However, research into cannabis and sleep is still limited and the results vary: they depend on the dose, the frequency of use and the individual. There is no solid evidence to recommend it as a treatment for insomnia.<\/p>\n<h2>Effects on dreams<\/h2>\n<p>It is common for regular users to remember less of what they dream about. When they stop using, many find that their dreams become more intense or vivid for a while.
