I haven’t smoked or vaped in over a month, and probably won’t ever again tbh. In the past week though I decided to give edibles a try to help me get a full night of sleep. For context, every night since surgery I would wake up after 2-3 hours for no real discernible reason, then stay up fora bit, finally fall back asleep, and wake up again after 2-3 hours. I tried melatonin and it seemed to help me get to sleep but not stay asleep the whole night.
Happy to report that I’ve had 4 consecutive full nights of sleep after taking a 5 or 10mg edible about an hour or two before I’m planning on laying down. Of those 4 times, I have woken up with a mini weed hangover 2 times. It’s certainly a much more manageable than an alcohol hangover. I think this would be classified as a minor withdrawal symptom but it isn’t disruptive and lasts about 15 minutes.
This is right about my wheelhouse. 2.5 for sleep aid. 5 for fun happy times for about 3-4 hours. 10 to get blasted and zone out for hours. 15 or more makes me fdel pretty nauseous about the 2 hour mark so Ive refrained from going above 10 for a while.
Want to do a 50 mg night sometime just to see but will likely wait til my son’s out of the house to do so.
Yeah, mj is a sleep aid is a lifesaver. Ive had the dame experience as you. Melatonin will get me to sleep pretty quick but im up in 3-4 hours. If I hit the sack about an hour after a 2.5 mg edible dose, ill sleep 6+ hours straight easy.
Open heart surgery to fix a faulty valve I’ve had since birth and a minor tune up on my aorta. I posted about it a few times in the health care thread since it seemed like the most appropriate place.
That baggy contains the dangerous, Hispanic-sounding, schedule one narcotic, “marihuana”.
We are discussing legal, safe, American-made hemp products.
Our brilliant, exalted leaders, chosen from the very best of the greatest country in the world, figured out that the chemical in cannabis that causes instant death, or worse: reefer madness, is specifically D9THC. Furthermore, if you dilute THC to a concentration of less than .3% by dry weight (say, in a gummy) it too can become safe. This is why they passed one of the all-time great pieces of American legislation, the 2018 Farm Bill, which includes this text:
SEC. 12619. CONFORMING CHANGES TO CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ACT.
(B) The term ‘marihuana’ does not include hemp
The term ‘hemp’ means the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol [THC] concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.
I suppose the confusion is based on the old misleading thread title.
