I know that weed reduces REM cycles, but sleep specialists keep prescribing me antidepressants as sleep aids, and they also reduce your REM sleep. I’ve never understood why it’s bad to use weed to kill my nightmares, but good to use pharmaceuticals to do the same thing.
Regardless, I’ve not had dreams since I started antidepressants as a teenager. I didn’t start smoking weed until I was in my 30s, and that was for nerve pain after a car accident. I’m peeved that I needed to rely on my own street pharm knowledge that opiates don’t work on nerve pain, because if I’d relied on the doctors, I’d be hooked on oxy right now.

Doctors who arent pauing attention are better replaced by flowcharts.
