MMJ Recs 3 MMJ-Infused Herbal Teas To Induce Sleep

If you’ve ever suffered from insomnia, you know that sleepless nights can be one of the most difficult things to experience. More than 30% of Americans suffer from sleep difficulties, so you’re not alone. But it can still be frustrating if you’ve tried multiple things to help you sleep better only to have them be ineffective.

Many people start to use medical marijuana (MMJ) products to help them with sleep issues, and one of the best ways to use it is by drinking it in tea. Ready to get some uninterrupted, peaceful shut-eye? Here’s all the info you need on MMJ-infused herbal teas to induce sleep.

What is MMJ-infused herbal tea?

You have several different options if you want to try cannabis-infused herbal teas. These types of teas can be purchased premade from dispensaries or other outlets where you already purchase your MMJ products. In states where recreational cannabis is legal, you can purchase these teas at many stores or online. Your other option is to make your own MMJ-infused tea at home. This can be a fun way to include your favorite ingredients while controlling exactly how much THC (the psychoactive component of marijuana) is in your tea.

It’s important to note that simply mixing marijuana with tea won’t give you a great result. For the cannabinoids in the tea to be fully absorbed into your system, you’ll need to include an oil-based ingredient. Some countries use exotic ingredients such as yak butter or coconut fat, but you can simply include some cream or milk for the same effect. Other important ingredients to induce sleep include things like lavender, chamomile, or mint.

How can I make MMJ-infused teas?

If you’re wondering how to make cannabis tea for sleeping better, there are tons of THC-infused herbal tea recipes online. Most people recommend putting about a teaspoon of “shake” or loose leaves into a tea-ball, then steeping it in a cup of boiled water for several minutes. You can then mix in relaxing ingredients like the ones mentioned above. You even have the option of just dunking the cannabis in with a herbal tea bag (as long as you remember to add the cream or milk to get the full effect).

MMJ users commonly use the Indica strain because of its relaxation properties. Some people also prefer to put drops of cannabis oil in their tea instead of loose leaves; this can work just as well as long as you include your preferred type of milk. It’s best to follow a recipe you’ve found online when you first start out making MMJ-infused teas so that you get the proper result.

What if I want to buy my own pre-made THC tea?

If you have a valid MMJ card, you’ll have access to many cannabis products that can help treat your health issues. If insomnia or trouble sleeping is an issue for you, you can also buy pre-made THC teas so you don’t have to do any of the preparation work yourself. There are a lot of great brands available, so check with your local dispensary to see if they recommend any good ones specifically made to help with sleep.

Here are three other options you might want to consider trying:

1. Kikoko Tranquili-Tea

This chamomile valerian tea won’t get you high, but has a wonderful sedative quality to help you achieve better sleep. With only 3mg of THC per tea bag, it’s perfect for drinking about 90 minutes before you’re ready to hit the hay. It also comes in several different packaging options, so you can try it out to see if you like it before you purchase a large quantity.

This company also has several other products for helping with sleep, so you can experiment with different types of MMJ products to best fit your needs.

2. Sava Cannabis-Infused Instant Tea

This tea offers a calming effect with real chamomile flowers and natural mint. It has 7mg of CBN and 5mg of CBD – this equals less than 2mg of THC, so it has even lower psychoactive effects than most cannabis teas.

However, this tea is so soothing that it can help calm both physical and mental restlessness that can keep you from a deep sleep. The best part is that it’ll allow you to get a good night’s sleep without waking up feeling groggy the next morning.

3. CannaTea Honey Rose Chamomile Hot Tea

Made with Ruby Farms Hindu Kush and a pure Indica strain, this tea can help you unwind after a long day and make you more relaxed and ready for sleep around your desired bedtime. It also has an added benefit of helping with chronic pain relief.

It’s important to remember that drinking cannabis-infused tea is similar to consuming edibles. The mixture has to pass through your stomach for digestion and is then metabolized in your liver. This means that you might not feel the effects of the MMJ for up to an hour or two after you’ve drunk it. It’s best to drink a cup of tea and wait rather than drinking another one right away if you don’t immediately feel anything. Within a few hours, you should be feeling more relaxed and better able to drift off to sleep.

Additionally, you’ll want to experiment with different strains and types of teas to find the one that is most effective for you and your needs. Start out with more mild options to make sure you’re not using products that are too strong for your system. With time, you’ll be able to come up with the perfect blend of herbal tea and MMJ to help you improve your sleep long-term.
