I discovered accidently that smoking (now vaping) marijuana can help me to sleep through the nite. It doesn't work completely every nite, and is dependent on the quality of herb that I have on hand. Marijuana also took away most of the nausea I experienced constantly (reason unknown). The supplement Pregnelolone took away the remaining nausea.
Marijuana used to make me nauseous and I stopped smoking it for years and years because of it. So something has changed, probably hormonally in my now aging body, and marijuana has changed my life, feeling of well being, even my memory has imporved as I now can get some needed improved sleep.
I have a prescription for Marinol and find that it does not work well enough. I wondered if Marinol had THC that was not decarboxylated so I tried heating it before taking my prescribed dose. Alas I still don't feel good after a night on Marinol. Last nigt for example I took one 2.5 mg dose, felt woosy but OK enough to function around the house. I actually slept pretty good, but woke up feeling hung over. The first dosage I tried was 5 mg and I asked for a lower dose 'cause I felt so terrible the next day. On Marinol I feel almost bad as some of the sleep meds I have tried.
On a good nite after vaping marijuana I wake up smiling and feel great, energetic and rested for some time. I never feel hung over from the marijuana...only still feel the lack of sleep on occasion.
So I am wondering of one can get some cannabinoids from hemp oil, seeds or flour that can make up for the lack of them in Marinol. Hemp food products are only tested for low THC content, they will still have other cannabinoids. But which and how much, that is what I want to know about. If you have any detailed info/research/clinical or otherwise, or know of a source to obtain same, please post :o
BTW, I have sleep and other docs so I'm not posting here asking for sleep remedies. But if you have an educated idea why marijuana causes an increase in sleep efficiency please post. I've looked at the published research related to cannabis, etc., and sleep. What I'm looking for may be unpublished or in a lab somewhere or other.
