Melatonin to curb weed withdrawal?

[moeburn]

Has anyone tried a melatonin supplement when they run out of weed?

Apparently cannabis causes a 4000% increase in melatonin secretion when smoked, thus depleting it and causing insomnia to some who quit.

Exactly. There is more to life then seeing it through bloodshot eyes. When you don't have it, you don't have it, ya know.

Its cool that you guys can get through a lack of weed, but some people including myself find it very difficult to go back to sleep. This lack of sleep, produces a lack of REM sleep, a lack of hormonal balance, memory loss, lack of attention, and ultimately depression and anxiety.

The lack of sleep is caused by a lack of melatonin in the brain, caused by smoking too much weed during the dark hours when melatonin is most produced. The smoking of the weed was caused by me putting a joint to my mouth, lighting it, and inhaling.

I have things to do tomorrow that I would rather do with energy and attention. This cannot be acheived by smoking more, and this cannot be acheived by "knowing that the weed is not addictive, it is only you". This can be acheived with plentiful sleep, but unfortunately I'm not experienced in getting sleep without melatonin production in my brain. Maybe I will be someday, but tonight, I would like a supplement.

i don't got to worry about it, i was an insomniac well before i started smoking weed... started weed at 13, been an insomniac (a really hardcore one at that) since i was about 5..... if you were to actually of gone through and counted the hours of sleep a normal person got through 20 years of life, then go and do the same to me through 20... you would find i got about 1/3 of the sleep a normal person does... maybe less.

Just take a few Xanax and pass out.

Not that hard.

Yeah same here, I've been an insomniac since my kindergarten years. Just never felt like sleeping until about 2AM. Its quite an interesting game, seeing if I can fall asleep earlier.
