Dear Cheri, After a long absence, I started regularly using cannabis again about 8 months ago. Generally speaking, I feel great but one thing I have noticed is that, even though I have been sleeping great, I hardly have any dreams anymore, and I used to have lots of vivid dreams. Could my cannabis use be the reason for my lack of dreams? You are not dreaming about not dreaming.

In all the talk about THC and CBD, other cannabinoids can get forgotten about. Yet, these other compounds can affect how CBD and THC work, alongside having unique properties of their own.

As legalization and normalization of cannabis continue to spread, many cannabis consumers are making attempts to grow their own. Laws vary by state but increasingly people are choosing to sprout their own green, often by purchasing clones. Clones that are sold are supposed to be female as that is the gender that produces the flower. However if one is growing from seed even the cultivars with the highest feminization rate, will have some males in the bunch.
