LET’S TALK ANXIETY
Anxiety is a normal emotion to experience until it becomes a problem. It helps us stay clear of danger or perilous situations. But anxiety can also have a negative effect on everyday life. It can be triggered even when there’s no danger in sight, just in the mind. Hence the phrase “state of anxiety.” Anxiety can happen to you anywhere and anytime, working its way into your daily routine. Maybe you’re pushing your cart down the condiment aisle in the grocery store looking for that elusive organic ketchup that’s on your grocery list with the word ”organic” heavily underlined (your daughter’s handiwork). Then suddenly, your heart starts to flutter. The cart comes to a halt, and the only thing you can think of is your daughter’s teenage ire. You try to catch your breath and put your hand on your chest to feel your heart pounding. Your hand is sweaty, warm, and damp against your shirt.
You might recognize these feelings from previous incidents. Like when your heart started knocking in your chest seconds before you jumped on that video call recently. You were fine until your face appeared in a box on the screen. Is it something about that constricted space—the “box”—that’s making your heart race now? Or, moments later, was it the sight of others in boxes all staring back at you? Is your microphone on mute? Your heart pounds faster, anticipating a bad meeting. Or how about when you were maneuvering your luggage at full speed past Gate 2 around “people obstacles” at the airport with minus zero plus minutes to catch your flight leaving from Gate 22? How can you catch your breath when everything in your body says, “Go, go, go!”
Anxiety can occur even when there is seemingly no reason to be stressed. You could be at home lying back on the couch with the remote flipping through channels. Just the frustration of not finding anything to watch can trigger anxiety. As you keep stabbing at the remote, you feel anxiety nagging at you, asking why you are wasting valuable time on the couch when you could be doing all those things that you know you should be doing. You’re constantly being held back from doing what you really want to do, like a daily battle against yourself. Everything is against you. Even the TV. (If only there were a button on that remote that could turn your heartbeat down!). Anxiety can turn up at any time and be felt in many different ways by everyone. It can feel like a small shift in your mood or as big as something taking over your body, moving into your chest, like a wave you want to release. Anxiety might even feel like a roller coaster ride; it’s the ride up the hill with the constant wondering what’s on the other side and questioning if your seatbelt will keep you safe. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 18% of U.S. adults will experience anxiety at some point. And about 4% of adults have anxiety disorders classified as severe. Already, the pandemic has increased anxiety and depression cases by 25%.
But while anxiety sometimes interrupts our lives, it doesn’t have to take control of it. It’s helpful to be aware of common anxiety signs and symptoms that can come on quickly and may feel like they’re coming out of nowhere. This includes feeling nervous, restless, or tense, the feeling of dread and impending danger, panic or doom, rapid breathing, hyperventilating, and an increased heart rate. Even having trouble focusing or concentrating on a task you’re trying to finish can signify anxiety. It’s possible you could also be feeling the urge to avoid things that trigger anxiety.
Anxiety can constrict both the body and the mind. The tension is physical and mental. The best way to ease anxiety is simply to relax. But easier said than done, we hear you mutter through clenched teeth. The two things are opposing factions. When you feel anxious, everything seems to tighten up. Your muscles and tendons constrict, and your mind narrows with negative thoughts. So how to transform that fear and worry into a tranquil mind and a calm body? The power of the mind over the body is, of course, one way to control anxiety. Another is 1906 Chill.
Alleviating the feelings anxiety brings on was a key reason we created Chill. Knowing how prevalent uneasiness, worry, and fear have come into our daily lives, we knew cannabis and other plant medicines could help ease anxiety. With a high dose of CBD (25 mg), Chill was created from cannabis and two plant medicines widely used for their calming properties: L-theanine helps to soothe an overactive mind (those inner thoughts telling it’s time to get out of the grocery store) while helping you to put the brakes on constant overthinking. Chill also contains an amino acid from green tea, stimulating the brain’s soothing alpha waves. This can lower stress, reduce anxiety, decrease depression and even improve creative thinking (like: “Maybe I’ll make something totally new for dinner!”) Not only can Chill help you make those little decisions, but it’s great for helping you take on the bigger things in life, too. Work decisions, family matters, and love relationships, to name a few. We all know stressful life can be. Sometimes just coping with everything the day throws your way is enough to cause anxious thoughts to take up residence in your brain. And when 6 P.M. rolls around, and that overworked, forever-analyzing brain starts thinking “cocktail-time,” think Chill instead. Chill is also a great replacement for alcohol. After a long day of planning, texting, emoji-ing, organizing, and just pushing a shopping cart through a busy grocery store, it can help you relax. So even when tasks like buying ingredients for dinner become stressful, they can be made more manageable with Chill.
SEE WHAT WE’RE MADE OF
Is today going to be a Bliss Day or Chill Day? Well, that depends on what’s on your calendar and how you want to approach the day. The best guide is your knowledge of what 1906 Drops can do for you.
But ingredients can be confusing. If the name doesn’t sound like a science project, will it work? So how do you find out more about the ingredients in our drops? You just click on them. That’s because we’ve partnered with ClearForMe, an innovative technology that shows you every ingredient in 1906 drops and gives you a clear, thorough description of how each one works. Just click on the drop of your choice on any page of our site, and the information is right at your fingertips. With ClearForMe, the information shows up in real-time, so it’s always up-to-date. If we change an ingredient, the change will show up immediately in our product description. You’ll always have the latest facts anytime you want to do an ingredient search. Our founders are excited to partner with ClearForMe: “Education ofconsumers is a core value of 1906. This feature now provides even greater transparency for consumers to understand better how 1906 works with cannabis and plant medicines in order to create the best cannabis experience.”
ClearForMe was created by Sabrina Noorani. It all started by asking a simple question we’ve all thought about in drug store aisles and now dispensaries: “What’s in this product?” But it’s not enough to know what’s in the product. You also want to know what it does to get the expected results. ClearForMe provides “clickable ingredients” that are easier to understand because it also tells you how each ingredient works. It’s referred to as “ingredient definitions on demand” because it works in real-time to provide more information when you need it. The technology helps you navigate ingredient confusion, so now, when you’re trying to decide the correct 1906 drop for the right time to give you the effects you’re looking for, the answer is just a click away. With an ever-growing and evolving database of over 1.6 million ingredients, it standardizes the ingredient products based on their technical specifications.
ClearForMe also works fast. So if you’re getting psyched up for a work presentation but feel anxious while memorizing your notes, “Sceletium Tortuosum” in Bliss could be precisely what you need to get a round of applause after your last slide. Or perhaps you need to focus on organizing your files on your desktop for the umpteenth time today? You’re just a click away from discovering that Bacopa supports intelligence, cognitive performance, nervous system rejuvenation, and brain function. “See ya’, messy desktop.” With Bacopa, you’ve got just what you need to keep your brain going. And let’s say you’re not quite ready to fluff up your pillow to get a good night’s sleep. You’ll find every ingredient in 1906 drops on our site just by clicking on them, so you can learn more about each one and know what it does for you.
The technology is not only beneficial but also user-friendly. There’sno more looking up each ingredient to find out if it’s right for you. ClearForMe gives you the factual information needed to make informed and confident decisions at your fingertips. The 1906 team believes we’ve found the perfect partner in ClearForMe. ClearForMe is the ingredient of education and transparency that’s as important to us as it is to you. It’s an unbiased, non-judgemental resource that helps you make smart, informed choices. The more knowledge you have about a product, the more confidence you have knowing the product will work for you. It all comes down to helping you do all the life stuff better, and now we’ve made that even easier.

IT’S GO TIME
MEET GO: 1906’s ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE ENHANCER
Go is an amazing energizing alternative for people who feel anxious when using caffeine or sativa products. That’s because the caffeine in Go synergizes with an amino acid from green tea, L-theanine. When the two work as a pair, the L-theanine drastically reduces the jittery, shakey, or anxious effects we may get from caffeine alone. The end result? A lucid, vibrant energy felt in the body, and not just the brain.

Great to see you, Michigan.
When we started our company in 2017, we knew we were on to something big. We knew that cannabis has numerous positive effects on health and happiness, but we wanted to make it fit your life, needs, and your pockets. So we rolled up our sleeves, got to work, researched, tested, and tested again. Finally, we knew we had it. We created easy-to-swallow drops that combine moderately dosed cannabis with medicinal plants to boost every area of your life. From the minute you wake up to the moment your headlands back on the pillow, we created a way to live your day to its fullest: 1906 Drops.
Why “1906”? Well, that’s a good question. We chose this name because that was the last year in America that cannabis was widely accepted as a beneficial medicine. The Wiley Act was enacted the following year, beginning nearly a century of misguided and devastating cannabis prohibition.
Our goal has always been clear: 1906 would make cannabis an accessible, life-changing medicine again. From the beginning, we knew the promise, power, and possibilities of our plant-powered tool kit. These days, health and wellness are more important than ever. The benefits of cannabis paired with medicinal plants were the way forward. After launching to great fanfare in Colorado, we moved on to Oklahoma, Illinois, and Massachusetts.
Now we’re happy to say hello to Michigan. The 1906 “toolkit for living” is finally available in this beautiful state. Michigan became the 13th state to legalize marijuana in 2008 for medicinal purposes, and licensed sales for recreational use started in 2019. It’s been a long journey, but here we are, putting all the power of plants right in your pocket.
These swallowable drops can help you become a highly functional being, as we like to say. 1906 combines plant medicines like damiana, magnolia, bacopa, and stephania with low doses of pharma grade THC and CBD to balance out your life. This combination is how we ensure each experience is distinct and always consistent. So whether that’s doing your workout (not just thinking about putting on those leggings or shorts), alleviating the jitters before your big online presentation, finding out how much you do like your partner. Once you choose your “drop,” it only takes a quick 20 minutes to take effect.
1906 Drops have zero calories and are free of allergens. They’re also incredibly portable. The small packets, canisters, and tube tins easily pop into your bag or pocket. The tins and canisters can head to the recycle bin while you head out into the world as not just you, but the “better” you.
So, where do you get energy, focus, happiness, arousal, relaxation, and sleep? We’re working with local dispensaries to provide those for you. We’re committed to offering detailed information and facts to new consumers and discounts to important communities, including veterans and seniors, who may particularly benefit from cannabis’ unique properties for natural healing. While adult-use purchasers are not tracked for demographic data, studies indicate that cannabis use by seniors has risen over the past several years. This may take some time to be where you want us to be. But we’re pleased we made it to Michigan and look forward to meeting you. Because we know when you have 1906 on our side, you can finally take on life, not just live it.
