The main difference is THC. CBD-only gummies contain CBD as their only cannabinoid, while CBD + THC gummies combine both. CBD itself does not cause a high. THC can cause a high and affect attention, coordination, and judgment. Learn more about CBD.
But cannabinoids are only part of the formula. Some gummies also contain ingredients such as L-theanine, GABA, magnesium, or melatonin. Those additions help explain the differences between classic CBD gummies, JustCBD’s CBD+ range, and nighttime formulas.
Here’s what to compare before choosing a gummy.
What does “CBD-only” mean?
CBD-only describes the cannabinoids in a formula. It does not mean CBD is the gummy’s only ingredient, or that every product labeled “CBD” is THC-free.
You can explore the JustCBD gummies collection to compare classic gummies with formulas that include additional ingredients.
What are CBD + THC gummies?
CBD + THC gummies contain both cannabidiol and tetrahydrocannabinol. The THC content is an important difference to check before using them.
These products should not be treated as interchangeable with CBD-only gummies. THC can be intoxicating, and a blend containing CBD still contains THC. Check the type and amount of THC on the specific product’s label.
CBD + THC also does not automatically mean a sleep formula. For example, JustCBD CBD + THC Nighttime Gummies specifically combine CBD, delta-9 THC, and melatonin. The added melatonin distinguishes that formula from a blend that features only CBD and THC.
Is CBD+ the same as CBD + THC?
No. JustCBD’s CBD+ range pairs CBD with additional functional ingredients. The plus sign in CBD+ does not mean the product is a CBD + THC blend.
CBD+ Calm Mixed Berry Gummies contain CBD, GABA, and L-theanine. Melatonin is not listed among their ingredients.
CBD+ Sleep Raspberry Gummies contain CBD, L-theanine, magnesium, and melatonin. Both CBD+ gummies include L-theanine; Sleep adds magnesium and melatonin, while Calm includes GABA.
These ingredient differences don't guarantee how you will feel. Check the product’s lab report separately if you need to confirm its THC content.
How do JustCBD’s sleep gummy formulas compare?
The sleep options have different ingredient combinations. Comparing those combinations is more useful than choosing by the word “sleep” alone.

What should you check on the label?
Before choosing, look at four things:
- Cannabinoids: Does the formula list CBD, THC, or both? Check the lab report alongside the label.
- Additional ingredients: Look for GABA, L-theanine, magnesium, or melatonin if you are comparing functional formulas.
- Amount per gummy and per serving: The total milligrams on the jar are not necessarily the amount in one gummy. A serving may also contain more than one piece.
CBD can cause drowsiness and interact with medications. Speak with a healthcare professional before use if you take medication or have a medical condition. CDC: About CBD.
Frequently asked questions
Can CBD-only gummies make you high?
CBD itself does not cause a high. However, a gummy labeled “CBD” may contain THC, so check the cannabinoid information and batch lab report. CBD can also cause sleepiness even though it does not cause a THC high.
Does “CBD-only” mean there is no melatonin?
No. Melatonin is not a cannabinoid. A formula can contain CBD as its only cannabinoid and still include melatonin or other functional ingredients. Check the complete ingredient list.
Can I drive after taking CBD + THC gummies?
Do not drive after taking THC gummies. Cannabis can affect reaction time, coordination, and decision-making. Follow all product warnings, including drowsiness warnings on CBD products. CDC: Cannabis Health Effects.
Where can I find the lab results?
The CBD+ Calm, CBD+ Sleep, and CBD + THC Nighttime product pages state that lab results are available through the QR code on the packaging. Match the report to your product and batch, then review the cannabinoid results. See the CBD+ Calm product details.
