whats a good strain for help relax, stop your mind for running. Just have trouble lately staying asleep so Figured Id see if maybe theres a strain to help. Google did pull up Gods gift? Anyone have any experience with it?
 
My experience is that it almost doesn't matter what strain I choose, it aids in falling asleep or getting back to sleep. It happened to me last night. I'm still relatively new, finding what works for me and what doesn't.

My truth is that I need to employ other means as well, for successful slumber. Moderate exercise, at least three times a week, is fantastic. I also practice deep breathing and meditation.

I know the effects of what I have and still chose a straight Sativa last night (Golden Tiger X Panama). The effects are what you'd expect, as compared to an Indica. It didin't matter. I enjoyed my complex, thought provoking, slightly invigorating high and gradually drifted off...

I guess my point is, don't get too wrapped around the axle about the strain. If you do the other things (meditation, etc.), you'll get to sleep regardless of strain.
 
There were two things that would keep me awake at night. The first was joint pain, this was sporadic from 76 till the early in 2009 and used opioids to treat only when pain kept me awake. In 2013 I was diagnosed with COPD which made me realize my productive days were limited. This started my mind keeping me awake if I wasted a day. I found best thing for this was just to do something productive every day. For example I hate doing the dishes and if I blow them off to work some project in the house, yard or for improving my grow I was productive and blowing off the dishes doesn't dwell on my mind. In 2016 my primary physician semi-retired and started working out of a office that did not prescribe opioids and suggested I may want to check into cannabis since I only ever needed occasional meds to mask pain for me to sleep. Beginning 2-14-17 I switched to cannabis using Weedmaps for what was available at dispensaries within a 50 mile radius and Leafly to confirm affects I would purchase. Over the next 18 months I bought more than 30 ounces many of which did not have the taste or affect listed on Leafly which turned me of on dispensaries. Oh hell I'm high watching football and rambling all you wanted to know is what we use for sleeping. I found if I normally take 3 or 4 puffs off my pipe filled with the White Widow Hash I make to get a buzz or ease my knees that taking 5 or 6 puffs about an hour before bed and I sleep soundly. Last night no idea of drift off time but was dam near as soon as my head hit the pillow, I woke at 1:43 to piss and right back to sleep till 7:45
 
Gorilla Glue is a great relaxing and sleep aid - it is also good for mixing with some of the "active" strains which may be great for psychedelic's etc. but make it hard to sleep. We find that adding Gorilla Glue to you smoke (about 1/3 of your mixing should be Gorilla Glue).
Also Gelato.OG is a great relaxer, the waves of relaxation that sweep over you are like being rocked to sleep, but this cannot be mixed - its not robust enough when blended to counter those strains that keep you alert...

So:
  • Gelato.OG - just by itself
  • Gorilla Glue, either by itself, or can be mixed in with other "non-sleepy" strains.
 
Yea Bubba, Hindu, Purple, Master lol they’re all on the sedative side. Banana Kush is the only one I’ve tried that wasn’t
 
My go to is tincture of Indica and .5 gram decarbed bud in a cup of yogurt, 2 hr. before lights out. And I do mean out.
For me there is a slight hallucinogenic, paralytic effect before loss of consciousness and deep slumber. It's not bad.
