","slug":"is-the-cannabis-strain-ak-47-suitable-for-arthritis","content":"\"It has a high level of THC, not CBD.\"\n_____________________\nHello and thank you for the great question,\n\nWhile AK-47 should help with the pain, there definitely are better choices for arthritic pain. As you mentioned, AK-47 has relatively small amounts of CBD which is what's largely responsible for the anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties of cannabis. \n\nI recommend you ask for high CBD strains for arthritic pain. Here are a few popular high CBD strains.\n\nSATIVA - Harlequin is one of the most popular CBD strains available. Typically testing around the 5:2 CBD/THC ratio, it exhibits a sativa-dominant alertness with only mild euphoria. Harlequin has a happy bent that most will find enhances whatever activity they are engaged in.\n\nHYBRD - ACDC is easily my favorite CBD strain. The cannabinoid content is usually heavily CBD-dominant, sitting on average at 20:1 in its CBD/THC ratio. An imperceptible amount of THC makes ACDC an outstanding companion for daily medicinal cannabis consumers seeking to relieve tension, pain, or anxiety.\n\nINDICA - Stephen Hawking Kush offers mild, relaxing effects while doling out a healthy dose of CBD, too. This indica-dominant strain is one of the more unique CBD cuts out there, offering both heady and soothing effects.\n\nHope this helps!\nRichard Kim MD\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8409-markdown","title":"Is it safe for children to use CBD oil to treat autism and ADHD? ","slug":"is-it-safe-for-children-to-use-cbd-oil-to-treat-autism-and-adhd","content":"\"My 13 year old son has high functioning autism and moderate ADHD.  Which CBD Oil will work best for him?\"\n_____________________\nCBD oil (derived from hemp) is a type of cannabis oil that contains a significant amount of cannabidiol (CBD) and less than 0.3% of THC. In other words, the CBD oil that is made from hemp doesn’t actually get you high. It is one of the most important naturally-occurring cannabinoids found in in the cannabis plant. There have been studies done to test the effects of CBD oil on ADHD and autism. Results of these studies deemed CBD oil a potential therapeutic target for the pharmacological management of the autism and ADHD.\nMaking recommendations for use of any product or drug, medical providers always make sure that carefully conducted studies have answered two critical questions. First, does the treatment actually work? And second, is it harmful? In essence, we need to be sure that the benefits outweigh the risks. There have not been any studies done a grand scale for me to confidently tell you that for sure it will treat autism and/or ADHD or that it has no long term effects of chronic use. But overall, CBD oil is a safe, legal, and easily-obtainable product that just about everyone in the U.S. has access to recommend discussing this with your child's pediatrician as well. I hope I helped answer your question. Good luck.\n\nnptherasse","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8407-markdown","title":"Can CBD replace the use of antidepressants?","slug":"can-cbd-replace-the-use-of-antidepressants","content":"\n_____________________\nHello and thank you for your great question,\n\nUnfortunately, CBD ,with or without THC, will most likely not completely replace an antidepressant that is successfully alleviating your symptoms of depression. If the antidepressant is working, I would recommend you continue that treatment while using a low dose of cannabis when you are feeling especially down. However, CBD without THC will likely have little to no effect of depression. THC, at very low doses, provides the boost in mood. \n\nPlease keep in mind that cannabis is best used at the lowest dose and frequency possible to address your depression. There is both scientific and a plethora of adecdotal evidence that heavy cannabis use can lead to the worsening of depression.\n\nIn one 2014 study, researchers found that the brain’s of chronic cannabis consumers became less sensitive to dopamine over time. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that promotes pleasure, reward, pain, and focus. Lack of dopamine is also implicated in some models of depression.\nhttp://www.pnas.org/content/111/30/E3149\n\nThe idea here is that less sensitivity to dopamine makes you apathetic and detached, two major symptoms of depression.\n\nOther animal research has found that THC in low doses boosts serotonin, but high doses of the cannabinoid had the opposite effect.\nhttp://www.jneurosci.org/content/27/43/11700\n\nHere are some recommended high CBD strains you can use to help with your symptoms - I recommend ACDC and Harlequin for depression. \n\n-Harlequin-\nHarlequin is one of the most popular CBD strains available. Typically testing around the 5:2 CBD/THC ratio, it exhibits a sativa-dominant alertness with only mild euphoria. Harlequin has a happy bent that most will find enhances whatever activity they are engaged in.\nRingo’s Gift\n\n-Ringo’s Gift –  is a hybrid cross of Harle-Tsu and ACDC. It keeps on giving to patients seeking a nearly full-on CBD-driven strain, with an average ratio of 24:1 CBD/THC.\nSweet and Sour Widow\n\n-Sweet and Sour Widow- indica cannabis strain\nSweet and Sour Widow lands in the middle ground with a 1:1 CBD/THC ratio. This even split offers first-time cannabis consumers an enjoyable entry point to both THC and CBD without sending them into orbit. It also makes for good medicine while being slightly euphoric and stoney.\n\nStephen Hawking Kush\n-Stephen Hawking Kush- indica cannabis strain \nStephen Hawking Kush offers mild, relaxing effects while doling out a healthy dose of CBD, too. This indica-dominant strain is one of the more unique CBD cuts out there, offering both heady and soothing effects.\n\n-ACDC- hybrid cannabis strain \nACDC is easily my favorite CBD strain. The cannabinoid content is usually heavily CBD-dominant, sitting on average at 20:1 in its CBD/THC ratio. An imperceptible amount of THC makes ACDC an outstanding companion for daily medicinal cannabis consumers seeking to relieve tension, pain, or anxiety.\n\n- Cannatonic-  hybrid cannabis strain \nCannatonic isn’t nearly as sedative as the name implies. This strain usually brings a smaller CBD/THC split, ranging from 5:1 down to 1:1. This even-keeled cannabinoid profile gives consumers a great deal of flexibility to use Cannatonic as medicine or as an enjoyable, mild mannered strain to unwind with.\n\n-Harle-Tsu hybrid cannabis strain \nHarle-Tsu, is an outstandingly functional CBD cut. By combining Harlequin and Sour Tsunami, Harle-Tsu achieves a pleasant disposition without encumbering the consumer with strong sedation.\n\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\nMany people that use a CBD:THC ratio of 20:1 twice daily and then every 6 hours on top of twice daily find themselves to be able to slowly titrate off antidepressants starting around the 3 week mark.  This is always advised with your doctors awareness and plan to titrate.\n\ndrb","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8396-markdown","title":"Is it legal for me to carry CBD oil on an international flight?","slug":"is-it-legal-for-me-to-carry-cbd-oil-on-an-international-flight","content":"\n_____________________\nSince the airlines are federal space, you may not carry your CBD oil with you because it is an illegal substance according to the Feds.

Cannabidiol sprays used under the tongue have been used in doses of 2.5 mg for up to 2 weeks. \n\nSome reported side effects of cannabidiol include dry mouth, low blood pressure, light headedness, and drowsiness.
