Weed and Sleep: What Happens When You Smoke Before Bed

Ever wonder why your dreams get absolutely wild the moment you stop smoking? In this session of Thoughts Off The Stem, Justin Baroni breaks down the “REM Rebound” effect—the scientific reason why taking a tolerance break (T-Break) leads to vivid, Freddy Krueger-style dreamscapes. We’re diving into how THC interacts with your brain’s receptors, what “withdrawal” actually feels like, and why a tea break might be exactly what you need to find your giggle again. Plus, a full review of Tribal’s Galactic Runts Live Resin (76.8% THC).

Welcome to Thoughts office, Dad.

Thank you for joining the sesh with me.

Justin Barone.

I hope you’re having a good day, a good week, a good month, a good year.

I hope that life is being good to you is what I’m saying.

Have you ever decided to take a tea break?

Have you ever wondered what happens when you stop smoking weed cold Turkey?

0:27 – Why Weed and Vivid Dreams are Connected

Well, I can tell you there’s a lot of different things that happen, but one of the most major things that happen is you start having vivid dreams and you want to know why you have those vivid dreams.

Well, Simply put, it’s because weed itself blocks your ability to get to REM sleep.

0:45

And REM sleep is where the dreams happen.

Baby.

This last week I’ve been having a hard time sleeping and like it hasn’t been too bad, but there’s been a few nights where I’ve had like you know a couple a couple nights throughout the week where I don’t sleep very well.

1:08

I’m up, I’m in and out of bed.

I’m not really getting that deep sleep.

I mean I feel fine and and rested for the most part the next day.

Like I don’t feel like I’m dragging my ass too bad.

But it just takes me a little while to get started.

Now about like 2 weeks ago I took a tea break because I went on vacation and you can’t really take weed to where I went on vacation nor do I travel with weed anyway because I just think it’s generally a bad idea.

1:38

But I took about 10 to 13 days off weed and I just stopped cold Turkey.

I took a few days off before I left just to be prepared and I came back and when I came back I started having some pretty crazy vivid dreams.

1:55

So I figured I should do a sesh because I’ve talked to a few people in my DMS about the stuff that they’ve learned from the podcast.

And I realized that the last few episodes have been like commentary on social stuff and I and maybe like a few goofy ones, but I just like to try and make people laugh.

2:14 – Taking a Tolerance Break (T-Break) to Reset Your Brain

Like the one about the dog and getting the dog.

But I thought this time what I should do is I should maybe try and help people understand what’s going to happen to them when they take a tea break.

Because ultimately you should take a tea break.

If you don’t know what a tea break is, it’s a tolerance break.

It’s taking some time off so that your body can find its baseline again and you’re not so dependent on weed basically, or pot, whatever you want to call it, right?

2:40

So I took a tea break because I knew I was going away.

I didn’t want to go through some of the symptoms while I was away that I that are typical with taking a break from weed.

So what I did was I started two days ahead of time.

Now, the problem with some of this is, is that you end up having these like crazy vivid dreams and they don’t they’re just nuts.

3:05

Like, you know, if you thought that if you were smoking weed because you thought you were crazy and you were using it to manage your crazy, well, if you stop and then you end up, you know, having a prolonged tea break, you’re going to rediscover you’re crazy because you’re going to end up in dreamscapes that rival like Freddy Krueger.

3:32

You know, they’re very, very vivid.

I forget what the name, what the, what the phrase is called when you have a dream where you can like manipulate what happens in it.

But that’s what I had after my bit of a tea break.

3:47

All of a sudden I started having these dreams, like 1 dream.

I was in this cabin with like college kids, but I’m my age now being mean now with a, with a group of that doesn’t make any sense, right?

And then I’m travelling through this, this this massive sprawling cottage to find these different rooms.

4:06

I finally do, and I find a room which seems to be a bunch of abducted kids.

Like what, you know, what is my brain trying to tell me there?

I don’t know, but it was crazy.

I’m arguing with people in there.

I like, I wake up before there’s any kind of resolve.

4:23

And then throughout the course of the next few days, those are the dreams I have.

They’re not really nightmares.

They’re just more confusing and they’re the like you.

I can instead of it being third person like most, most of my dreams this time it’s like first person full on.

4:41

I can decide what I’m going to say to the people in the dream.

I think that I’m living in the dream for a portion of the dream.

I believe that I’m there and I can control what I do.

So like, for example, when I was in this dream with the cabin, I was in an argument with one of these kids, like I’m 44 years old.

5:00

I’m not arguing with a 20 year old about what the most fun thing to do is that weekend, you know?

So in those dreams I was able to depict and change what I wanted to.

5:15

So all of a sudden I’d open the door and the room would look a certain way.

Then all of a sudden a flash to something different.

It’s very unnerving.

It it creates a very like rocky sleep.

But the reason that you start having these dreams is because when you go on a tea break, all of a sudden the floodgates for regular production of hormones and chemicals in the brain happens.

5:39 – Understanding REM Rebound and Dream Manipulation

And you get flooded with all of the stuff that your brain has been trying to do, but you’ve been preventing it from doing, right.

So, for example, right, the human body is designed to take on cannabis and react to cannabis.

6:03

It’s, it’s adaptable to cannabis, right?

But the one thing the cannabis does is it shuts off your brain’s ability to produce a regulated amount of dopamine and serotonin so that it can function properly.

6:22

And the whole process of dreaming is that it’s, it’s your brains way to file and sort all the events, thoughts and interactions that happened through the day.

6:39

It’s also a way for your subconscious to say, hey, dummy, let me tell you something.

There’s some stuff that’s wrong, right?

So normally dreams are somewhat reflective of what’s going on through the day and what your psyche is trying to organize.

6:59

OK.

These dreams were not like that.

Dude.

My dream had no point.

I found these kids.

I thought that they were trapped in this, this, you know, sprawling estate or this, this sprawling cabin.

And turns out the kids didn’t want to leave and there was a babysitter and the parents had rented out.

7:20

This was the first time they’d rented out the cabin.

And they’d, you know, they’d left for their vacation for a couple days.

And there was supposed to be this babysitter lady watching them, but the babysitter had left.

And all of a sudden it goes to the babysitter is telling me why the babysitter is not there.

And then I wake up.

Like, how am I supposed to interpret that?

7:38

Because I could tell you right now I didn’t have any interactions with a ghost.

I have not been around any college kids, you know, like, I definitely would never be in a, in a very expensive cabin, at least not at this point.

7:53

I’d like to have one.

I’m just saying.

And there’s always this like underlying Rob Zombie level of fear, like something crazy is about to happen.

Like a clown’s going to hop out of the closet and hack my head off, you know what I mean?

So that was one of the dreams that I had.

8:10

And that one was I think the first one, which actually ended up happening on like day 11.

And instead of having to resolve, because most dreams I find don’t really have a resolve, right?

You just kind of do the thing and then you do it.

8:25

And then you wake up and you’re like, whoa, that was that was messed up, dude.

Like what, what’s the problem here?

What’s going on?

You know, you just feel disoriented.

And then for the next three days, I ended up having like, weirder and progressively weirder dreams that literally made no sense.

8:42

So I started to get freaked out because I’m like, every time I close my freaking eyes, I think I’m going to end up in a Freddy Krueger state of mind.

Like I’m going to wake up dead with fingers stuck in me later, you know, I don’t want that to happen.

And then on top of that there I’m a big believer that in dreams you should pay attention to them because they’re trying to tell you something.

9:04

They’re trying to help you work something out right mentally that you’re not getting over.

I used to have a reoccurring zombie dream and it literally went on for like years.

For like 3 years it would reoccur, not all year, but like I’d get it a few times a month and it would progressively get longer and longer until events in my life changed and I made a very drastic life change.

9:30

All of a sudden it stopped because I learned from that dream.

What it was really trying to tell me was that I had to let go of control.

I was trying to control too much and there’s a lot of stuff that you can’t control.

Well, these dreams about being with like college kids and and in in on vacation with them makes no sense to me because like I’m not hanging out with I’m too old for that shit.

9:50

You know what happened?

If I approached a group of college kids and was like, hey, you want to hang out?

They would literally laugh at me and be like, OK, well, guy, get the fuck out of here.

Like, who are we kidding here?

So why is my brain being like, do I miss college?

Because I don’t think I do.

I don’t really miss it.

But yeah, the other problem with having these dreams is that you end up not realizing they’re a dream.

10:17

So there’s a certain point of time where shit starts to hit the fan and you’re panicking because you’re like, I don’t know what’s about to happen here.

And then all of a sudden, like I said, you wake up and you’re just like, what just happened?

You feel uneasy, all that stuff.

10:32

But how are you supposed to organize your dreams and pay attention to them and learn what it is that your subconscious is trying to tell you if there’s a whole bunch of events that don’t make any sense?

I had to go through online symbolism books, dream symbolism like re articles to figure out what each thing did.

10:55

I suggest you do it because if you have reoccurring dreams they might be trying to tell you something and you should probably try and learn something and then that way it takes away some of the anxiety from it too.

But my initial point was, if you’re going to take a tea break, you have to be aware that you are about to have some very vivid nightmares.

11:15

If you don’t like clowns, clowns are coming, baby.

They’re going to come get you.

OK?

If you don’t like dogs and animals or whatever, that’s coming to get you, if you have a fear of drowning or spiders, guess what’s coming to get you?

That’s right, the lake and the spider.

OK?

So don’t be surprised when you start having these outlandishly crazy dreams when you’re trying to understand why you’re having these crazy dreams.

11:40

It’s a little bit it’s actually more simple than trying to figure out the the dream itself.

So I looked up a bunch of articles on why this happens, like what happens in your brain when you quit weed cold Turkey and you start experiencing these like very surreal, very vivid dreams.

11:59

OK, well, based on what is this fhe health?

It’s a rehab, I believe, that basically studies withdrawal symptoms of different types of substances.

And they’ve done some study on how marijuana affects the brain.

12:18 – The Science: How THC Infiltrates Cannabinoid Receptors

So if you want to check out this article, I’m just going to read you how this affects the brain, but it’s at fherehab.com.

OK?

Or you could just look up how marijuana affects the brain.

But basically this is what they say.

They’re they’re, they’re substance abuse specialists, They’re doctors.

12:37

I believe that there’s neuroscientists involved as well with partnerships.

Anyway, the point is, this is what actually happens.

This is from fhehealth.com.

So the reason why the brain has has receptors designed specifically for marijuana chemicals is that the brain actually produces cannabinoid substances similar to pot psychoactive ingredients.

13:00

Cannabinoids are naturally made in the cortex, an area of the brain that guides movement, process thoughts and emotions, and interpret sensory information.

Anandamide is an important endogenous cannabinoid that functions as a neurotransmitter in the brain.

13:20

Anandamide facilitates chemical messaging among neurons and the central nervous system.

Sorry, let me do that one again.

Anandamide facilitates chemical messaging among neurons and the central nervous system nerve cells.

Because marijuana is primarily psychoactive chemical, THC is so comparable molecularly to anandamide and other cannabinoids.

13:44

THC is easily infiltrates and activate activates cannabinoid receptors.

OK, so disruption of the normal cannabinoid receptor activity causes the mental and physical effects of a pot high.

In addition, smoking pot increases the level of dopamine and serotonin, 2 neurotransmitters implicated in sleep, mood and pleasure.

14:09

The brains of daily marijuana smokers eventually develop a tolerance to excess excessive serotonin and dopamine levels, which forces the the Bourdain the brain to reduce its natural release of these two chemicals.

14:25

Consequently, having intense dreams after quitting weed could be due to a lack of serotonin and dopamine in the brain.

So you’re overdoing it.

That’s really what’s happening.

You’re cutting off these receptors or you’re flooding these receptors with an excessive amount that they stop production.

14:42

They get fat and lazy.

It’s like, it’s kind of like feeding, you know, a fat guy cake.

As soon as he gets an excessive amount of cake, he’s not getting off the couch, right?

Well, that’s what’s happening to these receptors in your brain.

You’re feeding it on a daily, whatever amount of marijuana you feed it.

14:59

So they’re over satisfied and they’ve got like, you know, the Turkey sleeps.

What’s it called?

I forget, but you basically, you know, after you eat Turkey, you get a little nap in.

Well, that’s what’s happening with this.

And so those receptors have become super lazy and they don’t do anything anymore.

15:16

And when they’re and then it takes roughly I don’t know for me, I found that it took within well, it took ten days to have the dreams, but I think that’s because I was away.

So I was mentally stimulated in other, you know, forms.

So it made it a little easier to not smoke weed because let’s be honest, a lot of people will go through withdrawal symptoms from weed, right.

15:40

Well, that makes trying to take a tea break that much harder because a lot of people get very irritable.

Some people are using it for sleep, like specifically to go to sleep.

Now with the, if you’re using it for sleep, the reason that you’re not having any dreams is because again, you’re overloading those receptors.

16:01

So you never actually hit that R.E.M. state cycle.

So you don’t actually have those dreams.

You might actually, that’s a lie.

You might end up having dreams, but you won’t remember them, and you also may feel like you get a better rested sleep and you may get a little more sleep when you smoke weed, but there are some lingering effects that you don’t notice over time.

16:20

So the next day, sure you’re not hungover and you’re not freaking out or you’re not hungover and you’re not, you’re not noticeably dragging ass, but inside you sort of feel like a little to the left.

16:36

Think about when you first used to smoke weed, right?

You smoked weed and the next day you were kind of off a little for the next day or two because you were your body was just getting introduced to it.

Now 20-30 years later, you’re smoking weed and your body’s just gotten used to it.

16:52

So you don’t actually feel what the difference is the next day.

So even though you don’t have a hangover, you’re a little more rest rested.

Your brain is definitely a little more sluggish because all these receptors are, are like, it’s like they got home from a rave, you know?

17:09

And they’re just like, OK, make it stop for a bit.

And then you get like 9 hours in the day where you’re like, OK, I’m good.

And the receptors have time to rejuvenate.

And then the next thing you know, it’s not one O clock at night and they’re all like, OK, but I slept all day, we’re good.

Let’s now hit me up because I can’t get my dopamine fixed.

17:26

That’s basically what I think kind of happens or that’s the way that I would depict it as I’m explaining it because that seems to, you have to visualize it sometimes I do.

So a lot of a lot of users when they stop cold Turkey, they’re going to go, they’re going to have some what they call withdrawal symptoms.

17:45 – Managing Cannabis Withdrawal Symptoms vs. Everyday Life

Now, I have a little disagreement with calling this stuff withdrawal symptoms because like, listen to this.

This is what withdrawal symptoms are OK?

Irritability and anger, aggression, lack of appetite, anxiety and nervousness, depression, insomnia and disturbing dreams, vivid dreams, nightmares that make you feel like you’re actually going to die there, you know?

18:11

But other than the disturbing dreams, insomnia and depression, OK, the irritability and anger, aggression, lack of appetite, anxiety and nervousness, isn’t that just like everyday life?

Like, like, don’t, don’t most people just go through life trying to manage that anyway, sober?

18:31

So like, as potheads, does that make us a little weaker?

Because those aren’t really symptoms.

Those are just momentary emotions you know, that you have to relearn to manage because you’ve been managing it with the ganja for way too long.

18:47

And now your brain’s all, I don’t know what to do, man.

And now your brain’s got to sort itself out.

And that takes a few days.

I noticed that within about 3 days I kind of hit back to my baseline where not having weed I stopped.

19:05

I gradually slowly stopped worrying about having weed.

Now at first I was a little panicked because I did like I did smoke it before bed because I felt like I got a better rest.

Here’s the thing when I was on vacation, yes we were doing more too.

So I was more tired at the end of the day and we were in the sun a lot.

19:21

But one of the things was I didn’t have a problem sleeping and it wasn’t like I switched weed for booze.

I just, I just didn’t have weed and then some nights I had like 4 cappuccinos a day or espressos, cappuccinos, cappuccinos.

19:39

I had four cappuccinos a day.

Dude.

I was like wired.

I don’t have a cappuccino at 3:00 in the afternoon.

Still go to bed at like 10.

OK, so don’t tell me you can’t sleep because quite honestly, you can’t sleep.

You just, I think that a lot of people when they get into the tea break mode, right, they are just very worried about not having weed.

20:02

I think that you have a mental connection to that weed and your your your mental connection is making you think that you need it.

Some people get a physical dependency.

I understand that.

I’m not trying to diminish it.

I’m just saying that I think most of that part of it is mental because think about it this way.

20:22

Weed is legal in Canada.

If you take a break, there’s going to be more.

There used to be a time when it wasn’t going to be that way.

Like there was no chance in hell that you were going to get, you know, more weed if you took a tea break because who knows?

People could crack down on it.

Your dealer could go bust.

20:38

Like he could take off and be like, I’m not selling weight anymore and you’re out.

You know, that’s not the case.

You can literally go to any, almost any corner store in Canada and pick up some weed.

Like there’s an abundance, dude.

You can always find some.

So you just have to kind of tell yourself that like, hey, it’s OK, the weed’s not going anywhere.

20:57

So if I take a 10 day break, I’ll just go get weed later, you know?

But too many people, too many people get caught up in in the worry of having weed or not having weed, sorry, or running out of weed or whatever.

21:14

So I think that that plays into it.

But I think that’s a mental thing.

I don’t think that’s a physical addiction thing.

I think that some people want to use say that it’s a mental or sorry, a physical addiction thing when realistically it’s not.

You just kind of got to find other things that occupy your time and your focus, you know?

21:31

But yeah, if you were wondering what was going to happen if you quit weed cold Turkey and you were trying to prepare for like a 10 day excursion on the on the Tea Break express and try to reset your reset your baseline, which I think is a good idea.

21:48

As a guy who smoked, who has smoked weed consistently every day for like fuck over 20 years, no, 20 years, about 20 years, I would say that one of the best things I could rediscover is taking a tea break, even though it was inadvertent.

Over the last little while, I’ve slowly been smoking less and less in terms of every day.

22:10

So now I’ll go a couple days between smoke sessions, right?

And then if I do this podcast, I’ll smoke a little more while I’m on there.

But overall, I’ve kind of mitigated the amount of weed that I’m smoking on an overtly regular basis just because I’m old and it’s probably time to settle it down a bit, you know?

22:42

But I highly recommend it because I feel like as weed smokers, we just get so norm with the whole being high and thinking that the high is helping us with all our mental ailments and all that fun stuff.

I think that we forget that we at one point in life didn’t always need this to to, to, you know, maintain.

23:01

And as a recreational user, I’ll say that as a recreational user, yeah, we didn’t.

We don’t really, we put too much emphasis on trying to use weed to maintain.

So I think it’s a good idea that sometimes we take a tea break maybe every, you know, couple months or so for a couple weeks just to kind of get back to basics, get back to the baseline of, of what it was like.

23:24

Because don’t you notice now that you like, you don’t giggle?

There’s really no giggle factor anymore unless you find some like really crazy strain.

Back in the day when you first started smoking it, it was almost like every time you hit the joint, you couldn’t stop giggling.

When you take a tea break for two weeks or longer, you start to hit that baseline again where if you smoke a couple things, you say some dumb shit and you giggle a lot.

23:45

OK, so if you’re looking for the giggle, take a tea break.

If you find that you’re basically living in the haze and you’re and you just you kind of feel off, maybe take a tea break.

That might be time.

But because of the receptors in your brain regarding dopamine and serotonin, if you take that tea break and you have an angry brain, your angry brain is going to scare the shit out of you.

24:10

OK, So be aware of that.

If you have like a, a brain like mine that’s a little off to the left, sometime one night you might get scared.

The next night you might be chasing, chased by a giant gummy bear.

You might be getting, you know, eaten by like a a sloth.

24:26

I don’t know.

But I do know that when you’re in that dreamscape, it’s going to be very vivid.

You’re going to feel like you can interact with it.

You’re going to feel like you can’t get away.

OK?

Don’t be terrified.

It’s not the end of the world.

It will be all right.

24:42

You will wake up.

That’s all I have to say about that.

OK, So, yeah, just take a tea break every now and then.

Get yourself back to baseline.

Because then once you get to baseline, let me tell you, it takes a it takes a few days, but you don’t need to smoke as much.

So like, you can actually conserve weed.

24:59

And if you don’t overdo it, like when I got back from my vacation, I had a bong hit and I filled the bowl wasn’t it’s one of those small little, you know, like funnel style bowls.

So I put a little in there, I lit it, I made sure it was all burning.

I took the hit.

25:14

It’s not a big bong, it’s a little bong.

So it’s just like A1 little one hitter.

I took that hit.

I was like, oh, that’s delicious.

I really like that.

So I hit it again.

I didn’t even pack repack the bowl.

I just smoked a red like a bit more of the bowl and after I took that hit, maybe about 45 minutes later, I was staring off into space like I was floating through the cosmos.

25:36

Dude, my brain was out there.

It was gone.

Like I had no thoughts.

OK, so like if you to and that’s not even probably a gram.

It was probably like half gram and I was just boom gone.

And the weed was not overly strong.

It was sort of middle of the road weed.

25:52

So a tea break can do a lot of things for you.

It can reset your baseline.

It helps your brain and your mind allow the filing and and organization of the memories from the day and the things that your subconscious is worrying is worrying about or, or thinking about and trying to resolve in your life.

26:26

So let that happen because weed, as we all know, just keeps asking questions about why this is this and why do we feel like this and why do I like that?

You know, there’s no end result with weed.

You might go back, go down a thought path and be like, oh, that’s crazy.

26:41

But the weed is always asking why, Why do I get along with it?

Why do I accept it?

Why there’s no real definitive.

Like, I do this now because as soon as you think that when you’re smoking, the weed goes, yeah, but what about this?

So I think you need the shut off of the weed sometimes so that your brain can then reorganize all of its conscious and subconscious thoughts so that it can, you know, make you a relatively regular member of society.

27:09

Because you don’t necessarily realize how far off the path you are until you get off the path.

And then you’re like, whoa, what happened there?

Dude, You went way left.

So take a tea break.

Expect crazy visions and dreams.

Enjoy them.

27:26

Like, I mean, realistically, it’s a new experience, right?

So just enjoy them because it’s your, your it’s your psyche coming back to you like a like a kid and be like, hey, come here and look at me, you know?

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t.

29:14

OK, so the terp profile is 8 point.

Five.

No, Yeah. 8.5% You got limonene, carophylline and linalool as the top three terps.

It’s 76.8%.

THC so one.

29:31

Of the things about live resin is that live resin is always a little bit.

It’s lower in percentage, but it is it’s a little stronger in the high because it’s more natural.

A distillate is, is more manufactured.

29:48

It’s it’s a different form of extraction, whereas I feel like live resin is a little bit more natural.

It stays to.

It’s like original.

It stays more true to its original product.

But this one is.

30:04

Really good.

I enjoy it because it’s a it’s an indica that gives you a little fun before it makes you have a little nap.

You know what I’m saying?

It’s a good time.

It’s a good one to smoke as a treat after you’ve created after you’ve completed your tea break.

30:25

Yeah.

So if you’re.

Going to get something for tribal.

They’re a little more expensive because they’re live resin, but they’re totally worth it.

They last a little longer.

The high itself lasts a little longer.

The example is if you are smoking a distillate, let’s say you get high for like 45 minutes to an hour.

30:42

This high, you could potentially feel the effects for like an hour and a half, two hours kind of thing.

If it’s really good, it’ll last longer than that.

But generally that’s where you know, if you’re, if you’re still feeling it a little bit two hours later, that’s a good solid cart.

It’s kind of like diamonds.

30:58

Diamonds are a rush of high and then they sort of like teeter out after a bit.

Live resin like these ones, I feel like what they do is they just continue the high and ride it right out.

It’s kind of a nice little, it’s like a blanket of high that just stays, keeps you all cozy and happy, you know, And you don’t have to re up your dopamine and serotonin levels as often as you do with some of the other stuff.

31:28

So if you’re going.

To get a new cart or you’re looking for something that’s got some flavor and a really wicked high, Definitely go for the tribal galactic runts if you can find it.

Again, it’s an indica, so if you don’t like indicas, don’t get it because you will be more relaxed, your brains a little more clear, but your body’s definitely more.

31:45

33:36

Your lids low baby.

At the end of the day, understanding the connection between weed and vivid dreams is the best way to handle the intensity of a tolerance break. While the ‘REM Rebound’ might feel like a trip through a Freddy Krueger movie, it’s actually a sign that your brain is resetting and finding its baseline again. Whether you’re chasing the ‘giggle factor’ or just clearing out the mental haze, taking a tea break is a powerful tool for any enthusiast. Don’t let the wild dreams keep you from the reset you need—just keep your lids low, stay thoughtful, and I’ll see you in the next sesh.
