lol... you know those legal buds? One type actually IS hops. Humulus lupulus.

Totally legal.

If you have balls, fire up a CLEAN UNUSED bowl in public sometime... better not have any pot residue in it.

lol. my Arabic friend bought over some backy known as dockha - the nicotine content is obscene - gives u such a head rush. he used to smoke that in the pub in a obvious weedesk pipe. the backy was light green and he used to keep it in a sealey bag lol

extremely interesting...I've been battling insomnia for a few years now and the past few days have been terrible... only a few hours of sleep here and there...

Like the sleepiness aspect of it, does it knock you back on your ass or is it more calming and relaxing... Because for if I'm laying in bed for longer than 20 mins trying to get to sleep..I'm screwed for a few hours..I have to get up and move around..(I need something that'll knock me out, and I'm not a fan of prescription sleep aids..although they do work very well for me)

i found 2 massive fields of hops yesterday not to fair from my house. it was a bout 7 foot tall and looked like hemp at 1st glance - it looks like those photos u see from Africa etc..

wow stinkyattic, very informitive. I might have to get me some hops growing. I can never seem to sleep without something to put me to sleep.

Wow - a lot of people with sleep problems here...

I was having sleep problems (if you can call four years of insomnia "sleep problems") up until about five months ago, then, apparently, it was cured.

For ten nights in a row I took a large dose (1.0mg) of Alprazolam (Xanax) - .25mg is a pretty standard dose for Xanax, if you want to be functional. .5mg puts you in LaLa land. 1.0mg knocks you out real quick and for a pretty long time. (If your physician doubts the wisdom of this regimen, tell him/her to compare the pharmacology of Xanax and Dalmane.)

The purpose of this was to reset my internal time clock, so, just like with our plants, it's important to go to bed and arise at the same time everyday - and no naps!!!

After ten days, I started sleeping really well without any drugs. Ten days on Xanax isn't enough to get you jones'd, so there weren't any unpleasant side effects when I quit taking the drug.

If you're into more natural treatments, I found a kick-ass Valerian extract (125mg). It's called "Valmane" by Solvay Pharma. I bought mine in Greece, I have no idea if it is available in North America.

Life is so much better with sleep!

Yes, if you have sleep problems look at possible CAUSES too... like if you are prone to insomnia, don't do other activities in bed, like reading or watching TV- you will get into habits of being in bed but awake. No naps. Get on a VERY regular sleep schedule. Get some exercise in the evenings.

Hop plants are actually related to Cannabis.
