I tried Solei CBD for sleeping . I started with a low dose and increased the dosage as I didn't find it effective. I'm now trying Solei THC and not finding it effective either. I've increased the dosage but not sure what is the maximum amount I should take. I've been to the dispensary 3 times speaking to a different staff person each time and received differing advise each time. I just want a full nights sleep and not wake up during the night. Would appreciate hearing from others that have had success.

Everyone reacts differently to thc and cbd. Things that you have to consider is age weight gender than any other medical conditions and medications that will effect the way it works. Also oil verses flower

Any recommendation which dispensary has knowleable staff?

Is my favourite. I take the 1 dropper of oil with the highest level of cbd and I’m out for the night in 20 minutes. My husband takes the pill form and they don’t work quite as fast

Does the cbd oil you take have THC in it?

But very little. It’s 23% cbd and 1.6 thc. It doesn’t impair me at all. I started with a higher thc and it was too much and I didn’t like the stoned feeling.

I work shift work so my sleep schedule is different every week. I take a full dropper once a day, about 15-20 minutes before I want to sleep. It took about a week or two to start working.

What’s that?

Does anyone know where to get a prescription for CBD oil?

It’s not worth it really the oils you would buy with your pres:cription are about 3x the cost of what you would pay at the dispensary. The quality isn’t much different either

Does the oil you take have a brand name? Just so I know what to look for when I go to Tweed. Also, can you double check the cbd & thc portions - you have 23% cbd & 1.6 thc - did you mean mg/ml?

I used to have insomnia from working night shifts.  
I took Sleep Eeze (spelling?)} It's a purple box with sleep aides from Shoppers Drug Mart which is probably better than cannibas. Be careful though I took 2 on a back to back shift and over slept half an hour and was late for work.

Personally I dont think CBD oil does much, THC makes me sleepy though. The spray bottles are convenient. I find 10 sprays or about 25mg of thc is enough. Stuff like sleep eze or benadryl is a bit cheaper but it's not considered safe for long term use

mine is called Sync 25 from Tweed. Yes it’s THC 1.6mg/ml so not even close to making me impaired and 23.4 mg/ml of CBD. It is just enough to take the edge off enough that I can relax and sleep. I didn’t want to be stoned or unable to drive.

I find this entertaining, like reading the comics in the paper with my morning coffee. Keep it up.

Thank you for the responses. It's much appreciated.

Go see Rick at Growers for advice on getting a pres:cription. One thing about having a pres:cription is you can claim it on your income tax

....is too important to leave it to CBD. CBD is not the panacea that it is made out to be. It does show promise for anxiety and maybe pain relief but for sleeping I would not recommend it.  
 
Of course you should talk to your doctor before starting any "medicine" but if you are reluctant to do that I would recommend one of the sprays mentioned up stream. They offer the convenience of both ease of use and micro dosing so that you are more able to dial in your needed level. I would further recommend you start with an indica strain as it is typically more suited to relaxing.  
 
A few things to keep in mind. While it is likely to help in falling asleep it is not guaranteed to give you a full nights sleep or good quality sleep. Also, because you are ingesting it as opposed to smoking the effects can exceed your desired rest time. Also MPIC recommends you do not drive for 12 hours after ingesting.  
 
I would also advise you call to the various dispensaries or check their online inventory for price comparison. Delta 9 often has the lowest prices though on some items others are better.  
 
Finally, I would remind you that the dispensaries are recreational in nature and regardless of how knowledgeable the staff may or may not seem, their advise, almost entirely based on anecdotal evidence, should not be taken as medically sound. You really should seek advise from a medical professional.  
 
Regards and good luck

Hey im on pres:cription cannabis and something i didn't see anyone mention is the difference between sativa and indica thc most people find that with a sativa thc it gives them energy where with indica they get that tired sleepy mellow feeling so you will want a indica thc to help knock you out for the night as well as your cbd and as for company to go through for a pres:cription I use https://apollocannabis.ca/ and then spectrum for filling my pres:cription they have good prices

Google answer. If you had first hand knowledge you probably would not have posted as you did. Just my opinion which is based off first hand experience.

....are you going on about? What do you consider first hand knowledge? Have I used any of the products I am speaking about? Yes  
 
Have I worked in the industry for any length of time? Yes  
 
Have you got anything of value to add to the conversation? I suspect not.

Love how the “old” generation has eyes wide open on topics such as cannabis and people using it. Keep guzzling back your liquor and popping pres:cription pills.. you’re opinions are outdated and obsolete

Can a person get a prescription through apollo cannibas online? I thought a person had to get a prescription from their medical doctor?

If you go to the Tweed website click on the medical link. Follow the prompts to get registered and you can speak to a doctor, for free, and he/she will qualify you for age need etc. I have referred a few people to Tweed's Argyle Spray that is metered at 2.5mg THC and 3mg CBD. 1 or 2 sprays seems to help many people with a good nights sleep.  
 
Argyle is an Indica based product, which is usually recommended for relaxation and sleep.  
 
Unfortunately Argyle Spray is getting very difficult to find in the retail market and it would be best to consult a doctor to get access to the medical market.

Maybe it's my ignorance showing, but if you had to take it for a couple of weeks before it started working, are you sure it's the oil that did it? Could it maybe be more a case of you've developed new habits surrounding the intake of the CDB (also, the *belief* that it will help) that would facilitate falling asleep?  
 
My understanding is that the half-life of CBD is not well measured and highly variable, from as little as 18 hours to as much as 7 days. At the high end of the spectrum, yes it would take time for the accumulation of the drug to impact you but at the low end there shouldn't be much accumulation.

I didn’t start the CBD oil for sleep issues. I started it for pain and inflammation issues. I noticed a small improvement within days but as it built in my system the improvements were more noticeable. It was after a few weeks that I realized it has greatly affected my sleeping. I recently travelled for work and left it at home. I was ok for 2 days but after that my body started hurting again and I was having issues staying asleep. So for me, yes it works best when I take it regularly and it’s built up in my system. Your experience may be different.

I’ve tried Argyle, Bakerstreet, and now Sunset. I’m falling asleep ok but I’m waking during the night and having a hard time falling back to sleep . Just wondering what other types people are having success with for sleeping?

Keep in mind that what works for some doesn't necessarily work for all: but narrowing down what effects you are looking for is a great start.

Going to the gym for an hour per day can help.

If you stop at the CBD store on the way home...
