Medicinal Cannabis for Sleep

Cannabis for Sleep Issues

Many people who have trouble sleeping are turning to medical marijuana for help. The drug does have sedative and relaxing effects. And millions are snapping up CBD products, many of them hoping to reduce their anxiety and improve their sleep.

The evidence, though, is inconclusive. A recent study reported that in 48 patients, their sleep scores improved in the first month by 66.7 percent. Over the long term, though, those scores fluctuated. The investigators recommended more randomized clinical trials to study the relationship between cannabis and sleep.
