When I was in college, I started having chronic sleeping problems.
It might have been from the obscene amount of coffee I was drinking, or the coffee was a side effect of the drowsiness during the day from the lack of sleep.
Whatever the case may be, this problem didn’t magically end after I graduated from undergraduate school. If anything, my issues with insomnia only got worse as I made my way through graduate school and earned my PhD. Nowadays I have tried everything from melatonin to benadryl. So far, the only herb that has worked well for me is valerian root, but I have to get it from a reliable source if I want the best effects. Even though I never thought I’d use marijuana in any form, I decided to try a joint of Purple Kush that a friend offered to me one night when we were having dinner at his house. I wasn’t expecting the marijuana to be so sedating, but it hit me so hard that I had to walk over to his couch to take a short nap. That experience couldn’t have been better for selling me on using cannabis as a sleeping aid. And from what I was reading, it was no more addictive than eating chocolate or pizza on a regular basis if they’re your vices. I typically buy indica strains in flower bud form whenever they go on sale so I can get a lot for less money than usual. As long as the dispensaries keep having sales, I’m going to wait and spend my money then instead of paying full price during the rest of the month. The only thing I have to do is strategically time my purchases of my orders of marijuana products from the cannabis dispensary. If I stock up each time, this isn’t very hard to do.
