Which Medical Marijuana is best to go to sleep and stay asleep

Posted by HomeAgainLA @llynch17056, Jan 6 9:30am

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.

For the Mood gummies with THC, is it 5% which I think is the legal amount?

What kind of cannabis product works for you to stay asleep? I fall asleep okay but wake up a few hours later and can't get back to sleep.

I make my own cannabis oil and use it to make brownies. I think it works better than any of the products I’ve tried.

No, it is .3%THC that is legal in almost all states and to mail order. That is quite a bit lower than you get at a dispensary. The ones I have are strong - so I take 1/4 of one gummy. I noted that if I ordered online, I would have to take multiple gummies to get 12mg THC. Some have very small amounts like 1-2mg per gummy. It varied by state what is allowable. Indica is the strain that is sedating.
