Marijuana = Best natural sleep agent?

hell yeah man i do that all the time i fall right to sleep and even if i only get like 6 hours or sleep i still feel like i got 8

 

i just recently discovered (because i had to stop for a drug test, and i am and have been a daily smoker for a little over a year..) that i am almost unable to fall asleep if not high.. its incredible.. i dont know how i ever slept without it.. which kind of sucks.. because i dont want to have to depend on MJ to sleep for the rest of my life...

 

I have had insomnia since I was 13, and marijuana has always put me to bed. I had a simular experience to master cheif, so i went to a psychologist for sleep theropy. I have been perscribed a sleeping pill thats tiny. but guess what? I still prefer good old Marijuana.

 

Whenever I can't sleep I go outside smoke a joint.....it calms me and I can go to sleep

 

wow i wish i were like you guys, i smokeda bowl before going to bed b4 to see if i would sleep better.
WRONG
i could feel my heart beating faster and i kept thinking this deskfan on my bed was solid
(like the spacing where the air comes in one end and out the other) so i kept thinking it would overheat and set on fire

but sometimes when i come home high i will fall asleep right away watching t.v.

weird

 

any drug that makes you high will make you fall asleep better, that doesnt mean you should take it to sleep though. Alchohol will do the same thing , i wouldnt recommend drinking alchohol to sleep though.... I think marijuana is a great way to sleep and i use it to sleep all the time, as for it being the "best natural sleep agent" i dunno about that. There are plenty of natural sleeping pills that work alot better.

But yes marijuana helps me sleep too, i smoke so much that if i dont smoke before i sleep i cant sleep now. Which is kinda scary cause like dude said above i dont want to rely on weed to sleep.

 

I've had difficultly sleeping and remaining asleep for years. I've been on numberous drugs for it (legal), but they never work as well as MJ. I feel really well rested when I get up too (as long as I don't drink when I smoke )

But I think the reason that "sleep aid" might not ever help weed become legal is that for a lot of people (maybe half? IDK) it makes it harder to sleep. One of my friends get's really motivated to do stuff after he smokes.

 

shit yeah, makes me so tired..

 

This is how people become dependant on marijuana. Using marijuana as a sleeping aid shows ignorances and abuse of the drug.

Listen to me:
DO NOT USE POT AS A SLEEPING AID.

it will fuck you up in the long run, i've seen it happen dozens of times. You eventually become increasingly insomniatic when you are without it. Your body can become chemically dependant on the long run, your body adapts and your brains stops producing certain neurochemicals.

BAD SHIT.

take it from Rasta_Man, don't dope before you crash on a regular basis.

 

no doubt that MJ will put you to sleep quickly, but i like to enjoy the high, so i like to be awake, that and like rasta man said, it would get u using it on a regular basis to sleep...

 

Does that really apply though if you normally can't sleep anyway, which is the case with a lot of people who use MJ as a sleep aid? I mean, I've had insomnia long before I smoked, so yeah, if I didn't smoke before I go to sleep I might not have as good of sleep, but that's no different than before I smoked at all. Sleep deprivation is a mother fucking bitch, I promise being dependant on weed is better than being the brain-dead zombie that I was.

 

No offense, but if you're dumb enough to think that, then have fun.

If you rely on it, and you have a single night without it, you'll be absolutley fucked. The human brain is horribly dependant on a series of neurochemcials, and when you fuck it up by using ANY kind of sleep-inducers on a regular basis, it's fucked up for years to come.

 

NO WAY, canni is a horrible thing to get stuck for a sleeping agent. For the last year I have been on and off using it to sleep. The only reason I would stop is because I got in trouble. When you quit using it to sleep you get a slight dose of insomnia, I wouldn't recommend doing it much or you will get addicted to it. It's happened to me twice.

 

I forgot to add, the same with masturbating, don't do it.

 

I love you to..... in the plutonic, brothers and sisters of the world kina way.

I live around Toronto.

 

I'm dumb because I've had insomnia since I was 13, which was years before I started smoking? My insomnia has nothing to do with MJ because I've had it since before I smoked. Do I need to repeat that? Are you saying it's ok for my psychiatrist to prescribe drug after drug to knock me out at night, but using MJ is not? I guess by your logic, I should just bite the bullet and go through life getting ~3 hrs of sleep per night, completely unable to function. That's what my life was like BEFORE I smoked. Yes, chemical dependancy is bad, but you can't make a blanket statement like that without some clauses. For example, there are tons of people who are chemically dependant on a drug that keeps them alive (diabetics, for instance). Without it for a day, and they die. No one rags on them. If I found a pill that let me sleep at night and was given a prescription for it, then I'd be dependant on that instead of MJ. It's all the same. I'm not trying to argue that it's OK for everyone to use MJ to get to sleep, but for people who have prior sleep problems what's wrong with using bud? What's so different about bud from other sleep meds?

 

Actually i was calling you dumb because of you're willing ignorance to the fact that you may become seriously neurchemically dependant.

Also, i have had serious doubts of insomnia and depression because i have severe neurchemical inbalances as a child.

Irresponsibly using marijuana medicinially is the REASON that it is still criminal. People abuse the drug and exploit it to their own advantage when you're just adding to the problem.

Also, guided meditation has proven to be a great form of sleep induction, if you ask me, it's way more effective and reliable than any drug. You can take classes in any major city for sure. You should look into it.

Don't add to the problem, bro, be responsible and don't abuse the good herb.
No offense meant, man.
