smooth23	NO NO NO!!! It will make it worst then better been there and tried it and it makes you even worst what I can suggust is talk to your dr and he will give you something talk to someone but doing pot will only make it worst then better.And it cost more money and you might like the feeling also but wont be good for the insomnia it will make it worst hun. You never know where the stuff came from how they grew it and whats in it and if you actually think about it its scarey.

The Invisible Man	Well...the History Channel just stated that it is, on a program on marijuana that just ended. The series is called "Hooked: Illegal Drugs and How They Got That Way." The series consists of one hour documentaries about each of several illegal drugs. (As this is written, one is on about Opium.) Your problem could be related to food additives. I spent some twenty plus years after they started filling our food with Soy derivatives trying to figure out why I could no longer fall asleep. On nights I had real bad problems sleeping, I would go through the labels of all the foods I'd eaten for supper. Invariably Soy bean in one form or another was in the food (Soy protein, Soy lecithan, etc.). I eventually identified the following substances that caused me problems: sodium phosphates (before they replaced sodium nitrates in processed meats, sodium phosphates were mostly used as solvents and paint strippers and thinners---imagine the effects of that on your nerves!), MSG (monosodium glutamate), and Calcium disodium EDTA. Try avoiding these ingredients. In fact, for supper, eat at home and prepare as all natural foods as possible. Don't eat supper late. (Also, similar chemicals are in shampoos and soaps and transdermally can affect you. Too, flouride in toothpaste and municipal water makes me hyper. I live in the country and don't have to use city treated-water anymore. To avoid flouride, I brush my teeth at night using just a bit of baking soda.) Also, avoid vitamin infused foods and drinks at night (vitamin C really gets you wired! and commercially available fruit juices often have so much that one small glass full has 100% of the vitamin that you need for an entire day---NOT what you need at bedtime). You can also try the following: nonaddictive (occasional) valerian Root extract (I make a cup of Chamomile tea, good for insomnia, and put about three drops of the extract into it, use "lots" of sugar or honey therein, they're soporific). You can occasionally take a single 3 mg Melatonin tablet. (I don't take but like one a week, just to "reset" my biological clock.) E-mail me, I can give you many other things to watch out for.

Rim	Go to the Doctor. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

open_i_books	It'll cause insomnia if you don't have a prescription for it. Why not try something LEGAL? Valerian tea, warm milk (sounds old fashioned but it's actually a sedative), or white noise which comes on a CD or tape and drowns out all other sounds. Sex, meditate, or read a thick, small print, boring book, not thinking about problems or concerns. Works every time. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lauren b	there are few things it is not good for...use it liberally Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mrs J	Yes most definitely. Occasionaly i'll smoke during the day but mainly I smoke a little bit before i go to sleep. Seriously, i don't sleep good im always wakin up goin back to sleep yah know not good sleep. Sometimes i can't even get sleep. But when i smoke I get relaxed and feel comfortable to sleep. Whenever i smoke i always get a good night's rest and wake up feeling refreshed. If you are planing on smokin to get a good rest u might want to get Hydro because sometimes regular weed will still make u feel lazy in the morning. Oh and drop that Ambien. MJ is NOT addictive Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Fancygal	Pot is not addictive nor does it cause people to seek out other drugs. This is a lie that has been propagated by the FDA, the Textile Industry, Oil industry, Alcohol and Tobbaco. I smoked for nearly 25 yrs, I smoked it when I could afford it and when I couldn't I didn't. I usually used it for menstral cramping and pms. It works wonders! Queen Elizebeth used it for the same reasons back in the late 1800's. The only reason people seek other drugs is because they are fools. Plain and simple! It has different effects on different people. Some get tired , some become more energetic, some just get happy as hell! What it does not do unlike alcohol, is make people mean! Uphoric is more the right term for it. But because we have politicians that are afraid of these other companies and don't want to lose their "donations". It will remain illegal. But until it is legalized, taxed and distributed like alcohol and Tobbaco, the drug deallers will continue to get rich off of it. Did not prohabition of alcohol teach any of us anything! Tax it ,regulate it and make the world a nicer place to live! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

vinyl_mad	yeah it'll make you sleep, but you have a medical condition so, I wouldn't be messing with something like mull. If your in the wrong frame of mind you can flip out (been there done that) and because you're already sleep deprived you're not going to be in the best head space. Also mull varies in strength depending if hydro or earth...I personally don't find it addictive as such, but, have had a few friends who have been addicted to it and had to kick it... Have you tried ValerineForte? A herbal sleeping Tablet. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Parvo E Bola	Pot makes me really horny. Try warm milk and a sandwich Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tomiyo	makes my heart rate rise. but different for everyone. try some muscle relaxers and a glass of wine, at least that's legal Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

keedz	Yes, because it induces sleep, but dn't use it bec. it's addictive, and it is never prescribe by a doctor. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

LovinMyBabyBoys	I'm not trying to be a smart@**, but I'd say no. You prolly would have a lot more trouble sleeping trying to watch your back in jail... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lewis Y	Physiologically, Cannabis INTERFERES with sleep function, and has other problems. The many body of research on Cannabis is from Australia and New Zealand. Europe is recriminalizing it because Cannabis is quite unsafe for a significant portion of the population. Psychologically, people can trick themselves into anything. Ambien isn't great either, keep your receipts, there's a huge lawsuit filed. Since they outlawed L-Tryptophan, the best sleeping aid I have found is Melatonin. Very effective, over the counter, reasonably priced. Make sure you get the type with b6 vitamin. No hangovers, no addictions and of ALL the people I know who take it, noone has reported any adverse side effects. L-Tryptophan did have a minor side effect in large quantities, but it was banned as a supplement because of production contamination and counterfeiting. I am really unfamiliar with medicinal Cannabis being prescribed in Cali or anywhere for sleep; rather for pain and to stimulate appetite. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

TERA	Yes it helps with insomnia, but unless you get it by prescription, it is illegal so you've got to be very careful how you get it. No, it's not physically addictive, and you can't overdose, but it is strongly psychologically addictive, and you can become "dependent" on it... And yes it is expensive to buy. Before you become a "pot smoker" try out all the alternatives...Try Valerian Root or Melatonin (non addictive and herbal, works well). Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
