cannabis substitute for sleep aids

[Nemachode]

I am a medical marijuana patient who grows for myself and a family member. My patient's issue is pain, but he was relieved when his cannabis use unexpectedly cured his dependance on Tylenol pms.
Because he cant use pharmaceutical pain meds he took max doses of tylenol pm every night for almost ten years.

if ur gonna use mmj for sleep make sure u try it first before using it at night, sometimes it actually keeps up me up at nite because i hadn't used yet that day, and dont forget no sativas after 10.lol

Can't be true the government says no medicinal value


Great News!

Works best for me in very low doses, almost subliminal, so that I retain enough focus to read until I fall asleep. Anything more would keep me awake.

go for some indica variety and it'll be perfect, it's good for pain and sleep aswell.

Because of lots of international travel, i seem to have permanent jet lag. I've tried lots of different things but 1/2-3/4 doses of the Indica Cheeba Chews has worked better than anything else I've ever tried.

no offense but like...duh.

Let at least one plant run long... around 2-3 weeks longer than peak harvest time. All the trichomes (not hairs) should be amber... really amber.

Stuff like that puts me out like a light in about 45 minutes. Make Holy Anointing Oil out of that and then turn it in to canna-pills. Very Effective.

Stay Safe!

I got put on sleeping pills back in October. I was severely sleep deprived from running my own business and being all stressed out about random stuff. That sucked and the sleeping pills helped in the short term, but in the long term, I had no clue what they would do to me or how they would affect me down the road.

When I would run out of herbals, I would get nervous because I don't like taking any man-made substances whatsoever. I eventually just bought more herb to get over the sleeping pill dependency, but herb is way better than those pills.

I just toke on a strong indica from about 8 pm to 10 or 11, slowly, not all at once..several mid sized bong loads and I'm really ready to hit the sack and sleep for a good 7 hours straight.

Love the herb and all it cures!

It works best for me if I don't use it at all during the day and then have some before bed. A small capsule or other edible an hour or two before bedtime feels perfect. I love drifting off to sleep while I'm feeling the high kick in and get stronger. Edibles and tinctures help me sleep better than smoking or vaporizing.

I don't use it every day now, but it's very effective taken this way 2 or 3 nights a week.

He is lucky his liver is still in good shape after max dosing Tylenol daily for ten years strait.

I think one of cannabis's strongest cases for use as a medicine is as a sleep aid. It is quite effective and it interrupts the sleepers natural brain wave patterns far less than the traditional GABA agonist medications prescribed for insomnia allowing for much more natural and restorative sleep than that granted by tranquillizers.

black domina works for me. I got a cross with bubbleberry that tastes way better than plain black domina. guaranteed to mellow ya right out.i try not to smoke it in the day time as I don't get nothing done

Even when I'm smoking a sativa hybrid that doesn't "agree" with me (due to my screwed up head), I'm always able to get a good night's sleep.

For me, if I've been dabbing throughout the day, the natural 'burnout' you feel after recovering is enough to put me to sleep. As though I've been using superglue as eye drops.

My my other half, she finds that a dab right before bed knocks her out sufficiently enough.

She uses cannabis as a means to remove her nightmares/night terrors, rather than a sleep aid.

Medibles is the way to go.

Edibles, for sure. I have RSD, so sleep can be difficult........never used any trash they sell, to sleep......I just eat a cookie!!!! No ill effects, except morning munchies.
