Also bought CBD oil -  does not help it gives me asthma feeling.\"\n_____________________\nHi, there are many people who don't get results using CBD at nighttime for sleep, that is the feedback I get from alot of my members. Have you tried more than 10mg of the Indica edible? I would suggest trying a High THC indica tincture, you can start with a low dose and increase until you get the desired result, you might need more than 10 mg. Some people are very sensitive to THC and only need 2-3mg while others might need 15mg...everyone is different so there is no one size fits all. Be willing to experiment with dosing and delivery methods.\n\nPiantaTinta","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7863-markdown","title":"What are the best marijuana strains or hybrids to relieve asthma and COPD lung congestion?","slug":"what-are-the-best-marijuana-strains-or-hybrids-to-relieve-asthma-and-copd-lung-congestion","content":"\n_____________________\nIn my clinical experience Hemp CBD extract Liposomes have been amazing in their relief and recovery from asthma and symptoms of COPD. Based on the preclinical research CBD should STOP COPD from progressing because it stops the inflammation in the lung and protects the alveolar cells. It also relaxes the smooth muscles around the bronchiolar airways to improve air flow. My clients were using only 10-15 mg of this product per day. In fact a health plan administrator personally used CBD to resolve his asthma. Now he is on a low maintenance dose.\n\ndrblair","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9583-markdown","title":"I understand cannabis can be used for asthma. How do I find the right strain?","slug":"i-understand-cannabis-can-be-used-for-asthma-how-do-i-find-the-right-strain","content":"\n_____________________\nIt may be difficult to find the \"perfect\" strain, but what many new users miss is that most strains are actually very similar in how the cannibinoids affects your wellness. The mental feelings may differ drastically and there is a significant different between sativa and indica, but past that things start to smooth out for many illnesses. This is because many of them are mostly helped by either THC or CBD.\n\nCurrently there is not a lot of research on specific strains, just a lot of evidence that cannabinoids can help your lungs to open up. Since cannabis has such a low risk for patients, I would recommend vaporizing a hybrid cannabis strain. Try asking your budtender for a nice middle of the road strain that does not have the properties to cause you anxiety (just in case you are prone to those types of feelings)\n\nryan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7458-markdown","title":"I have asthma, so I vape.

I only use it with cannibis; never concentrates.  On occasion, if I've used it a lot, I experience some wheezing.  (I have asthma which is aggravated by dairy and a few airborne pollens.)  However, when I'm actually under the influence, my asthma is much, much better.  Is using my Firefly possibly causing a longer term issue for my lungs, or is this just a short term irritation, or what?\"\n_____________________\nFirefly vaporizers require a much longer draw than a quick bowl hit, so the vapor goes much deeper into your lungs. This can quite possibly irritate your asthma more, but not nearly as damaging as smoke would be. From my experience, smoke is very irritating to the throat and lungs, where vapor creates slight discomfort in the lungs, but for a shorter time.\n\nbasecomputer\n_____________________\nABV, already been vaped,  is excellent for cooking. Still has some cannabanoids that can be extracted. I mix with coconut oil, simmer on stove for one hour, strain through cheesecloth, use like any cooking oil. 20 g ABV in 125 ml (1/2 cup) oil used in any brownie mix. Delicious.  Quite potent. Body high. Great for dessert, in the evening.\n\nfrednh\n_____________________\nUse of the FF2 with Asthma is a major Plus for you. And having imbibed a Bud or Two. Cannabis done by Vaping is totally the Best there is to be had.\n\ndale\n_____________________\nI found the firefly 1 made me wheeze. I would also cough up green phlegm., (ooo not nice). I was convinced that the problem was due to me breathing in tiny particulates of plant material. In the end i sold the firefly 1 for this reason. \n\nMy prayers have been answered with the firefly 2! They have a particulate filter in the mouth piece - which is also removable. Although i have not tried the FF2 i already have an order in. Firefly have really listened to their customers on the feedback they gave on the original model. Later i am sure third parties (and maybe firefly themselves) will bring out aftermarket mouthpieces which will further cool the vapor. Also i am sure it wont be long before someone brings out a water pipe adapter. \n\nUntil that point there is another trick. Use your mouth like a carb. As well as sucking on the vaporizer have a gap at the side of your mouth. Then when you pull your be pulling in air and vapor simultaneously. This will help to cool things down and make it easier on your lungs.\n\noddjobold","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10579-markdown","title":"I suffer from asthma. Is marijuana something that could help me?","slug":"i-suffer-from-asthma-is-marijuana-something-that-could-help-me","content":"\n_____________________\nI have never heard of cannabis being good for asthma. Is this really something that could help you? If you find out, please let our community know what your preferred method of treatment is.\n\nmark\n_____________________\nAccording to a British study in 2014 marijuana may have the same effect on airways as asthma medication. Here is the study:\r\n\r\nhttp://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bph.12597/abstract\r\n\r\nApparently, THC can block muscle contractions which signals a molecule called acetycholine.\r\nAcetycholine helps maintain muscle tone of the airways and also helps contractions during an asthma attack. A professor at UCLA first discovered marijuana’s effect as a bronchodilator back in 1973.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, smoking can irritate the respiratory tissue and can cause inflammation especially with chronic use. Also, if you do not know what is in your cannabis (via lab testing) there may be some toxic irritants in there that you are not aware of. Due to this, many people prefer to vaporize. So while it is counter intuitive, it does seem that studies have shown that it may have a positive effect. \r\n\r\nThere is a flip side however, as there are many opponents of using cannabis for asthma as well.\r\nHere are some additional articles to check out:\r\n\r\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/marijuana-asthma-can-it-help\r\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/asthma-patients-may-breathe-easier-with-cannabis\r\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/marijuana-your-lungs-should-you-be-worried\r\n\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nThat's a good question. Asthma is a lung disease that causes a person’s airways to narrow and swell during an attack, which leads to wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing. If not managed, attacks can be fatal. Even in the medical community, there has long been debate over whether or not cannabis is helpful for asthma patients when smoked. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease and cannabis is a known anti-inflammatory, so could the benefits outweigh the smoking risk? Studies on the pro side cite THC’s ability to dilate respiratory passages and inhibit coughing as factors that make it beneficial for some patients. Turns out, cannabis actually does the opposite of tobacco smoke in that it expands, rather than constricts bronchial passageways.\n\nWhen the only way to smoke cannabis was in bud form and burn it, the concern was the ash etc that was generated and could that be harmful to asthmatics. Since the advent of vaporizers those concerns are eliminated. So the THC, CBD and THC-V that seem to be most helpful to help dilate the small passages in the lungs, seem to be able to help without those effects. Doctors have been surprised to see their patients get almost immediate relief from asthma attacks after smoking cannabis. The response can be as effective as the most commonly prescribed inhalers, but without the complications of corticosteroids, which can include high blood pressure, anxiety, and depression among other severe side effects. Another concern that has been somewhat answered is that studies seem to show that cannabis use does not appear to increase the risk of lunk cancer that is found in smoking tobacco products.\n\nWhen you are using it for asthma, it seems that a low THC percentage cannabis product works the best in the range of 2-3% and in a vaporizer device.\n\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nCBD cannabis does tend to help asthma because CBD cannabis does tend to stop the inflammatory cells in the body and dehydration and inflammation tends to trigger asthma if prone to this disease. CBD also tends to relax muscle spasms and in an asthma attack the muscles do tend to spasm restricting the bronchi so using CBD regularly does tend to have a positive impact but don't use CBD like a rescue drug to get you out of an acute asthmatic attack. Using CBD regularly will also reduce any anxiety that may trigger an asthmatic attack.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nThere are many strains such as Purple cheese, Silver Kush and much more.
