Yep, I hear ya and mostly agree, that’s why I made the point about ambien. Not trying to sound like a Nancy Reagan or anything. I was just trying to caution against self-medication, because it’s not uncommon for people to not realize that there are other factors affecting their sleep health. It might be the case that MJ actually also ends up being a good treatment for those things as well, which is awesome, but it also can go the other way, and it becomes a mask/crutch etc. Just advocating for people to investigate the causes of their insomnia and think critically about whether or not a psychoactive solution is appropriate for them, possibly in conjunction with a doctor or therapist and if not then at least with some form of accountability if necessary, like a friend etc.

MJ works for a lot of people and is, generally speaking, perfectly safe. For some people it’s not appropriate, and I think that’s at least worth highlighting.
