• About 22% of young adults use cannabis, alcohol, or both to help them fall asleep, according to a University of Michigan study
• Experts warn that relying on substances to sleep can worsen sleep quality and increase the risk of dependency
• Cannabis advocates say, when used properly, the drug may help promote better rest

Struggling to fall asleep, many young adults are reaching for marijuana or alcohol at bedtime, a University of Michigan study found.

U-M's annual Monitoring the Future Panel study found that 22% of adults between the ages of 19 and 30 used either cannabis, alcohol or both to sleep. 

Of the two, marijuana was more common, with 18% using the drug to fall asleep, compared to 7% of participants who used alcohol. 

While advocates say cannabis can be a low-risk alternative to sleep medications, using drugs or alcohol for sleep could “backfire because they can interfere with the ability to stay asleep and with the quality of sleep," said Megan Patrick, research professor at the Institute for Social Research at U-M. 

"They appear to actually disrupt sleep in the long term. The fact that so many young adults reported that they use cannabis to sleep is alarming."

Sleep deprivation, or the lack of sleep, is a common condition that many Americans experience, according to a study published in the National Library of Medicine. It is generally recommended that adults get between 7-9 hours of sleep per night. If not, it can lead to excessive daytime sleepiness. 

Factors like excessive screen time before bed can prevent the brain from releasing melatonin, the “sleep hormone.” 

People who work early morning or late night shifts tend to have a harder time falling asleep and generally get fewer hours of sleep, according to the study. 

"Unfortunately, there is a misconception that substance use can be helpful for sleep problems, but it can make things worse," Patrick said. "High-quality sleep is critical for mental health and regulating mood. Young adults told us that they are using cannabis to try to get to sleep, but doing so may make their sleep problems even worse. They need to know the potential risks."

Cannabis as sleep aid 

While medical experts warn that relying on substances to sleep can increase the risk of dependency or substance abuse, cannabis advocates argue that, when used responsibly and in the right doses, the drug can offer real benefits for those struggling to fall asleep naturally. 

Cannabis has become more widely accepted in recent years, particularly for its medicinal benefits. Michigan voters approved a measure to legalize medical marijuana use in 2008 and later approved recreational use in 2018. 

A 2023 study published by the National Library of Medicine found that participants who used cannabis were able to reduce or completely stop prescription medication to help aid them with sleep.  

“We sell thousands of packs of sleep gummies every week. I didn't realize how many people had sleep problems,” said Jerry Millen, owner of Greenhouse dispensary in Walled Lake. “A lot of seniors can't sleep, and a lot of young people now are stressed out and they can't sleep either.” 

The study found that cannabis that contains low levels of THC, a psychoactive cannabinoid that can produce relieving, sedative or euphoric effects, can help ease falling asleep and increase lower sleep time. 

Cannabis that contains a high concentration of CBD, a nonpsychoactive cannabinoid, can have a sedating effect, while a lower dosage can actually have a stimulating effect. 

“People are getting off opioids with cannabis. People are replacing alcohol with cannabis,” Millen said. “If you have a vice and you want to 'abuse' something, I suggest you use cannabis.” 

Practicing good sleep hygiene 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that adults get at least seven hours of sleep each night. 

Getting good quality sleep can decrease the number of times you get sick, maintain a healthy weight, reduce stress and improve your heart health and metabolism. 

The CDC offers several recommendations for getting better, more restful sleep: 

• Going to bed and getting up at the same time every day
• Keeping your bedroom quiet, relaxing, and at a cool temperature
• Turning off electronic devices at least 30 minutes before bedtime
• Avoiding large meals and alcohol before bedtime
• Avoiding caffeine in the afternoon or evening

The post U-M Study: 1 in 5 Young Adults Using Marijuana, Alcohol to Fall Asleep appeared first on Weedmaps News.

Spooky season has arrived, and not just on the drugstore shelves, but also in our stoner hearts. Our favorite Halloween weed strains may have seriously ooky-spooky vibes, but don't judge a nug by its label. Each of these cultivars is exceptionally suited to all manners of wholesome — or terrifying — Halloweed foolishness.

Keep in mind, your endocannabinoid system is like your fingerprint: totally unique to you. The effects described below may not line up neatly across the board for all users, and your experience is yours alone.

Zombie Kush

Zombie Kush, also known as Zombie OG, is an award-winning hybrid created by unknown breeders who combined Blackberry with the famous California strain OG Kush.

Expect to indulge in that signature Kush stink of its heritage and inhale layers of pine, earth, and peppered florals. Its smoke has a similar peppery acridity with notes of citrus and earthiness — perfect for a witch's brew (or bong, more likely). Pair this award-winning strain with an award-worthy night of horror movie binge-watching.

Jack the Ripper

Jack the Ripper is a hybrid with a pronounced sativa bend, but the onset eases into a slow wave. Most users find the high both powerfully euphoric and gently buoyant, without the telltale manic edge many sativas tend towards. If your low-key solution to a canceled Halloween bash is an intimate dance party, this is the strain for you.

Jack the Ripper was bred from a clone of Jack's Cleaner and a male variation of Space Queen known as Space Dude. The resulting flowers are dense and resinous with a terpene profile rich in terpinolene and pinene. Anticipate measured notes of fruity funk and crisp pine on a velvety exhale.

Candy Kush

Candy Kush is, biologically, a balanced hybrid, but this strain can produce results on either side of the fulcrum depending on the how, where, and why of its consumption. One purported effect, however, seems ubiquitous despite the user's disposition: legendary munchies. So whether you're waking and baking or resting and ingesting, stock up your Halloween candy bucket before indulging in this strain.

Candy Kush is a mashup of OG Kush and Trainwreck. Some phenotypes display a spicier sativa dominance, while others gently slant into a complacent indica. And the “Candy” designation refers to more than just expectable munchies — this strain's terpene profile is loud with limonene and myrcene, a nuanced combination that's lemon tart in the nose and candy-sweet on exhale.

Monster Cookies

For those introverted folks who've already made a Halloween date with their couch, fave blanket, and a curated scary movie playlist, Monster Cookies is the strain to keep you locked in and chilled out all night long — or at least until you snack yourself to sleep. 

Often referred to as a nighttime strain, the high is deeply relaxing in both mind and body. The head tends to be cottony and insulative, while the body feels softer than a cartoon ottoman. The result is a deeply stoney indica effect that dances on the edge of elation and tranquilization.

Born from a marriage of GSC (formerly known as Girl Scout Cookies) and Granddaddy Purple, this cultivar's terpene expression is peppery on top with tart underpinnings of citrus and pine on the tail end of the exhale. The aroma is reminiscent of Grandaddy Purple with notes of grape and berry pulling the most attention, but overall, the mouthfeel is earthy and mild.

Frankenstein

If you're looking to feel some measure of full Halloween fantasy this year, scope out our pal Frankenstein. No one knows who the parents are, but legend has it, it emerged, arms outstretched, from the wild depths of the Pacific Northwest. The strain's designation is firmly an “indica forward hybrid,” but reported effects vary from deep relaxation and muffled cognition to a springy euphoria that's gently energetic. This mystery strain is truly living up to its name.

The terpene profile is brightly herbal, with nuanced inflections of myrcene, pinene, and minty ocimene presenting as either richly herbaceous or funk on funk on funk, depending on your sniffer's interpretation of the terps. The exhale is mild and silken, with some reporting a deeply floral aftertaste and others admonishing an astringent, perfume-like flavor.

How will Frankenstein affect you? Will y'all be BFFs, or will this strain terrorize your whole town? Guess you'll have to try it and see.

Hell Fire OG

Hell Fire OG delivers both a euphoric sativa onset and a pacifying indica plateau. The name seems to indicate a fiery ambush of irreverence, which everyone just loves on Halloween, but that's only at face value. This strain's straightforward heritage (OGs up and down the family tree) has resulted in a high that's equal parts swinging from chandeliers and resting in meditative stillness.

Hell Fire OG is a hybrid of OG Kush and SFV OG Kush, and as such, it carries on the signature, mild lemony diesel aroma of its parent strains. The terpenes are led by myrcene, with caryophyllene and pinene playing supportive roles. This results in an exhale that is sweetly herbal and effortlessly sheer.

Ghost Train Haze

Spooky Season just wouldn't be the same without strains like Ghost Train Haze, a boisterous sativa that hits hard and lasts long. This strain's reputation for high-key manic energy makes it terrifically fun for physical adventuring, but larger doses can be overwhelming for lower tolerance users or those prone to stoner paranoia — puff cautiously. The head high is typically creative and euphoric, with an effervescent body high that operates at a lifted vibration.

Ghost Train Haze is parented by Ghost OG and Neville's Wreck — indica and sativa hybrids, respectively. Though Ghost Train Haze claims one relatively mollifying strain as a parent, its phenotype is a powerful expression of stereotypical sativa dominance with complex notes of terpinolene and myrcene, underpinned by a delicate suggestion of limonene. The resulting mouthfeel is mildly herbal and reminiscent of tropical fruit.

Death Star

Death Star is a potent indica hybrid with an aroma that is pure skunky earth. Though the strain leans indica, the high is more complex than that designation can describe. The onset is typically a slow one, tentatively wading into the deeper waters of the user's psyche before blossoming into a powerfully relaxing body/mind euphoria. If your Halloween plans involve dressing up your dog as an Ewok or doing some form of Star Wars cosplay for the love of George Lucas, include this strain to keep the vibes from turning to the dark side.

Though Death Star delivers an undeniably deep indica high, its parentage is an even sativa/indica split. Death Star is a hybrid of Sensi Star and Sour Diesel, with a terpene profile that boasts caryophyllene in front and myrcene and limonene in the back. The resulting exhale is earthy and peppery with a muted, fruity undertone.

Phantom OG

This hybrid strain leans ever so slightly towards its indica lineage — its high is overwhelmingly relaxing yet sparkling with creative euphoria. Halloween revelry this year is going to require a bit of ingenuity on our end, and Phantom OG is a great strain to lose yourself while building cardboard robot costumes for your hedges or papier-mache skulls for your porch.

Phantom OG is another OG Kush baby, but this strain is decidedly mellow, with its most prominent effect reported as sleepy. If you're planning on getting stoned enough to ignore whatever brave trick or treater darkens your doorstep, Phantom OG will set you on your way. The terpene profile is a balanced rapport of caryophyllene and limonene, and a whisper of hoppy humulene bringing up the rear. The aroma is pine-sol bracing with the slightest suggestion of herbaceous mint, while the mouthfeel is lemony and crisp, with a smooth, sheer exhale.

Alien OG

Alien OG is an astral cross of Tahoe OG and Alien Kush that delivers a heady, cerebral high followed by a slow, magnetic descent. Tranquil and weightless, its effects start spacey and euphoric, at first. Then, bending perception just enough to make you question reality, the high transitions into a full-melt body calm that feels like being abducted by friendly aliens. 

For a holiday that celebrates all things otherworldly and unexplained, Alien OG offers a real boo-st for anyone looking to have a hauntingly good time without leaving the mother ship.

The terpene profile is loud with limonene and caryophyllene, producing a pungent lemon-pine aroma. The smoke hits earthy and citrus-forward with a smooth, creamy exhale. Perfect for the evening of October 31st, when you want to feel cosmically detached from reality — or just really enjoy handing out treats to the kiddos.

White Widow

Halloween, All Hallows' Eve, Night of the Dead — whatever you call it, White Widow belongs to the season. This hybrid crosses Brazilian and South Indian landrace strains, bred by Green House Seed Company in the early '90s. The strain earned its ghostly name from the dense white trichomes coating its buds.

White Widow bites the nose and head with a strong pepper and cedar profile and a high that lands like a relaxed haze before building into an energetic vibe — call it the jump scare effect, minus the actual terror. This widow's terpene profile is high in caryophyllene and pinene, creating an aroma that's spicy and woodsy with earthy undertones. On the exhale, the palate is hit with a sharp and herbal zest with a lingering cedar finish. 

Perfect for bingeing on horror movies where you want to feel the suspense... without hiding under the blanket, this balanced hybrid keeps you engaged and pleasantly spooked all night long.

Durban Poison

Durban Poison is a pure sativa landrace from South Africa's port city of Durban. Despite its ominous name, the high is anything but dangerous — it's clean, energizing, and social without a jittery edge. 

The effects are powerfully uplifting, delivering creative euphoria paired with physical stamina that doesn't crash. If your Halloween requires navigating a corn maze, winning a costume contest, or simply outlasting a full night of sugar-fueled trick-or-treaters without fading, this strain keeps pace.

The terpene profile is dominated by terpinolene, delivering sweet, earthy flavors with hints of anise and pine. The buds are dense and compact, and the smoke hits bright and herbal in a way that sharpens rather than clouds. The exhale is smooth with a lingering sweetness that tastes like October air smells — crisp, alive, and oddly nostalgic. Perfect for the one night a year when staying awake past midnight is mandatory, not optional.
