Im a 52 year old male and I just became a pot head !

I live in Canada were a possession of a few joints for personal use will not
result in a criminal record but a fine (New Law ).
My regular doctor works for a clinic run by an hospital.I always have suffered
from insonmia but nothing like the last
few months .My normal cycle lately is to stay awake all night for 3 nights and
then collapse from exaustion on the
fourth night .My regular doctor does not believe In prescribing
Benzodiazepines like ativan,halcion ,or valium ,etc.
I have bugged my doctor about insomnia for a long time.He suggested drugs
like seroquel for Insomnia.Seroquel (100 mg ) . Seroquel , in larger dosages,
is used to treat schyzophrenics , who see demons in their rooms ,hear
voices ,think they are God ,etc .I suffer none of the delusions
as previously listed . Seroquel works well for insomnia ,but turns you
into vegetable. You lose the ability to cocentrate as far reading technical
books ,following the plot of a Agatha Christie like movies .I was reduced
to watching the cartoon channel.
I cant stand seroquel,and have stopped taking it.
A friend who smokes the odd couple of joints on the weekends GAVE me me 2
joints.
I smoked both of them already . In each case I felt my legs go rubbery,and I
went to bed and slept like a baby for about 6 hours.
Last night I woke up and felt very hungry , I ordered a pizza from a late night
pizza store.
Years ago ,Halcion (2 pills ,0.25mg each )worked very well,but now , no doctor
will prescribe it anymore, I tried several docs .
Question : Why the bias against halcion ? I still believe that somebody that
drinks or smokes Marijuana and drives a car afterwards.
should be charged fully by the police.Whats is your advice ?
Peace to all , terence
