How to use Cannabis for Sleep
When using cannabis to help you sleep, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, the method of ingestion. There are many different options for how to ingest cannabis, including smoking, vaping, tincture, and edibles.
Methods that are smokeless and do not require inhalation might be ideal for some people to prevent coughing or irritation before going to bed, although keep in mind that edibles do take more time to set in than smoked cannabis and thus you may want to take them a little earlier before you plan to go to bed to make sure the effects set in by the time you are trying to sleep. Inhaled forms of cannabis, like smoking, tend to have a faster onset of effects.
If you prefer going for a method of consumption that does not include smoking, we recommend checking out some of our delicious Ryba’s Roots Fudge made in collaboration with Ryba’s Fudge in Mackinac Island.
