Insomnia

[ZerothDimension]

Hello all,

I have insomnia. Really bad insomnia; on good nights I sleep best 3-4 hours. I've recently begun to intake marijuana, through a vaporizer. More specifically the Extreme Q.
I got my hands on some mighty fine indica, and boy, can I tell you all that it does a wonderful job with helping me sleep. In fact, it does too good of a job. The past few weeks, I've been sleeping through my multiple alarms and getting to work up to half an hour late almost each day. Yesterday though, I not only slept through my alarm, but also most of the day, and I woke up at 230pm.
I thought maybe I've just been taking too much before going to sleep, so last night I only had a little bit and even started coming down from my high before going to sleep and I still slept through my alarm and arrived to work late.
What I'd like to know is if there's a strain out there that could help me sleep, but not that much. I hear sativas are good for the mild depression I have, but not for my severe insomnia.
I'm a health nut so I'll never resort to pills for any sort of long-term use, so I'm strictly looking for a strain of cannabis that can help out. More specifically, I'd like something I can get constant access to without it being a different strain each time. I know growing it myself would allow that but I'm in no position to grow anything at present. I also know of ways to obtain some online, specially through the deep web, but I'm unsure if it's the best avenue since law enforcement can easily track online purchases delivered straight to my door.

Thanks all for your input,
Zero.

Blue dream is my go to
Great uplifting motivational high with the warm body glow creeping slowly behind..smoke a bit more than normal and I can just drift to sleep..probly with a smile on my face
I don't get it to often though, couldn't tell you a breeder...I recreated it, at least the high, by crossing a jamaican landrace with a buddies blueberry kush of some sort..something about those blueberry plants, they really hit the spot for me

Try Jamaican Lion if you can get it. For me the ones with the most CBD are the sleepers. At my clinic they say that 1 in 5 have receptor swap between Indica and Sativa. Sativa makes them sleepy and Indica is arousing.

Also, daily vigorous exercise makes me a sound sleeper.

I have no idea where to look to find these specific strains... :/

i really like skywalker OG. for one thing, it's a less expensive strain and for another, its not too sedating, for me. That's the thing, sometimes you just have to try. I also find that diablo kush takes the edge off when i'm feeling anxiety and if i add a little kief (keif?) to the mix it has that subtle sedating effect.

All that being said, it could be that you just really needed the sleep! It could be that once your body hit that good sleep zone, it moved into recovery mode. I have read that it is possible to "catch up" on lost sleep hours, so once you are well rested, you may find that you adjust to a more typical sleep routine.

blueberry is a go to, here in cali, for the calming indica feeling.

have you tried leafly.com? you can plug in the strains available in your area and it has a simple graphic to describe the strain qualities along with user reviews.

Thanks for the responses, guys. That's a nice website, although it's a shame it's only for the US. It would be nice if they had data available for Canadians.

Order some off attitude or whatever

Order some off attitude or whatever

Is that a website? Is it safe to order from there?

Thanks

Yea its what most people use..huge selection, decent prices..good shipping and all that
Chicago customs I hear is snagging a lot of orders from all the seed banks so make sure you get guaranteed shipping if your up there I guess
But yes it is reliable

 

[CCCmints]

i'd recommend herbie's seed shop while attitude is going through these custom issues. i don't think they've resolved the issues they've been having so it's safer to use herbies atm imo.

 

[loverlyone]

i just got mine from seedsman. came thru with no problems

 

[ZerothDimension]

Would it make any difference that I'm up in Canada, with having to deal with customs? If my orders get snagged, can I be charged? Or just not receive it?

No it won't matter being in Canada. I have a friend that receives orders there.

I agree with CCCmints, although you probably wouldn't have a problem with Attitude, the forum is riddled with complaints https://www.rollitup.org/seedbank-reviews/

I would also recommend Herbies. http://www.herbiesheadshop.com

They are very fast processing and shipping orders, have better stealth and respond to customer service issues very fast.


As far as you staying sleepy, I had the same problem but solved it using St. Johns Wort. It's a natural herb that you can buy at almost any store and it's cheap.

I would recommend growing your own MJ. The savings and overall value is astounding.
Good luck

The worst thing is most adults with insomnia also suffer from a mental disorder. Insomnia patients using marijuana are showing positive result. With limited research, it is known that medical marijuana may be a viable alternative to traditional sleeping aids.

Alright, then what strains are a better option?

kontraband, cancyou elaborate on St John's Wort?

 

[wwrockyou]

Deep sleep eludes me also, always has, even b4 I started to smoke, although it is worse now. For me, weed is #1. Tried pills, St. John's, melatonin, exercise, reading, sex, you name it. The only thing that puts me to sleep and stay asleep for hours is weed. Wake up feeling refreshed and never late. I also know a lot of people who are the same, a few hits b4 bed and your out. But lack of sleep is not a medicinal reason...it should be.

X2 on herbies is A very great site to order from my package come fast and stealthy they have a nice selection on different strains if I was you I would try to find a good decent autoflowering strain better to be feminized to take the guess work out of what your growing! The higher the CBD the better it is for your specific case! It can get very overwhelming but ask questions before you order there's a lot of experienced growers on here that will help you every step of the way good luck and happy toking!

thanks, I'll definitely try out that site. I'm not in a position to grow right now, and I have never done it so I wouldn't even know where to start anyway.
