Sleep is a problem than has gotten worse throughout the years. Prescriptions have too many side effect, so I went to THC.
I use CBD for my PN, but the THC does not put me to sleep. Is there a particular brand or strain that works best? When I first tried Marijuana in my youth, some party people got very sleepy, but that was never a side effect for me. I thought I just did not take in enough inhaling. Now, I have tried several brands, even buying the most expensive to see if that was the answer. Nope.
I sure wish I could solve my sleep problem!! Any ideas out there?

You should be smoking or eating edibles that are of the strain "Indica". The other strain is Sativa and it revs you up, not calms you down. There are hybrids also. Just get Indica.
Yes if your doctor could prescribe Marinol its a THC pill which works good for sleeping.
Also try this supplement Gotu Kola. Look it up its been around for hundreds of years. Helps sleep.
Warm bath, reading, praying. But I also take Gabapentin, Baclofen, Lorazepam and Tramadol when the pain is severe, and I can't get any relief!

Hi @fala, nice to see you again. I remember that you are having trouble sleeping or is it getting to sleep. With me, it is getting to sleep. Whew....my mind just jumps around. I do some concentrated breathing and focus on positive thoughts in a mindful way. I also reduce my THC but don't get rid of it because then you give up the entourage effect. For me, that means a 2:1 CBD/THC dosage. How much are you using? I use a full dropper and the under-the-tongue method about 30 minutes before lights out. I also stay off my devices and repeat some mindfulness/meditation messages to myself.
Do you take naps during the day? Long ones? Short ones?
May you find rest and contentment.
Chris
