Hello,
I have insomnia and stress like no other. I can go into some of the reasons for this, all would be speculation. Regardless of why, I have insomnia and stress. I will lightly sleep maybe 2 hours per night, it drives me CRAZY. I become very irritable with adds to the stress and I think adds to the Insomnia.
Now I know a lot of people push the marijuana is medicine bs to get high, I personally don't really care how some one chooses to get high/inebriated I think it should be their choice.
I have already gone to the doctor about this years ago when I was a teenager. I have tried Ambien, anatriptolin, trezedone, none of which did anything for me and two out of three I had side affects. My body DOES NOT LIKE PILLS. This goes for over the counter, I have only used ibiprofen a few times in my life and that was for extreme head aches, but that is rare.
I found marijuana when I was in high school, I did use it and have used both medicinally and recreationally (LOL Yahoo spell check is horrible, it doesn't recognize recreationally as a word).
I'm realizing now more than ever I really need this as a medicine for a sleep aid and to help with stress. I've found that if I have just a few "hits" at night from high grade marijuana, I sleep like a baby and my stress is reduced to the point that I feel it is manageable.
I don't have to be "high" to deal with my problems, my body has such a reaction from stress that I literally find it almost impossible to compose my self when I hit my breaking point.
Even the next day I'm fine, when night time rolls around is when the stress and insomnia will start to set in.
I exercise every day, I am a long distance runner. I take relatively good care of my self and have tried every over the counter known to man, I need to find a way to legalize marijuana for medicinal use in Utah. Or should I go to my local doctor and have him prescribe an APPROVED drug, like Ambien that can give me seizures....the drug laws that ban marijuana are completely and utterly HORSE ****. If someone can help me figure out a way to combat this it would be much appreciated.
