Each of their formulas is designed for specific effects, such as this one is designed to be bliss boosting with CBD effects such as helping with inflammation. Designed to lift your spirits with a functional high. Zero alcohol, zero carbs, vegan, gluten-free and sugar free.

Packaging

Lovely Day, like most of the Cosmic View tinctures, comes in a standard sized glass bottle with a child-proof lid opening mechanism. Similar to some prescription bottles, you have to push the cap down to open it. It could be difficult for folks with limited hand movement to open the cap, but I didn’t find it too difficult

The lid contains a dropper, with graduated indications for 0.5 and 1.0 mg. It can be a challenge to fill up the dropper with a full dose of 1mg, so I find it easier to use the 0.5 mark to measure out a dose. As with all cannabis infused products you ingest, always try half of your usual dose first. Each product reacts differently to our unique body chemistry.

Dosing & Taste

I first tried half of a dose – 0.5mg – from the dropper, under my tongue. The packaging suggests that you try 1/4 dropper first to gauge effects – always good advice to start low and slow.

I first tried half dose, containing around 3.5mg of CBD and 4mg of THC on a half-full stomach in the afternoon and I could start to feel the effects within half an hour. It was a very mid, relaxed feeling with some uplift but no dramatic effects. The effects lasted a few hours and indicated a full dose would be appropriate to try.

The tincture has a cinnamon-pepper-cocoa flavor with a slight cannabis taste, so I was fine not to cover up the flavor with anything. I actually love the flavor as I’m a fan of cinnamon in general, as well as pepper and cacao.

Effects

These tinctures are specially formulated to be terpene-rich, using specific chemicals that occur in cannabis to tailor the effects of the tincture. When combined with other ingredients that have similar chemical properties, in this case with the pepper, cinnamon and cacao it creates a more tailored effect than you get with products made with a mix of random hybrid strains.

After my initial test dose indicated that the effects were mild for me, I tried a full dose, 7.1mg of CBD and 8.2mg of THC. My average dose for edibles is 10mg of THC, so I didn’t expect much of the THC effects I get with a higher THC dose. I also aim for about 10mg of CBD when I’m looking for pain relief or other CBD effects. I always want a CBD product with THC, as the two compounds complement each other. I get much more relief from CBD when it is combined with THC, like the 1:1 in Cosmic View.

Initial effects for me were relaxation and uplift at the same time. Occasionally the uplift wandered into spacey territory, but it was mild and not a heavy “spaced out” feeling. The energy boosting impact was tempered with the body relaxation for a nice chill experience without being too heavy.

I experienced a good solid body effect, like I would expect from a strain that is good for relaxing the body without drowsiness. I did experience a slight increase in my senses as I have with some edibles and tinctures. A slight uplift in mood was a pleasant addition to the anti-inflammation and calming CBD effects.

I found one full dose was perfect for a noticeable, relaxing effect that was very functional. For those days when I am especially stressed or want a stronger impact, I’m okay with adding another quarter or half a dose to increase the effect, now that I know what is a solid dose for me.

I like that Cosmic View tincture provides solid relaxation without strongly sedating me. I can be functional even if I’m not especially feeling energetic, and I could kick back on the couch or talk a walk if I felt like going that way too.

Cosmic View tincture is most appropriate for times when you want a mood lift without feeling edgy or caffeinated. If you are feeling anxious or stressed or simply want to boost your mood. I found it perfect for providing uplift while keeping a relaxed yet functional feeling.
