Is it normal that i can't sleep unless i smoke weed?

I have a big problem with my sleeping. If I'm not high I always seem to be in my head or just roll around for a really long time which cause me to wake up sleepy and just really lazy. When I smoke it's like it calms me down completely and I can sleep instantly as soon as I close my eyes, is this something I should be worried about? I started smoking about 4 months ago and I kept going since it really helped me sleep.

    I just stopped smoking weed like 3 weeks ago after smoking every day for 10 years (mostly due to financial reasons). I find that reading a book in bed or listening to a podcast helps me wind down. After the first 3-4 days it's pretty easy to sleep without it.

    Medical marijuana is a thing for a reason. Insomnia is one of the symptoms it alleviates so I would say it's normal. Please consult a doctor or advanced practice provider to make sure nothing serious is going on and/or rule out sleep disorders.

    Stop smoking weed & practice clean sleeping. No electronics near the bed, no lights on, no drugs, no pills. I smoke regularly and when I take a tolerance break I notice a huge decline in my ability to fall asleep. It's because your brain isn't producing enough melatonin & shit on its own and it doesn't know to produce it without the weed. Listen I know it sounds like a huge fucking deal but just put down the bong for a couple weeks and you'll feel SO much better. Don't let weed rule your life.

    I'm sorry you're stuck in this rut. It's definitely time to get help if you're dependent on drugs to function normally. Could you replace it with just CBD for the meantime? Fugazi had a good idea about reading a book, distractions work. I have a lamp that has glitter that flies about, and there's a light. I can watch the sparkles and flushing changes of colours until I sleep to stay distracted. Stuff like that could help you calm yourself before bed.

    That's horrible. My old coworker became dependent on alchol to sleep like 1 week after he turned 21

    I was like this for about 5 years, could only sleep if I was high on weed. I miss them old days of falling asleep under the air conditioner stoned. Had to stop smoking weed because it was changing an not the same, dealers were trying to make weed stronger and stronger and wanted to be known for selling the most potent shit, when they should have just left it alone or put more time into quality rather then THC strength. All them chemicals used to grow the plant gets absorbed into the buds and leaves, you smoke it and absorb it into your lungs, Horrible!

      If I lived in Australia I'd just grow it myself outdoors with organic compost

        I have done that a few times, worked out pretty good. Grew some inside next to a window, no lights or chems. few years after that I grew some in my garden among roses and other plants. Even had I time where I grew some down by the murray river.

    I'd have a talk to a good dietician and a good Dr's about your situation. You should be able to fall asleep normally without use of drugs.
