If you've tried cannabis ... (Laughter) you may have experienced some of its side effects.
Perhaps you got a bit peckish, and you've got the local pizza shop on speed dial?
Or maybe you got a bit sleepy.
So isn't it a no-brainer that cannabis can help us sleep better?
Well, I've been researching this topic as a sleep physiologist, and I'm here to talk about why cannabis for treating insomnia is complicated.
Humans have been using cannabis for at least 5,000 years.
We've been using it to make clothes, for building materials.
It's been used in religious ceremonies and for its health benefits.
And, apparently, it's been used for fun.
(Laughter) But it's only been in the past 100 or so years that we've started understanding the science of cannabis and its effects.
