My mother has insomnia

They divorced 4 years ago.
2 brothers got their flats.
I live with my mom in our apartment.
She's not angry, not an alcoholic whatsoever. Just having sleep problems.
Says she won't fall asleep for hours and if she does - wakes up too early to feel "good" in the morning.
It bothers me. A lot. I want my mom to be healthy and happy.
I already told her I knew the solution to her problem, but it would not be acceptable both socially and mentally (mostly because she comes from USSR)

I already told her I had a solution but now I have doubts.

I'm 100% sure it will help her with insomnia but not sure whether she accepts it and not just freaks out.

I pretty much "spoiled" the thing (telling I had a solution) and I DO want to toke with my mom occasionally because there's too much tension between us (i'm 23)

How should I do it?
Thanks.

 

first bring up cannabis casually and show her how safe it is, maybe watch The Union with her(link in my sig) all the way through, talk about it, talk about medical uses and "I was thinking that it may help your insomnia, if only you had access to it "

 

I just toked and LOL'd.
Brownies? No way I'm cooking the shit and feeding her. Shared spliff would so much more enjoyable. For me, at least.
I want to be honest and her to know what really DOES help and is so much underestimated and how much people live in their shells and don't accept information from the outside world. Just from tellys and people at work. Usually those are terrible.

 

That's a daaaaamn good idea

But I am also not willing to share my stuff all the time.
Because I am sure with decent psychological treatment the thing just will have to be around since

 

Hey,

My bong is on the way.
Maybe ... ? no ? ...

 

Not a bong, use either a glass pipe or a joint.

DO NOT use a spliff or blunt as the tobacco is dangerous, wont help her condition, and the harshness will turn her off.

Use a J or a glass pipe. Period.

 

thanks for all the input, guys.

I talked to my mom about it.
she said her insomnia wasn't constant and happened in ~60% of cases.
3-4 days a week.

She can't fall asleep for ~3 hours, then sleeps 2-3 hours and then the same pattern in the morning.

I told about medicine (pills) and she said she would rather not to use them, because of their addictive nature.

I've told about MJ and how body reacts to it, how melatonin is produced and how it affects sleep.

She fears of transition to "harder" drugs (lol) and there's nothing I could tell to prove whole the transition BS thing.

What I had feared the most was told: "everybody tells it's bad and addictive and leads to heroin". Yeah that's how word is spread amongst blind and deaf people these days.

Anyway..

I am sure we will come back to this topic in no time.

I didn't push at all, just pure facts, didn't want to prove the point at all.

She really looks bad and pale some days, smoke lots of ciggies and everything in her life is so monotone. One day I won't be around anymore and I stress about this a lot - she will fade away. She has zero to one friends and a shitty job.

Will post updates upon arrival.

 

watchin' it myself now, thanks!
