I started developing sleeping complications during the beginning of high school.
I know that section of it was from drinking so much root beer and caffeine in general, but that was in response to sedation.
In reality, it was the stress from being a student in advanced classes and worrying about tests and homework assignments. I also had a part time task during high school and had that as an extra source of stress looming over my head. It would have been straight-forward for me to get started with smoking weed as a young teenager and using that as a means of escape from my frantic life. Happily, I kept my wits about me and waited to try cannabis until after I had applied and been accepted into school. I loved how indica strains of cannabis were especially helpful with my chronic insomnia, so I hoped I could achieve the same with CBD products when I gave up weed for a task numerous years later. Sadly, CBD doesn’t act anything like a sedative just like some of the other cannabinoids and terpenes found in the cannabis plant. A medical marijuana physician told me that CBD by itself can exhibit stimulant-like effects by contrast. That’s why some say it’s wonderful as a mild antidepressant and use it for that reason. She also told me that terpenes such as caryophyllene and beta-myrcene are what I need to look for in cannabis extracts if I want to entirely feel tired and sedated. For example, a high CBD extract that is rich in sedating terpenes could honestly produce sedating effects compared to pure CBD. It’s a matter of finding the appropriate cannabis products for your particular ailment.
