LOS ANGELES, June 17, 2025 -- CBDfx, the largest independent CBD brand in the world, has partnered with Talker Research for an in-depth survey on stress, including its effect on daily life and the efficacy of CBD and THC in combating stress.
20% [of Americans] take CBD gummies and 30% use THC products on a daily basis in order to combat their stress.
Talker Research surveyed 2,000 Americans, who have ever tried CBD or THC, on the topic of stress. The survey was commissioned by CBDfx and administered and conducted online by Talker Research between April 30 and May 8, 2025.
Among the many findings of the survey was that, compared to just five years ago, two-thirds of Americans (67%) find themselves getting stressed easier. Among the highest stressors are increased prices (47%), running late when stuck in traffic (40%), and simple miscommunications (39%).
The survey also identified the Top 10 Smallest Things/Sounds That Cause Americans Stress:
- When I see someone that I don't want to talk to - 46%
- A knock on the front door when I'm not prepared for guests - 44%
- People talking to me when I want silence - 43%
- When my Wi-Fi is lagging or cuts out - 40%
- Listening to someone chewing loudly - 40%
- Phone calls when I'm not expecting one - 34%
- Someone near me heavy breathing - 25%
- My alarm clock/alarm - 21%
- Text message alerts - 16%
- My phone/notifications going off during a meeting - 15%
The survey found that 20% take CBD gummies and 30% use THC products on a daily basis in order to combat their stress. Users find that their stress levels are decreased by an average of 54% after taking a CBD gummy, while THC users find that their stress drops by more than two-thirds (68%). This may be why another two-thirds (67%) agree that Americans would be less stressed out if they all indulged in some CBD or THC. On a related note, nearly three in five (58%) respondents believe that there's less stigma surrounding CBD and THC products today, compared to 10 years ago.
"One of the benefits of CBD's interaction with the body's endocannabinoid system is a calming effect that works great for dialing down stress," said Jameson Rodgers, CBDfx Co-Founder. "THC can have similar positive effects—enhanced by the compound's natural mood elevation benefits—making it another great choice for stress relief."
Seventy-three percent of Americans say that stress has an impact on their quality of life and an even larger number (77%) said it has an impact on their quality of sleep. To combat this, the average respondent takes CBD gummies an average of three nights a week, while 16% use CBD gummies nightly. Respondents also average using THC products four nights each week, with 29% doing so on a nightly basis.
"Over time, lack of sleep can have a negative effect on many areas of a person's overall health, including stress. When you're tired, stress can be more difficult to manage and, potentially, can do more long-term damage," said Rodgers. "CBD sleep products can be an effective natural sleep aid. Those same calming effects that make CBD great for stress relief also make it an effective base ingredient for sleep aids, along with compounds like CBN (cannabinol), melatonin, chamomile, and other natural ingredients. THC works well with those same natural sleep ingredients, helping to elevate one's mood and help them relax before bedtime."
