I am in my mid-fifties, and for the past more than three or numerous years, I’ve been struggling with insomnia… Lying awake for most of the night adversely affects my mental, physical and emotional state… I work a really stressful and demanding task that requires long-hours and intense focus… Feeling sleepy is a problem.
I have tried over-the-counter and prescription pharmaceuticals however these medications include serious side effects and unparticular risks.
I also don’t appreciate how they make myself and others assume fuzzy and unfocused. For that reason, I started looking into natural remedies, and after trying a variety of teas and foods and even scented sprays for my pillow, I decided to explore the potential of cannabis. I read that THC-rich strains can help people sleep however the psychoactive effects were a concern. I then researched cannabidiol or CBD, which is a non-intoxicating cannabis compound. I l earned the high-CBD strains frequently contain myrcene, but myrcene is a terpene that is believed to be sedating. For centuries, herbalists have promoted hops as a sleep aid… Hops are high in myrcene levels, then when I tried broad spectrum CBD products, I undoubtedly slept a little bit better. When I finally gave in and purchased a cannabis strain with an equal ratio of CBD and THC, I fell asleep hastily and reMEd asleep for much longer. The entourage effect or interaction between CBD and THC works for me. I choose tinctures because they make it easy to get a precise dosage and don’t require any extra unit for consumption. I simply locale the dose under my tongue, hold it for one hour and then swallow any remaining liquid; Sublingual absorption provides rapid onset of effects.
