For migrating this, you can do the following. Payload in this case was originally a json field.

  class AlterJsonbToJsonAndBack < ActiveRecord::Migration                      
    def up                                                                     
      change_column :dynamics, :payload, 'jsonb USING CAST(payload AS jsonb)'  
    end                                                                        

    def down                                                                   
      change_column :dynamics, :payload, 'json USING CAST(payload AS json)'    
    end                                                                        
  end
