If you're referring to CBD oil (cannabidiol ) or hemp oil, which is contained in marijuana, then I doubt it would do anything to ease jet lag. I would frequently smoke a joint after a long flight to Thailand, and, with the exception of giving me a buzz and the desire to devour 10 bags of potato chips in a single sitting, it did very little to ease the jet lag.

The best cure for jet lag is to get drunk on your first night after the long flight...bounce around on the bed with a naked brown boy...and then sleep the entire next day. Works like a charm.

I take a gummy bear once in a while, and can't really see it helping with jet lag. Gives you a nice mellow buzz, but can't see it really helping you fall asleep unless you're already tired. Your mileage may differ though.

It's actually quite handy marijuana is legal now. At the local strip mall, just between the bank and a subway is a weed store.

Dodger, totally agree with you! 'Get drunk and ....'


Google CBD and jet lag turns up a number of interesting articles including a guy flying from Chiang Mai to the US:

Agree to USA takes ~30 hours and only one time could I hey more than 10 minutes of sleep sitting upright in a plane seat.
I arrive looking like death.

Then with all the excitement I get about 4-5 hours sleep the first day there.
Next time I am going to be rocking Benadryl (Valium/Diphenhydramine HCl).
Sleep like a baby.

I would think the last thing on anyone's mind would be JET LAG....14 days in hotel quarantine.......the expense of it......getting the vaccine shot......getting a flight either in or out of the country....seems the jet lag is not so important....

14 days of solitude in a hotel should be plenty of time to get over jet lag.
Surely in 6 months time things will begin to change, hopefully for the better.
But I know Thailand will be a couple months behind us in vaccinations.

It's 15 nights.

I didn't sleep well during quarantine, which was unexpected.
The bed was comfy. I got up between 7:45 and 8:30 every day. Walked at least a mile by 10:00 am, plus a few more miles later in the day. Drank less coffee than normal and had melatonin from those very efficient people at iHerb. The melatonin normally helps the jet lag problem.

The first night out of quarantine, no problem.

I believe a board member quarantining in another country didn't sleep too well either.

Never have noticed the slightest effect from melatonin.
I prefer Benadryl/diphenhydramine as a sleep aid occasionally.
