For the last five years I have had trouble sleeping.
I’ve tried everything to shut down my mind and fall asleep at night.
I upgraded my mattress and outfitted it with bamboo sheets. I added a special cooling gel pillow. I set up a sound machine and started working out for an hour every morning. I drank tea before bed. I was still extremely restless at night. I grew up and resided in the north for most of my life. The laws on cannabis there were terribly strict. My husband and I finally switched to the snowbird lifestyle, spending our winters down south. I suddenly realized that I could get access to legal marijuana quite easily. I immediately changed my address. I became a southern resident so I could get a cannabis card. I followed through with the whole process and received a medical marijuana card to treat insomnia. The doctor’s appointment, online profile and fee for the cannabis products were not overly expensive. I took my first trip to a legal cannabis dispensary and was so excited. I would choose from cannabis oil, flower, concentrates, edibles and tinctures. I like vaping cannabis oil right before bed. I load up the cartridge in my vape, take a few puffs and instantly relax. I don’t care if I get high as a kite as long as I sleep through the night. However, I have a strain that is low in THC and high in CBD. I just feel super peaceful and mellow. I finally sleep for several hours at a stretch because I use medical marijuana. I wake up feeling rested and in a better mood. For the summertime up north, I need to stock up on my cannabis products.
