Can cannabis help you sleep? Cannabis is lore is convinced that CBD is an effective sleep aid but is there any truth to those claims?
While more research is still needed, initial studies have had promising results; "CBD, the second most abundant cannabinoid found in cannabis, has been shown to have a dual effect on sleep latency. At lower doses, CBD can have a stimulating effect; however, at higher doses, it can have more of a sedating effect. It can increase total sleep time and decrease the frequency of arousals during the night."
When it comes to vapes, terpenes, THC and other minor cannabinoids might also contribute to making cannabis an ideal night cap.
Here are our current favourite weed vapes for sleep!
MM Bonne Nuit CBD/THC/CBN Apothecart
Bonne Nuit (French for “Good Night”) has a soothing and subtle lavender chamomile flavour thanks to its customized terpene profile, which includes myrcene, linalool, b-caryophyllene, and nerolidol which are known for their aroma-therapeutic similarities to lavender and chamomile which are sometimes associated with relaxing and calming properties.
It also contains a high amount of CBD, a small dose of THC, CBN.
According to a review of the current literature by the National Library of Medicine, "preliminary research into cannabis and insomnia suggests that cannabidiol (CBD) may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of insomnia."
Recent studies continue to reinforce CBD's reputation as a sleep aid. According to one clinical trial, "evidence points toward a calming effect for CBD in the central nervous system," and CBD "may hold benefit for anxiety-related disorders."
Additionally, Sleep Foundation found CBN can enhance sleep. The minor cannabinoid has recently been identified by Health Canada as an intoxicating cannabinoid and could potentially bring on drowsiness.
