I have had severe insomnia for over a year, where I wake up during the night and can't fall back into "real" sleep.

My doctor and psychiatrist have prescribed me all manner of pills, with mixed results. Ironically, they refuse to recommend mmj because of its harmful effects...but they are happy to prescribe all kinds of "legit" pharmaceuticals... which have some pretty f*ckin' harmful side effects! Hello....Seroquel?! Kidney damage and heart disease!

I did get my mmj card from another doctor, and have found that Indica seems to help fairly well with my insomnia. BUT...

It only seems to work for me if I smoke it. I'm not a smoker, and even after a year, I still get a terrible cough...whether I use a joint, pipe or bong. So I don't want to smoke my meds. Unfortunately, however, smoking seems to be the only method that hits me fast enough

So my question is, which alternate method delivers mmj effects the fastest? I need it to kick in FAST -- when I wake in the middle of the night, I don't want to be up for an hour waiting for my buzz to kick in.

So far, edibles don't work, because they take too long to kick in.
Tinctures don't work for me, either -- the high I get is not a "sleepy" high. Same with my vaporizer (Iolite).

I have heard that a THC liquid exists, which hits faster than tincture... but this can only be obtained with a prescription from a "real" doctor, at a "real" pharmacy. Obvioulsy, my "real" doc won't have anything to do with that...and my mmj doc has gone out of business So I guess that's out.


Anyone have any experience/advice with this issue? All help is massively appreciated!
