I've suffered from depression, and random crap like insomania. For years, I'd rely on the doctor and follow the medications. These just made my life and sleep much worse.
Then one day, I ate a cookie that had been cooked with marijuana. Suffice to say, I slept a lovely 8 hour sleep that night - and the greatest thing? I've only ever had to use marijuana a _few_ times in the last 3 or so years. So, it seems to work long-term...
I've figured it's probably better for my health to stop switching weird medications every 3 months, and have a brownie every now and again.
Interesting has there been any research done into this application. I have friends who have a little bit and just fall asleep (am not sure the effect on myself as I can't smoke and no one has ever offered me a hash cookie/brownie).

You mean using marijuana to treat insomnia (or sleep disorders in general)? Quite a lot, actually - marijuana is one of the most studied drugs in existence, and its effects on sleep disorders have been documented thoroughly. It depends on the state, but some of the states with medical marijuana laws accept sleep disorders as a valid use.
Yeah, I think this is fairly common but mostly not emphasized in the current debate because it's not as politically sympathetic a position: terminally ill patients using marijuana to reduce nausea make better example cases.

I'm a much healther and happier person by far.
