Cannabis has been used for millennia to help people get a good night’s sleep. However, only relatively recently has modern science discovered the physiological underpinnings that explain why in scientific terms.
The CannaKeys Insomnia treatment algorithm is based on review and analysis of scientific literature and clinical expert opinion. Focused on aspects that can be controlled in the clinical setting, it is designed to be used as a tool for creating optimal cannabinoid-based therapeutics for Insomnia patients while managing the complexities of the endocannabinoid system.

Evidence-based Guidelines for Cannabis Therapeutics
We offer a systematic approach that physicians and healthcare professionals can use to make evidence-based decisions when prescribing cannabinoids to treat insomnia. Factors that can make a significant difference in optimizing patient outcomes include the choice of a primary cannabinoid, specific dosing protocols, and the form of administration.
Screening Process
Includes risk assessment, possible contraindications, and potential cannabinoid-to-pharmaceutical drug interactions.
Cannabinoid Treatment Plan
Dosing protocol includes starting dose, maximum daily dose, and titration rates for the primary cannabinoid, secondary and tertiary cannabinoids to treat difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, and sleep quality.
Cannabis-based Terpenes
Terpenes with therapeutic potential for the treatment of insomnia with links to clinical studies.
Nutraceuticals and Supplements
All relevant herbs and nutraceuticals that interact with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) or the broader endocannabinoidome (eCBome) with clinical evidence for treating insomnia.
Microbiome and Dietary Considerations
All dietary considerations and food products that engage the microbiome and interact with the ESC or eCBome with clinical evidence for treating insomnia and related sleep disorders.
