I guess I'll start with an introduction, lol.
I went through the phase of partying and using recreational drugs in my high school years - mostly pot. This went on for about a year or less until I stopped it all, figuring I had tried all the strains of cannabis in my grasp - none of which I wanted to continue my life doing.
After graduating from High School, I worked in a kitchen for 6 months, pulling no less than 45 hours of work and about an hour of lunch/break (yep, that's anywhere from 0-11 minutes a day) a week. Working so much and having about ~5 hours a week with my girlfriend, I noticed my problem getting sleep.
I have a few work-related injuries: clicky knees, internally hindered wrists, and lower back pain. None aren't too life-interfering, yet I've always had trouble getting to sleep all my life - it's as if I didn't want to let go of the day that passed before me. I was getting around 6 hours max a night as I always did in school (also played 5 years of basketball), but never quite needed more when I was working.
After seeing my doctor, I tried melatonin and acupuncture for about 4 months. Neither could help much.. I found myself unable to work from the dizziness (near-vertigo) and headaches from the melatonin - 1.5mg, all the way to 5mg doses - I felt slightly hungover. I attempted acupuncture more times than I would've liked; needless to say, it didn't pull more than an hour or so of more sleep. I was sleepy and exhausted everyday, even after ending my 6 month internship.
One day I was having a cigarette with one of my old buddies. He works and has obviously quit not long after I did two or three years back. We spoke of the days we used to smoke in high school - burnin herb to the point of pure stone/baked, running from the police, girls, etc. "C'est La Vie", he said. Going from seeing him every other day to not once in 6 months, we wanted to relish the passing of those times, and spark up a small joint - it must've been not even 0.75grams. It was nice, euphoric, slightly dizzy, pain (minor wrist and back) relieving, but I discovered something profound.
I took the MUNI SF bus back home, walking back and arriving at 10pm. I laid in bed, took 2mg's of the sleeping pills, and put on my headphones paired with slow relaxing tunes like that of Dream A Little Dream Of Me by Fizgerald ranging all the way to Light Ocean Blue by Entheogenic - as I always try to do to help sleep. "I ain't gonna dream of you if I don't sleep enough, Ella" I mocked.
I couldn't remember much after laying in bed, but when I woke up, I had actually remembered plots in my dreams instead of the usual snippets, I felt like a million dollars; I had slept!
After googling instead about cannabis possibly helping with more than just cancer or depression, and more about insomnia, I decided to find more information and apply for a MMJC (is that the right term?) - I wanted to be able to use medical cannabis more legally (obviously it still isn't federally accepted, but it helps relieve some paranoia with the cops!).
It's been almost three months of trying many different strains (20+) to see which would help most with my issue, researching, weedmap'ing, etc., and still I have yet to find what exactly that strain was. And since my search inquiries about this miracle plant cannabis seem to end up on this website a lot, I figured I'd make an account! And I will be posting a few reviews soon.

I was butthurt... but I understand that he said he doesn't want to get in trouble for it. Not my house.
