    I started smoking cannabis since my teenage. Got addicted to cigarettes for over 18 years. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany.

      100% agree I used to have Psychosis and paranoid thoughts like "people thinking about me talking about me etc. Very odd behavior after getting off Adderall from 7-16. Antidepressants at 18-29. 31 now. I took way to much, but took about 20g of Gold caps (Psilocybin containing mushroom) I analyzed my entire life. The emotions that came out helped me understand behavior etc more. Wont ever need to do it again because I'm happy and contempt forever, but I wish more people did this to alter their perception of reality. Would help with healing much trauma

      From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later,

    Medicinal cannabis has been revolutionary to my sleep. As a shift worker of 20 years my sleep is generally awful. I use a very small amount about once every 10 to 14 days, I get 10 to 12 hours sleep that night and the effect on more restful sleep lasts about a week. I can see it in my smart watch sleep scores as well as subjectively feel the difference. For me it somehow breaks the circuit of waking up in the middle of the night and being unable to get back to sleep.
    It is also waaaaaaayyyyyy less expensive than the combined psychology/acupuncture/massage combo that helped but less reliably. I really hope that we can start moving more quickly on legalisation.

    I quit weed a month ago and my sleep has been slowly getting better and better. The first 3 weeks I have had the craziest dreams, so vivid and memorable. I almost never dreamed when getting high. Currently on day 23 of being sober and my body is slowly normalizing itself. I'm grateful for my experiences with weed but my chronic daily use was harming me in ways I hadn't noticed. Irritability, zombie like days, and a lack of effective motivation to get things done. I'm giving myself a year to be sober, and maybe I'll go back to it but in edible form and only on off days like weekends or celebrations. Hope peace for you all ✌️

    Wake up early, everyday even if you haven't had enough sleep, take a nap later after midday, but wake up early like 30min before the sunrise, try to inhale that fresh air just before the sunrise and get exposed to the light of the rising sun.

    I have hyper-vigilance stemming from service related PTSD which in turn causes me to experience anxiety, and most nights I can't sleep all the way through. Since I retired I have been using a full spectrum tincture and coupled with my CPAP, I get the best sleep I have had since I was a kid. Anecdotal for sure, but until and unless the federal government legalized or reschedules cannabis, the scientific studies cannot be done, so anecdotal evidence is all we have, at least in the states.

    I can tell you from personal experience that for me, taking high doses of mmj edibles is the difference between getting 5 hours collectively of sleep in a 24 hour period, versus 3 hours. It makes a huge difference not only in the quantity of sleep, but the quality as well.

    Yes, it def helps you fall asleep, but it also makes you stop dreaming, fyi. It suppresses REM entirely and dreaming is sorta important. I just recently quit smoking after 25 years off all day everyday wake and bake and essentially stopped dreaming for all those years while using it regularly. A year out from quitting and now I dream all the time again. This is one of the truths ppl don't talk about much. Well, the scientists do, but all the romancing of the plant, it's not ALL good. Also, I've spent my whole life dealing with serious issues of anxiety, and for many years the weed helped those episodes, but then at some point it exasperated them, and now that I've stopped the anxiety is virtually non existent. So there is a lot of grey area with cannabios and it can and does change for ppl over time. Just sharing my experience.

    Having smoked on average about 1 gram a day of cannabis for decades this is easy to answer. It definitely helps you sleep well, although it does prevent dreaming properly. I gave up about 6 weeks ago and now can't get a full night's sleep and have trouble getting to sleep but I do remember dreams I have quite clearly. I now wake up with a much clearer head but can feel a bit sleepy in the daytime.
    The best study and quantity to try in my opinion would be to take about a third to half a gram in the evening, that should give a good night's sleep without the 'hangover '. I am writing this at 2.30 in the morning as I can't get to sleep!

And its seems like it definitely reduces REM sleep so the overall quality of sleep is much poorer. I quit recently and this fits with my subjective experience; crazy dreams due to increased REM but I feel better most mornings!

    I have medication-induced insomnia. Pot definitely helps me sleep, at least for a few hours. It really helps with racing thoughts and anxiety at night, too, so my mind can rest. But it only lasts as long as I'm high, which is like 2-3 hours. So it's not a permnent insomnia cure. I take a prescribed medication for that. Pot is a suppliment, it doesn't do it on its own, but if you have mild or episodic insomnia due to anxiety/worry, yes, it probably will help you. Make sure you get indica, NOT sativa. Sativa is energetic and can cause anxiety and paranoia if you're prone to anxiety. Indica is relaxing.

      Glad to hear it’s having that positive effect for you. I’m not a scientist but a couple things I have learned: there is 0 tangible difference between “indica” and “sativa.” The two different species of cannabis have been interbred and hybridized for so many decades that a biological distinction no longer exists. What’s more impactful on the “elevating” vs “mellowing” effect is the concentration of THCA vs other cannabanoids such as CBD.
      Also, I too have experienced how cannabis can work as a powerful sleep aid. But something I realized is that when I smoke before I sleep I have ABSOLUTELY ZERO DREAMS. Which is actually a serious problem because that means you’re not going into REM sleep. And REM sleep is super important for memory consolidation and emotional processing.
      So while cannabis might be super helpful for FALLING asleep, it’s actually kind of a hindrance to your QUALITY of sleep.
      The benefits might certainly put weight the drawbacks in your case and I’m not trying to tell you you’re doing ANYTHING “wrong.” But I do wish more people knew about the different ways cannabis affects sleep. E.g. I wish she talked about it more in this video.

    I don't need data to know that CBD works for me. The first time i took it, I felt a wave of relaxation move down through my body. It puts me quickly to sleep, and I get a deeper, more restful sleep than I have ever experienced. That said, it can build up in the system, and over time, the effects will stop. So, I take a break for a few days, and when the CBD decreases to the right level, the effects kick in again (and without taking any). It's a remarkable substance.

    So I'm still looking into all this, but my experience is with edibles and over about a years use. I started seeing studies saying that it thc effects rem sleeps. The reason this interested me is I was struggling more getting up in the morning and didn't feel rested. Which created negative feelings throughout the day. I'm currently in the process of withdrawing to test this, but last night I didn't use and woke up more awake and overall feeling more awake and alive. This is anecdotal, but maybe it'll help someone.

Trust me, I really tried living like a spiritual life, and I could be up till 5am with insomnia. I got back into edibles because my asthma flared up and edibles have always been good for my lungs. The insomnia didn't go immediately, but it is so more preferable to be awake with insomnia and stoned rather than just awake with insomnia. Also, for millions of years our ancestors were nocturnal to avoid dinosaurs, so maybe insomnia is just natural.

    Aside from the fact that everyone experiences the effects of cannabis differently, I think there needs to be more research done into the paradoxical effects that seem to arise in long-term users before any definitive judgement can be made. An enormous amount of anecdotal data points to the potential for cannabis to swap its effects (i.e. causing anxiety instead of treating anxiety, or causing insomnia rather than helping insomnia) at some point in a regular user's lifetime. Many of these paradoxical effects seem to emerge most prominently among 20-somethings who previously used cannabis during their teen years, hence suggesting that perhaps its interference with brain development causes some kind of developmental disorder which leads to the paradoxical effects, although there have been a few cases where even people who are older experience the paradoxical effects. But it's not enough to look at new or infrequent users and say that their experience is universal and overall positive, particularly when certain conditions like Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) tend to emerge in chronic long-term users.

It was effective but as I expected, I developed a tolerance and it became less effective, so I often will stop using it for a while. Currently, I'm using CBD as a sleep aid. It seems to be effective. The store where I purchase my CBD gave me a sample of Delta 9 to try as a sleep aid. It was relaxing but It didn't make me sleepy, I occasionally use a hybrid edible on the weekend or if I need to get out of rut when writing music.
