBD. Taking a chew or gummy alongside a high fat meal can heighten your risk of experiencing side effects, according to a 2020 study
Lastly, keep in mind that CBD gummies look a lot like candy, but they’re only intended for adults over 18 years old. Keep them out of reach of children and pets.
What CBD dosage is best for anxiety? Check the product label for the manufacturer’s recommendation. However, the appropriate dosing for you will depend on your body chemistry, weight, and tolerance levels, which means some trial and error may be warranted.
If you’re new to CBD, it’s best to start with a low dose to assess the effects before increasing the dose. You might consider starting with half a gummy (depending on potency), waiting a few hours, and then taking the other half if needed.

Do CBD gummies help with panic? Panic disorder is a form of anxiety. There are some animal studies that suggest CBD oil may help by reducing the flight-and-freeze response. However, more studies are needed to determine whether CBD, and specifically CBD gummies, can help with panic disorder.

CBD gummies may help if you have anxiety, though more research is needed to determine their risks and benefits.
Gummies are also a great way to try CBD for the first time. They’re easy to dose and don’t have the aftertaste of other cannabis-derived products.

Is CBD legal? The 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp from the legal definition of marijuana in the Controlled Substances Act. This made some hemp-derived CBD products with less than 0.3% THC legal at the federal level. However, CBD products containing more than 0.3% THC still fall under the legal definition of marijuana, making them illegal at the federal level. Some states have legalized CBD, so be sure to check state laws , especially when traveling. Also, keep in mind that the FDA has not approved nonprescription CBD products, and some products may be inaccurately labeled.
