CBD syrup is thick, flavored, syrup infused with CBD that has a look, taste, and feel akin to cough syrup. In addition to cannabidiol, many CBD syrups also include melatonin as a sleep aid, natural terpenes, and herbal additives infused into the mix.
CBD syrup works as an intake method for cannabidiol that doesn’t require smoking and can potentially have a quicker onset than other methods like capsules or gummies. It is also often marketed as an intake method for people who don’t like the flavor of CBD oils and would prefer to mix in a little sweet syrup with a soft drink to help it go down easy.
Most companies recommend consuming around 1-2 teaspoons or a tablespoon of their syrup either before bedtime for the nighttime versions, or in the morning on a daily basis for the daytime versions.

Is CBD syrup lean?
Long a main-stay of hip hop – especially in the South – “lean” is codeine and promethazine cough syrup that is usually mixed with Sprite in a styrofoam cup and sipped while listening to some slowed down rap.
Lean has inspired an entire genre of hip hop and a sound that can be heard throughout the industry today, but what if anything does it have to do with CBD syrup? Nothing, at least not when it comes to the actual ingredients.
Most CBD syrups today, especially those sold in non-legal cannabis states contain cannabidiol, a non-intoxicating cannabinoid. It does not produce an intoxicating high, though it can bring on a relaxing, even sedative effect, especially if it includes melatonin. But it is far from providing the same narcotic effect as codeine and promethazine cough syrup. Promethazine based cough syrups are extremely addictive because of their opioid ingredients, and can be fatal in high doses.
But CBD syrup and lean do have one thing in common – the marketing used by CBD makers, who often refer to it as “CBD lean” or “CBD lean syrup.” Many CBD syrups seem to be trying to appeal to the look and vibe of consuming lean. The bottles and syrup are often purple like lean (aka “purple drank”) and users often recommend mixing the syrup in with some Sprite, which would bear a close resemblance to “dirty Sprite.”
How much CBD syrup should you take?
Most CBD syrup brands recommend consuming either 1-2 teaspoons or around a tablespoon, typically at bedtime. The bottles are typically pretty small, just four ounces. This comes to just 8 tablespoon doses per bottle, so your dosing considerations may also include the price point and how long you want the bottle to last.
If you already take CBD on a regular basis, consider taking a dose of CBD syrup that corresponds to your typical dose with gummies, tinctures, or other intake methods. If you’re trying out CBD syrup for the first time though, you may want to try a half dose first just to see if it isn’t too strong. This is especially true if using a syrup that includes melatonin.
Can CBD syrup get you high?
CBD syrup does not contain THC and thus will not produce the same intoxicating effect of smoking cannabis. But CBD can have a calming, anxiety-reducing effect that could be considered a “high” in it’s own right, though not what one would associate with being stoned or really high. In addition, the melatonin can potentially produce a sedative effect, but not one that can truly be compared to a standard THC high.
Potential side effects of CBD syrup
Because it contains cannabidiol, CBD-infused syrup can potentially cause some of the same effects of any other CBD product. The side effects of CBD can include diarrhea, irritability, liver injury, and somnolence, among others. In addition, CBD products can potentially have harmful interactions with a variety of prescription drugs, including some anti-epileptic drugs, benzodiazepines, and antidepressants.
