Carolina Vazquez Mitchell, an esteemed cannabis scientist who is one of the 100 million people nationwide that report having difficulty sleeping. While she rarely used cannabis recreationally, Carolina found potential in the emerging scientific evidence supporting the plant’s effectiveness at inducing sleep with minimal side effects.

After using a mixture of cannabis extract, terpenes, melatonin and valerian root supplements, Carolina started developing a formula which brought these compounds together synergistically. Her aim was to create a safe, natural sleep aid that could put her to sleep quickly and keep her asleep for a full night without respiratory problems.
