Question by Brandon: My brother has an marijuana addiction and cannot find a solution to his insomnia/back pain. Please help.?
So my brother came back from college and my parents found out he has been using his medical marijuana license to buy marijuana for his back pains and his insomnia that almost seems incurable on account of the 15+ different kinds of medications he has tried. He knows his drugs very well and does constant research on what is prescribed to him. Everything but marijuana in his case is dangerous or bad to him. For example: He was prescribed ambien, which he read causes nightmares in his dreams. On other medications, common side effects specifically written on the bottle are seizures and increased diabetes, etc. He has tried all kinds of prescribed drugs that the doctor gives him but he claims that none work, and he is afraid of the side effects that most of the medications are said to give. He says he will give up on the marijuana if he can find something that works. He isn’t using it as of now because my parents are not in favor of him using marijuana. They think he is using it just to get high. What can you guys recommend for my brother to help cure his back pains and his insomnia? He constantly cannot fall asleep night after night. My family is falling apart and I want my family to be together again. Please help my brother. Thanks for reading and I hope to get some helpful answers. No hurtful comments please.

He has also tried other natural substances such as melatonin. I am curious to see what effect kava has on him. Anyway please help. Thank you.
