BOSTON, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- People who smoke marijuana to help them sleep may be achieving exactly the opposite, Boston University researchers suggest in a new study.
While drowsiness and physical inactivity are often associated with marijuana use, Boston University scientists note daily smokers scored higher on the Insomnia Severity Index than moderate users did in their recent study. The findings were published in the Journal of Addictive Diseases. The study's authors say their data may help dispel a common myth about the most heavily used drug in the United States.
