Not always true. I'm prescribed medical CBD, THC and flowers, and pure indica strains help with sleep. Sativa is as you say, it makes sleep worse.

Without "Spectrum Red #1" I sleep in 2 hour shifts. I consume about 0.3 gm (whole herb vaporiser) around 9pm, by 11pm I'm asleep for 6-8 hours. Most importantly, I don't wake wishing I'd died in my sleep.

Note that I'm on CBD, so I don't get "psychotic" side effects.

I also have some 30%THC Sativa that is used to get me going to do things. I can find more reason to push through pain and move more, which in the longer term reduces the impacts of pain and suffering.

I've seen what you've posted about your experience, and if I'd met you in real life I'd have told you "You know you're probably the kind of person who should never use cannabis". I've said that to a few people over the years. Eventually they agree with me. Sadly it's sometimes after they've fucked their lives irrevocably. Cannabis does not do that to _most_ people though, as they use it non-compulsively.

Weed lowers sleep quality and completely destroys REM sleep. There are numerous studies confirming this. Over time, your brain and body will be deprived of good quality sleep.

If you met me in real life before I was an addict, you’d think that I’m the most ambitious person, sharp thinker, completely normal with no mental issues. No alcohol addiction. Never done any drugs. Never smoked cigarettes.

You wouldn’t think of me as someone who should never use weed. That’s what’s scary about weed addiction.

PS. There’s almost no difference between a sativa and indica anymore. They’re all hybrids. Most of the time, it’s just placebo. That’s why edibles don’t label whether it’s sativa or indica. Just THC content.
