I am pretty new to the site, and first of all, i love what I see. Its nice that folks can get together and discuss this stuff freely on the web and make a lot of new friends in the process. Anyway, the topic at hand that I want to discuss is MJ and insomnia. I already suffer from a mild case of insomnia, but if i decide to chief on a gem square before I go to bed, I really dont have any problems sleeping. However, I have been clean for about 4 days in preparation for an oral swab drug test and I cannot go to sleep. and If I go to sleep i cannot stay asleep. Does anyone know of any medical studies that i can research regarding this matter, and what can I do to help the situation wtihout smoking.....I have tried everything. Thanks.

Lot's of people use marijuana as a sleep aid. I do. There are all kinds of sleep aids, some of them OTC, some of them prescription. Nothing is as safe as marijuana and the prescription sleep aids are a lot more expensive.

Outside of drugstore stuff, valerian extract is a safe herbal sleep aid. Being physically exhausted always puts me to sleep. Warm milk actually helps. I find that a hot shower right before bed knocks me out.

I have problems sleeping sometimes from working shift work. I alternate between three things with good results....marijuana, valerian root (capsules) and melatonin. I found that if I used one for an extended period it wouldn't do the job as well. By alternating between the three it works better. At least for me.

I use MJ as a sleep aid as well, but when I cant, or don't have any, I use Skullcap. You can make a tea, or smoke it. I'm out like a light after one joint. Use cautiously however, it's called "natures tranquilizer" for a reason.
