[QUOTE="Willyt, post: 182132, member: 38668"] Like many on this forum, I struggle mightily with sleep problems - in my case, the inability to stay asleep throughout the night. A poor night’s sleep often ruins the next day to the point where I often feels like sleep is more important than testosterone. I have tried numerous sleep drugs, supplements and home remedies. The only consistently reliable solution has been Ambien, but I find that there is major rebound effect - i.e., my sleep is even worse when I stop taking it. [B]The Concept Behind 1:1 Ratio of CBD:THC[/B] I have been experimenting for several months with marijuana edibles containing a 1:1 ratio of CBD to THC and have been having some success. It was a pleasant surprise. Although I always loved the smell of raw weed, I never liked the high that came along with it, preferring booze instead. However, the addition of CBD apparently mellows out the flightier high of THC, hence the 1:1 ratio. [I]“A 1:1 dose of CBD:THC can induce a state of mind where you feel really good, but without too many racing thoughts or jittery impulses.
