This is exact reason why I smoke bud. I can't turn off my brain when I attempt sleep. Without weed I can not sleep. I've quit smoking bud several times, most recently for about 2 years. The result was I could not sleep at all during the night and then walked around like a zombie all day.

So now I smoke every night before I go to sleep. It's the only time I smoke. I can't even handle smoking weed during the day time.

ya theirs actually a name for this some kind of restless mind syndrome or something...i live in one of the 33 non med states so sucks to be me but pot fixes it bottom line...kinda bs some meth head can get methadone perscribed but i cant have a plant

Sorry to weigh in late on all this good advice. I was a terrible sleeper, but now not so bad. Here's what I learned about cannabis and sleep.

THC is a stimulant. When THC breaks down, it breaks down into metabolites that make you sleepy. This why is you get sleepy a couple hours after smoking.

So never smoke a high-THC med right before bedtime. Try about an hour out from bedtime, instead.

CBD is not a insomniac's friend. That surprised me. But great for anxiety, which means it leaves you relaxed and awake.

Don't overmedicate for sleep with cannabis. Higher doses are only good for folks with night terrors or PTSD related sleep issues. Otherwise you'll wake up feeling thick, when you overmedicate.

Best varieties for sleep are linalool-heavy indicas like Lavender. Classic purps like Erkel and Grape Ape work well, too.

A good White Widow strain always knocks me out

Certain sativas work for me. Sugar Punch, by Sannie, in parituclar. Because when I wake up and can't fall back asleep my mind is too active. The head high calms that down and I go back to sleep. Indicas just make me want to get up and do stuff.

Everyone's different so experimentation is good.

It's different for everyone, for a lot of people the body high/relaxation of cbd does help them sleep. But you are correct, it's not technically a sleep aid. CBN is the only actual sleep aid.

methadone is for opiates not meth

I had tracked down cuts of cannatonic but they are out and don't seem to be getting more. I'll be picking up a platinum bubba kush cut in the mean time and I'll try that out because iv previously found it and regular bubba kush to be amazing for sleep. Anybody know of plat bubba is a faster grower or has at least a little stretch compared to regular bubba kush?
