My husband has PTSD induced insomnia. THC has helped him IMMENSELY with both the sleep and the nightmares. He used to take several heavy prescription drugs, but now he only uses cannabis. It’s made a huge difference in his quality of life.
I didn’t want to say so, but this is true! Of course, I’m so happy for him most of all, but he’s also so much more approachable when he’s getting enough sleep and when his PTSD isn’t kicking in.
I dunno what to say. I have constant intrusive thoughts, an incessant inner monologue, constant over analysis, and have terrible dreams. All I can say is that I use oil or edibles every night and it helps me sleep and keeps the dreams to an absolute minimum. I don’t use much, and I don’t smoke, and I’m also in Canada and only use what I buy from legal shops.
I’m glad you found something that works for you. Lots of people have positive experiences with THC, but it effects me very differently. Alcohol was my jam until I started abusing it too regularly, so I quit.
For me, alcohol makes the stuff in the OP 1000x worse. I guess I’m doing it wrong because in not drinking until I literally black out, but idk how I’m supposed to do that and hold down a job.
The brain story telling again…
I guess that’s why we have alcohol, but it’s such a shitty drug
Edit: Holy shit, I didn’t realise I’d start this… Good to hear folks sharing what works

The Sleep Foundation has a lot to say about that. Seems relatively positive.

Probably yours too because he is so much better.

THC def better, but if I really need sleep the combo of the two is best. Just have to be careful with timing and amounts. THC keeps the dreams away.
Oh hell no! THC causes me to dive deep down a hole of over analysis.

Totally get it. Hope you find something that works for you.

EZ, you just feel physically horrible 100% of the time that you’re not drunk.
