Why does cannabis make you drowsy when it starts to wear off

le sigh


well thank you, Lady Codone, for taking the time to think through a "problem" and compose a well-written post that thoroughly debunks an initial sarcastic reply.



Sarcastic Blue
Its not really quality sarcasm when you have to write multiple posts explaining the joke. And the link you provided showed a few random small forums posting about it with the 1st result being an urbandictionary definition that has 2 thumbs up and 4 thumbs down, so I'm not sure what that proves.
 
Seriously? 20 replies and no one knows? Common, people! It is melatonin release!
 
When you consume cannabis, your melatonin levels begin to rise, hours later after consumption they soar, this is why we feel sleepy later on (usually anyway)

melatonin is the sleep hormone / neurochemical
 
Good job to both people who mentioned melatonin. I wasn't even aware cannabis released it, but after looking it up one article even stated that 20 minutes after consumption the melatonin levels were up to 4000%. That seems extremely high though, anyone able to verify? The same article had replies saying melatonin also slows down aging, if this is true does this add another thing to the list of cannabis's benefits.
 
I dont know if cannabis depletes melatonin or if it just gets recycled.

Our bodies produce it when dark hits our eyes as well apparantly. This goes hand in hand with some research i was doing in Ecstasy discussion about Tryptophan , 5htp , serotonin , melatonin in some ways.
