This is as powerful as THC if you get the right stuff. And if it is "pricey" it is probably good. Do not buy the cheapest. Buy the most expensive and buy a small amount.
They suggest you do a medicine dropper full. That is about right. Try it. I think you will be amazed. I mix mine with Sativa and it just takes the edge off.
Essential oils are nice but when you are in this dire of straights where you cannot sleep, you need something a little stronger to kick your metabolism into underdrive. Not overdrive.
That happens to me, too, but on very rare occasions. I make it a habit of reading before I go to sleep so that I'm relaxed and sleepy, then I roll over and in 2 minutes, I'm out like the light.
Write. I'm very grateful for that too. I'm back in school and have a bad habit of waiting until the day my assignments are due to do them. One day, I discovered I had a five-page essay due for one class and two two-page essays due for other classes, along with a week of reading for each class. Not only did I finish it all on time, but I got As on all the papers too.
