this info was so good and concise thank you so much.
I spent maybe an hour looking on google trying to parse some studies and like you said they seemed contradictory.
Glad it helped! Thanks for supporting my work Dr. B
Learned a lot in a very short time from this, great video 👍
I've been using marijuana (vape) for over three years to sleep and I love it. I don't wake up stoned or groggy since I typically sleep 9 hours or so. I found it much better than using alcohol to sleep. Alcohol would have me peeing every 2 or 3 hours in the middle of the night.
I've always had trouble sleeping and even tried different techniques. Until I started taking gummies I would feel rested and never woke up stoned considering I would take it around 8 and sleep by 11 or 12. Mind you I'm used to sleeping at 2 am + lol
My man smoking or drinking yourself to sleep is not the way
@@LuLzezRoflcopter Very true. Moderation is the key. One or two hits of the pen or two beers typically.
So here is the thing. I used weed to help me sleep daily as well. Usually sleep for 9 to 10 hours and I sleep like a baby. I stopped weed for 1 month due to travel and realized my body only need like 6 to 7 hours but I think weed disrupt sleep so I need to sleep longer to make up for it. I stopped completely and never looked back. I sleep fine now and realized I wasn't getting enough excerise so I was suffering
But do u dream? Weed cuts off rem sleep.
Thanks for this presentation. Very educational.
I use a tincture every night and it helps me sleep so well. Low-dose THC/High CBD or CBD is the key.
After a long period of smoking, cannabis seriously disrupts my sleep now to the point where I’ve had to give it up. Was waking up more tired than before I went to sleep and my eyes looked like I hadn’t slept for months.
Same! Glad/reassured to see other people saying they have experienced the same thing as me.
We welcome the first indications from the world-first study that medicinal cannabis can benefit people with insomnia. For me, I would go outdoors and exercise during the day and eat healthy Mediterranean diet rich in omega 3 fats and whole foods. Thanks for the informative and the very helpful video Dr. Michael!👋👍
Thanks for the support of my work! Dr. B
I use the THC/CBN extract in 10mg gummy dose. I do not smoke anything. Just use one gummy at bedtime. Too much will cause a bad effect for me. So, I use a small amount at bedtime.
The CBN helps.
This HEAVILY depends on the person. I've ALWAYS had massive sleep problems, I've used pretty much every OTC and natural remedy one can find, to very limited success. Over the last couple years I've been using cannabis to help and it has changed things significantly. The biggest thing is not overdoing it, or the morning fog is very evident, but even then, after it goes away I am much more rested than if I hadn't. D8/HHC + CBN + CBN is much better for actual sleep than D9, to me. There are a lot more cannabinoids in the flower than just THC.
I agree, there are individual differences.
Could one of the reasons be why I wake up in the middle of the night a bit sweaty and have a heavy anxiety feeling is that from low blood sugar I ask this because if I eat a few berries and a little raw honey it helps me fall back asleep and feel calm along with a little thc from vape
I’ve had type 1 diabetes since 2009 and yes symptoms and treatment you’re describing sounds exactly like nighttime hypoglycemia.
100% possible
I use a tincture with Indica. It comes on in 15 minutes and helps me sleep with just a little grogginess.
For many people if you have grogginess in the am, you can lower the dose.
Is it possible to look at the difference in smoking Hasheesh compared to ‘bud’ normal Marijuana? Is there a difference generally or is the effect much the same?
That would seem like a TCH difference?
i eat a little bud each night at 6pm (about the size of my little pinky nail ) I get the physical calming effects without too much of a head buzz. And I don't wake up groggy. However, if you eat to much it really sends you to cloud 9. Got to start small first
Normally the THC is not activated unless it is heated.
@@davidanderson8469 you're right! it barely gets you stoned but it does give just enough to relax you without getting you high. I've cooked the same amount in butter before and it's way stronger than if you smoke it.
Intoxication really? 😒
i have insomnia my whole family does and i tried thc-cbd and it helps me sleep but now when i try to sleep without it i feel like my insomnia is worse
That's a dependency. It's similar to things like caffeine, sugar, etc. That will pass. Some people get over it faster than others.
But he has had insomnia in the first place so he kind of needed the dependency no?@@underwaves75
I never got any effect from CBD.
Try to use it 4-3 hours then when its wearing off you'll feel okay to sleep
Or just try to thug it out if you can, you'll be able to sleep again
Yep, it makes insomnia much worse. Once you use it for sleep you really have to continue. Use it or go to hell to get back on a normal sleep schedule.
A doctor who knows there are hundreds of exogenous cannabinoids in weed and it’s more than just a thc! Impressively hard to find!
Long term study is there in all old cultures…. You don’t accept it’s your problem.
100% definitely. It ruined my sleep! I never got a decent night's sleep, next to no deep/REM sleep and always woke up feeling like i hadn't really slept at all. Three weeks clean after smoking every day for thirty years. Slowly starting to feel a little better but still not great, i fear it'll take a really long time to get fully back on track.
You missed taking a dumb as a number 2. Thanks Dr :).
This guy spoke for 5 minutes and basically said nothing. The medical community has been caught 'flat-footed' on this one and is desperately trying to establish control over cannabis. Their problem is they are treating cannabis as a drug when in fact it is a plant with hundreds of variables depending on the strain. Experiment with cannabis and find solutions. Avoid people who are merely trying to exploit serious issues like this one!!!!
If you feel that way, then maybe you should read my articles, they may be more helpful.
