It's interesting to see the opinions of the ppl who read this, and felt the need to respond. I've been an insomniac ever since I could remember. Options (good ones) are fairly limited. People who don't have severe sleeping problems typically tell me to eat healthy and exercise daily, and I should have an easier time sleeping. Well i work 50 hours a week, lift weights and run 5 days a week, and am the pickiest eater I know. In no way am I complaining about any of that either, I love my life, my wife, my step-son, I just can't seem to drift off into lala land without a solid 3 hours of laying calmly in my bed, and typically never make it to sleep without some sort of 'medication'. My other option is to try prescription medications such as sedatives, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and nonbenzodiazepines, which have become very common recently (and are even abused by many people.) All of which have moderate to severe side effects, and most of which cause the user to become dependent. I've tried almost a dozen of various prescriptions myself, some with minor success and others with very adverse side effects. But none of which work consistently every night. Pot has been my salvation(for sleep). I vaporize every night before bed, and wake up in the morning feeling fresh and renewed, something that none of the prescription drugs offered me. I smoke weed maybe a few times a year other then that. So I have a very minor amount of THC sticking to my membrane walls, call me a "Drugy" or whatever you want, but I would bet I live a much healthier live then the majority of people/'straight edges' and I don't have to spend my time looking down on others to make myself feel better about my life, something I've experienced from a variety of people just b/c i smoke. These are my opinions, and this is my perspective of course, but if we all tried a little bit harder to see life through the eyes of others, and less time judging and being ignorant of others, I think there would be a lot more happiness and love in this would. Who honestly wouldn't mind that?
