As a regular cannabis consumer I have found that when I quit for a while I go into a mental overdrive at night which makes it tough to fall sleep. My dreams also become extremely vivid and just plain weird. This lasts a couple of weeks.
i'm guessing, but i think the 20-30% THC is the proportion to the total dry mass (ripe buds, hash), the 85% or 98% THC is the ratio to total amount THC+CBD (100%), with corresponding 15% and 2% CBD, respectively

Super helpful video! When you're using weed for sleep it's important to choose the right strain. Indica strains are often associated with relaxation and sedation, making them a common choice for sleep. Remember, everyone's response to weed is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. It's important to listen to your body, start with low doses, and make adjustments as needed to find the right approach for your sleep needs. Thanks for sharing this great information with us, Dr. Michael! 🙌❤👍
Thank you, very helpful information! I had tried many supplements w/ limited success, used a prescription in the past. Found a gummie product with low THC, CBN, CBD, L-theanine, & 1 mg of melatonin. That combo worked well for me. Use it occasionally, your sleep tips & chronotype info helped as well.
2 BAD KNEES had 2 bad hips one been replaced and 2 bad shoulders no matter how much pain I SLEEP I dont have a choice10 mg melatonin 15 ml thc go to bed or sleep in the living room.
I have CPTSD. I can tell you that CBN makes my nightmares MANY times worse. CBD does nothing at all for me. THC reduces my nightmares quite a bit but as soon as I have 1 , I can’t get back to sleep most of the time. I take oral dose right as I get into bed , so that usually, I’m asleep BEFORE I get the intoxication.
Cotton mouth makes me thirsty then just as I'm about to fall asleep, damn got to go to bathroom, its been my habit for about ten years, I have been smoking weed since 1976 but I do it at night now that I am old and it helps a lot!! I am very experienced with weed and there is a sweet spot with weed, I smoke a bowl. Or decarb my weed and put it in a capsule to take two hours before bed. Anyway your video was correct, and I am surprised!!!😊🎄
Hi! Thanks for watching. HHC (Hexahydrocannabinol) is a semi-synthetic cannabinoid derived from THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis. It is created through a hydrogenation process that alters the chemical structure of THC, making HHC a unique cannabinoid with distinct properties. HHC is known for providing effects similar to THC, such as euphoria, relaxation, and pain relief, but with potentially different potency and duration. Because it is a relatively new and less studied cannabinoid, its legal status and effects may vary, and it's not as commonly available as traditional THC or CBD products. If you're considering using HHC, it's best to research thoroughly and consult with a healthcare professional, especially regarding its safety, legality, and potential interactions. Hope this helps! Thank you for your question
Yes and yes. There is a LOT we don't have about vaping, so to be safe eating edibles can be better option. But also, with some of my patients vaping can get them 'too high' too quickly, which can make falling asleep harder. Edibles kick in slower, allowing someone to adjust to its effects and thus feel more relaxed when they go to bed
Terpenes are the cannabis industries last stand for marketing. I’ve smoked a small field and it’s legal here so I get full profiles on strain and terpenes. I’ve run the experiment many times and find other variables affect my perception. Most notably the wake and bake. Lots of energy and creativity with any terpene profile when you wake and bake. If you smoke all day no creative energizing terpenes will keep you from dragging ass by mid afternoon. It’s an Easy experiment to run yourselves with the help of a friend. Get them to roll them for you and not tell you what it is. Frequency, THC strength, wake and bake, how you feel before you smoke, these all contribute. The stoned mind seems very suggestive.
Is there any certificate organic cannabis available? Would like to try this but without the synthetic chemicals added to the growing or processing of the plant
It’s called weed for a reason. If you’ve ever grown it, you’d know it doesn’t attract many insects, and it starts to smell like skunk as it ripens that keeps insects away. I doubt growers need to use any pesticides on them, but I’m not a commercial grower.
Dear Sleep doctor! I have had chronic insomnia for many years! No medication is working for me! Do you have any options! I am not in stress, pain or anxiety, but I cannot sleep at all! Please let me know if you can help! Kim
Hi Kim, I cant give out medical advice over the internet, but you may want to see a sleep specialist. Check out www.sleepcenters.org and put in your zip code. It will tell you where teh accredited centers are in your area and they all should have an insomnia specialist.

Thats a withdrawal symptoms. Unfortunately, its a double edged sword. There are pros and cons to every thing.
100% correct!
Hey Doc, your comment about strains having THC being 85% isn't correct. Most strains are usually less than 20% with some claiming to be up to 30%
On the labels they say 98%? So how do you tell the difference?
i'm guessing, but i think the 20-30% THC is the proportion to the total dry mass (ripe buds, hash), the 85% or 98% THC is the ratio to total amount THC+CBD (100%), with corresponding 15% and 2% CBD, respectively
@@davidbonar5190correct afaik
@@TheSleepDoctorThere are some products that concentrate the thc from the plant, which is how you end up with really high percentages.

nice
Which one?
Thank you for this very informative video. When you say little THC and more CBN and CBD can you give a ratio. Thank you.
I use a CBN/CBD gummy at bedtime. No THC, no smoking. It's OK, but not as good as Xanax.

In our clinic we would refer you to Dream Therapy first, and consider cannabis but very specifically. You need to speak to a specialist.
Is there any product recommendations in this video?
Thank you.

Thanks for the props!!

Are we saying not to vape, just because vaping is bad for our lungs, or is there a specific sleep-related reason to avoid this practice?
Yes and yes. There is a LOT we don't have about vaping, so to be safe eating edibles can be better option. But also, with some of my patients vaping can get them 'too high' too quickly, which can make falling asleep harder. Edibles kick in slower, allowing someone to adjust to its effects and thus feel more relaxed when they go to bed
1:1:1 - CBD:CBN:THC a good combination…
agreed
Just to be clear the doctor does not recommend vaping which in turn means he does not recommend smoking right?
correct
What's a dr?
The chemical make up of THC in sativa and indica is identical.
Yet they feel different
Sativa makes my heart beat faster and my stomach jumpy, so there is some kind of difference.
It has to do with terpenes

This seems to be something that is new to the industry. but YES, there are some that report no pesticide use, etc.

Bro said you can’t get stoned to go to bed that’s the only way my friend
Dry vape?
CBD does nothing for me. I feel like it’s the placebo effect
