A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

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
THC has been a tremendous help. I just fall asleep in seconds. It has helped me to fall into deep sleep for the first time in a very long time. Alcohol was terrible
The Sleep Foundation has a lot to say about that. Seems relatively positive.
Sativa is what I do. I've had insomnia my whole life. I basically never go into deep sleep. My sleep has always been light and messy until I met THC. I now sleep like a baby. My mental health has improved a ton (the magic of sleeping well 😁). All positive so far. I haven't had a single negative. I exclusively smoke it before bed time and only one single hit out of my pen, no more no less and ONLY before bed time.
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'm so glad it is working out for him. Mine isn't PTSD luckily, but just me.
Probably yours too because he is so much better.
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.
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.
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.
Totally get it. Hope you find something that works for you.
Thanks internet friend!
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.
EZ, you just feel physically horrible 100% of the time that you're not drunk.
