What can you recommend?","slug":"im-going-through-menopause-and-the-hot-flashes-keep-me-up-at-night-what-can-you-recommend","content":"\"I need to sleep, but am afraid that marijuana may exacerbate some of my issues with anxiety.\"\n_____________________\nHot flashes are indeed one of the most difficult side effects of menopause.  And when they are effecting your sleep, that adds an additional layer of stress to your day.  Something things you can do near bedtime, that are not cannabis related, are avoid caffeine (including chocolate), alcohol, spicy foods, tight clothing, extra blankets and cigarette smoke. \n\nWhoopi (Goldberg) and Maya make topical rubs, bath soaks and yummy sipping cocao chocolate treats specifically for women.  At night, you can bath in Whoopi & Maya’s Medical Cannabis Bath Soak.  The soaks promotes a state of deep relaxation and offers relief from the aches, pains, and cramping associated with the menstrual cycle.  Available in lavender, amber moon or unscented.  Follow that bath with a Whoopi and Maya topical rub and you're on your way to deep relaxation.\n\nWhoopi and Maya's CBD chocolate sipping cacao that would be especially good for you in the daytime, since CBD is known for it's calming and anti-anxiety effects.  Cocao enters your body through your endocannabinoid receptors just like cannabis, and releases an array of “feel good” chemicals that physically improves your mood. Coupled with cannabis this raw, organic cacao can help with inflammation, sleep, pain, irritability, joint pain, and the uterine cramping and discomfort associated with the menstrual cycle, all while providing for a truly health beneficial experience. \n\nThe high content of magnesium and iron chocolate contains makes it desirable as these deficiencies become heightened during menstruation.  A study from the Virginia University Health System has discovered that magnesium supplements can reduce hot flash frequency in women from 52 to 28 per week — a 41% reduction.  \n\nCannabis may be just the ticket for your menopausal issues!

How much is too much tincture? I'm new to this so need a lot of educating but so far I'm not very impressed. Don't want to smoke. One topical helps but smells like weed so can't go out with it on. Kiva 60/60 chocolate helps with sleep. Am I missing something ?\"\n_____________________\nHi, I would ask are you using primarily all CBD and how often are you dosing and for how long? Most CBD tinctures are usually displayed with a ratio of CBD:THC so you may have a 20:1 which would be 20 parts CBD to 1 part THC. CBD does help with inflammation but in my experience, a CBD tincture does not help immediately with pain, it is something that when taken over a longer period of pain may help calm general inflammation and discomfort.\n\nI don't have arthritis but I have intense migraines. I found that when I started taking CBD tinctures it took about 2-3 months before i noticed a real decrease in my pain until finally I don't get them at all anymore. That said, everyone is different. I find a tincture with high CBD 20:1 followed by a tincture with 4:1 later in the day is what works best for me. \n\nTopicals vary and many yes, do smell terrible or can be greasy. Topicals are great because they provide localized relief and do not enter the blood stream. Two topicals I love are SweetReLeaf and FlowerPower. \n\nAnother thing you might consider is microdosing during the day very small amounts of THC in 1-2 mg which can help with pain and relax the body while you are still able to function mentally. Satori Chocolates now has a great product. I will include links below.\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-soothes-arthritis-pain\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/microdosing-the-big-new-trend\n\nI hope this helps!

I have 5 fused vertebra, and I just found out hte \"pain\" in my feet is likely nerve pain from the spinal fluid pushing against it. With that said, the days are ok, as long as I am on my feet. Nights are hell, with stabbing pain in my feet that keeps me up all night. Was taking lost of Norco & Ibuprofen, have weaned myself from Norco. I am new to CBD, and now taking 1/8 CBD 3x  day, 1/4 CBD (one spray) and 5g THC cookie at night. I have a very low tolerance, and THC causes me to get anxiety attacks (this is why it took me so long to find my way to Cannabis!). I wake a few hours later with pain, and am afraid to redose since I have to get up and drive. Plus, this combo is getting too expensive for me to maintain. Any suggestions? Thank you!\"\n_____________________\nThe tincture and edible you're using are great for your issues, hopefully they've been providing some relief. I have two additional suggestions - topical and either vaping or smoking. \n\nCannabis topicals provide tremendous relief. Ideally, I'd suggest a pre-bedtime bath with cannabis Epsom salts followed by self massage with a topical oil and some very light stretching. That will really relax your body before bed. If you don't have time for a bath, applying the oil will also help a lot. \n\nFor the time midway through the night when you wake, smoking or vaping will provide fast relief and will wear off in less time than taking more of your edible. It may take some experimenting to find the right strain for you that doesn't produce any anxiety - look for a vape blend specifically formulated to promote calm.\n\nandrea13","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7542-markdown","title":"Can marijuana help me with insomnia?","slug":"can-marijuana-help-me-with-insomnia","content":"\n_____________________\nWhat would last longer, keeping me asleep throughout the night, vaping marijuana or eating edibles?  Also, does a body build up resistance over time to one brand of edibles?\n\ncmdesigns\n_____________________\nThe relaxing effects of cannabis come from a combination of the many bioactive compounds found in the plant.  To avoid overstimulation it helps to have lots of CBD in the preparation along with the THC, so I suggest thinking of it in terms of CBD:THC ratio.  For most patients trying several preparations with different ratios will usually find one that reliably helps them get to sleep.\n\ndrelkind","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7536-markdown","title":"Best cannabis product for cramps?","slug":"best-cannabis-product-for-cramps","content":"\"I just bought, but haven't yet tried Foria Relief. \"\n_____________________\nHi there!

There have been suggestions in animals that it may help as well.\n\nThere are many many discussions on this subject all over the Internet.

It can increase appetite in patients who are losing weight. I look at using cannabis for cannabis for cancer in the light of \"can it hurt\"? The answer, for the most part, is no. It is something that a person should discuss with their physicians.
