weed is a stimulant...while it may make people more relaxed it does make the mind more active. I work the graveyard shift and try to keep a family together so I usually am so exausted that I sleep fairly well for the 4 hours I tend to get daily.

Wrong, weed isn't purely a stimulant. In fact the general chemical make up of cannabis generally classify it as a stimulant, depressant, and hallucinogen.

thus the statement weed is a stimulant is correct.....where was I wrong?

In saying it was only a stimulant, thus waking you up and have different effects on other people.
Cannabis actually comes in different "breeds", some have more THC and some have more CBD. THC generally gives the "chill" effect, the more of it, the more you are generally being "depressed" chemically. The more CBD, the more it acts a stimulant. THC also provides the hallucinogenic effects as well.

I understand what you posted as well as the effects of it as an intoxicant. I posted what information I felt relavent to the topic. Meanwhile you have made an attempt to express your collection of vainfull knowledge. Now reread and tell me where exactly I posted that weed is only a stimulant.

You pretty much said that weed as a single shot effect that effects people differently because of their bodies, not the chemical ratio.
You only stated it was a stimulant along with that.

I just hate when pot evangelists say it is a magic cure for everything. Shit, I smoked many forms and breeds of cannabis over the years, but I'm not like... FREAK! OMFG! POT! SMOKE POT! NOW! SLEEP!

dude seriously now you are wrong to assume anything. I don't even smoke now, nor did my statement indicate......"FREAK! OMFG! POT! SMOKE POT! NOW! SLEEP!" because I mentioned only one adjective does not imply only that one applies to it. just QFT

Sorry, I over reacted. There have been a lot of weed evangelists joining on forums I used to really enjoy and they are beginning to get on my nerves.

I lol'd. Haha

Try reading up on inducing out of body experiences (OBE). When I do it, it clears my mind and I just pass out most of the time.

Stop time monitoring. The worst possible habit if you're trying to get to sleep quickly.

[pyke]

Be away from the computer like 30-60 minutes prior to trying to sleep.

[Cyo]

Close your eyes, imagine you're at a beach with some hotties and wank yourself to sleep.

Please don't look at me as on of the 'Weed evagelists' *pokes siggy*. You will never have to worry about me arguing over what pot does. I already know every up and down side to marijuana. I saw your post last night and did not even bother to try and correct you, because I knew you were correct on the fact that weed is a stimulant. Yes, many different drugs have different adverse affects (they give hyper{ADD} kids stimulants all the time to correct their problem). I'm just glad that pot isn't one of those like you see on t.v. that causes anal seepage, diabetes, and occasionally death... I brought this up because I just left another website (rhymes with 'hot fog')for getting flamed for my views and opinions expressed in my signature by immature little fucks that can't even type a sentence correctly. I understand why you would be irritated, because alot of people that do smoke pot ARE complete idiots- but the thing is, they were complete idiots BEFORE they started smoking pot, or burnt their brains out on another form of drug. Please don't compare me to one of them. Alright that's my 2 cents, just didn't want you to veiw me as a bad person because I might mention pot (usually as a joke as I do not condone any drug use by minors) occasionally.

I know a few things that may help but everyone is different:

1. Warm milk ( yes even for adults even though its gross has been proven to do something to help sleep)
2. Activty & fresh air ... in other words a nice long walk tends to help me
3. Wear yourself out druing the day with tons of activity
4. Sex!
5. Sleeping pills... although can be adictive over the counter sleeping pills tend to work but make sure that you can spend at least 8 hours for sleep or you tend to be a little cranky and out of it
6. Weed helps some people but not all, It use to help me for a while but soon stopped.
7. Get bored! Just do nothing for a while and bore youself to sleep
8. Turkey (for males) have been proven to make men tired... but not too many people have a turkey cooking all year round XD
9.(from 380 ways to freak out your roomate) 58. Whenever you go to sleep, start jumping on your bed . . . do so for a while, then jump really high and act like you hit your head on the ceiling. Crumple onto your bed and fake like you were knocked out . . . use this method to fall asleep every night for a month..... (Don't pretend just do it XD)

Like I said, I smoked it for two years, I'm still the bright guy everyone remembers. Never said all pot heads are dumb asses.
I don't care if people mention marijuana.
Just if they go around saying that it is some miracle cure for everything and it should be legalized... though their only true reason is because they don't want to get busted for recreational use. I wasn't even thinking of you, in fact I was more speaking from my experiences in another graphics forum I contribute to, sadly I brought it to this board.

Can I ask you to notice in my last post that I WAS NOT ARGUING. I was agreeing with him.

I did. I guess I didn't read CDXX's post. Your tone just sounded argumentative.

[Twilight]

maybe you should go back to bed, instead of the codex

[philywilly]

Need to wake up at 6:30 though

Weed doesn't do this to you, does it?

Weed *may* cause insomnia only if you quit after using regularly for a long period of time.. other than that, nope.

[Shadiel]

Hug a big guy named Bob.

Make sure he has bitch-tits.

[simplicity]

I'm sure those chemicals and formuals have a huge role to play in getting to sleep but i reccomend just kicken back, read a book, maybe bump some easy listening tunes, (ie: Lionel RItchie, MIcheal Buble, or maybe motion city soundtrack) and just think relaxed.
Not as intellegent as what everyone else says but being relaxed is key IMO.


LMFAO shadiel, I guess theres always that.

I can;t still til it's past midnight
and I have to wake up at 5ish
=/

sometimes I just eat and head to bed, or I read while laying down...using the lights from outside though.

Still, it sucks being in bed for like 3 hours waiting to sleep, maybe methinks too much.
