I have used and studied cannibus extensively. Different strains do different things. If there are dispensaries in your state than you can go to one and ask about it, but in general there are two main types out there.
Sativas... they are known to give you a bit more of a heady high and actually helps get you moving and keeps you awake. Sativas make you wanna do stuff.
Indicas... they give you a body high, which in turn can help get you sleepy.
If you are having sleeping troubles, indicas are the way to go. If you have stuff to do today, do sativas. Unfortunately, it is illegal in most states, so if you do get it from a "dealer" you need to figure out what you get on your own. Most dealers don't know the difference between sativas and indicas, so it's always good to either find one who does, or when you find a strain you like, see if ur dealer will continue to get it.
The key to not getting too stoned is to smoke only a little at a time. Remember that Cannibus hits you hard because it is smoked, and it is an almost immediate delivery system. So smoke one hit, and sit on it for about 5 minutes. See what happens to your stomach AND your mind. Then take another hit. Everyone is different. I have been smoking almost daily for about 4 years, and I am a lightweight. I get ripped off about 2 hits so an entire joint can last me a day or two.
I can honestly say cannibus helps me. It makes you hungry, happy, relieves pain, and helps you sleep. So if you have a poor appetite, depression, pain, or insomnia, it could be a thing to try. In most states its decriminalized, and remember that as long as you are not driving, it is NOT ILLEGAL TO BE HIGH! It's illegal to possess it, buy it, and sell it, but being high is ok.
