Cannabis Recommendations for Insomnia
If we had to list the top five conditions that motivate our medical patients to seek cannabis therapy, it would have to include insomnia. Insomnia is a sleep disorder in which you have trouble fall or staying asleep.
No matter what the cause of the sleep problem, whether its insomnia or another condition causing it, cannabis has been proven to be an effective remedy for insomnia for a variety of patient demographics. If you’ve been experiencing sleep problems, we invite you to give cannabis a try in consultation with your physician and to visit Strains Dispensary Perris for cannabis relief.
Cannabis Strains Popular for Treating Insomnia
Treating insomnia is complicated because insomnia can stand alone as an ailment or can be a secondary symptom caused by a primary condition such as pain or cancer. No matter what the cause, edibles are quite popular because they usually cause a longer-lasting effect that helps clients sleep for longer than smoking flower or vaping. Here are a few examples of excellent strains for treating insomnia, including products that we have in stock:
- Tahoe OG – a godsend for insomniacs, carrying a more substantial effect than traditional OG Kush, smoking flower, vaporizer cartridges, and edibles with Tahoe OG is often recommended and preferred by our repeat clients.
- Purple – having Purple in the strain’s name is a telltale sign of good sleep as these genetics carry a hefty THC punch. Granddaddy Purple and Purple Punch are featured in many of our products commonly purchased to treat insomnia, including flowers and concentrates.
Cannabinoids & Sleep Research
Before we get to the scholarly research, anecdotal reports from our clients prove to us that cannabis can be beneficial for treating insomnia. With a significant portion of our clients wanting help with sleep due to insomnia or from another condition causing poor sleep, our knowledgeable budtenders already have sufficient proof to recommend cannabis for treating insomnia. However, since we inform our recommendations with solid research, we know that a current study by Sznitman (2020) has shown that medical cannabis can reduce episodes of waking up at night and increases staying asleep. Selecting the right cannabis product for treating your insomnia comes down to individual preference, consultation with medical professionals, and some trial and error in finding the right product for you.
