Which Medical Marijuana is best to go to sleep and stay asleep
After a nasty case of Covid in March 2020 I developed sleeping issues. I do all the right things (diet, exercise, turn off tv and phone, room temp, etc), but still have inconsistent sleep. I finally tried 1/2 5mg Ambien last night, fell asleep at 9:30 pm, but awake at midnight. At 2:00 am took the other half and finally slept a few more hours. I have a prescription for Medical Marijuana, but it hasn’t helped either. I tried the ones recommended for sleep that have THC and CBN, as well as various mg levels of pure THC.
Any suggestions on how better to use THC or even something else? My doctor does not seem to be tuned into this problem.

No, just wondering if it had THC, but I looked it up. Thank you fir your suggestion.
I’ve tried so many different cannabis products but none help with falling asleep. I do think they help me sleep for longer periods of time though,

1 ReactionThank you. It certainly has been that way fir me, too.
I'm just wondering if medical Marianas interferes with quality of sleep. I just attended a sleep clinic and found out that I have a severe case of PLMD...in my case extremely twitchy legs which I was not aware of....well over 100 episodes every hour. This meant constant interference with my sleep and raised heart rate as well as very poor quality sleep. I had no trouble getting to sleep but invariably woke within 3 or 4 hours and couldn't get back...I took OTC antihistamines and they worked. However the sleep consultant told me they make my disorder much much worse. Don't know if anyone else has this issue? Will medical marijuana help??
I am experimenting with medical marijuana for sleep. The ones recommended to me actually made it worse. I had numerous consultations and have (maybe) now found one. It has nothing in it but THC. The ones with CBD and other things that are actually FOR sleep made my sleep worse. I am on pure 20 mg THC. My third night of 8 hours + sleep and seem to be getting better quality sleep per my Fitbit sleep monitor.

1 ReactionMust be a different company.
Some Mood gummies do contain the legal amount for THC. Since they are mail order, the amount is limited, but it is there.
It helps me since they took away my clonazepam. Not as good as the benzo but I can't have it, so this seems second best. I can't take OTC antihistamines due to having the opposite effect on me.
Is there one particular product that you use? I live in Ireland where a prescription will probably be necessary for any marijuana product.
The kind for sleep is the Indica strain.
