Is high CBN cannabutter my ticket to good sleep?

[Grow Tech]

I'm working the night shift these days and sleep has become an even bigger issue than it was before ( I get the mind racing with thoughts type of insomnia). Im considering making canna butter and letting it sit in the crock pot for exxxxtra long trying to convert as much THC to CBN as possible. I'd love to hear from anyone that has experience making edibles specifically for sleep and how you do it. I've made a lot of edibles in my time but never specifically as a sleep aid

I have over decarbed hash oil before, and it definitely made me sleepy...

Thanks sounds promising for us insomnia sufferers. I've noticed older product does help more with sleep, didn't know it was the cbn.

I ran out and I'm collecting enough hash to do another. Each batch takes a stupid amount...50 grams +/-. I got.a bunch of butter that I could cook more to get high CBN going. Just looking for options

I'm not sure if its THC or Cbn that knocks me off, I just know that if I don't have that toke before bed, its 'rock and roll' for me for the next cursed 8 hours or so..

as this is used here as a sedative of regular use, be vary wary of your Tolerance shooting thru the roof (imo)

I'd say cbn should do my self.
Dunno about time decarbing an oil as well as heat though with so much less surface area I'd imagine you get more of an outter cure inward rather than all at once from heat.
Not really seen anything about it but it just makes sense to me.
Shit's better than cbd imo but than that's not as novel as hemp I guess n with thc as a pre curser to cbn ofcourse gov's don't mention it when they can mention using hemp for meds.
But I could be a little biased as good as it works for my neurological issues as well as sleep issues.

lol the curse of needing the real knock out shit eh. lol

good luck with it, cheers,............................................gps

Im going to do.some experimenting with enteric capsules. The hope is that by delaying the onset I'll help with sleep duration. While I normally have trouble falling asleep my biggest issue ATM is sleep duration

I've found that ground bud + leaf cooked into coconut oil lasts longer than capsules made from hash and coconut oil. Something about the plant material makes it take longer to digest and absorb.

I did an experiment making capsules with ground bud + leaf + coconut oil with beeswax one time. The beeswax made it last longer. It was just messy and hard to work with.

I am a light weight when it comes to marijuana, it gives me chest pains. So most types of weed I have to drink alchohol or take some valiums before I get high. Back in the day we sometimes got brown columbian or panama red. They were grown outside and allowed to mature completly I think. For me, I love to grow sensi, but because I cannot tolerate green marijuana I like to let it flower for an extra month or two. Sometime I let the plant die from old age before I smoke the flowers. I did not like tia sticks when they were around way back when. I like red hashish and brown hashish. Some green hash was good but usually not. As to your using marijuana to help insomnia either cook with it or get marijuana that was allowed to mature a few weeks. By smoking weed that has all red hairs and all brown resin glands you will become less psychotic and sleep more after you get high.

capsules may be good, another possibility, is to smoke more when you're awake. whatever thoughts are keeping you awake/waking you up, try getting stoned when you're awake until your attitude about life is more relaxed, so you can sleep.

it sucks having to do everything as remediation, to make up for some shit, when the real good use for weed is for feeling good. do more feeling good, relaxing, being content with what you have and your challenges, make peace with that shit.

"make peace with that shit"
That my friend is some of the most profound advice I've seen ever. I'm not being a smart ass either. I'll be trying to figure out what that means to me...thanks for posting.

Too, insomnia sufferers can benefit from cannabutter made from indica, or indica-heavy hybrids. The deep and long lasting effects of cannabutter work well to help keep the patient asleep through the night.

Hope this helps.

I made what I believe will test out to be some high CBN canna oil. Took 2 mL last night. I def fell asleep pretty easy. I dreamt a lot. Not bad dreams but still more dreams than I'm used to when using temezapam
