Smoking Cannabis Before Bed

[fly-high]

does anyone have any insight on doing this?? SWM heard a couple rumors like it helps to fall asleep faster, and makes for better dreaming...

[Lehendakari]

Cannabis sure helps falling asleep faster, as for dreams, for SWIM sometimes helps having lucid dreaming, but others just kills all memory of dreaming.

SWIM recommends not to go to bed right after you hit the bong. SWIM usually smokes a joint or two while listening to music or watching tv shows, then when he's done smoking he plays a little bit his guitar or playstation or just keeps watching tv or listening to music. He waits for at least half an hour before going to bed.

Marijuana makes for better dreaming alright. All you need to do is smoke every night for a good few months or until you start forgetting your dreams then suddenly stop, you'll have plenty of intense, strange and wonderful dreams, once you finally get to sleep that is, which may take some time.

Very, very true, man. When SWIM got put on probation he was forced to stop smoking (naturally)... After a few nights he would have very VERY lucid dreams with very strange content. He would remember them in the morning prefectly, as if it was a movie he had just watched. Weird stuff, my friends. It actually got unpleasant after about a week...

How long did it take for this unplesentness to subside?

[Alicia]

depends on the strain some strains particularly heavy sativa strains swia finds it impossible to sleep on where as indica based strain no problem swia never dreams on weed.

this cat i met in a magical alley once told me that if you sleep with a loaded bowl and hit it through out the night it makes for a great expirence,, be warned the cat said he smoked his sack like this

[The Doors]

SWIM usually smokes a bowl/joint an hour or two before going to bed and by the bed he is ready to sleep, he gets in bed and falls asleep pretty much instantly. It used to take between 30minutes to 2hours for SWIM to be able to fall asleep!

i dont kno about the dreams, swim never remembers his dreams when these days except when i fall back to sleep on the weekends ya kno then mad ones! but yea smoking the reefer before bed is a must for swim only way he can stop the mad thoughts going thru his head

[fly-high]

for swim, its like seeing a tv show from a different perspective.. i dont understand why being high would change the perception of a show... can anyone help swim on this one

[sterling77]

As a retrospective swim thinks smoking right before bed on a long-term basis was a bad habit and helps contribute to "marijuana burnout" et cetera, along with the negative psychological effects of weed.

SWIM often finds it hard to get to sleep after smoking alot of green over the past few days. SWIM normally leaves plenty of time between getting stoned and going to bed to allow for the effects to subside. Also isn't it a bit of a waste? (green is expensive where SWIM lives)

[Strykar]

Interesting!

SWIM and his friends actually don't dream after smoking.
Or maybe there's no recollection after, but SWIM can usually remember his dreams pretty vividly so...

SWIM has more dreams when he drinks alcohol.

[amanda]

swim says its really chill to unwind to a song and zone out before going to bed, as for the dreams, swim says his dreams are weird like drunk dreaming. swim says sometimes, he wants to just enjoy it instead of sleeping though and then he wastes time.

[ProtectedByTheGods]

As for SWIM, smoking before bed has the effect of him not remembering
(or maybe even having) any of the dreams through the night.
In the morning, it's extra hard to get out of bed, and the eyes and mouth
seem even stickier than usual.
Also, SWIM is unable to fall asleep after smoking a joint, because his mind
is spinning fast and won't let him untill a hour or so passes...

SWIMs advice: it's a waste of drug and the effects are mostly negative.
But then again, this is just what he personally feels, so if it works for SWIY.....

[chunky funky basslines]

smoking before bed used to put swim to sleep, but as time goes on and you toke more it seems to have the effect of preventing sleep.

swim and his friends often talk about getting the 'bedtime biff' back.

that feeling of sinking into your bed before falling asleep effortlessly, nowadays swim just tosses and turns if he is baked

[qtricanwitabooty]

SWIM has the weirdest dreams while high. She fights and kicks in her dreams. Sometimes wakes up crying because the dream seemed so real and she couldnt wake up. SWIM always remembers her dreams and is afraid to go back to sleep because of fear that she is gonna dream again. SWIM has always had horrible dreams while sober but while high the dream seems more real. The same thing happened while SWIM was on Zoloft. She stopped taking zoloft and the dreams calmed down but alot of times while high she has bad dreams.

SWIM gets this effect, too..if she smokes at night she'll stay up for hours reading articles or drawing instead of sleeping. However, if she gets *too* high, all she WANTS to do is sleep and struggles to do so.

[geophagus]

SWIM has smoked before going to bed maybe a total of a thousand times in the last 20 years. Occasionally, SWIM would desire a clear brain in the morning, so SWIM would not consume any cannabis.

SWIM can see the advantanges of both smoking before bed, and not smoking before bed. It always depended on individual circumstances for SWIM. Sometimes herb would enhance sleep & dreams, other times herb would hinder sleep & dreams, for SWIM that is. Here's one of SWIM's favorite quotes on this subject:

"Sleep is the best form of meditation." ~ Dalai Lama

[ljfe]

SWIM finds that smoking, eating, then sleeping is wonderful. He doesn't dream much more, but he sleeps great. It also makes laying in bed before you fall asleep much better. SWIM says if you 'wake and bake' also, it makes for a great transition to your next work day.

[Pomzazed]

Swim mostly potted before going to bed; while having a beat continuously played beside, as he can imagine and rap along easily till he fall asleep.

[Zog]

SWIM did this once and he had weird freams and woke up on the floor.

[jcdjinn]

Whenever SWIM smokes weed, his heart rate literally doubles. He has insane energy and can't stop moving and thinking incredibly fast. Now alcohol, that knocks him out fast. Maybe his body chemistry is just different.

SWIY might be smoking super skunk which makes you feel energetic.

[Euphoric]

SWIM usually loves drifting off after smoking (though awhile after, usually at least 2 hours, but sometimes less). She usually feels very good and has some light CEVs and feels light and almost as if she can astral project. She feels very in control of what she is seeing in her head and can imagine things and watch them like a movie in great detail. Sometimes SWIM can do this without MJ though. And if she chooses not to think or try, she will be entertained regardless, until sleep arrives. It really makes for a smooth sail into the seas of sleep for SWIM.
