I have insomnia and the only thing proven to help me is illegal.?!
Question: I have struggled with insomnia my entire life. I have been to sleep studies after sleep studies. I've been on all the meds, and combination of meds, patches, liquids, powders, pills- nothing has worked. I'm as wide awake as an owl after I ingest them. A friend of mine gave me some marijuana and after one hit, I was out like a light. I've been using this (just one hit at a time) to fall asleep and it's be wonderful for my life. And now, I can't find it. The friend moved away and I haven't slept in a few days.
What would you do?

I don't know where you live, but in some states, you can get medical prescriptions for marijuana. Sounds like you're a good candidate for it. If you live in one of those states, you should talk to your doctor.
Best of luck and sweet dreams,

Move to california!
If you live in a medical marijuana state you can get a prescription.
Otherwise all you can do is grow your own or ask random people if they are holding

If you are in australia you can buy enough to last you about a month (considering your only having one hit to get to sleep) with out getting in alot of trouble. i think the same is for the US..
Enough of that legal stuff now.
you want it to improve your health because the legal meds are not working.
insomnia not treated is worse than smoking a little bit of weed.
just ask someone nicely (that you think smokes but doesn't look like a "druggie") if they can get you some they may even give it to you if you tell them your story.
sleep tight!
Personally, if I were in your situation I would ask around and try to find more.
Using an herb in a therapeutic way should not be considered a crime. I know it is illegal, but the reason you are using it for is totally legit in my book.
Try calling your friend and finding out if she knows somewhere in your area where you can get it. If not, then just ask some other close friends if they know.
Marijuana will probably make it worse in the long run even if it helps now. It works on the GABA receptors in the brain which control sleep so eventually it can cause sleep problems. If you really want to use it though it is not that hard to find just ask around. Otherwise just keep trying different legal things, I'm sure you haven't really tried them all. I suffer from insomnia also and while nothing works completely some meds have helped. Ambien CR and Trazadone have worked out best for me but I get used to them fast so i keep trying different things. Make sure you get enough exercise during the day. Try yoga. Also try staying up all night one night and going to bed at a normal time the next night to reset yourself.
I know how you feel. Even though I give these suggestions I have trouble sleeping every night and it is really hard to deal with. Meds have helped but don't take the problem away. I have also had this for many years. To be honest if pot helped I would probably use it but it doesn't work for me and I have known people it caused insomnia in. If it works do it, just buy it in small amounts and don't carry it on you. Otherwise just keep asking the doctor for whatever is the latest thing and keep trying different things. My newest venture is acupuncture. I'll let you know if it helps the insomnia. Good Luck.
yeah, i'm not sure where you live but i know some clinics around here where you can get a prescription for that.
if you live in an area that it's totally illegal, almost everyone smokes it so i'm sure you could find another hook-up.
p.s. as a daughter of someone who is a total pothead and has been for many many many many years but is now allowed to smoke it legally, i know a little bit about it. just be really careful and remember that your body will build a tolerance to it and it will end up taking more in order to get you to sleep the more you use it.
hey.. why don't you try to use an all natural sleep aid like Sleep So Good cream.. You will be surprised at how quickly and effectively this product works helping support sleep..
