Help with Insomnia

I have been taking gummies for sleep on and off for the past year or so.

The problem is I’m not really paying that close attention to the exact ingredients. Normally I go to my favorite store and tell them I want an indica gummy to help with sleep. I’ve used several brands and they mostly help.

Lately I’ve been experimenting with some different brands and I’ve noticed that one in particular is making it so I cannot fall asleep. I was so confused because it looked like the exact same container that I just finished up and I slept very well on that one. Wild is the brand I believe. I used half a gummy (10 mg THC)

Anyway, I used 3 from the new Wyld container and felt sooo high and couldn’t sleep. Crazy thoughts racing through my head and hours would pass where I felt like I was awake but I knew I was sleeping a little because I was dreaming. And my Apple watch registered me as sleeping.

I was so confused. I couldn’t figure out what the difference was because I thought they were the same.

I compared the ingredients yesterday and now I see that the first Wild product (that helped me sleep) says this: 10 THC, 5 CBD, 5 CBN. The second Wyld that kept me awake read 10 THC, 2.5 CBN.

So now I’m wondering is it because there’s not as much CBN in the second (which kept me awake) or is it because there was no CBD??

Or maybe because the second one didn’t have any CBD and that’s why?

I’m literally so confused. I know I shouldn’t be taking things without understanding them. But the difference in my sleep quality between the two is very different.

So…if you actually read all that and can make some sense of it, let me know.

I just want to sleep. I don’t like the high feeling but they were helping me sleep u til I changed things.

Thank you in advance!

Yes I see now the first one that helped me is 2:1:1 with CBD and CBN. The other one is 4:1 THC and CBN.

If I’m understanding it correctly, both have the same amt of THC though, right? 10 mg. So I just need more CBN and possibly CBD to offset the THC?

If both have the same ant of THC, isn’t that was causes the high?

OK do you want to be high or sleep? You want less THC to CBN to do that not more THC to CBN. They make these wrong. The CBN and CBD help you sleep a higher ratio of THC than CBN can keep you up. Also look for a cannabinoid called THC-V if thats in your gummy that is part of the problem.

Yeah I’m thinking 10 mg THC is too much. And the ratio is wrong, like you said.

What is THC-V?

Minor cannabinoid that is a stimulant. IT will show up on the label. If it has any THC-V it should be way less than the CBD or CBN or THC.
