THC does increase the munchies and frequently people are munching out on high carbohydrate food or foods that break down to simple sugars rapidly and that will increase yeast production. Be sure to eliminate all high fructose corn syrup sweeteners because they are toxic, so correct to your diet and maybe you need to balance with more CBD cannabis to support your immune system in addition to needs for vitamin D or Zinc so see your favorite integrated medicine physician, naturopath or nutritionist.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7398-markdown","title":"Does Marijuana raise blood sugar level in diabetics?","slug":"does-marijuana-raise-blood-sugar-level-in-diabetics","content":"\n_____________________\nMy relative is a type 1 diabetic.

When you have diabetes you should be doing lots of CBD to improve your diabetes and the way your body handles carbohydrates so the use of CBD does appear to be beneficial for diabetics because it also helps with digestion, mood, inflammation and it appears to protect the neurological system.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7370-markdown","title":"sorry—something that was unclear to me from the video: Can I use any cannabis with this vape?

I believe the testosterone is breaking me out, but I really do not want to quit (it helps with a number of issues) and I don't want to go back on the pill to regulate my hormones. Suggestions?\"\n_____________________\nAcne is a very common and frustrating skin condition for young adults and usually improves for most individuals between age 20-30. There are several physiologic processes that lead to acne including the way your body makes skin cells, produces protective oils, fights bacteria in your skin, and responds to skin irritants. A dysregulation in any of those processes can worsen acne. Hormonal changes that occur normally with age, menstrual cycles, or with stress can also affect those processes and worsen acne too.\n\nThe treatment of acne depends on the severity and whether or not you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant. The four main medications are salicylic acid, topical retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and topical antibiotics. Severe acne is treated with oral forms of these medications which carry significant risks and should be discussed with your doctor. \n\nMedications that regulate your hormones can also be used to treat acne if the methods above have not been effective. These medications include low dose oral estrogen/progesterone (also known as birth control or oral contraceptives) and spironolactone. Spironolactone essentially lowers effective testosterone levels but can also affect your blood pressure and electrolyte levels so needs to be monitored with blood tests at least once per year.\n\nFinally, there are very few studies suggesting that cannabis products may be helpful for the treatment of acne. Smoked cannabis is similar to tobacco smoke in terms of particulate matter and hydrocarbons, which are known to irritate skin. There are very preliminary studies, such as the one referenced below, that suggest topical cannabinoid (CBD) products may help with acne because of their anti-inflammatory effect; however, the topical products on the market are often oil-based since THC/CBD are fat soluble molecules. Oil-based products are great for eczema but tend to make acne worse. \n\nIn summary, there are no studies showing that cannabis-infused topicals are effective in treating acne and have more potential for harm than good based on the other substances that cannabis topicals often contain. My suggestion would be to discontinue daily smoked cannabis and use a vaporizer instead if you must consume that frequently. Most importantly, talk to your primary care doctor or dermatologist about the numerous safe and effective options that are already available on the market summarized above.\n\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25061872\n\nsankmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7354-markdown","title":"how can i get Cannabis Transdermal Patch for fibromyalgia","slug":"how-can-i-get-cannabis-transdermal-patch-for-fibromyalgia","content":"\n_____________________\nIf you are looking specifically for a patch, Mary's Medicinal is a commonly available product.

I'd prefer vaping","slug":"i-cant-seem-to-get-the-same-feeling-from-a-vape-pen-as-i-do-from-smoking-flowers-why-id-prefer-vaping","content":"\"I travel a lot and need cannabis to sleep but don't want to carry. How can I find the right vape that will allow me to sleep like the flowers do at home?\"\n_____________________\nMy understanding is that the vape pens miss out on the terpenes and the terpenes affect the taste and smell as well as the effect of the Cannabis so this may account for the difference that you notice when you use a vape pen versus smoking flower.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\n@DrOlson mentioned one of the main differences between cannabis flower and most vaporizers.  We use Essential Oils which are cocktails of terpenes, the directive elements of the cannabis flower that are often lost in favor of higher THC potency during extraction, to customize each of our vaporizers to create the feeling people want when they choose various types of cannabis.  For sleep, we primarily recommend our DEEP pen which blends Lavender, Chamomile and Orange essentials to create a relaxing and soothing experience, as well as our BALANCE or BALANCE+ vaporizers that have no psychoactive effect, but have been reported to act as sleep aids, as well as anti-inflammatories and general pain and stress relief.\n\nOne more thing to consider is that when you smoke flower, you're inhaling the burning plant matter (leaves, stems, etc.) which if it's being lit directly from a lighter (at temps up to 3,590℉) or smoldering (at temps up to 1,100℉) creates the smoke that is missing from vaporized cannabis.  Our vaporizers create heated air at a much lower temperature, only enough to activate the various cannabinoids and terpenes, and that process doesn't create any smoke from combustion like you experience with flower or tobacco. This smoke itself does likely impact the overall experience, but by all accounts it's a very unhealthy delivery system because of what it does to the lungs and the body over time.\n\nmichaelkatz","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":672,"numPages":63,"currentPage":57,"id":5052,"name":"Cannabis","slug":"cannabis","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
