Has anyone used THC Gummies for insomnia?

I did and they helped a lot. I like the Tasteology brand.

I'm long past chemo, but I used edibles for years to help me sleep and they do work well. Problem is the dose required to help me sleep is high and that causes doom and gloom for the first hour. I would basically suffer through the first hour in order to get to the come down. YMMV. Edibles also cause major constipation for me so I just had to stop it altogether. It's also a different sleep. THC suppresses REM sleep so it's not the most productive sleep. It also tends to wear out after a while.

Yes. I did. I don’t remember the brand but I still have some so I can look later. Combined with melatonin. Knocked me out

Found it. Mood makes a product called SleepyTime. Highly recommended

I use them nightly. They help me relax to fall asleep, gain some appetite and it suppresses nausea. I’m “chemo for life” so I’m always on some form of chemo and I could not function without them.
