Medical marijuana for sleep disorders?
I have tried to research this topic on the internet but like everything else, it is difficult to weed truth from fiction.
Does anyone have first-hand knowledge of medical or street pot? How it might help or hinder sleep issues. Doctors are reluctant to talk about it. I am sick and tired of chasing my tail around, throwing money at. If CPAP doesn't work you get sent to a shrink and put on another antidepressant with all kinds of unpleasant side effects. CBD oil did nothing for me and the last time I smoked pot was probably 50 years ago. I will try just about anything to get one good night's sleep.

@meri8181 unfortunately I have no recommendation. Sorry. I’ve tried gummies several times and they don’t seem to work for me. One was CBD and CBN. I didn’t sleep all night; last night one with THC CBD and CBN and I got about three hours of sleep.
@berekann
I’m going to try Kanha brand sleep gummies and see.
I currently take Medterra brand which have
100 mg L-theanine
50 mg CBD
2mg Melatonin
5 mg THC
It works quickly on an emptier stomach (2 hours after your dinner)
Lavender spray on edges of pillow helps too.
And a new spray supplement called Rejuvia is helping.
I still wake up after 3 hours but can return to sleep.
Will let you know about the CBN afterwards.
@meri8181 thanks! I saw that on online, reading a very good article by the company; thanks in advance for letting me know what you think. The lavender spray is a great idea! And that Rejuvia sounds really good - herbs and melatonin.

@longhorn1 just FYI these contain 10mg each THC, CBD and CBN. You can cut the gummies in half or quarters - all the advice is to start slow and low. If 1/4 doesn’t work for you, try 1/2 the next night.
@berekann oops, the data I gave is for boysenberry flavor. Elderberry has 10mg THC and 5mg CBN per gummie. Sorry
@marjou Yes, Indica! Many people who buy cannabis off the street have no idea if it is indica or sativa or a hybrid. This is very important when it comes to sleep. Only indica will really help sleep. Hybrid is second best choice. I get mine from the Native American Church as it is a sacrament. I also have a state medical card and the state stores can tell you which kind of THC is in their different products.
