I have some health issues including essential hyperteinsion, depression, insomnia. I was diagnosed with MONO in 2016.\n\nFor the past 2 years I have tried medications that were either sleep meds or psychiatric meds to help with sedation.  Some helped for awhile, but my body eventually developed a tolerance.  In general, my tolerance for meds is LOW.\n\nCurrenly I am using a Dosist Sleep Pen at 9 PM and I do get high from 1 dose.  However, by 11 PM, I am still not sleepy at all.\n\nIn the past, I have tried 8:1 and 1:1 CBD Subliminal Tinctures, 18:1 CBD Gel Caps, PLUS Restore Gummies.  None have helped significantly with sedation.\n\nI do my best to be active and work my body.  I do not take any recreational drugs or use any alcohol.  I try to observe sleep hygiene and practice mindfulness.  \n\nMy general health is good.  My PCP examined me last fall.  My current meds include a statin, blood pressure, vitamins, and baby aspirin.  \n\nI am financially stable, have rich history of family and friends, am divorced since 2013.  I am working on lifestyle changes, but it is slow going.  Since 2005 I worked with seniors  in Senior Communities. I have been working on a spiritual practice, recently learning what Ananda has to offer.\n\nAny comments or suggestions are much appreciated.\"\n_____________________\nLook at the strain of cannabis you are using as well.  You should try to aim for an indica strain which has a more of a sedating and relaxing effect.  Sativa is more energizing and better used in the day time.  You should look for a product that has a mid to high range THC (if no contraindications) and I would advise you dose in an oil form as the effect will last longer but of course the onset is much slower than inhalation.  Follow sleep hygiene rules and you don't want to develop a sleep dependency issue with any sleep agents, and lastlly I would advise that you consider a referral for a sleep study from your primary care provider.  \n\nAmyT","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_12223-markdown","title":"What Happens When You Mix Weed And Alcohol!","slug":"what-happens-when-you-mix-weed-and-alcohol-1","content":"\"Some people enjoy the ‘crossfading’ effect mixing alcohol and cannabis gives them as it can create an enhanced experience.

Because of this, it only makes sense for the two to be used in combination by a large number of our population.

So what really happens to the body and mind when you mix the two? \"\n_____________________\nHi there!\nLike most everything in life, moderation is key. It is true that some enjoy 'crossfading', while others become dizzy or nauseous. However, the variation of experiences between one person to the next has much more to do with their tolerance to alcohol and THC, than it does to genetic variance.\n\nIf you've been around  cannabis long enough, you've probably witnessed (or experienced  yourself) a THC overdose , otherwise knows as \"greening out\".  Most of the symptoms of a 'crossfading' gone wrong episode are shared with a  'green out', such as paranoia, increased heart rate, shortness of  breath, disorientation, and even a lack of mobility.\n\nMixing  alcohol with cannabis greatly increases the chances of experiencing a  'green out', because the alcohol actually increases blood THC levels.  So, as mentioned, whether or not a person experiences elevated euphoria vs a 'green-out',  has more to do with how much alcohol and cannabis is consumed, than it does the individual.\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4749481/\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11543984\n\nI hope this helps!!\n\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_12209-markdown","title":"CBD products that don't have alcohol in them I'm not allowed to use any alcohol at all thank you","slug":"cbd-products-that-dont-have-alcohol-in-them-im-not-allowed-to-use-any-alcohol-at-all-thank-you","content":"\n_____________________\nHi there! \n\nYou can view Elixinol's Product Specification and Analysis here: https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/elixinol-content/uploads/2018/10/04153344/Capsule-15mg-converted.pdf\n\nHowever, if you would like to avoid alcohol, you may want to consider a different method of consuming CBD. \n\nInstead of trying for capsules or tinctures, you may be better off using topicals - such as lotions, patches, or gels. Most of these products will not contain alcohol, or very insignificant amounts. \n\nYou may also consider using a CBD vaporizer.

However, CBD can possibly -- when extremely high doses are taken -- alter how some medications are metabolized. \nCBD is safe to take with alcohol as well.
