About 50 years ago, when I first tried cannabis, as a teenager, I would get ripped on what would probably be ditch weed by today's standards, and I'd sleep like a dead person all night long.

Fast forward 50 years and cannabis, especially good indica, can still knock me out, but three or four hours later, it's completely worn off.

Now, I concede, my memory could be faulty, but I don't think so. Is there something about modern cannabis that just doesn't last as long, or are we just under so much extra stress in 2017, it doesn't last as long? Any of you other old fucks experience this?

Insomnia is part of aging, period. I don't know about you, but for me it's pain, or I have to go to the bathroom, or shit's just running through my head so I have to distract myself with a song or something.

Also, I know this isn't likely your problem but it is mine--hormones. I take all three major sex hormones because I produce almost none. And the one that lets me sleep like a wee bairn is progesterone. It's wonderful!

im not sure what is happening to me with the horrible insomnia i have had this last week ,i have never had it like this before.... thank you for posting this thread and thanks to those participating.

I have tried heavy indicas and chocolate medible with no success.

I will try the suggestion of the slow baked heavy indica cookie and the progesterone if I can get some from the doc.

In the meantime I have ordered this stuff.... it has a 60 day money back guarentee so figured its worth a shot. View attachment 669779

I remember staying up, but the insomnia was probably related to the white stuff. Sleeping was impossible but since I'm an alcoholic I would literally knock myself out. Drink a fifth or a six pack as soon as possible, sometimes I was out like a light.

When I quit drinking the sleep went away too, and ibuprofen pm by the handful because I refuse to use ambien or other sleep drugs. I got my DUI when I was awake, I don't need to be having unconscious adventures that I can't recall from taking sleeping pills.

Now, my ambien, my sleepytime, my ibuprofen pm comes with live resin bong rips or 99% flo distillate cartridges. Judgy McJudgerson might label it cross addiction but my cross addiction saved my life. My only regret is my tattoo.

Have you tried to up the dose significantly? Edibles knock me out, there is a kat here who makes fucking mean hashcap. I don't get the weed hangovers that I've heard of before, but I'm also not that guy who tries to dab a gram at a time. I am that guy who tops a bowl of flower with live sift and some wax or resin. GO BIG OR GO HOME.

Have you tried melatonin? That was always too weak for me but my mother with sciatica swears by it, but she won't take ambien or thc so it's probably as strong as what she can get for her comfort.

Do you think your insomnia is a result of something that is going on in your life? Stress at work, stress with life, uncertainty with finances, legal issues, current events, other issues that could be causing stress or otherwise creating unbalances, chemical or otherwise? I'm pretty sure the folks reading this thread are better than both a real doctor or webmd. I'm also pretty sure that last sentence is complete baloney.
