Medical marijuana patients in Ohio have seen significant improvement in their sleep patterns due to the use of cannabis. Some patients even wonder about the effects it has on dreaming. There have been several studies done on cannabis and dreaming, and of course the benefits it has on helping patients set in for a restful night's sleep.
Did you know that THC can sometimes decrease the amount of REM sleep? Scientists say this can be a good or bad thing. Research is being conducted to rule out which cannabinoids are responsible for users experiencing less time in this stage of sleep. Cannabis users and non-cannabis users alike reported the same about of bizarre dreams. CBD has a different reaction than THC dominant cannabis products. The research reported that people who use CBD dominant cannabis products reported they spent more time in REM sleep and experienced more positive or lucid dreams. This is a major benefit to patients who suffer from conditions such as PTSD, who may experience bad dreams or even nightmares due to trauma.
If you are purchasing medical marijuana to help aid a restful night's sleep, scientists recommend consuming a lower dose before bedtime to ensure you do not suppress your REM sleep. A light dose of THC can float you to sleep, but larger doses can worsen anxiety in some consumers. It is also extremely important when choosing a strain to focus on Indica dominant strains or edibles if you are looking for something to help you fall asleep and stay asleep. Though inhaling cannabis yields faster effects, edibles tend to last a lot longer. Listed below you can find popular strains available at Ohio dispensaries to aid your next slumber!
