Need help for chronic insomnia for my mom. CBD oil?

While I do like CBD for insomnia I don't know what would beat some good THC edibles. There is literally nothing that I sleep more soundly after.

I would try to get a hold of some canna butter or oil from a grower and make your own cookies for bed time. Start with a 1/4 cookie and if that works go up to 1/2.

THC has amazing potential for helping people sleep. I think people are so excited about finding other medical reasons to use it that huge one is a little ignored. Anyone who's been a long time pothead knows that they sleep much more soundly after smoking weed and hardly even remember their dreams. That's the first thing you notice when you quite smoking weed. You can't sleep and you have very intense dreams.

I wish I could just give you some cookies. I always have them around. I can't even use all my material for edibles. My friends who don't like to smoke weed love the cookies. A little bit goes a long was for a non-smoker. Usually 1/2 cookie is too much.

 

Sounds like a good reason to start a grow. Would she be down to start her own grow? Then you'll have all the material you need. THC edibles are the way to go for insomnia. I know people in cali that used to have problems with sleep and eat about 50mg's every night 2 hours or so before bed. Sleep like a baby.

Can you make trips to a legal state to get material to try? If it works start your own grow.

 

It works for some and not so much for others...CBD does nothing for me...Edibles same problem
I too suffered w/ insomnia and pain for 10+ years..Indicas do just fine for both conditions. Been smoking since 1969 and there is nothing that puts me out like a good strong Indica! (I am 69yrs old)

 

Seeing as she also has appetite issues THC would also help with that. CBD is relaxing/calming but the tail end of a good THC edible is almost like sleeping pills sometimes.

 

This is excellent advice. Sativas also put me to sleep, but not for as long as indicas. THC promotes sleep much better than CBD or CBN. 4 or 5 of my friends and I sleep far worse on high CBD strains than on regular strains. Some people do sleep well on cbd, so it's certainly worth a try. This is a decent source: cwhemp.com. Hemp is also cannabis, and the cbd from hemp is chemically identically to that from MJ. If you can get your hands on a small amount of a sleepy indica strain, you can easily make a very potent firecracker type edible. MJ edibles are your best bet.

 

Not looking good for recreational near you..

Cannabis is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Maybe if you approach the topic in that respect she would be more open to it?

"Dr. Li Gou Yong, author of the Bencao Gangmu, or Compendium of Materia Medica, explains that in Chinese Traditional Medicine, marijuana is called Da Ma. Although the Chinese recognized the plant’s consciousness altering effects early on, they also took note of its potential therapeutic uses. In fact, marijuana quickly became one of the fifty fundamental herbs of Chinese medicine, which means it was added to an impressive number of recipes."

"The application of cannabis to treat pain may go as far back as the 3rd century AD when the famous physician Hua Tuo was said to have developed an anesthetic formula known asma fei san or cannabis powder. However, this is speculative since the ingredients used in the ancient formula for ma fei san are lost. In another pain-related application, a physician in the Tang Dynasty (581-683 AD) reportedly used the juice from crushed cannabis leaves to treat excruciating pain from fractured bones. By 1070 AD, a text from the Song Dynasty entitled Illustrated Classic of Materia Medica references a preparation method for cannabis to treat severe pain. The recipe requires that the seeds of cannabis be soaked in water, then the sediment collected from the bottom of the water, stir-fried until aromatic in a silver vessel, and ground into a fine white powder; this is then boiled with alcohol and taken internally on an empty stomach. It is possible that this preparation would yield cannabinoids, as resin glands would sink in water and the heat from the stir-fry would decarboxylate THC acids into bioavailable THC, which can then be extracted when boiled with alcohol.

In applications relating to mental effects and mental illness, the authors of a 6th century text note the following: “take cannabis flower with ginseng and know of things that have not yet come.” A later redaction suggests this may be an overstatement and instead suggests that the combination of cannabis and ginseng allows one to “know the affairs of the four directions” and also treats forgetfulness. In a text from the 7th century, cannabis was said to treat wind-withdrawal, a traditional term relating to mental illness."

 

Damn..Nevada legalized Medical in 2002..took about 10 yrs for dispensarys to open and laws to be written.

 

Sux I now..never thought I would see Recreational legalized here..Voted in last Nov and the 1st rec dispensarys will open in early July! The only answer I see for you is to grow your own..Very rewarding..ie: I spent over $1300 on y setup, seeds, etc...4 ladies in the Picture 3 wks into flower.. Should provide maybe 3 ozs dried per plant..Sooo..4 x3oz = 12oz dry + all the sugar leaves and Fan leaves (Fresh Fan leaves make for excellent weed smoothies..good for inflammation.and baking maybe). Dispensarys here get $200-$300 per oz for dank..Sooo. figure 12oz x say $200 (consertative) = $2400 not spent with dispensaries..Over 2x times my initial investment...ROI seems excellent and my local grow shop (over 15yrs growing) thinks my yield will be much more..Will be swimming in weed soon!!

 

Be VERY careful with the DEEP WEB..Crooks and Cops Galore!

 

The dark web is a honey pot for both law enforcement and criminals. Find yourself a local grower and buy his clippings for a reasonable price the old school way. Face to face. Make your own canna coconut oil. It's easy. I find it bakes better and is more potent then butter but butter also works well. Use unsalted.

 

hey mate. I also have chronic insomnia and often go 3-6 days with no sleep at all. CBN seems to be an insanely hard hitter. thc and dimenhydrinate (here in canada the brand name is gravol) 50 mg also seems to put me under. I also have Anxiety depression and panic disorder. be careful with strains and she will be okay. as for trying just pure cbd, you can get it in the states legally from companies like Charlotte's Web Hemp Extract Oil Dietary Supplement: CW™ Hemp. CBD will also help with the anxiety. As for CBN i have a threat going on how to degrade thc to cbd the fastest and most effectively. From what i can see also ohio has a medical marijuana program? Insomnia - CBN for insomnia treatment.
