>Researchers at Imperial College London followed 125 patients diagnosed with an insomnia disorder who were prescribed medical cannabis and enrolled in the UK Medical Cannabis Registry. Participants either ingested cannabis oil, smoked dried flower, or a combination of the two. Improvements in sleep and other symptoms were observed after one month of treatment and continued over the 18-month course of the study.

>However, the magnitude of improvement declined over time, suggesting that some patients developed tolerance to cannabis. Less than 10% of patients reported mild side effects, such as dry mouth, insomnia and fatigue.

>“Over an 18-month period, our study showed that treatment for insomnia with cannabis-based medicinal products was associated with sustained improvements in subjective sleep quality and anxiety symptoms. These findings support the potential role of medical cannabis as a medical option where conventional treatments have proven ineffective,” said co-author Simon Erridge, a PhD candidate at Imperial College and Research Director at Curaleaf Clinic, a cannabis dispensary.

Interestingly, Thailand just changed its cannabis laws and insomnia and depression were among a very few acceptable prescribed medical uses.
I used to have terrible insomnia that affected all aspects of my life. My doctor prescribed me every sleep medicine under the sun to no avail. Out of pure desperation I tried cannabis, and to my total surprise, that first night, I was finally able to get a good nights sleep. I have a vaporizer that I keep by my bed, and just before going to sleep I take one hit and that relaxes me and calms me down enough to sleep. I’ve kept this routine for the last 10 years. I don’t wake and bake; I don’t do bong rips after work, it’s simply one hit before bed, and it’s definitely changed my life for the better.
I thought it had repeatedly been shown to impair REM sleep?
Smoke yourself out enough, anyone will fall asleep by 8pm
Until they start using it 18 hours a day, and switch to „medicinal“ with 20% THC, then, they become addicts.
