Melatonin is one of the brain chems that makes you feel tired, weed increases that by something like 3000% which is why you get really tired after you start to come down from smoking weed. Which is why a lot of people including myself use marijuana to get to sleep and maintain sleep longer without interruption.

How much do you take? I've been taken a 3mg pill and it does NOTHING for me.

Since im dry I've had a hard time falling asleep. I hate having insomnia.

actually what melatonin does is help your body to reset it's internal sleep schedule. exactly how it does this i'm not too sure about (try using the Submit A Question thing on a website @ www.holistichealthline.com), but alot of travellers use it when they're changing time zones constantly.

New Book Links Marijuana To Melatonin Production

August 28, 1997, Washington, D.C.: Smoking marijuana stimulates melatonin production in the human body at greater levels than any other known method, allege authors of a new book entitled Your Body's Natural Wonder Drug: Melatonin.
Authors J. Reiter, Ph.D. and Jo Robinson cite an Italian study that discovered significantly higher melatonin levels in subjects who consumed marijuana within the last half-hour than those who abstained. The authors speculate that some of marijuana's therapeutic properties could be linked the increased production of melatonin.
"The fact that smoking marijuana is accompanied by a dramatic increase in melatonin production may explain some of the drug's positive effects, [including] ... being used to counteract the toxicity of chemotherapy, treat migraines, reduce intraocular pressure, minimize pain, treat menstrual cramps, and moderate wasting syndrome in AIDS patients," the authors state.

i take a 1 mg pill at night it's the kind that dissolve under your tounge tho... it doesn't make me sleepy, which threw me off..... i took it, about half an hour later i'm laying in bed like i always am, mind racing like usual all the things that usually happen when i won't be able to fall asleep cuz i don't have drugs/sleeping pills, then all of a sudden, i'm waking up in the midddle of the night to roll around and get comfterable, realizing i feel asleep... which with me, is quite amazing. i was able to sleep last night too....

now onto another question.... why the fuck am i so goddamned horny now? for the past two days all i can think about is pussy, and how bad i want it >.< good thing i'm married or i might have to stop taking this wonder drug....

I was recommended it as a sleep-aid last year, I said fuck it after increasing my dose each night with no improvement on my sleep. I ended up taking a handful one night and just layed in bed thinking "WTF" (yes, double-yew tee eff)

I have never heard of melatonin pills before.
Sounds a bit dodgy to me...lol

Do you have to be prescribed them or can you get them from a chemist?

[Az.]

K doesn't matter just read they do not have to be prescribed....

did you know they are used as a dietary suplement
and "In animal models, melatonin has been demonstrated to prevent the damage to DNA by some carcinogens, stopping the mechanism by which they cause cancer."

[slipknotpsycho]

yea i read about that as well... but if i was worried about damaged dna caused by carcinogens i wouldn't be smoking <.< i'm just glad i can finally fucking sleep without having to pretty much be literally put the fuck out... it feels so good... and weird at the same time....
