Thank you for this podcast, this issue is so important! I want to talk more about one thing. Cannabis is even sometimes used for medical purposes and sleeping issues are among them. Personally, I always take weed when I want to relax. I especially like the fact that on this website https://weeddelivery.io/product-category/cannabis/aa/ I can order what I need and have it delivered to me. One time it took me an hour to get the weed delivered. I actually started sleeping better as my mental health got better.

Thanks for this podcast! I'm tired of hearing from everyone that you just need to be more tired or that I'm just not doing my regimen correctly.
