Do cannabis edibles help with sleep?
Cannabis edibles contain THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive compound in cannabis. It interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system to create deeply relaxing effects that may help people wind down in preparation for sleep. Some research suggests THC can promote drowsiness and make it easier to fall asleep, but individual responses can vary and both dosing and timing are important. Other research shows that long-term cannabis use can impair sleep quality. If you’re dealing with sleep issues, speak with your doctor.
