Cannabis as a Sleep Aid
Many customers ask about products that can help manage sleep-related issues. Whether your sleepless nights are due to pain, anxiety, or sleep apnea, we know that lack of sleep can affect a person’s overall wellbeing. In this article, we will cover the different cannabinoids, products, and dosing that can give your body the relaxing benefits with or without the high.
Cannabinoids are chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant that communicate with the body’s endocannabinoid system or receptors in the central nervous system. Here are the most common cannabinoids and their benefits:
CBD: Anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, reduces nausea, relieves spasms (non-psychoactive)
THC: Antioxidant, reduces pain, increases appetite, and helps with sleep (psychoactive)
CBN: Anti-inflammatory, reduces pain, relieves spasms, and helps with sleep (mildly-psychoactive)
Dosing is an important part of finding the right remedy for your individual needs. It’s always best to start slow and build your way up to higher milligrams. If you are new to cannabis or a specific product, we recommend starting with 1-2.5 milligrams and waiting 60-90 minutes to feel the full effects. Depending on how you are consuming cannabis, each product can be absorbed at a different rate. For example, it may take a while to feel the effects from edibles since they are digested and then enter the bloodstream, whereas the onset is felt immediately with vaping or smoking.
