THE ADVICE

This is the funny one. One of the main things you hear about both CBD & cannabis is that people use them to help with sleep. But these cannabinoids are the most unpredictable & tricky to figure out what works for you.

 Basically, you have 4 molecules worth trying: CBD, THC, oleamide & CBN. THC is the molecule in cannabis that gets you high – and CBD is the one that you that doesn’t get you high. Oleamide is an endocannabinoid related to sleep & CBN is a lesser-known cannabinoid from the plant that’s associated with sleepiness.

 The problem is while low levels of CBD tend to put people to sleep, high levels can be alerting like a cup of tea. In addition, everyone’s endocannabinoid system is different & you don’t know how will CBD will affect you until you try it. For me, it always keeps me awake (in a nice way) – but I never take it after 5PM. For my wife, it always puts her to sleep & its just the thing before bedtime. To find out, you must experiment.
