We are concerned about any interaction issues with the cannibis and is there other strains for nighttime use that might be better for the headaches and neck pain. She suffers from anxiety due to the neck issues - opiates have nearly killed her so we're not going back there  - my main concern right now is there any issues with the interaction from the cannibis and the exeffor FYI - her current usage on the daytime cannibis is about a gram and a half and 1/2 a gram at night \nThanks\nMike\"\n_____________________\nYes, there are concerns for interaction between these two medicines. \nIncreased muscle spasm is one of the side effects that should be reported but I don't know if her pain and muscle spasm has increased since she started using the medication.\nHeadache is also listed as a side effect and she should talk with her doctor about this particular symptom.\nIncreased anxiety is another side effect that should be reported to the doctor.\nLow dose THC actually increases serotonin so she actually might do well with a little more THC in the evening, possibly a 1:1.\nIt could be quite likely that the Effexor dose needs to be reduced, she is at the max dose, but that should be left up to her treating physician.\nAs an osteopathic physician I can tell you the changes in the spine do not occur suddenly unless there's a very traumatic injury. Was this a traumatic injury that caused her neck deformity? If not, I would caution against trying to straighten the spine, you want a functional spine and is the straightening is occurring to rapidly it is very likely can increase her anxiety as a warning system.\nIt does sound like it's time to go back and visit her managing physician to possibly have her medication level reduced.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7358-markdown","title":"Will THC or CBD help me cope with Restless Leg Syndrome?","slug":"will-thc-or-cbd-help-me-cope-with-restless-leg-syndrome","content":"\n_____________________\nYes cannabis can be helpful in treating restless leg syndrome.

In addition:  muscle spasms, chronic pain, leg weakness, difficulty sleeping.  In my four years on medical marijuana, the blessed herb has “quelled” my pain enough to get some sleep, but not deep enough sleep to ever feel rested.   My question for you is:  What do you believe to be the best ratio of THC to CBD for muscle spasms and resulting pain.  I wrote THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA HANDBOOK: A PATIENT’S GUIDE TO HOLISTIC HEALING WITH CANNABIS, so I know a bit on the topic -- but it's not easy finding specific ratios for specific issues. And, as I'm sure you know, other cannabinoids like CBN, CBG and CBC are also noted to help with pain and spasms, but almost never listed in a chemical analysis available to patients. A very well respected M.D. who has written books on cannabis told me to use a ratio of 3:1 CBD:THC.  So I’m doing my own trial on that right now, using two separate products to get that ratio – or close to it, anyway.  But I’d love to know your opinion.  Thanks for being there and for your help! Norma\"\n_____________________\nI certainly don't have the kind of problems that you've had to deal with since birth but your question has significant complexity. I actually would like to know what you're doing the rest of the day. Are you taking CBD during the day? Do you have a good sleep hygiene, like wearing sunglasses about an hour before bedtime? Do you have a stressful job? Do you notice your mind won't shut up? Do you maintain a healthy blood level of vitamin D3? Are you doing Sativa and then following it with Indica? Have you tried a large doses of CBD or concentrated CBD? Are you rubbing your body down with 1:1 CBD: THC Salve before bedtime? Are you taking concentrated calcium (increases muscle spasms) or do you take magnesium? Have you had your genetic chart done with a methylation analysis? If you have your methylation analysis it may reveals at you need specific nutrients, or if you have COMT snps (Single nucleotide polymorphisms) in your chart, it indicates that you are very sensitive to neurotransmitter imbalances and you may benefit from stabilizing the neurotransmitters with other supplements.\nI would love to continue this dialogue but I can only answer one time and then you must come back in with a new entry in order for me to answer you again.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nHello there!  To start off, I want to  say kudos for taking the challenges of even \"mild\" CP and going on to overcome said challenges and even write a book on med. cann that has helped others!  Besides the excellent advice from Dr. Olsen, I might add that you might want to look into two sets of  med cann products.  One set, for daytime, might have more CBD & THC  and the other set of med cann products with more THC & CBN.   The reason that I don't set a specific ratio of cannabinoids is that every person is different in their response!  At least for me, one of the beauties of cann. medicine is that dosage is placed in the control of the patient.  So I say go ahead and experiment;  for example the 3:1 ratio of CBD:THC is probably not supported by any literature but by a pooled analysis of the pts seen by this physician.   However, why not experiment (carefully) w/ 2:1 ratio?  or 10:1?  Don't forget, method of cann. intake will also effect the pharmacodynamics/ pharmacokinetics (what the drug does to the body and vice versa).  That is, using a vape-pen will be a completely different experience from trying tincture drops in tea or even micro-dosing edibles.    I hope that this helps; feel free to joing any of our qualified MD's for a tele-chat session!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7344-markdown","title":"Can cannabis pair with certain essential oils to help with specific medical needs?","slug":"can-cannabis-pair-with-certain-essential-oils-to-help-with-specific-medical-needs","content":"\"Have you at Evoxe found that pairing cannabis with certain essential oils help with certain medical needs? For example, I use lavender oil and CBD when my muscles are tense. \"\n_____________________\nWe have definitely found that incorporating essential oils with cannabinoids creates targeted effects in both the mind and body.  By creating these purpose driven formulas based on the responses that the body has to essential oils, we can hone in on how people want to feel when choosing different varieties of cannabis and help steer their bodies and minds in that direction.  Essential oils are cocktails of terpenes, organic compounds that exist in all living matter which provide the direction of the psychoactive experience contained within cannabis, so they are particularly effective when combined with cannabinoids to create desired effects.\n\nmichaelkatz","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7343-markdown","title":"Are CBD's strain specific? ","slug":"are-cbds-strain-specific","content":"\"Lately I've seen lots of video online showing CBD oil being given to kids having seizures and parkinson patients having severe distortion, tremors  difficulty speaking and within minutes under control.  I have friends witj Parkinsons who need help.\"\n_____________________\nWe all want to help our friends but some things must be left to the doctors, like the management of disease process so please, do not treat your friends but you may make suggestions that may help. \nMost cases of Parkinson's disease are not hereditary that we are aware of it this time but the person may have genes that increase their risk of developing Parkinson's disease. \nDue to the increase chemical load we are all living with it is highly likely the person may be toxic enter health them develop a better diet and lifestyle may be of some benefit. Certainly, exercise has been shown to be beneficial in slowing the progression of Parkinson's disease.\nThere are many chemicals in various professions that may be associated with Parkinson's disease including fungicides, insecticides, agent orange, herbicides, Chemical neurotoxins and even a history of prior head injuries maybe significant for damaging the part of the brain responsible for secreting dopamine.\nWe have no studies regarding the use of CBD oil in a patient with Parkinson's disease but we do know that both CBD and THC trigger dopamine production so there may be benefit and it likely can reduce the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and since cannabis tends to be well-tolerated the patient may decide it's worth a try. The area of the brain that produces dopamine is in the process of dying so the results will depend a lot on the progression of the disease since Cannabis will not bring that area back to life once the tissue has died.\nFinding the cause of Parkinson's disease is the ultimate goal in being able to effectively cure the disease.\n1998 research does it reveal the neuroprotective benefit of have cannabinoids and it does appear that cannabis is able to help remove toxins and toxic waste and it is believed that neurotoxic build up contributes to Parkinson's disease but cannabinoids can improve the health of the mitochondria while reducing oxidative stress in the brain which would slow the degeneration.\nThere are later studies that show that CBD is beneficial in treating Parkinson's psychosis because it eliminated a neurotoxin thought to be a contributor in the development of Parkinson's disease and it reduced brain cell death.\nThis is an area where are a lot of research is being done and it does appear favorable to the use of cannabis just love the disease and in treatment of the symptoms so it is worth following closely.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7330-markdown","title":"I am having spine nerve pain that teaches into my left leg and knee and is quite severe. ","slug":"i-am-having-spine-nerve-pain-that-teaches-into-my-left-leg-and-knee-and-is-quite-severe","content":"\"Is their a CBD oil/vap product that could help this condition?\"\n_____________________\nYes cannabis is very helpful for neuropathic pain. I would try a sublingual tincture of whole plant cannabis extract with CBD, THC and the other components found in cannabis. You can vary the ratio and see what works best for you and your lifestyle. With more THC you may find more pain relief, but you may experience more psychoactive effects, changes in perception and short term memory. When utilizing the tincture, allow it to absorb in your mouth, so that it goes directly into your bloodstream. Try a small dose (5-10 milligrams of cannabinoids), and wait for half an hour to see if you experience relief. Increase the dose as needed. Vaporizing cannabis will provide more immediate relief and is often a bit easier to titrate the appropriate dose. You may also try topical cannabis rubs or a transdermal patch applied to the most painful area.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7316-markdown","title":"I am looking for 15% CBD oil with 15% THC in a capsule form?","slug":"i-am-looking-for-15-cbd-oil-with-15-thc-in-a-capsule-form","content":"\"Indica strain.\"\n_____________________\nYou may not find those % in capsule form, but you can find 1:1 ratio's of THC to CBD.

It's not 100% clear what causes gallstones to form. Your body needs bile that is produced in the liver to help in food digestion, but if it has too much cholesterol it can cause gallstones to form. About 80% of the gallstones that are formed are cholesterol stones. As far as I know there are no studies that show that cannabis can help to decrease gallstones. That being said, cannabis might be able to help in pain reduction from acute attacks with a balanced 1:1 ration THC:CBD product.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7303-markdown","title":"Do you have any CBD vape pens?","slug":"do-you-have-any-cbd-vape-pens","content":"\"I'm not in a legal medical marijuana state.

This is the following recipe a past patient has given me that I've modified as I given it to various patients:  1)  Obtain a crock pot/ slow cooker\n2)  Measure out 1 cup of coconut oil (we've chosen this over the years b/c Costco\n      has it on sale in large tubs);  I'm sure other oils can be used too\n3) Patientshave then placed 15-17 grams flower material in the oil;  this number is\n     through trial and error.  If you're new to this or weigh less than 120 lbs, you \n      may want to use less.  If you weigh more or think you have some tolerance, \n      maybe a little more.  Make sure there is a good mix of cannabinoids like CBD/ \n      THC in the mix\n4)  Slow cook @ 6 -8 hrs/ one work day between 200-300 degrees F to allow for\n      the cannabinoids to \"decarboxylate\"/ \"release\"  & \"activate\" from the plants\n5)  Add essential oils but I would say sparingly and just individually at a time; in \n      other words try diff. batches w/ diff. essential oils. From what I understand \n     about aromatherapy, every scent is therapeutic in a diff. way\n6)    Let us know how things work!
