Minnesota lists obstructive sleep apnea explicitly. In most other states, insomnia qualifies indirectly: through physician-discretion standards, or because it accompanies a listed condition like chronic pain, PTSD, or anxiety.
Patients commonly use THC or balanced products to shorten time-to-sleep. Tolerance can develop with nightly THC use, and morning grogginess is possible at higher doses — a physician can help structure a sustainable routine.
If insomnia is your main concern, be ready to describe duration, prior treatments (sleep hygiene, medication), and any underlying causes during your evaluation.
