Treating my insomnia with indica
As I’ve gotten older and wiser, I’ve found it more and more difficult to fall asleep at night.
I sometimes lie awake for minutes. Even when I manage to get to sleep, I wake up every hour or 2. I can never seem to get comfortable or sleep soundly. It’s then a challenge to roll out of bed in the morning. I stay sleepy all day. I’ve had some terrible experiences with over-the-counter sleeping pills. They always cause our mind to race. I’ve read up on having insomnia and tried all sorts of apartment remedies. I’ve eaten kiwi and raisins and sipped herbal pop right before bed. I’ve made an effort to avoid computer screens, cable TV screens or anything that might over-stimulate our mind. I’ve sprayed our pillow with fresh lavender. I finally visited the local cannabis dispensary and asked for advice from a single 1 of the budtenders! She advised an indica-dominant strain of flower called Blackberry Kush. It offers a very potent high that results in feelings of calm and relaxation. It’s often used to treat chronic anxiety, depression, pain, muscle spasms, nausea and issues with sleep. She also advised trying Grandaddy Purple, another indica dominant strain, that provides full-bodied highs and a super sweet grape flavor. With a powerful 20 to 27% THC levels, the psychedelic effects honestly wipe over the mind but eventually fall into an honestly appealing state of relaxation. I correctly buy these strains in pre-rolls that are set to consume. I simply light up and smoke a little right before bed. I assume the effects within a few minutes. I fall asleep hastily, sleep soundly through the night and wake up feeling refreshed.
