> My #1 excuse was always sleep. Weed is the best sleep aid I've ever found. Quitting usually went fine until I wanted to go to bed. Several hours into a sleepless night, desperation sets in.

Weed and alcohol destroy your sleep. Taking marijuana to sleep is like hitting your toenail with a hammer so that when you stop you feel better, it does not make sense.

They're not the same at all. Alcohol wrecks my sleep, but weed has very little negative effect.

I recently stopped after years of using indica strains primarily for sleep. On one hand, I don't feel noticeably more (or less) rested now that I've stopped, but the dreams I have now.. it's kind of incredible how vivid and memorable they are. I'd forgotten what it's like to wake up and just reflect on whatever series of events my subconscious mind constructs.

Weed is an hypnotic and is suppressing your dreams.

Ever had memory problems?
