Cannabis For Sleep: What You’re Doing Wrong

You’re probably one of the 1 in 3 Americans that don’t get enough sleep. And for plenty of people with chronic pain, even getting 8 hours of sleep doesn’t help us feel refreshed when we wake up. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was some silver bullet for crushing insomnia?⁣
⁣
You might have heard cannabis can help with sleep. But how? Most people think they can just eat a 25 mg pot brownie and fall easily asleep. That’s the equivalent of drinking a bottle of wine and passing out. While you might get to sleep, will you stay asleep? And will that be a deep, restorative sleep?⁣
⁣
Cannabis for sleep can be tricky. You probably don’t know that there are different cannabinoids for sleep. It’s not just THC. There’s CBD and CBN. And then there’s terpenes like linalool or myrcene that can help you get to sleep and stay asleep.⁣

Ladykind Wind Down CBD Tincture for sleep

This is what I use daily to get to sleep. There’s more than CBD in Ladykind’s Wind Down Nightly Mind Relaxing Tincture, and it helps with both sleep and hormone balance for women. It contains another cannabinoid cannabinol (CBN), valerian root, and melatonin. Other ingredients that rounds out this one-of-a-kind formula include magnesium, black cohosh, holy basil, panax ginseng, ashwagandha, and maca root.

Use code INFUSED15 for 15% off at ladykind.com

Here’s what why the ingredients in Ladykind Wind Down are amazing for relaxation, sleep, and even nighttime pain relief:

  • CBN – cannabinol, a rare phytocannabinoid that may promote sleep, reduce pain, and lower inflammation levels.
  • Valerian Root – an herb used to relax muscles, reduce anxiety, and promote sleep. It may also have benefits for women with menstrual cramps, PMS, or hot flashes from menopause.
  • Melatonin – a hormone produced by the pineal gland at night to induce sleep. It may also help with anxiety.
  • Black Cohosh – an herb with similar effects as estrogen, often used for menopause, PMS, and painful periods.
  • Holy Basil – an adaptogen that helps reduce stress and anxiety.
  • Panax Ginseng – an Asian herb that may improve sleep and mood issues in menopausal women.
  • Magnesium – a vital mineral involved in over 300 body processes, including sleep and mood.
  • Ashwagandha -an adaptogen that promotes sleep and reduces anxiety in people under high stress.
  • Maca Root – this superfood native to Peru can promote relaxation and even reduce symptoms of menopause like hot flashes and night sweats.
  • MCT Oil – medium chain triglycerides (MCT) come from coconut oil and have many health benefits, including reducing inflammation and improving gut health.

Don’t like CBD oil? Try FOCL CBD capsules for sleep that contain CBD and other ingredients that boost sleep like GABA, 5-HTP, lemon balm extract, melatonin, valerian root, and passion flower extract.

How cannabis works for sleep depends on these five things:⁣

-Route of administration⁣
-Timing before sleep⁣
-Dosage of cannabinoids⁣
-Presence of other terpenes or supplements that support sleep⁣
-Any other medications you’re taking⁣

What route of administration you choose determines when you should take your cannabis product. Smoking cannabis or using drops can cause the cannabinoids to enter your bloodstream instantly, making them a good choice to use right before bed. Because edibles aren’t processed by your body for 30 minutes to an hour after consuming, you want to take them as your winding down for the night, rather than tossing and turning in bed for 30 minutes before it kicks in.⁣
⁣
Did you know that CBD can interact with many medications? CBD can inhibit liver enzymes that break down the majority of medications. If you’re taking one of those drugs with CBD, you could end up asleep faster or slower than you want, or you might have unwanted side effects like nausea or headache. CBD isn’t simple when you’re a patient with chronic illness.⁣

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄 ⁣ Which is you Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄
⁣
Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.
Want to learn more, including what many of these terms mean? Check out my books (including Vitamin Weed) & courses via the link in my bio.

At least in Nevada under the Board of Pharmacy... At least in Nevada under the Board of Pharmacy...
This is a huge victory, especially for POC in Nevada who were unfairly targeted by police and arrested due to this legal loophole despite legalization of this plant.
The ACLU sued the Nevada Pharmacy Board & won the case. An additional judgement on whether or not the board should regulate the plant at all any more is coming in future weeks.
Still waiting for @Potus to legalize on the Federal level. What are we waiting for?
