Finding your ideal cannabis strain to treat insomnia sometimes takes a little experimenting . Your body may react differently to a particular cannabis strain than someone else ’ s . If you don ’ t find success with your first strain , experiment with other options and smaller doses .
Side Effects of Cannabis for Insomnia
Cannabis can cause a significant improvement in your insomnia , but it ’ s important to fully understand potential side effects . The side effects are often mild when compared with traditional medications . Once the cannabis exits your body , those side effects disappear , so they are not long-lasting . A good thing !
Some of the potential effects of using cannabis include :
● A “ high ” feeling often described as euphoria , which is often more prominent in strains that are high in THC .
● Increased hunger .
● Sleepiness , which is the desired effect when you are dealing with insomnia .
● Red eyes .
● Dry mouth .
In comparison , prescription sleeping pills are known to carry a high risk of dependency . With research into medical cannabis becoming more prevalent and legally viable by the day , insomnia patients will soon have even more reasons to avoid pharmacological remedies .
