","slug":"how-do-you-make-cannabis-suppositories-and-or-topical-creams-from-medical-oil-concentrate","content":"\"I'd love to hear your experiences with making your own marijuana preparations.\"\n_____________________\nI have used this recipe before:\nUsing cannabis oil suppositories with the same dosage amounts as oral ingestion is another way that cannabis oil can be taken to treat cancer. Some people believe suppositories may get cannabis oil into your bloodstream better than orally taking the oil. To make a batch of cannabis oil suppositories you would want to start with 100 grams of cocoa butter for every 1-2 grams of cannabis oil. (YOU CAN CLICK HERE TO GET COCOA BUTTER) First you will need to melt your cocoa butter. This can be easily done by putting the cocoa butter in a stainless container and use a gentle heating device like a candle warmer to melt it.  Next add your cannabis oil to the melted cocoa butter while on the heating device. Stir the melted cocoa butter/cannabis oil mixture together so that the oil is evenly mixed throughout. Next you pour the warm mixture into suppository molds that can be purchased online.  Let them cool at room temperature. You want to start with 1-2 grams of cannabis oil per 100 grams of cocoa butter. This is a good starting point so the suppositories are not too strong. You can then increase the cannabis oil according to how much the patient needs or can tolerate. You will work towards being able to take as much oil per suppository as you would take orally.  Cannabis oil suppositories can be used when the cancer is in the lower part of the body like the bowel, prostate or anus.  Getting the oil as close to the cancer as possible is a great idea.\n\nPiantaTinta","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10012-markdown","title":"Is CBN the best marijuana product when all you want is to go to sleep -- no other impact?","slug":"is-cbn-the-best-marijuana-product-when-all-you-want-is-to-go-to-sleep-no-other-impact","content":"\n_____________________\nyes but don't expect the cbn to be very high. 0.25%:CBN could be plenty with a balanced cannabinoid profile from a nice full term indica heavy flower.\nthe flowers thc or cbd % will always be higher than the cbn's.\n\nsoosti","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10009-markdown","title":"How do you get a medical marijuana card in New York state?","slug":"how-do-you-get-a-medical-marijuana-card-in-new-york-state","content":"\"What are the qualifying conditions?\"\n_____________________\nThe best place to start would be here......\nhttps://www.health.ny.gov/regulations/medical_marijuana/patients/\n\nandrewvanmd\n_____________________\nThere are four main steps to obtaining a medical marijuana card in New York. \n\n1. Find a registered practitioner. In New York, only doctors and licensed nurse practitioners that are registered with the state's medical marijuana program can issue cannabis certifications.\n\n2. Have a qualifying condition. Only patients with one of these serious, debilitating, or life-threatening conditions may qualify for medical marijuana: cancer, HIV-positive or AIDS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), damage to the nervous tissue of the spinal cord with objective neurological indication of intractable spasticity, epilepsy, inflammatory bowel disease (IBS), neuropathy, chronic pain as defined by 10 NYCRR ss 1004.2(a)(i)(xi), or Huntington's disease. Patients must also have one of the following associated or complicating conditions: cachexia (wasting syndrome), severe or chronic pain, severe nausea, seizures, or severe or persistent muscle spasms.\n\n3. Register. Once certified by a registered practitioner that you qualify for a medical marijuana certification, you need to register on the New York State Medical Marijuana Program's website. You'll need to provide proof your identity and residency. Once your registration is processed, you will be mailed a registry identification card. \n\nOnce you have completed these steps, you will be able to visit a registered marijuana dispensing facility to purchase medical marijuana products. \n\nIt's important to note that New York does not accept medical marijuana certifications or recommendations from other states.\n\nashleigh\n_____________________\nIn NYS, you must have one of the 11 qualifying conditions to be approved for a medical marijuana recommendation.  You must then be certified by a registered medical marijuana practitioner. Upon certification, you must login to https://my.ny.gov/ and click on the \"Health Applications\" icon and then click on the \"Medical Marijuana Data Management System\" link to register. Patients who do not have a ny.gov account will need to click the \"Don't Have An Account\" button to create a personal ny.gov ID before proceeding. Patients will be required to provide proof of their identity and residency during the application process. Required documents can be found on the NYDOH website.\n\nwendynp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10007-markdown","title":"Can cannabis be used to treat a sleep walking disorder?","slug":"can-cannabis-be-used-to-treat-a-sleep-walking-disorder","content":"\n_____________________\nSleepwalking, formally known as somnambulism, results in walking or performing other complex behaviors while asleep; it is much more common in children than in adults; and is much more likely to occur if a person is sleep deprived. Of course, as a very effective sleep aid, cannabis should help most people who are sleep deprived and therefore reduce the chance of a sleepwalking episode. \n\nHowever, unfortunately in regards to sleepwalking, cannabis extends the restorative deep stages of sleep (stage 3 and stage 4 sleep), which are the same stages sleepwalking most often occurs, thus increasing the chances of a sleepwalking episode.\n\nSimply put, cannabis' effect on sleeping patterns increases the chances of having a sleepwalking episode. Therefore, unfortunately, my opinion is that cannabis would not be a good choice as a treatment for sleepwalking.  \n\nFor more information on sleepwalking,\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sleepwalking/basics/treatment/con-20031795\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10004-markdown","title":"Can you recommend the best cannabis oil to treat secondary estrogen positive breast cancer?","slug":"can-you-recommend-the-best-cannabis-oil-to-treat-secondary-estrogen-positive-breast-cancer","content":"\n_____________________\nThis certainly seems like a very scary question that you're asking. Are you really asking for a cannabis oil to treat breast cancer that has reoccurred? \nYou can treat the symptoms with cannabis oil but I do not encourage you to treat cancer with Cannabis because there's no proof other than anecdotal stories (and that is not proof, only someone else's story) that cannabis may work.\nI have 45 licensed years experience doing integrated medicine and I do think many people have been led down the wrong road to believe that cannabis will cure their cancer but unfortunately I have watched too many of those people go on to suffer bad consequences.\nPlease, find an oncologist you can trust and fight the cancer with known Western medical treatments while supporting yourself with Cannabis for the symptoms.  \nWith current medical treatments for breast cancer there is a high rate of recovery or at least long remissions buying you time for a potential cure. You can never let down your guard when you have breast cancer because it can return as much is 30 years later.\nIf you have fear over further surgical and chemotherapy treatments, you must face your fears and walk-through them, do the treatments and hold intentions to survive. \nI had a tremendous fear of chemotherapy and it made my treatment much worse, so I had to have a talk with myself to change my attitude and my chemotherapy from that point on was very easy and I feel I will live a long healthy life as long as I do regular follow-up visits and of course I'm doing my cannabis daily because I also believe in this medication and feel it helped save my life.\nConsider picking up your phone and finding that new oncologist today, your life may depend on it. You are allowed to decide who is not right to see you and keep moving on until you find the right person. I have fired several doctors because they didn't listen to me or they did not honor what I had to say about myself and my wishes in the time of turmoil. There are good and caring doctors out there that are waiting to see you.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nWhat can I use for menopause systems after Estrogen driven breast cancer?\n\nNot what to use to prevent cancer\n\nseadog1","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9997-markdown","title":"Does anyone know of ways to treat Psoriatic Arthritis with Cannabis?","slug":"does-anyone-know-of-ways-to-treat-psoriatic-arthritis-with-cannabis","content":"\n_____________________\nI recommend using a topical cannabis salve. Apply in thin layers to the affected area as often as needed. THC is not absorbed through intact skin so using it will not cause psychoactivity. Cannabis salve is an excellent remedy for psoriatic plaques as well as for the inflammation and joint pain caused by psoriatic arthritis. THC has 20 the anti-inflammatory activity of aspirin and twice that of hydrocortisone (Russo). In a 1981 study published in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, cannabichromene (CBC), another major cannabinoid, was found to have greater anti-inflammatory activity than phenylbutazone (aka \"bute\"). To further enhance anti-inflammation and modulation of the autoimmune system, consider using a 1:1 or 1:2 THC:CBD tincture sublingually two to three times daily. Start with 1-2 drops and increase the dose by 1-2 drops every 2-3 days until you see results - decreased pain, decreased swelling, and resolution of plaques. \n\ndrfrye","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9995-markdown","title":"I have allergies to molds and fungus.  What form of cannabis is free of of mold and fungus?","slug":"i-have-allergies-to-molds-and-fungus-what-form-of-cannabis-is-free-of-of-mold-and-fungus","content":"\n_____________________\nQuality cannabis medications should be tested and labelled to be free of fungus/mold as well as heavy metals, etc.  Technically, the laboratories test for specific parts of the fungus, so the label may say the product is negative for \"aflatoxin\" for instance rather than the word \"fungus\".  Fungus is most dangerous when inhaled, so if you are really concerned about a possible allergic reaction, you may want to lean toward an extracted product for ingestion rather than inhalation.\n\ndrbultman\n_____________________\nAll cannabis should be free of mold and fungus. If you happen to see any mold on your cannabis then it is always best to throw it away instead of risking your health. Reputable dispensaries usually check their plants for mold and I would encourage you to ask your local bud-tender to see what steps are being taken to ensure the product is safe to consume.\n\nBartSmart","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9991-markdown","title":"I have Grave's disease.

If cannabis can help me, what type should I use?\"\n_____________________\nCannabis can definitely have effects on the immune system, so this is a smart question since Grave's disease is an autoimmune disorder.  I couldn't find any clear medical evidence regarding cannabis and Grave's, but in other autoimmune disorders, cannabis can help calm the inflammation that can lead to disease symptoms such as pain and swelling.  However, often patients undergoing different treatments for Grave's disease may have symptoms related to the side effects of medications, surgery, or fluctuating blood thyroid hormone levels, so it would be wise to check with your physician first to be sure your symptoms don't require more workup.\n\ndrbultman","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9990-markdown","title":"Will marijuana transdermal patches help with shoulder pain?","slug":"will-marijuana-transdermal-patches-help-with-shoulder-pain","content":"\n_____________________\n\ndrraisen\n_____________________\nTopical products such as creams, lotions, balms, salves, etc. can have local pain-relieving effects when applied to painful areas.  In contrast, some patches are intended to work by penetrating through the skin and entering the bloodstream, for a general systemic effect rather than a local effect.

CBD Cannabis maybe done in a vape pen for general all over pain and anxiety relief but it may also be done as a suppository you insert in the vagina the night before you expect your cramps for a good night sleep and pain relief. The CBD topical salve at 2:1 Ratio is excellent for pain relief especially if applied to the low back and above the pubic bone and this treatment will not make you high, so you can use the topical salve and even given the car and drive, you can not do that with high THC because of the psychoactive effect.\nTry these techniques, I think you'll be happy you did because cramps are a good thing to be rid of!\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nWomen have used cannabis as a treatment for period cramp pain  since at least as far back as the 19th century, when Sir. J Russel Reynolds would treat  Queen Victoria's period cramps. He duly noted, \"When pure and  administered carefully, cannabis is one of the most valuable medicines  we possess.\"\n\nToday, thousands of women have reported cannabis as  an effective treatment for period cramps. There have been multiple  studies regarding the efficacy of cannabis as an effective analgesic.  However, studies regarding the specific use of cannabis as a treatment  of period cramps is scant.\n\nAlthough, data from a study performed  at the University of Leicesteraimed showed that levels of the endogenous  cannabinoid anandamide (AEA) fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle  and that the cannabinoid rececptors CB1 and CB2 were found throughout  the uterus. These findings suggest that exogenous cannabinoids such as  THC and CBD may interact with the endocannabinoid system resulting in a  reduction in period cramp pain. \nhttps://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00418-010-0695-9.\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\nAnother study evaluated levels of endocannabinoids and the  prevalence of CB1 and CB2 receptors according to cycle phase and the  amount of pain reported by women with and without endometriosis. The  researches found a clear relationship between variations in the  endocannabinoid system between women with severe endometrial pain, mild  endometrial pain and women without endometriosis. These findings again  suggest a role of cannabis in modulating period cramp pain.\nhttp://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/1933719116630414\n\nThe following are excellent products to help reduce pain due to dysmenorrhea (period cramp pain) for most patients. Please consult with a qualified medical marijuana physician to help custom tailor an appropriate regimen for your specific needs. \n\nhttps://www.cbd.org/products/cbd-sublingual-spray\nI  recommend the 2:1 spray . Each spray delivers 2.6mg of CBD and 1.3mg of  THC. I recommend sprays because they are easier to use than are oils  and tinctures. For most of my patients, I recommend one to two sprays as  needed, as frequently as every hour.\n\nhttps://www.cbd.org/products/cbd-chocolate\nI recommend the 18:1 bar. Each 1/4 piece contains 20mg CBD and 1.1mg THC. Take 1/4 of the bar as frequently as every two hours.\n\nhttp://dosist.com/pen-relief/\nTake one to three puffs as frequently as every two hours.\n\ndrkim","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":528,"numPages":63,"currentPage":45,"id":5052,"name":"Cannabis","slug":"cannabis","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
