I used to use indica to sleep, due to absurd levels of restless leg that only kick in as soon as I lie down. Then a physician friend recommended trazodone.

I really enjoyed being able to dream again. I hadn't quite noticed that I had basically entirely stopped dreaming when using pot. And mostly, I like being able to smoke purely recreationally and sporadically, not relying on it medicinally and regularly.

This is a VERY important topic of research that many users aren't aware of. Legalize for more research and better harnessing of this drug.

Many strains of Cannabis inhibit REM sleep.

Some do not, for some physiologies.

Blue Dream does not block my REM.

Interestingly, a small amount (2 shots or less) of alcohol will accelerate REM.

Blue Dream is a wonderful strain. I am (was) a sucker for Haze cultivars. There tends to be Haze in a lot of CBD strains.

I live in Canada and we have legalization rocking already, a friend of mine works at a licensed producer, their sole focus is terpenes, the India vs Sativa and THC % is more marketing vs truth at this point. Wonder if the terps would unlock more reality into your points.
