Depending on your comfort level with cannabis, you could start on a 1:1 ratio tincture. Also, if you are going to smoke or vape, finding the right strain is important. I would recommend a tincture for daily use and then finding a strain(s) that work best for whatever acute symptoms you are experiencing.\n\ndneice","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6870-markdown","title":"what is a good strain for bad ptsd, severe anxiety and arthritus please Thanks","slug":"what-is-a-good-strain-for-bad-ptsd-severe-anxiety-and-arthritus-please-thanks","content":"\n_____________________\nI would consider CBD-rich flowers and medications for PTSD, anxiety, and arthritis! Cannabidiol is both an anxiolytic (an anti-anxiety agent) and an inflammation fighter so you should find the most benefit from CBD when addressing these 3 ailments. If you'd rather consume medications not in flower format, consider CBD-rich tinctures as an option. Many patients find benefit from our Moxie Meds Recovery 4:1 specifically for PTSD, anxiety, and arthritis. Patients are likely to get the most pain control from equal parts CBD to THC, so if the arthritis pain is getting more severe, consider our Relief 1:1 for your increased pain moments.\n\njessicapeters","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6784-markdown","title":"Cannabis recommendations for anxiety and back pain?","slug":"cannabis-recommendations-for-anxiety-and-back-pain","content":"\"I have been approved to buy medical use cannibas but I don't know where to start.

Thoughts?\"\n_____________________\nI think this a great place to start! The sweet releaf products work very well for my lower back pain and the CBD tinctures should be great for your anxiety. I have not tried too many of the humboldt products to specifically comment, but I do prefer CO2 vapor pens as they are very convenient. I do not imagine that you will be disappointed with this selection.\n\nryan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6782-markdown","title":"is cbd good for anxiety","slug":"is-cbd-good-for-anxiety","content":"\n_____________________\nThat is a great question. We recently posted an article regarding this. A 2011 study published in Neuro pyscho pharmacology showed that CBD was extremely beneficial for patients with social anxiety disorder. Does it work for everyone? No. It may be worth a try though. CBD tends to calm the system although it can make som people feel tired.\n\nHere is the article so you can learn more:\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/top-10-high-cbd-marijuana-strains-for-anxiety\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6763-markdown","title":"Can CBD be taken with Celexa?","slug":"can-cbd-be-taken-with-celexa","content":"\"A young autistic man with anxiety and depression who has had a tragedy in his life (death of his mother) is taking Celexa for depression.

I have been using edibles for sleep and anxiety only in ghe evening. Lately I have had slight twitching/pulsing sensation in both eyes from time to time. I have a pretty hectic work schedule but have been on vacation resting for a week, so I don't know if it's stress or fatigue or if it's connected to marijuana. And, of course, if it is something to be concerned about. Just wanted to see if this was a common symptom.\"\n_____________________\nEyelid twitching is actually quite common.  If you have never had this before it is often associated with stress, lack of sleep, caffeine, alcohol, allergies or sporadic and is benign.  If other parts of your body also begin twitching with muscle weakness you may want to get this looked into. Side effects of cannabis; however, can be muscle twitching.  Therefore see if you can make the association with any of the benign causes or when you are using cannabis.\n\ndrb","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6670-markdown","title":"family member suffering from schizophrenia since 19","slug":"family-member-suffering-from-schizophrenia-since-19","content":"\"1. My nephew has been battling schizophrenia since he was 19. He also has bipolar disorder. He's now 30 years old. He's been smoking marijuana since that time to cope with the symptoms. Unfortunately his lungs have become so inflamed, that he's developed a severe case of bronchitis and coughs constantly. Are there any alternative options to smoking, that would be easier on the lungs? Right now he says he cannot literally live without the marijuana, but unless he stops smoking it, he will lose his home this month.\n\n2. During these past 11 years, he's also grown more and more depressed and anxious. He's on many medications, including antipsychotics, and currently added antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds in the past 3-4 months. Can you recommend any types of cannabis that could alleviate the emotional suffering?\n\n3. He lives in Minnesota. If he were approved for medical marijuana through your consultation, would he have to travel to an approved MM state to purchase the marijuana recommended? If so, could he bring that purchase back to Minnesota? Then for each subsequent refill, would that require another trip back to the approved state?\n\n4. In addition to marijuana, would you recommend cognitive behavioral therapy? We're wondering if a mixed approached to care would help. \n\nThank you for your time and knowledge on this serious medical matter.\"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6649-markdown","title":"insomnia and anxiety products like insomni relief tincture","slug":"insomnia-and-anxiety-products-like-insomni-relief-tincture","content":"\n_____________________\nWe have quite a few members that have anxiety and insomnia issues together and what I have seen that has worked quite well is a high CBD tincture for the anxiety issue and an nice Indica THC tincture for sleep, many take both CBD and THC at bedtime and keep the CBD dose higher than the THC with no psychoactive effects...just nice deep sleep.

Can cannabis help me?","slug":"i-have-severe-anxiety-can-cannabis-help-me","content":"\"I have severe anxiety, it is to the point where I can't even cope with daily life. It's been this way for many many years now. Would this be a good route to go down and what would help the most?  any suggestions or ideas? \"\n_____________________\nI have severe migraines ,Nerve damage hit by a car. I am in a wheelchair and need pain relief and help me sleep.\n\nogegerry\n_____________________\nI hear you; living with severe anxiety is very, very taxing.\n\nThe best possible thing that cannabis offers for anxiety is CBD. CBD helps with anxiety by balancing our brain's reaction to stress without psychoactive effects. Most people find that CBD is relaxing, but some feel that it is energizing, so it's best to start with a low dose of CBD, and slowly increase it until you find a dose that works for you.\n\nSome people do better if they include some THC from an Indica strain, and small doses can make a big difference. Many anxiety patients take CBD during the day, and then include a little Indica THC at night to help with sleep. \n\nThere are many ways to get your CBD and THC. Smoking or vaping work very quickly, but the effect lasts only a few hours. Edibles last much longer, but it can be difficult to control the dosage. The Capsule Cooperative carries a tested 10mg CBD capsule that would be a good starting place for you, as well as a capsule with 5mg CBD and 5mg THC that could be helpful at night. We have 7 capsule sample sizes, so you can try a few different dosages without breaking your bank.\n\nAs a person with anxiety, it's very important to avoid Sativa strains of cannabis. Sativas are energizing for most, but if you are already anxious they can send you through the roof. \n\nBecause everyone has a different response to cannabis, it may take you a few tries to find something that will work well for you. Don't get discouraged; there are so many forms of cannabis to choose from, as well as methods of delivery, you can try a lot of different kinds until something works. Just remember to start small, and avoid Sativas.\n\nartemiscrow","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11480-markdown","title":"Hi! I have the 4:1 and wonder how much you recommend for daily microdosing? For inflammation/anxiety","slug":"hi-i-have-the-4-1-and-wonder-how-much-you-recommend-for-daily-microdosing-for-inflammation-anxiety","content":"\n_____________________\nI love the approach of daily microdosing with cannabis and especially with CBD-rich medications. With the goals of reducing both inflammation and anxiety, daily microdosing with Recovery 4:1 is a perfect choice. While dosing is of course somewhat dependent on individual response and tolerance, I'd consider just 1-2 drops (not droppers full) 2-3 times a day. If you know you are particularly sensitive, even 1 drop 2-3 times a day is a great way to get the most benefit out of your medication. Microdosing is best with lower dosing, of course, but also greater frequency. We find that 2-3 times a day is ideal to keep your medication metabolizing regularly and maximize the therapeutic properties of inflammation and anxiety reduction.\n\njessicapeters","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11458-markdown","title":"I am treating my anxiety with medical cannabis currently. Are there known emotional side-effects?","slug":"i-am-treating-my-anxiety-with-medical-cannabis-currently-are-there-known-emotional-side-effects","content":"\n_____________________\nYou did not mention what kind of medical cannabis you are using. When I'm treating a patient with anxiety, I doing courage that they start with small but frequent doses of concentrated CBD oil in a tincture that you place under the tongue or a spray in the mouth and Indica may be used at bedtime because it has higher CBD. It takes approximately 3 weeks before you start feeling the full effects of CBD and the calming it can produce but it is working and getting rid of inflammatory cells. You must be very careful with Sativa since the high THC content can greatly increase your anxiety even to the point of a panic attack. I encourage patients to avoid high THC until they have been on CBD for approximately 2 months and then you can bring in a mild Sativa by taking CBD in the morning, a mild Sativa in the afternoon and return to high CBD when you're thinking about bedtime. The high CBD after a Sativa will join with the higher THC to make an Indica in your body and you will sleep well but do not take an Indica after a Sativa otherwise or you may have a party going on in your head all night. \nIn addition, please eliminate all free glutamates in your diet since they are neurologically toxic and can produce anxiety. You can read about free glutamate or glutamic acid at www.truthinlabeling.org\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11394-markdown","title":"What is the CBD/THC ratio for anti-anxiety drops that won't get you high?","slug":"what-is-the-cbd-thc-ratio-for-anti-anxiety-drops-that-wont-get-you-high","content":"\n_____________________\nIt depends on your definition of \"high\", and each person is different, but generally a ratio of 30:1 CBD:THC and up will not cause psychoactive effects or issues with short term memory. The other cannabinoids and terpenes will also have an effect on the psychoactivity. Try a small dose and wait for an hour and adjust the dose accordingly.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":156,"numPages":19,"currentPage":14,"id":4953,"name":"Anxiety","slug":"anxiety","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
