Strains For a Great Nights Sleep
Aside from the anecdotal evidence, many studies support the idea that weed can be an effective sleep aid. However, as usual with cannabis, it's not a one-size-fits-all situation.
Strains with specific mixes of cannabinoids and terpenes can give you an optimal experience. Additionally, overcoming Insomnia may require more than the right strain of weed and mean making some lifestyle changes.
The psychoactive properties of THC, the soothing properties of CBD and the presence of a less common cannabinoid, CBN, can help you feel relaxed, calm, and ready to drift off into deep sleep. Certain terpenes, such as the lavender-like linalool, are also touted for their sleep-inducing properties.
