This is my initial use of CBDs for sleep. Dr recommended a vap \nand at least 8:1 ratio of CBD to THC. I have very severe insomnia. What products do you recommend. Is the pen itself seperate from the medication or are they sold together?   \"\n_____________________\nHave you received any improvement with the 8:1 CBD/THC product?  I assume you receive 2-3 hours of sleep and then wake again and have difficulty going back to sleep.  The vaporized product is excellent and potent during waking hours, but its effects are much shorter than an ingested product.  Speak to your provider about an edible at bedtime with a similar ratio and see if that offers significant improvement.\n\nNP Joshua\n_____________________\nYour 8:1  product may work for you but that would be if you were taking 1mg of THC but are you taking the correct dose? Please, be sure to read the label.\nIf you are using an oral spray, check to see how many sprays it will take to receive 1mg. If 1mg of THC is not enough, you may need to go to 2mg of THC and on up until you find your effective dose for sleep. It is the combination of CBD with THC that usually produces very effective sleep but the 8:1 is a very low dose and due to the CBDs it will also help with reducing inflammation.  However, as the other advisers have suggested an edible is more likely to keep you asleep. \n\ndrolson\n_____________________\n\r\nHello there, Let me share a thing or two with you.\r\n\r\nI'm  going to answer this from my single-handed experience since I've been suffering from Insomnia and chronic backache for a long time.\r\n\r\nCBD was suggested to me by a dear friend, I did a little bit research on it and here is what I have found:\r\n\r\nCBD stands for Cannabidiol.

Dr. Sank writes: \"Several more conservative and safe interventions should be attempted to help with insomnia related to sleep apnea before considering any cannabis product. ... If you've successfully implemented these interventions and already have good sleep hygiene but still have insomnia then you may consider a cannabis product to help with sleep. A low THC Indica derived product, specifically a high CBD low THC oral tincture is probably your best bet.\" He includes quite a bit more detail, so please have a look at his answer, which is linked here:\n\nlyp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8625-markdown","title":"Still can`t sleep :(","slug":"still-can-t-sleep","content":"\"I used One drop of CBD-THC 1:1 before bed to help me sleep and an hour latter still couldn`t sleep so I took a second drop with no results . Awake most of the night .\nThis morning I ache all over , head aches & nausea .\"\n_____________________\nI am not sure what is causing your head-aches and nausea, but it does not sound like one drop of 1:1 CBD:THC is enough for you (depending of course on the consentration). Rather than drops, take a look at the label and figure out how many milligrams you are taking. Try 2.5 mg to start, and gradually increase from there. A typical dose for someone that has difficulty sleeping is likely to be in the 5 - 10 mg range. Different people have different tolerances so start low and go up slowly. Also make sure your formulation is from and indica and not a sativa as this could have the opposite effect.\n\nmark\n_____________________\nAnother thing to consider is that CBD sometimes keeps people awake. You may want a tincture specifically for sleep. I have used one by Alta California that I liked. Often it is the THC that helps people sleep, but at just the right amount. Too much might keep you up or make you drowsy the next day and too little may not put you to sleep. Remember too that CBD counteracts some of the effects of THC and as THC is more likely what may put you to sleep a 1:1 may not be the correct ratio for sleep. Last, the cannibinoid most in the spotlight for sleeping right now is CBN, so you may want to look for a sleep product that has some CBN. I hope this helps.\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nI agree with Mark and Pamela, you may be taking too small of a dose, but with the feedback I have had from my members, CBD in most cases do not help with sleep. Alot of CBD strains are sativa strains which can be alerting and stimulating. What I have seen to be the most beneficial is a High THC tincture which is a Indica strain. This is body relaxing and in low doses can be very helpful wih sleep. The great thing about tinctures is you can start off with a very low dose and slowly increase the drops until you get your desired result (deeper and longer sleep!) When the dose is kept low you can get the medicial effects without the uncomfortable \"high\" effects of the THC. \n\nPiantaTinta\n_____________________\n \nHey there,\n\nI suggest you should try CBD products with less THC content.\n\nCBD is a big promoter of sleep and it has helped many insomniacs.\n\nCBD is known for its relaxing and soothing effect on many mental ailments like insomnia, anxiety and depression.\n\nI had a irregular sleeping cycle and CBD products with low THC content has helped me a lot.\n\nI'm going to insert a link below that might help you with your problem.\n\nhttps://www.greenroadsworld.com/collections/all\n\nHope this was most helpful!\n\n\n\n\n\nsebastianwross","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8572-markdown","title":"Is this used for sleeping?","slug":"is-this-used-for-sleeping","content":"\"What is the best & quickest way to get a good night's sleep?\"\n_____________________\nYes, cannabis can be used to help you get a good night's sleep--whether you're having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Have a look at this roundup of Q&As on the topic of insomnia--I think you'll find some helpful tips in the answers provided.\n\nlyp\n_____________________\nI highly recommend using a vape pen. I was spending a lot of money on tinctures to help my insomnia. I recently invested in a good pen and an Indica (Blackberry Kush) oil. I will never go back. It's very effective - 2-4 short hits from the pen and you feel the results almost immediately. I now keep my pen at my bedside. Unlike smoking, it's clean (no combustion, only vapor, so no toxicity).

Problem is - pot generally gives me anxiety and sometimes even panic attack. I've tried heavy CBD strains and haven't noticed any effect. Are there any powerful strains that DO NOT result in anxiety, for those prone to pot-induced anxiety? Thank you!\"\n_____________________\nHi, I tried the cbd’s for chronic insomnia, had to go to something  stronger, I found you need to stay away from sativa strains, some hybrids ( which has is a crossbreed;  the sativas and some hybrids can cause anxiety)but use any indica strain to help with sleep. Research some of the different types within the indica strains and you’ll be able to see if one makes you sleepy or relaxed, there’s a huge field to choose from, educate yourself\nabout the different types and that way someone doesn’t sell you something you don’t need! \n\nlbmenehune83\n_____________________\nSomething to remember is that there is a difference in being able to go to sleep and to stay asleep. They each can use different types of cannnabis. For difficulties going to sleep a tincture or a vape pen will have a faster affect and allow you to fall asleep. If you have no issue falling asleep but then wake up several hours later, then an edible may be the way to go. This is because an edible can take 1-2 hours to kick in and will last several hours. The effect also depends on what you have eaten for dinner and how long  you take it before going to bed.\nI also suggest keeping a sleep journal where you keep track of what you ate (briefly), what type of cannabis you used, how you slept and what you felt like in the morning. You can titrate what you used to the effect that you want.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nMy favorite \"sleepy time\" strains include Bubba Kush, Zensation, Grape Ape and 9 LB Hammer.  It was definately \"trial and error\" to find ones that work well, but they have been a game changer for me.  Good luck!\n\nbbhwithms","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8555-markdown","title":"Will THCa help with sleep? What dosage?","slug":"will-thca-help-with-sleep-what-dosage","content":"\"@pacbell.net\"\n_____________________\nActually, it's non-psychoactive CBN that can help with insomnia. Have a look at this article to learn more about how it works. As for how much to take, it depends on the individual. Everyone's endocannabinoid system is unique so you're going to need to experiment to find the right dose for you. Start out low and go slow. I found Kikoko's Tranquili-tea (which has 5 mg CBN and 3 mg THC) to help me sleep.\n\nlyp\n_____________________\nThis is highly dependent on how your system works. THCA is the precursor to THC. In my experience it really depends on how your individual endocannabinoid system works with the cannabinoid you are taking. THCA has been shown to have significant therapeutic value and the bonus is it is not psychoactive. Here is an article we did awhile back. Juyst be aware that if it becomes heated it will convert to THC. For instance, we had a heat wave this summer and my bottle was exposed to sunlight and heat in my home and it did convert.\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8543-markdown","title":"Seeking advise on which cannibis product helps with sleep and leg cramps","slug":"seeking-advise-on-which-cannibis-product-helps-with-sleep-and-leg-cramps","content":"\"The leg cramps usually occur around 1 -2 am\"\n_____________________\nProducts that help with sleep really depend on your own chemistry and what works best for you. I am able to go to sleep with a high CBD ratio but for some people this may keep you up. Other people prefer high THC products, which more typically can put you to sleep especially if they are derived from an indica strain. I would try microdosing a product over a period of nights, upping your dose until you feel like it puts you into the right slumber. For me, if I take too much THC I am wide awake, or almost on the verge of sleep but never get there!\n\nLeg cramps can be caused by a bunch of different things including Over exercising or injury,pregnancy, extreme temperatures, medically related conditions, dehydration. and from specific medications. Good thing is that cannabis is a known anti spasmodic and can help with that aspect.

The biochemistry is complicated, and no one cannabinoid like THC or CBD can really be thought of as responsible for a certain effect.  THC is usually stimulating by itself, but when accompanied by CBD and other cannabinoids as well as the many terpenoid essential oils found in the plant, the net result can be relaxing or sedating.  This is sometimes referred to as the \"entourage effect.\" \n\ndrelkind\n_____________________\nIt depends  on what you smoke. indica helps you relaxe and causes a body high while saliva is more of an active type of cannabis and causes a head high which makes you more active, more awake\n\nJus.an.alien","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8477-markdown","title":"I am interested in investing in a medical card.
