Possible effects that may occur in conjunction are: Effexor, a SNRI (serotonin- norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor), may increase the affect and duration of cannabis; in rare cases using a SNRI plus cannabis can lead to a psychotic event described as mania (usually via edibles or with Bipolar disorder). \n\ndrb","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9081-markdown","title":" Was thinking of getting a high CBD/THC strain for when migraines come on but not sure what to get?","slug":"was-thinking-of-getting-a-high-cbd-thc-strain-for-when-migraines-come-on-but-not-sure-what-to-get","content":"\"I have had migraines for 16 years and am just now trying CBD/THC.

If 20:1 works well for you, I would say continue.  If you notice any signs of physiologic tolerance (i.e. higher doses needed to achieve same therapeutic response), try altering the CBD/THC ratio slightly and see what this does.  I generally tell patients to avoid smoking when dealing with all headache types because of carbon monoxide production (a known HA inducer).  Don't forget regular exercise, adequate hydration, and sleep.

But, long term, is vaping considered safe?","slug":"i-tried-vaping-cbd-today-and-loved-how-fast-it-worked-for-my-pain-but-long-term-is-vaping-considered-safe","content":"\n_____________________\nI'm with you -- I prefer vaping, too! Here's an article we published a little bit ago that goes into the pros and cons of vaping. Basically, vaping is so new that there's not really any data about how it affects us long term. I would say, though, that you should make sure your vape pen isn't made out of a material that could cause you harm when heated and also if you're vaping oil that the oil itself doesn't contain any harmful additives. Hope this helps!\n\ngabriella\n_____________________\nIt's hard to give a confident answer based on published science.  I'd point out that inhaling anything other than air is potentially a problem, but it's usually a question of what, how much, how often, for how long.  Most vape extracts are made with CO2 under pressure rather than with solvents, so I wouldn't expect the known problems from inhaling solvents to occur.  The very large number of people currently vaping will eventually provide an answer, and that it hasn't done so to date has increasing relevance.  In reviewing risk-benefit you'd also have to include what you would do instead of vaping CBD, which might have its own set of potential harms.  I would say at this point there is not enough evidence of long term safety to make a pronouncement that it is safe, but not enough evidence of clinical harm to recommend against it.  And I would not give up the relief it is offering without some reason.\n\ndrelkind","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9072-markdown","title":"Is there any CBD or cannabis strains that can help with GERD?","slug":"is-there-any-cbd-or-cannabis-strains-that-can-help-with-gerd","content":"\n_____________________\nHi there!

CBD promotes general  balance among the systems of the brain and as we learn more about it,  more people can be helped. \" stated by What Is CBD, the well known source of Cannabidiol aka CBD studies.\n\nsebastianwross","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9047-markdown","title":"Can I get cbd capsules ?","slug":"can-i-get-cbd-capsules","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9045-markdown","title":"Should I stop taking CBD tincture before surgery?","slug":"should-i-stop-taking-cbd-tincture-before-surgery","content":"\n_____________________\nYes you should.

You could take a CBD-only capsule, or gummy etc on a regular basis to keep a maintenance level of CBD for anxiety treatment/prevention.  If you have a panic attack, however, you can use a CBD vape pen, since the inhaled form will start working very quickly.
