Summary
This small pilot study tested whether cannabis oil (with different ratios of CBD to THC) could help with insomnia in people who also have major depression. Fourteen adults took either a high-CBD oil, a low-CBD oil, or a placebo for a short time. The main goal was to see if a larger study is possible, and to check for any sleep improvements and side effects.
