Also, I meant to add:
The reason I have insomnia is because my mind races constantly and I can’t shut it off. I worry about everything, and by nature of my profession, I have to take my work home with me and be thinking about it 24/7.
I’ve found that pot is the only thing that effectively “mutes” my mind.
Personally, pot makes me sleepy, and my friend will doze off almost immediately after having a few puffs. Like many others, I have tried OTC and prescription sleep aids to no avail, but pot does it every time. I have never woken so rested and ready to tackle the world as when I’ve smoked some the night before.
However, be advised that for some, pot leaves you with a “hangover” the next day, which can make you feel out of your element.
If you have a medical weed card then you can grow it yourself legally.
i myself would benefit from medical marijuana due to my sleep condition. Too bad its not legal in massachusettes yet..
Hi everyone
For the last three years i’ve been suffering severely from insomnia. I’ve been to a psychologist and numerous doctors. I have tried almost every form of natural sleep aides, sleeping tablets and all those various breathing and relaxation techniques, none have helped at all. I mean, i’m living here in south-africa, and it’s 4:30 in the morning. I have recently started college this year, and tried marijuana for the first time. Slept better than i have in the ages!
The only problem is that my mother is biblical about using marijuana. What would be the correct way to go about attaining a a medical certificate, and how do i explain it to my mom? please, does anyone have advice or guidance?

@Greg… depending on where you got your cannabis, if you were smoking any marijuana you got on the street it was probably savita. If you were to smoke Indica you probably would have a more pleasant relaxing experience, this is the type of pot that is recommended for insomnia patients.
The indica variety of cannabis is recommended for insomnia. I imagine the common variety sold on the street is savita. That one will keep most people awake. You must buy your herb from a professional source who can identify it.
I have only recently used pot after having a bad experience way back in high school. It puts me right to sleep – and i have sleep problems! I hope they make it legal in my state soon and after it’s legal, I hope i can afford it. It is a great sleep aide for me.
Hey, can sleep be a HOBBY? I guess maybe it’s more appropriately a passion., maybe because I’ve had trouble sleeping until late in 2009. I find that having the right bed works wonders, as does meditation. It’s such a pity that so many people turn to benzodiazapenes (sp?) to fall asleep and caffeine + antidepressants to wake up in the morning; doing these things pretty much guarantee insomnia.
Most important to getting good sleep is creating a good environment and taking NATURAL supplements for sleep. I have changed my own life around since making better lifestyle choices and taking the right supplements for sleep. Why does everyone feel the need to chug caffeine, though? That’s one I don’t really understand.
Once I weaned myself from the stuff, I noticed I had much more energy. Yes, it took quite awhile, but now, I sleep like a rock, the headaches are gone, and I feel like a human being. Trust me on the supplements, though – that’s really gotten me through. Look for Melatonin and 5HTP – these two hormones are tested safe, and they really and truly work. In the FINAL analysis, however, only cannabis seems to help me, and I recommend it to all of my friends.
Like a few others here, I cannot seem to get a decent night’s sleep using pot. I stay awake for several hours after smoking. I have now stopped smoking and the insomnia has become almost total, and accompanied by other symptoms.
I never really believed in a cannabis withdrawal syndrome until I looked it up and noticed many other symptoms along with the insomnia. I should point out that I have always been abnormally sensitive to pot and only need a small amount to get the effects. Amounts that are “normal” for other people give me a really bad, anxiety-filled experience.
Best wishes to those helped by pot however, hopefully drug law reform will happen. Where I live, in a part of Australia where laws were formerly strict, average amounts of pot have been decriminalised and are now regarded as being for personal use. Not many places do drug tests (yet) either.
