I’ve never been a big pot smoker. I tried it a few times when I was younger, but I never found it to be a pleasant experience. Alcohol wasn’t much different. I might have a beer every once in a while, but I didn’t enjoy getting drunk any more than I enjoyed getting stoned. All of this changed a few years ago when I developed a terrible case of insomnia. I couldn’t sleep for several nights in a row, until I collapsed and spent a night at the hospital for exhaustion. One of the nurses who treated me suggested I try using some medical cannabis to help me sleep more deeply. I told her of my aversion to getting stoned, and she explained there were a wide range of cannabis products that produced no euphoric feeling. I decided to talk to an expert, and went to the nearest cannabis dispensary to speak with one of the budtenders. I told him about my sleeping issues, but that I didn’t want to get stoned, and to my surprise he had a bevy of different cannabis products that fit the bill. These weren’t CBD products, they were made from the marijuana plant, but had a markedly different effect than any weed I had ever tried. I bought a selection of cannabis gummies in different dosages so that I could try them all and see which ones worked best. Long story short, the cannabis gummies had a major impact on my sleep cycle, and I am now getting rest all night long, every night.
