Colorado! A patient/friend of mine that i gift extra product to has extreme insomnia!

What is a cannabis knockout recipe/concoction?

i feel bad for him, he is about to lose his job because of it, and they are trying pills (bastards) to help him,

What is a cannabis knockout recipe/concoction he can use with a routine to generate an actual sleeping habit?

Any help would be great!

Chewberto - I have used my tincture recipe with a heavy indica to help with insomnia. I also recommend melatonin. You can get it at health food stores. It is not as effective as ambien but it also doesn't have the side effects.

Best of luck to your friend!

I use 12-15mg of melatonin a night. Without it I can't sleep. With it I can fall asleep quickly sometimes even with the lights still on.

Melatonin, interesting how our body creates more under certain light spectrum, i will do a bit more reading into it!

That probably explains why Melatonin didn't work for me... I only took 1 3G pill... And I'm a big guy. Ambien quit working for me, I miss that 8hours of sleeping like the dead. I'm going to try the Melantonin again tonight.

Thanks for starting the thread chewberto, good stuff.

LoL, strong indicas and bong hits when i wake up in the night is my sleep meds.
I would look into making some of Meds tincture for him, doesn't take a lot of dry sift, and will give you a good idea of the results.

I have been told (Coconut Cannabis Capsules) worked good for sleep. I haven't tried it, usually smoking works for me.

just smoking heavy indies doesn't work, i started him on wax topped bong tokes at night before he tries to sleep, it only helped a little, but not good enough and also i try to give him only heavy indicas.

What about this, you give him some sativas for the days, help get him up and going. And then the indicas for night to help put him the hell out.
Edibles work differently than smoking also, and can certainly make it easier to accomplish a full nights sleep (longer lasting effects can make for longer lasting sleep). We could give you a dozen recipes, but i really think that the tincture would be the easiest way to test this out. It is a very easy substance to take, very effective, and super easy to dose.
I am very willing to throw down the trim or dry sift to accomplish a batch if needed, hell i would make it for you if it really came to that. Let us know what we can do to help, i know medshed is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, and will help with this project in any way he can also. We have a lot of resources around here, and beyond, so just tell us what you are thinking to help him and we will get on it asap.

Exactly I have done the daytime sativa for him since he doesn't sleep anyway to help him with work and daily activities but ultimately i think minimizing daily thc intake to allow for nighttime effects might be what ends up happening..for now i was thinking of doubling medsheds recipe with heavy indica hash and having him try that....

I appreciate the extended hand, for now i think i can cover the cost of testing hopefully and would be reluctant to ask for resources because im far from you guys well 5 hours far, but happy to know the offer is there if i am in the area!

I worry this kid is only 21 and has suicidal thoughts and i don't want him on those govt drugs, he is a true musical genius and has a lot going for him that he needs to be reminded of, he is totally stressed out with no sleep and work, so i worry he might just get tired of it completely you know? suffice to say i check on him a lot!
I have had a lot of friends in the past off themselves that were on prescription drugs and i refuse to see it happen again, so im gonna keep him happy with the herb as it helps more than anything ever could, so i know there is a cure with cannabis for this dude! thanks again

Thanks again true I think I will start with the tincture! We will See how that works out? Any other ideas are always welcome! Something to shut off the mind thoughts would help too, if there are any strains anyone can recall that give you that brain dead feeling! Lotta stuff running through his head apparently!

The never stopping thoughts will never cease. I suffer from this myself, and have to avoid a lot of sativas for that reason.
A direction for the thoughts is always my best remedy, my garden is great for this, esp now that work has slowed. A good, deep book that really takes your whole mind to get into is a good one for me personally, i can barely make it through a chapter or two before i feel braindead from my current book, well one of my current books.
