Goodnight Moon, Goodnight Herbs

Goodnight Moon: Why Smoking Herbs is the Perfect Nightcap for Your Day

In the great green mind, there was a record player kind, and Putin’s red telephone to Washington D.C., and a picture of a cow jumping over the room.

And there were three dudes with beards sitting on chairs, and two kookie cats in fedora hats, and a pair of mittens made out of kittens.

A bowl of Moroccan hash, and a crazy old lady humming Trey’s guitar intro to “Stash,”

And a pipe of Bear Blend, placing all the pieces of the world back onto mend.

Yes, an intro to truly blow the mind off Margaret Wise Brown, whose iconic book only sold a mere 8,000 copies by the time she kicked the proverbial bucket, having no tragic clue she was actually immortal like Jesus.

And it’s also the perfect way to end the night – settling all the pieces back together with an herbal smoke – a moment of reflection, contemplation, and a healthy puddle of evening drool.

Herbs – and not just the kind that were recently legalized by governments across the globe – are the perfect nightcap to a hard-wrought day: a moment of peace, a toke of tranquility, and fuel for splendid dreaming.

Why Kill Time When You Can Roll It Up and Smoke It?

Now your traditional nic-fit seeks to chase an addiction and kill Time. Life’s unbearable, and your hands are as bored as school prep boys in a Pink Floyd melody that don’t need no education.

But you, an herb smoker, are different. You don’t seek to kill Time. You seek to reclaim it.

Because you prefer an herbal toke, you seek to roll Time up and smoke it – pass it to the left in a communal circle of soul blend symphony of suncinctity.

There’s a keen difference between lighting up out of habit and settling into the ritual of ceremony. Your spot on the couch (or giant puffy bean-bag chair), the quiet mood, the slow exhale that tells your mind: "The day is done."

What you put in your pipe matters. Smoking herbs isn’t about filling an addiction – it’s about filling your life with meaning, contemplation, reconnecting with nature and wonder and the steady drip-drip-drip of mindful meditation.

Good Night Herbs Jumping Over the Moon

“Good night room. Good night Moon. Good night cow jumping over the moon.”

Night is all about settling into our dreams, pulling down the curtain of the mind, and drifting into the moon of relaxation. It’s about saying goodnight to the push and pull of the day, and saying goodnight to the daylight.

Herbs can be the perfect way to do that.

We chose many of the hand-selected herbs in our blends because they imbue a sense of relaxation, turning off the world and tuning into the essence of dreams and the subconscious hum of your inner psyche. Here are a few of our favorites:

Bear Blends Perfect for Saying Goodnight to the Moon

Some of our favorite Bear Blends for unwinding at the end of the night include:

  • Dream Lodge is fragrant, flavorful, and deeply evocative and one of our stronger herbal blends, crafted for dreaming ceremonies and inner exploration. Rich in herbs traditionally associated with relaxation and dreamwork, it invites calm, quiets the mind, and awakens the imagination to the mysteries of Dreamtime. As body and mind settle into stillness, Dream Lodge creates space for deeper reflection, vivid dreams, and the wisdom of the spirit to emerge.

  • The Moon is a nurturing herbal blend crafted to encourage calm, soothe the stresses of daily life, and invite a deeper sense of inner peace. Its thoughtfully layered herbs create a gentle ritual for releasing worries, reconnecting with your spirit, and returning to a place of balance and harmony. Inspired by the quiet wisdom of the Moon and the nurturing energy of Mother Earth, this blend invites you to turn inward, trust your intuition, and reconnect with the ancient wisdom that lives within you.

  • Our Shaman blend draws inspiration from ancient traditions of healing, connection, and reverence for the natural world. Crafted with 30% hemp CBD flower, this herbal smoking blend invites a moment of stillness and reflection, creating space to reconnect with mind, body, and spirit. Inspired by the timeless tradition of gathering around the fire to share songs, stories, plant wisdom, and dance, Shaman honors the power of community, ceremony, and our deep-rooted connection to the Earth.

Slow Down: Breathe In, Breathe Out, Swim in Belly Button Keyholes

A rushed blend ruins a slow moment.

Chill out Dude. Breathe slow, bend low as a satisfied gigolo. The day is done. This is your moment.

Your belly button is a keyhole pierced with the internal light of your soul. Find your key: insert, unlock, open the gates of the garden. You’re home.
