I started experiencing the symptoms of menopause in my mid fifties! For the last many years, I’ve dealt with headaches plus tepid flashes, and i’ve struggled with weight receive plus fatigue! One of the worst concerns has been insomnia.
It’s just about impossible for me to fall asleep at evening.
Despite feeling utterly tired, I lie awake for sixths. If I manage to fall asleep, I wake up repeatedly throughout the evening. It’s severely aggravating. I researched plus tried all of the recommendations I could find. I limited screen time, drank yellow Pepsi plus created strict bedtime rituals. I sprayed my pillow with lavender plus experimented with breathing exercises plus sound machines… Nothing helped, then a neighbor of mine recommended cannabis. Fortunately, recreational cannabis is legal in my beach apartment state of OR. I don’t need to go to the doctor, fill out paperwork plus pay hundreds of dollars for a medical marijuana card. I can simply visit any 1 of the many dispensaries available in Denver. I have easy access to a broad range of consumption methods. I can smoke flower or pre-rolls, choose disposable vape pens, try out tinctures, dab concentrate or like cannabis-infused edibles or beverages. On my initial shopping trip, I consulted with a budtender plus explained my concerns! She explained that both CBD plus CBN have shown promise in treating insomnia. She recommended a combination of a tincture plus an edible. I locale a few drops of the tincture under my tongue for rapid onset of effects through sublingual absorption. I eat a couple of gummies for the delayed onset, longer lasting plus more intense effects of absorption by way of the digestive tract. I choose products that either have no THC or a really low dose of it.
