Best Strains of Weed for Sleep

They say that cannabis is a good way to treat sleep. In fact, it’s the reason why people are now using cannabis for medical purposes. Countries like the United States and Thailand are now legalizing cannabis for medical purposes only. This means that there are a lot of stores that sell cannabis infused foods and beverages. To add on, cannabis cafes and cannabis meals and beverages are on many menus in Thailand today. However, when it comes to cannabis, there are a lot of strains to keep in mind and who knows if all of them will help with sleep. In this article, we are going to find out. 

Before we continue, it is essential to know that the type of strain affects an individual’s sleep. For instance, THC, which is found mostly in sativa strains, helps a person with sleep, however it makes the person eliminate their dreaming process. Therefore, it doesn’t really help with sleep for the long run. On the other hand, CBD, which is mostly found in indica strains, does not contain compounds that make an individual “high”. In contrast to THC, CBD does not have any mind altering effects, which may be more suitable for calming down and relaxing.  

So which strain is best for sleep? Since there are a lot of opinions on which is best for which, it is safe to say that cannabis affects individuals in different ways. However, the suggested way is, surprisingly, to start with strains that have both CBD and THC. This shows that finding the right balance between the individual’s preferred THC and CBD amount is better. Some people may also prefer terpenes which is the compound that makes the plant have the “weed” smell. 

All in all, it depends on the individual towards what type of cannabis strain is good for them if they want proper sleep. As the cannabis industry is growing, there will, hopefully, be more information and more research conducted on this topic.
