Are medicine marijuana products snake oil?

If you’re thin edibles and tinctures can be less potent in their effects.

NOTHING

CBD makes me SLEEPY - it WORKS for ME.

R1 Why?

It's the opposite of Fat Whores Rejoice!

Your product did not contain enough placebonols.

Are you calling your friend a liar?

Not everyone responds the same way.

CBD usually makes me feel sleepy

These gummies work really well for me.

I’ve tried other brands, but Wyld works the best for me.

It doesn’t work the same way for everyone. Weed makes most people sleepy, but it keeps me awake at night.

The times I've tried gummies for sleep the effects were either nothing or gave me intense heart palipitations that freaked me out so much I couldn't sleep.

The CBD gummies that you can buy on-line are wildly different in their effects and I think it's the unregulated amount of CBD in each batch.

I've had some that did near to nothing and some that wrecked me for two days.

Nothing I've ever taken -CBD or cannabis - has ever helped with either sleep or pain, despite the claims. I think it's much more dependent on the particular person than they say.

I’ve smoked joints and have eaten gummies from dispensaries that have worked marvelously for sleep.

Like almost any drug out there, both eventually stopped working for me. But while these two things worked? They worked very well.

I take Exedrin or Advil PM's with Melatonin. I sleep like a baby.

Some people don't get any benefits from ingesting THC, it's something to do with the enzymes in their stomach. My partner feels nothing from gummies, I thought he was full of shit till a budtender explained it to me.

Are you off tv and the Internet at least 2 hours before you take those gummies?

They work best if not taken on a full stomach. And they can take 45-60 mins plus to kick in. And if your self Dx is accurate in your OP you have more problems than a simple gummy will take care of by themselves.

I experience high tension and anxiety with THC. CBD makes me a bit sleepy

There are two strains Sativa and Indica. Indica produces a more sleepy effect, Sativa can energize you. Make sure if you are trying to sleep you get Indica. I use 5 mg and it works for me. Helps to calm the random thoughts that keep me up at night. I find if I start a narrative of a fantasy in my head I dose off and dream well, rather than popping form thought to thought like I usually do.

OP: In a word, yes. The research evidence suggests not much anything.

I’m slim and I sleep well on a 1:1 THC/CBD tincture (about 1mg/1mg per drop), about 4-5 drops. Only on nights when I seem to need it.

I’ll feel a bit stoned and underproductive the next morning though, so it’s a no if I’ll need to actually show up for work (i.e. lead a Zoom meeting)

r20 SLIM?? SLIM??

The best way I have found to wake up not feeling different, not feeling stoned, is to keep my volcano on throughout the day and make sure it gets used properly and often

I take 2 over-the-counter gummies and then a small puff of Indica (vape). That does the trick for me.

The gummies aren't CBD - they are melatonin, L-Theanine and botanicals (Chamomille, Passion Flower and Lemon Balm).

Indica can put me straight out - BUT not a huge hit.

It’s the New York in you.

Smoking the hemp cigs got rid of muscle pain from moving for me, OP.

I couldn’t believe it, but I was desperate, and the Tylenol/hot shower/muscle rub wasn’t cutting it. So the next day, before bed, I desperately smoked one of the hemp cigs I had.

It worked like a miracle! The pain abated enough for me to sleep, then the next day, I felt fine. No pain at all.

In a word, studies show they help some people, make sure it's not something from Florida from a beach front store fake crap, I hope they never go recreational here, then the watered down and fake products will appear. Go to a reliable dispensary.

Cannabis is holy sacrament! Universal cure! Will turn lead into gold!

They have broken the cannabis products into its parts. One can buy the part that works for you to get the effect you desire. You need to discover the part and the dose that works for you

It depends on the brand. I recommend WYLD, Camino, Lost Farms Resin gummies, Ogeez RSO gummies.

The ratio of CBD:THC is not as important as the total milligrams of THC in the dose. If the dose you’re using isn’t working, try a higher dose. As someone else said, it can take an hour - sometimes even longer - to feel the effects, so plan accordingly.

Works for me.

Try a different dispensary. There are also carbonated drinks with like 3.5 mgs TCH and 10 mgs CBD that give me a more pleasant buzz than gummies. Doesn't necessarily help me sleep but mellows me out while unwinding before bed.

Regarding OP's insomnia and related psychiatric issues:

If I had a hammer...

[QUOTE]I take Exedrin or Advil PM's with Melatonin. I sleep like a baby

Excedrin contains caffeine!

I am on prescription cannabinoid pills that were prescribed to me by my psychiatrist. They have been instrumental in my recovery from ptsd. It's the only thing that stops my chronic nightmares and it's also improved my fibromyalgia symptoms

It sounds to me that your real problem is your anxiety. You take all these Cannabis things but you're probably hyper alert waiting to see if they kick in or not, and because of this you can't fall asleep. If you've been taking Klonopin to deal with your anxiety, your body is used to a very powerful and habit forming drug, and none of the cannabis products will come close to that. My suggestion from similar personal experience is for you to see a good psychiatrist that can help you end your Klonopin dependency and put you on a combination of different drugs (such as Mirtazepine + Trazodone, etc.) that can take the anxiety away so you can then use Cannabis to better effect. Cannabis is never going to work like Klonopin or Xanax but it will help you stay asleep.

Meditate

When I was a teenager my doctor had me taking valium by the handful and it had absolutely no effect (physically or psychologically) whatsoever on me. I don't remember why I was prescribed it.

R34

R22, what is the volcano you speak of?

Klonopin is no joke.

Just take 40mg and fall asleep.

OP if pot in your 20's made you paranoid the SUPERPOT of today will make you MENTAL. Avoid!

Enough with the Klonopin and marijuana. You're just mixing drugs and trying to find a magic bullet.

I would see a therapist for the anxiety and insomnia.

Meditation: I hated it, at first. Now, there are so many guided meditations on YouTube that you can find something you like.

Try exercise, henny.

OP did you ever abuse opium or narcotics? Also how are your kidneys?

Sister Mary Indica is my friend

Try the Delta 9 with the exercise.

Trazodone is probably a good idea for you as mentioned.

If that doesn’t work then ask your doctor for Imovane / Rhovane. That shit will knock you out in 10 minutes. Make sure you are within reach of a bed or couch after taking it.

R39 do a search for volcano classic vape and you will see a picture of what mine looks like. Not the newer much more expensive model.

Nothing but pure vapor and the mj goes so much farther.

On sale about $350 and they last forever

If you are getting gummies, be sure to ask if it is pure THC. Some makers of cheap gummies are putting in shitty canniboids and then Delta 8 or Delta 9 (synthetic pot).

Thanks R49!

R48, I take Trazadone, Ambien, and gummies… and still have trouble staying asleep some nights.

Ambien is brain poison associated with sleep walking and even early Dementia.

I'd be very wary of any prescription pills for sleeping - that sounds scary.

FUCK YOU R54
