And he had a cerebral hemorrhage at 44 days old and had surgery at 45 days old. Currently he has epilepsy and cerebral palsy. After trying 11 drugs, nothing happens. Now he has about 4 to 5 seizures daily, each seizure lasts 3 to 5 minutes. So I want to use CBD for him but I don't know where to start because cbd/thc/marijuana is not legal in my country. \r\nLook forward to the help!\r\nSorry for my English not good, I use google translate to talk with you.\r\nThank you so much!\"\n_____________________\nI help many children with similar situations using CBD alone which is legal in 22 countries. Usual dose is about 1mg per lb body weight, start slowly and increase gradually if other AED are in use. Coordinate with your doctor so that they can check AED blood levels if exacerbations of his condition worsen. CBD has no significant side effects but does interact with AED to make them stronger or weaker.\n\ndrblair","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8044-markdown","title":"Does CBD work to alleviate the symptoms of traumatic brain injury (TBI)?","slug":"does-cbd-work-to-alleviate-the-symptoms-of-traumatic-brain-injury-tbi","content":"\n_____________________\nThere has been some literature suggesting that CBD type cannabis reduces symptoms and promotes accelerated healing in neurological injuries due to its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects.\n\ndrjacquelynlew","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8034-markdown","title":"Do I need to decarboxalate my fresh high-CBD cannabis?","slug":"do-i-need-to-decarboxalate-my-fresh-high-cbd-cannabis","content":"\"I don't want the high from the THC.

In order to get the CBD that you are looking for, yes, it does need to be decarboxylated in order to convert the CBDa (an acid) over to CBD (cannabidiol). If the 190 alcohol is not available then a 80 proof alcohol will have to do!\n\nPiantaTinta","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8032-markdown","title":"Do you know of any medical clinic in Europe that perform CBD injections for cancer patients?","slug":"do-you-know-of-any-medical-clinic-in-europe-that-perform-cbd-injections-for-cancer-patients","content":"\n_____________________\nI did a websearch about \"injectable\" CBD and found no reputable clinics in Europe, Israel, or anywhere in the world that perform this procedure and for good reason.  Injection can be subcutaneous (into the fat layer under the epidermis); however if there is no hospital-level sterilization of the injection equipment as well as purification/ sterilization of the injected substance there is a risk of cellulitis, necrotizing fasciitis (\"flesh-eating disease\") or worse.  If you plan to inject intravenously, you have the risk of infection as well as the possible injection of air or the CBD preparation, thereby causing a potentially fatal embolism.  A cannabis researcher at the University of Colorado Springs Dr. Bob Melamede had some additional thoughts why injectable cannabinoids (CBD or other) are probably impossible: http://www.westword.com/news/marijuana-thc-injection-fears-are-idiotic-says-doctor-and-cannabis-expert-5823296   Basically, he's saying the cannabinoid preps are lipophilic, i.e. they don't mix in water, saline, etc; it would be like injecting yourself w/ sap.  Thankfully there are much safer means of administering cannabis.  Keep in mind not all chemotherapy agents for cancer are given via IV infusion;  many are admistered orally.  Besides traditional cannabis edibles, there are  tincture drops too.  Frequent, regular dosing during the day means the blood cannabinoid concentration is kept at a peak.  I hope this information is useful\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8031-markdown","title":"Is there a THC to CBD dosage ratio chart for various illnesses?

Unfortunately, I've not been able to find any specifics regarding dosage and our prescribing doctor in NYC knows almost nothing beyond what's easily searchable on the interwebs.  I've seen/heard a number of people discuss a 60 grams/60 ML in 90 days protocol for whole plant extract (e.g. RSO and others) but that doesn't really provide insight into dosages.  The reason I'm asking is bc we are getting tinctures from the dispensary in NYC with varying ratios of THC:CBD and concentrations of each per ML and would like to get a sense for optimal MG dosage per day so we can employ our own cannabis program.  Currently my wife is taking 90 mg of CBD and ~50-70mg of THC a day but again, have almost no idea whether that's close to inline with where we want to be to help slow growth and ultimately kill cancer.  We're exploring some more established protocols that call for 60 grams in 90 days but they're extremely expensive and if we can understand dosage, we might be able to do it on our own more affordably.  Any thoughts/direction is most appreciated.  \"\n_____________________\nI wish I could be of more assistance.  Even in mice models where cannabinoids were shown to impede the growth of melanoma (in the 60% or so of mice with responsive CB1 and 2 receptors) the dosages were done in micrograms.  While we can extrapolate some doses in some drugs to what might be safe in a human, safe dosing is finalized under the auspices of a controlled phase 1 clinical trial.  As I am sure you have found in your research, that data does not exist.\n\nNP Joshua","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8010-markdown","title":"What's the best ratio of CBD to THC to deal with the symptoms of perimenopause?","slug":"whats-the-best-ratio-of-cbd-to-thc-to-deal-with-the-symptoms-of-perimenopause","content":"\"I have trouble sleeping, among other symptoms from hormonal changes brought on by perimenopause.\"\n_____________________\nThe answer would depend on some factors:  Are there any other medical issues or mental health issues in play? It sounds like you've had some experience w/ med cann products;  have you had any adverse reactions and if so, what were the products and the cannabinoid profiles of said products?   In the short blurb you've given, it sounds like sleep and some mood dysphoria are the biggest issues that you are dealing with.  For sleep, I recommend carefully dosed edibles with some THC and CBN (enough to help you feel \"heavy\" but not enough to cause mood swings or paranoia).  I tell pts to try a test dose of any edible first (like on a Friday or weekend where there's no work/ responsibilities the next day) and to only take a fraction of what is recommended as an adult dose (i.e. 1/2, or 1/3 of a full adult dose listed on the label of the edible product).  For daytime mood mgmt, you can try a vape-pen but keep the doses \"low and slow\";  another popular method w/ my pts is tincture drops diluted in hot non-caffeinated tea (for these a higher CBD: THC ratio has helped my pts, one can start w/ 2:1 or 3:1  CBD:THC and dilute the amount the tea you mix accordingly for safety.  As I tell many of my perimenopausal pts,  this is a difficult time that usually calls for a multi-modal approach (i.e. daily exercise, meditation/ mindfulness/ self-hypnosis,  nutritional supplements, etc).

While CBD is still considered illegal under federal law, as it is derived from the cannabis plant (which is classified as a Schedule 1 drug), its medicinal use is legal in 44 U.S. states.\n\nIn the 28 states that have legalized medical marijuana, CBD falls under that category. Additionally, 16 states have legalized CBD-only products. However, in states that have opted to allow CBD medicine, but not THC, products can still be difficult to obtain, as there is no market or infrastructure in which to sell them.\n\nrebeccaspence","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7989-markdown","title":"is a prescription required in order to use a CBD patch?","slug":"is-a-prescription-required-in-order-to-use-a-cbd-patch","content":"\n_____________________\nHi there!\n\nYou do not need a cannabis recommendation to shop at a recreational dispensary.
