I am a legitimate medicinal marijuana user, however, and my arthritis, aches and pains have come back. With that being said, I am trying to find research on (but have had no luck) whether or not CBD oil would also suppress REM sleep, or if using that would allow me to figuratively have my cake and eat it too? I want to be able to continue dreaming lucidly, vividly, and nightly as I currently am, but I also don't want to have to deal with the pain. Thank you for your time.\"\n_____________________\nHello,\nAccording to one study, similar to THC, CBD was shown to reduce the time spent in REM sleep. The study also suggested that CBD reduced stage 4 sleep. \nhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0014579306008155\nHowever, in order to better understand how CBD affects your own ability to dream, I recommend that you consume pure CBD at the same time you would take your \"standard\" cannabis. If you still don't dream much, try taking the dose earlier, so that the CBD and or/THC has more time for elimination. \n\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\nThe effect of cannabis on REM sleep duration is well established, and most regular cannabis users report increased dreaming upon stopping their cannabis use.  I agree with Dr. Kim that you should just go ahead and try pure CBD to see if it affects your dreaming.  Here is some evidence that CBD does not, in fact, disturb the normal sleep cycle https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5895650/   \nOf course, I also want to note that I'm not aware of any adverse health effects attributable to the shortening of REM sleep in regular cannabis users.  There is a potential health consequence of REM deprivation, but no evidence at all that the changes observed with cannabis use in any way constitute 'deprivation.'  For some people (eg PTSD patients) this reduction in dreaming is, in fact, experienced as therapeutic, especially when subjectively compared with their former sleep quality.  \n\ndrelkind","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11732-markdown","title":"i need help sleeping and relaxing","slug":"i-need-help-sleeping-and-relaxing","content":"\n_____________________\nhow best to take CBD / CBN with uther meds like BP meds etc some say wait ahour after you take meds ??\n\nGMAN","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9176-markdown","title":"What strength of cbd and thc is best for Parkinson’s and moderate dementia?","slug":"what-strength-of-cbd-and-thc-is-best-for-parkinson-s-and-moderate-dementia","content":"\"Dad has Parkinson’s and recently was diagnosed with moderate dementia and is aggressive combative.

So I’m guessing he needs a stronger miligrams . Is there a milligrams that can be recommended. Also someone mentioned indica strength is best . I am new to this. Any information is awesome \"\n_____________________\nHello, I can try to help from my experience. My mother has advanced dementia and was very agitated, walking around and falling. She is very calm now with around 180-200 mg of CBD daily divided in smaller doses. i also give her medical cannabis CBD: THC 1:1 in small doses, because THC makes her agitated and combative. I don't know the dose because I have made cannabutter my self so I go by feeling. She is never stoned but very calm. I hope I helped you in some way, if you have any more questions i will be glad to help :)\n\nkanica","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9170-markdown","title":"Is the insomnia tincture still available?

I would look into tinctures that have some (but not too much) CBD, a fair amount of THC, and some CBN ( if available).  This combination of cannabinoids should be helpful for sleep as well\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9129-markdown","title":"Can i get a medical cannabis card for my Anxiety, ADHD, and no sleep in the state of Pennsylvania?","slug":"can-i-get-a-medical-cannabis-card-for-my-anxiety-adhd-and-no-sleep-in-the-state-of-pennsylvania","content":"\"my anxiety is so bad i dont leave my house an my ADHD just makes it 10x worse because im hyper all the time but im to scared to go anywhere.
