In a legal state- I take a three tiered approach to lifelong insomnia. A bowl of indica for immediate effect. Indica tincture, starts working in about 30 minutes. A Night time capsule taken with water won't kick in for about 2 hours but lasts 4+ hours. This adds up money wise but after trying everything, and I mean everything, this has worked for me. I feel great in the morning, no hangover at all! Hope it helps.

At 1930hrs. CDT., I put 4ml tincture and 1/2gr. decarbed flower in 4oz. peach yogurt. Next thing I know, it's 0300hr. and time for a massive urination event, security check, little fruit and ice water and back to bed 'till 0600hr. Get up bright eyed and bushy tailed, no aches and pain, no depression and well rested. Indica dominant strains. This has been a game changer for me.

Could you tell me what the plant name is please ?

What night time capsule do you use?

Hi KPWF, I am in WA state. One brand is Fairwinds the product is Relax indica.
Another brand is Caps,the night time variety. These are both 10 milligrams.

Thank you!

I have studied Cannabis 365 a year for 20 years, smoked for 18 years, I have smoked in Britain, France, Spain, Mexico, USA, next year in Morocco and if things change for the good Libya too. Since I have been given a small field in Rift Valley Northern Morocco and I can grow a few thousand plants there of my choice, they will do all the work and prepare it for domestic use and international trade, plus, my guy recently took 10kg of the highest quality Hashish with some the rarest land races on Earth and he turned that SOB in to 4kg of Rosin Shatter, was a lovely sight, he teases people, he does not sell online his too professional, but he will make videos showing beating the drums for hash, live roll for sticky black Moroccan Hash (almost as good as Nepali Temple or Indian Manala Cream), he will just take a fit full of pure Cannabinoid crystals he has beat with the drum and just set fire to it all so his friends and followers can see hash does not burn hard, it turns instantly to oil when it is produced correctly.

I have Cannabis Syrup, cheap enough bottle 3 times bigger than Sativex 10 times cheaper than it at only 40€ it is for all people who use recreationally very potent, like when you take Valium or Baclofen the first ever tablets just puts you to sleep. But for me, the first taste was a bit bitter, but one night Zoplicone, Valium, Baclofen, Oxycontin, OxyNorm (Oxycodone) Concentrate, Heat Pads the usual I try for insomnia and chronic back pain, got me no sleep, I then took some syrup still no sleep, took a quarter of the bottle in one go and woke up 4 hours later as if I had only closed my eyes for a second. I am sadly, one those folks who still need to use conventional big pharma drugs and Cannabis combined and any of them on their own fails or does not help enough or my drug dose keeps going up. The thing I honestly found works best on sleep, is Cannabis Blueberry Muffins in Amsterdam, those sons of a bitch got half a damn gram in each muffin, one of them and you be waking up the next day or if you take it in the morning because you had no keep all night, you will wake up look out the window thinking you had no sleep because your be sleeping all day.

In Spain capsules are expensive but bucket load stronger than 10mg, here 1 X 150mg Capsule is 5€ or 1 X 300mg Capsule 10€, they tend to have much cheaper Cannabis now than America but here by law you cannot make a profit only break even and if you profit from Cannabis sales it must be declared and put back in the business for our Private Members Clubs. Only thing we do not have here I want to try is Cannabis Patches for Fibromyalgia which, it was designed for and for quitting smoking since patches are high dose, slow release over 24-72hours.

KPWF I also get my stuff in WA, a newer product out by GreenRevolution is "Turn on SLEEP", a high CBN spray tincture which works really well to keep you asleep. I personally make strong brownies and take Indica tinctures to also help. Now getting 8+ up to 9.5 hours of close your eyes and wake up refreshed sleep.

My challenge isn't falling asleep but staying asleep...four hours after I hit the bed I'm awake and unable to fall back asleep for 2-3 hours. Any strain better for longer sleep/through the night sleep? Without having me zombie-like in the morning?

Two 4 hour phases with a 2 hour period of activity in between is actually the body's natural way to sleep. It's been documented that this is how most humans used to sleep. The single 8 hour sleeping phase seems to have evolved out of the busy schedules of urban living. Maybe embracing this natural cycle might help? Unless, of course, it isn't practical for you. Our ancestors seem to have used this period of activity for socializing, eating or sex. Or you know, checking the fire and patroling the perimeter, if you go back far enough. They've also done studies where they keep people for days in a space with no clocks and constant lighting conditions and found that human naturally develop a multi phasic sleep schedule when they have no way of telling time.

Indica, Purple Kush

on my list with Kosher Kush and Tahoe Kush

I can testify to the Kosher Kush! Best for sleep for me so far.

David Wills' info is excellent! Edibles are what you want KPWF. You can time your consumption so that four hours into your night you are medicated. I hope you have access to legal marijuana. New products are coming out all the time, so if one thing doesn't work for you another might do the trick. If you are not comfortable with marijuana I urge you to do your own research. You can choose low THC strains if you do not like the feeling of being high.

Hate a strong high, then choose a Indica dominant with high CBD in it or buy Hashish which, will give you a mellow high, but not make you intoxicated and it will make you hungry as heck, nothing in Cannabis World I came across honestly works better for both appetite and sleep at the same time as a good Moroccan Hash or a Lebanese Hash. I too suggest edibles but try buy Muffins, they contain higher THC content but because it is absorbed through the bowels and stomach lining, it is slower to start working but when it does, you do not get high you get shut eye, Best I ever had came from Abraxas in Amsterdam (they are a useless cheating dealers though, they take seed orders and do not send out seeds), but it was a 500mg Marijuana Muffin (not Hash Cake), nothing has came close, will try Capsules 2 X 300mg for night sleep soon since Syrup did not work well and Dabs well since my health problems so bad, I still do not get high of them, local Social Club watched me dab half a gram then smoke a joint and he brought me a 1gram Dab of Sour Diesel Shatter after and recorded it and I did it and just felt relaxed, not a cough or a closed eye. They was surprised it is why their doctor who works with them has said, once RSO is in, I should go straight on a gram daily without the usual 100mg twice daily then being built up to a gram over time. I honestly now understand why Michael Jackson was so stressed and so desperate for some sleep and pain relief he took the most extreme measures, why he came of MMJ (yes he used) was beyond me, maybe because of This is It, i was interfering with his performance, but it was a fatal decision and even in my worse times, when Pain has induced PTSD with me, I have felt to slit my wrists or take a month of Oxycontin and die in 1. But I never would or do because o f Cannabis, my pets and the notion in my head if I kill myself those in genuine need of hard drugs will not get access to them and that is cruel.

I do have MMJ and just haven't found the right dose. I don't like feeling high but I DO want to sleep!

Do you need a prescription from Dr for the cannabis so it won't affect your job

I do

I used gel caps from the local health food store to split the capsules until I built up a tolerance. I also switch brands which helps me with tolerance issues. I thought the capsules were pricey at 25 to 33 dollars for 10 capsules but they worked! I am sure you had nights that you would have paid anything to sleep, I know I did and now for the price of an artisan coffee I finally can.

I make chocolate coconut oil edible candies, usually around 60% Indica and 40% Hybrids. Each 1 tablespoon chocolate is around 120mg or so. I eat 1/4 3 hours before bedtime and I'm out all night.

Could you post a recipe David?

Thank you! I think my dosage was just too low. I don't like to feel stoned and generally look for high CBN and low THC. But I'll try this. Thanks!

Smoke 2 hours sleep verse Edible 8 hours sleep

I use the kanji brand gummies and they work great for me. I have tried several brands and for me this brand does it. The strains work different in all persons so you may want to try them till you find one that helps you. I have found that gummies work best for all night!

As it says in the article, Granddaddy Purple and Northern Lights will do that. You might also add some melatonin and some valerian root.

PAX Oils Granddaddy Purple or OG Kush will let you sleep all night. One hit when you wake up in the middle of the night should do the trick.

I used GOD BUD to sleep and CANALOPE HAZE to wake up :) (Chuck Nicefield sur YouTube en francais.)

Does It give paranoia to the users ?

Gorilla Glue,GDP and a few other Big Bud crosses seem to work well for me

Thank God for Indica

No more antihistamines [non prescription sleeping pills] giving me high blood pressure and constipation too.

The problem I have, is that these all worked for me 6 months ago. However, do to my use/overuse of concentrates, I am now totally immune to the effects of THC. After vaping 89% THC "Gods Gift" I feel a little euphoria for 10 minutes, but I now NEED Ambien again to sleep. Just a word of caution, on the overuse of concentrates.

lay off the concentrates for a month, you need a tolerance break. Then go back to flower. Its just too easy to over do it with concetrate for some people. I've been taking 5 hits in my vape ( flower only ) before bed for 3 years now. I sleep soundly all night. I have an occasional night were I wake up and have trouble falling back so sleep. If I don't go back to sleep withing about 30 minutes, I get up and vape 3-4 hits, and go back to bed and sleep the rest of the night. No morning hangover from most strains. I use to have terrible insomnia.

I too still need Ambien to sleep, but I have some very serious medical conditions. As long as I don't smoke it my doctor is 100% behind me using THC as often as I like. I however use edibles and it is not easy finding the right one that doesn't cause anxiety which then compounds the insomnia. I use a extract of a indica, 9lb hammer is great or Master Haze. I make fudge, using the fantasy fudge original recipe. I melt the butter add the extract making sure to mix them well, then follow the recipe for the rest. I can get more than 30 doses on one batch and the extract runs around 30 to 35 dollars a syringe.

I have travel insomnia in hotels. Any suggestions?

Valerian root and melatonin, both available at drugstores, online or Walmart.

need some help?try the bestmarijuanaproducts.net :)

PET, HAVE YOU BOUGHT FROM THEM SO I WILL KNOW IF ITS A SCAM
THANKS

C'mon man, you can't honestly be gullible enough to believe any of these people posting these website?

Is there a strain that helps my insomnia but WONT make me hungry?

that is what I am looking for. I am hoping a hybrid of both sativa and indica will balance and not give me the munchies. Do not want the munchies.

Thank you for this article. The biggest issue is that most of these are NOT available at the dispensaries in CT and so what they do have is not that great.

Sorry to hear that! I'm not sure that this guide is completely up-to-date, but it breaks down the CT strain names into their original genetic monikers: https://www.leafly.com/news.... The Valedica (Bubba Kush x Purple Kush) from Theraplant might be a good one for sleep, as well as Advanced Labs' Indicol L (Granddaddy Purple) or CPS's Kylix. Look for strains high in the terpenes linalool and myrcene, too -- that might help! Good luck!

Thanks.

Does anyone have a recipe for cannabis cookies with amounts? I need for insomnia.

Also check out the Night Nurse!

I would love to buy one of these strains but they don't have them in San Diego!! I WISH!!!!!

We need to get cannabis de-scheduled and allowed for interstate sales. I cannot get some of these great sounding strains here in FL.

Trulieve man
