    Hi All,
    I'm new to this forum..I would appreciate any advice you can lend.
    My problem is stress that manifests itself in physical pain and lack of sleep.
    I have been told I have general anxiety disorder..call it what you like..I stress over everything and this Covid 19 crap has put me over the top.
    Tried the head pills, didn't do much for me.
    Awhile back before all this virus shit started, I was on a trip with a business partner, I told him I would probably get very little sleep as these trips stress me out. He offers me a hit of his oil vape. I took a good hit and headed off to my hotel room to try to sleep. When I hit that bed I had the most wonderful experience and night of sleep I have had in a long time. I felt like my body weighed a ton and sunk into the mattress, all pain and anxiety left me and I floated into a state I want to replicate every night. .I experienced peaceful hallucinogenic effects of a star filled dark sky overhead, my mind turned off and all the mental inputs that keep me awake fell silent and I drifted off. Next thing I know its 7 hours later and I had not woken up once. Problem is I have no idea what that stuff was, I asked him and he didn't really know..it was sent to him by a friend in a weed friendly state. I spent another 2 nights there and enjoyed a hit each night before bed with the same effects. Now I am back home and self medicating with booze which really does me more harm than good. I am going to contact my doctor to get a medical card if I can. I have no idea of the process and if I do get one what do I buy to replicate those nights. Its been many years since I got high, mostly because my job did drug screenings. I got pretty baked in my youth, but this stuff was different, it was not so much of an intense high and much more relaxing. Any suggestions on what I should look into ? BTW I have asthma and I would rather ingest or place oil under my tongue that inhale anything.
    Thanks,
    Greg

    I would try capsules.

    There are several different ratios of THC to CBD.
    I think you could benefit from both.

    Most strong indica strains will produce the good sleep you got.
    You should have little trouble finding something that works.

    to calm your fears some = Cannabis is a Bronchodilator ! no joke ...
    cannabis asthma inhaler cannabis asthma inhaler at DuckDuckGo
    \ Also, you receive that bronchodilation without need of smoking it though you can also receive it while smoking it too ... I recommend a quality Dry Herb vaporizer like a Solo or Fury vape as they are portable vapes ... you can get a desktop model like a Volcano or Extreme Q too .

    in all honestly I'd avoid vape pens with Carts ... that is risky use there as you could be inhaling Vitamin E acetate that gets used as a filler in black market vapes. a clean air path dry herb vape is much better ...

    Hi Greg, I'm "Granny", one of the local "know it alls". ;) In the 1920s, cannabis cigarettes were used to treat asthma. At one time it was possible to buy pharmaceutical-grade cannabis cigarettes over the counter

    Or if you like studies- Bronchodilator effect of delta1-tetrahydrocannabinol. (full - 1978)
    Bronchodilator effect of delta1-tetrahydrocannabinol.

    I agree with @Galaxy420, a herbal vaporizer would be the way to go. I have a little "Vapor Brothers Hands-Free" that I bought online about 15 years ago. I've had to replace the screens, but otherwise it just keeps going along, in spite of being dropped several times. It's small, silent, and fits in my desk drawer. And you can TASTE the cannabis! I LOVE it when I have a citrusy strain- the taste is amazing! Vaporbrothers | The Original Vapor Vaporizer Online Store

    I think you got a cartridge with oil from a strain with some CBD in it, an "indica" most likely. If your state has dispensaries, the budtenders will guide you to strains that should suit you. In California, ALL cannabis products in legal dispensaries are SAFE, and have been tested for purity.

    As to how to get your MMJ card- it varies from state to state. In California, it is remarkably easy. You walk into a cannabis clinic, show your ID, fill out a standard medical form, the receptionist ushers you into a small room with a teleconferencing set-up. The doctor comes on the screen, asks you a couple questions like "Does cannabis help your medical condition?" After you answer, the doctor says "Well, I recommend that you use cannabis for your problem." He signs off, you go pay the receptionist and she hands you a piece of paper saying that you are now a legal medical cannabis user! :yay:

    Other states? You can find out the details for other states here- Legal Issues

    For a sleep aid, try edibles that are Indica based.
    The more potent the better. Edibles will take 2 or more hours to begin working.
    Honestly just vape some Gorilla Glue or again anything Indica based.

    Find a hobby :)
    Talk to your friends about what's going on ;)
    Create an exercise plan :)

    When you find a strain to smoke or eat, look up that strain on

    Discover your cannabis

    That website will list the properties of the strain, so you can help make the right choice when purchasing.

    Also.. ask the bud tender
