Th' 'ell I doin' up at 3:30AM?

I'm not a doctor. That's my disclaimer.

I have been a marijuana cultivator for something like 30 years.
I've done both illegal, back before 2014 and legal after. I grew marijuana legally for parents who had children with major seizure problems. I found that instead of growing marijuana for money value and taking money value away from the cartel's, that I actually did a tremendous amount of good for people who moved to Colorado due to federal laws. When your child has 30 seizures a day and I can give you an oil that you rub literally two drops onto your child's foot and they have maybe 1 seizure a day, you would move to Colorado also. Federal laws mean nothing when it comes to the health of your child.
I am no longer involved in commercial growing as Phillip Morris has indeed cornered the market and is working their hands into every aspect of marijuana.

I could go on and on and on with people's success of using marijuana oils and tinctures for sleep and pain relief. I've known hundreds of people personally.
Pills aren't the answers. Big Pharma is not either. Every sleep pill has side effects.
Again, I'm no doctor, but I've not seen anyone have side effects from the thc rubs and vapors. When used for sleep of course. If you want side effects, then take a few extra puffs and you will get high. totally different use.
