Three markers that predict sleep-supportive cannabis: indica-dominant genetics, myrcene above 0.5% by terpene content, CBN content (cannabinol, naturally formed as THC ages — more sedating than THC). Bonus: linalool (lavender) supports calm + sleep onset.
Specific strains rotate weekly, but the names that signal sleep-supportive profiles include Granddaddy Purple, Bubba Kush, Northern Lights, Purple Kush, Tahoe OG, Wedding Cake (indica pheno). Ask any budtender to filter today’s menu by indica + myrcene + CBN.
NY dispensaries carry CBN-formulated sleep edibles + tinctures — typically 5mg THC + 5mg CBN. CBN sedates without intoxicating; the combination produces faster sleep onset with less REM disruption than pure-THC products.
Indica-dominant strains testing above 0.5% myrcene with secondary linalool. Strain references include Granddaddy Purple, Bubba Kush, Northern Lights, Purple Kush. CBN-formulated products (5mg THC + 5mg CBN) are specifically engineered for sleep with less REM disruption than pure-THC.
