I have tried the CBD sublingual spray and CBN sleep tincture.  They are each over a dollar a day.  What about sleep strips or something that I can use after brushing my teeth so I don't affect the product or brush it away? \"\n_____________________\nPersonally, I have found that edibles are the most cost effective and effective way for me to get to sleep and stay asleep. CBD has been indicated in some research to actually keep people awake, which seems counter intuitive as it is also a relaxant. THC seems to be the most effective cannabinoid for sleep for most people, although CBN does work for people as well but usually in conjunction with THC.\n\nThe nice thing with edibles is that you can eat it an hour before bed perhaps right after dinner and then brush your teeth and then get ready for a peaceful slumber. Edibles are metabolized by liver and also offer longer lasting effects. The typical edible will last for 4-6 hours depending on the dose.\n\nMy favorite edibles in California are Kiva terra bites, Satori chocolates and Auntie Dolores. Many people claim that 10mg is right for them, but I never go above 5mg. It is often an effort with trial and error to see what works for you and everyone is unique.\n\nI hope this helps!\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nAbsolute Extracts Sleepy Time Spray is an excellent product to try for some nighttime insomnia.

In addition:  muscle spasms, chronic pain, leg weakness, difficulty sleeping.  In my four years on medical marijuana, the blessed herb has “quelled” my pain enough to get some sleep, but not deep enough sleep to ever feel rested.   My question for you is:  What do you believe to be the best ratio of THC to CBD for muscle spasms and resulting pain.  I wrote THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA HANDBOOK: A PATIENT’S GUIDE TO HOLISTIC HEALING WITH CANNABIS, so I know a bit on the topic -- but it's not easy finding specific ratios for specific issues. And, as I'm sure you know, other cannabinoids like CBN, CBG and CBC are also noted to help with pain and spasms, but almost never listed in a chemical analysis available to patients. A very well respected M.D. who has written books on cannabis told me to use a ratio of 3:1 CBD:THC.  So I’m doing my own trial on that right now, using two separate products to get that ratio – or close to it, anyway.  But I’d love to know your opinion.  Thanks for being there and for your help! Norma\"\n_____________________\nI certainly don't have the kind of problems that you've had to deal with since birth but your question has significant complexity. I actually would like to know what you're doing the rest of the day. Are you taking CBD during the day? Do you have a good sleep hygiene, like wearing sunglasses about an hour before bedtime? Do you have a stressful job? Do you notice your mind won't shut up? Do you maintain a healthy blood level of vitamin D3? Are you doing Sativa and then following it with Indica? Have you tried a large doses of CBD or concentrated CBD? Are you rubbing your body down with 1:1 CBD: THC Salve before bedtime? Are you taking concentrated calcium (increases muscle spasms) or do you take magnesium? Have you had your genetic chart done with a methylation analysis? If you have your methylation analysis it may reveals at you need specific nutrients, or if you have COMT snps (Single nucleotide polymorphisms) in your chart, it indicates that you are very sensitive to neurotransmitter imbalances and you may benefit from stabilizing the neurotransmitters with other supplements.\nI would love to continue this dialogue but I can only answer one time and then you must come back in with a new entry in order for me to answer you again.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nHello there!  To start off, I want to  say kudos for taking the challenges of even \"mild\" CP and going on to overcome said challenges and even write a book on med. cann that has helped others!  Besides the excellent advice from Dr. Olsen, I might add that you might want to look into two sets of  med cann products.  One set, for daytime, might have more CBD & THC  and the other set of med cann products with more THC & CBN.   The reason that I don't set a specific ratio of cannabinoids is that every person is different in their response!  At least for me, one of the beauties of cann. medicine is that dosage is placed in the control of the patient.  So I say go ahead and experiment;  for example the 3:1 ratio of CBD:THC is probably not supported by any literature but by a pooled analysis of the pts seen by this physician.   However, why not experiment (carefully) w/ 2:1 ratio?  or 10:1?  Don't forget, method of cann. intake will also effect the pharmacodynamics/ pharmacokinetics (what the drug does to the body and vice versa).  That is, using a vape-pen will be a completely different experience from trying tincture drops in tea or even micro-dosing edibles.    I hope that this helps; feel free to joing any of our qualified MD's for a tele-chat session!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7035-markdown","title":"This i what 've been using and my obstructive sleep apnea persists.

May I ask about your dosing regimen? How much are you taking and how often? Are you taking other medications as well? Are you under a doctor's care? \n\nMeanwhile, I would also consider using some of our topicals, such as rubbing the balm on your chest and over the bridge of your nose as a bronchodilator. A soak in Cannabis infused epsom salts before bed might help as well. But none of this should replace your medical regimen or counter your doctor's advice.\n\nI will be back as soon as possible.

If you haven't been able to tolerate it in the past may I recommend that you slightly increase your CBN and THC dose as tolerated to allow you to cont using your CPAP machine.

I would assume that the costs involved with printing detailed strain information for each batch are quite cost prohibitive and while there are a select few individuals who would actually be able understand and use the extra information, the majority of the general public seems to only be concerned with overall THC and CBD content. I agree that it would be nice to see a sativa or indica only product from Kiva as there are definitely differences in the way they can be used.\n\nvickidoesdabs\n_____________________\nWe employ several methods of extraction to concentrate the actives found in the cannabis plant.  While we are particularly interested in THC and CBD, we do analyze for the total cannabinoid and terpene profile of our hash and oils.  While THC & CBD are not monographed per USP/FDA standards, they are the most studied with data to support their therapeutic affects.  While there is data in the ethos that speaks to the therapeutic affect of the other cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant, we do not have reputable data to support reporting any levels that would guide our patients as to their affects.\n\nlonnette","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6608-markdown","title":"Which products have high levels of CBN?","slug":"which-products-have-high-levels-of-cbn","content":"\n_____________________\nCannabinol, or CBN, is the cannabinoid within cannabis that is responsible for the sedative effects. For this reason, if you seek to find a strain that will put you to sleep, you want one that is high in CBN. Interestingly, THC over time degrades to CBN so a vape pen left in a hot car over time will have more CBN than from the time you first bought it. Also, marijuana that has just aged for too long may have higher concentrations.\n\nThe best way to find a high CBN strain is to go to a dispensary that lab tests. You should be able to read the cannabinoid profile of the strain and/or do research online beforehand to see which strains are higher in CBN.\n\nIt is a bit trickier when looking for products other than flower as many products don't list cannabinoids beyond THC and CBD.One might assume that if a product is touted for being 'good for sleeping' the strain used within the product will contain more CBN.\n\nI am not a doctor and this post represents my opinion.

Over 60 cannabinoids and numerous other compunds can be found in different ratios, depending on genetics, growing conditions and other factors. Our understanding of cannabis is growing each day, but is far from complete. The effects of cannabis are far more complicated than just THC and CBD. In fact each cannabinoid and compound will contribute to a synergistic \"entourage\" effect that is more than the sum of the parts. The other less well known cannabinoids will soon be given more attention. I would pay most attention to the smells and feelings that each different strain provides, rather than relying on a machine to determine cannabinoid ratios.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10695-markdown","title":"I would like advice on the use of CBD, CBN and THC for insomnia; what is best?","slug":"i-would-like-advice-on-the-use-of-cbd-cbn-and-thc-for-insomnia-what-is-best","content":"\n_____________________\nThere isn't a simple \"best\" answer, and patients react differently to different strains, but I'm happy to offer some general information. \n\nCBD is very effective at treating anxiety and can have a sedating, relaxing effect. If your insomnia is due to anxiety or racing thoughts, a higher ratio of CBD:THC may be helpful.  \n\nTHC can be energizing and uplifting for some patients and can worsen anxiety in others.  Strains lower in THC may be better for insomnia.  CBD also counteracts some of the effects of THC.\n\nCBN is sedating, and CBN levels increase as marijuana ages, so you might consider older cannabis!\n\nIn general, patients find that indica strains tend to work better for insomnia than sativa strains. \n\nAlso, while vaporizing is faster-acting, edible cannabis is longer-acting; so an edible indica might be the solution for maintaining sleep and comfort for a full 6-8 hour rest period.  \n\ndredmunds\n_____________________\nYou might try: Alta California's Botanicals: Insomnia Relief Tincture.
