It is all hit or miss?\"\n_____________________\nFor your needs, I would consider lower doses with greater frequency. Most patients find medications with equal parts CBD to THC (1:1) to be most effective for pain relief. If you are comfortable with that level of more minimal psychoactivity, a lower dose 2-3x/day seems ideal for most patients seeking chronic pain management.\n\njessicapeters\n_____________________\nThere are many formulations of CBD rich cannabis. I would suggest a whole plant CDB rich tincture with some portion of THC. All of the cannabinoids and other compounds work together to provide a synergysic effect. If you are inhaling, you may want to dose every few hours, tinctures should used around every 5 hours and edibles maybe two or three times a day. Topicals can be applied many times per day. Suppositories can be used a few times a day as well.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6834-markdown","title":"Should I stop taking CBD 1:1 oil before prolotherapy injection?","slug":"should-i-stop-taking-cbd-1-1-oil-before-prolotherapy-injection","content":"\"I'm having a prolotherapy injection in a couple of weeks in my hip. It says to stop taking all anti inflammatories like advil, aspirin, ibuprofen for 5 days before and after the injection. The injection works by creating an inflammatory response to start the healing.\n\nWould that mean stopping CBD 1:1 oil. I doubt the doctor I'm going to see would know the answer.\n\nThanks!\"\n_____________________\nCBD is a anti-inflammatory that works by increasing our bodies own natural cannabinoid levels. This is achieved in a synergystic fashion with the other compounds in cannabis.  Synthetic mono-drug anti-inflammatory therapy takes aim at single enzymes in our bodies, which often produces other unwanted \"collateral damage\" and severe side effects.  \nWhile I am not extremely familiar with prolotherapy, the concept seems to be to increase local inflammation to induce our body to produce systemic anti-inflammatory molecules. Common sense would indicate that prolotherapy work be effective in most cases unless you are taking massive doses of anti-inflammatory drugs. \nAll this being said, I would continue with the 1:1 CBD:THC and go forward with the therapy. If you see good results, then continue both. If results are poor, maybe try stopping the CBD:THC for a few days before your next prolotherapy and assess for results.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6816-markdown","title":"If Prop 64 passes, will all dispensaries offer both MED and REC? ","slug":"if-prop-64-passes-will-all-dispensaries-offer-both-med-and-rec","content":"\"If so, how can I be sure that I will still be able to get my high CBD strains? Most REC consumers aren't necessarily looking for high CBD in their cannabis.\"\n_____________________\nIts a very good question that no one knows the answer to. If people can purchase cannabis without a doctors recommendation, why pay the fee to get a evaluation? \n\nIf we look at Colorado the answer is quite clear, its all about taxes and money. The tax rate in CO for medicinal cannabis is 2.9%. The tax rate for recreational cannabis is 25%. In the years since CO passed their recreational cannabis laws, medicinal cannabis sales have remained relatively stable. With the low tax rate people have a chance to see a physician, become evaluated and if appropriate obtain a cannabis recommendation to purchase lower priced cannabis to help them heal. There are politicians in CA who feel that all cannabis users should be taxed the same since if not, the \"sick\" people will remain sick. Of course the state loses out on the revenue.\n\nIn WA where there are no more medicinal dispensaries, all cannabis is taxed the same and there is less and less availability of certain types of cannabis for patients to use. \n\nWhich way CA goes it Prop 64 passes will take a lot of lot effort in the coming years to make sure that the medicinal dispensary remains a option for people who depend on that type of cannabis to help them.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nYour concern regarding patient access to much needed medicine is one that I've heard throughout the cannabis community in California lately.  First, know that Proposition 64 will not automatically create adult use dispensaries should it pass.  This means that the existing medical community will still be in play (provided they are in compliance with MCRSA and other regulations) until at least 2018.  \n\nSecond, this poses an opportunity for patients (and providers) to advocate for sensible regulations around the medical program as its being developed in the coming months.  To make sure patients have access to the types of strains, forms of ingestion, and other means of obtaining medical cannabis we must advocate as a community during the MEDICAL cannabis regulatory process.  Hopefully we will not see high CBD fall aside in favor of high THC strains post-legalization.\n\nsunshinel","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6813-markdown","title":"I've got lower back pain due to menstruation and i'm wondering in CBD can help with that.

You many also consider treating the joint and inflammation directly with lotion or ointment and those are available at many dispensaries as well.  I produce a 300 mg THC pain cream with 10 mg CBD for Haze dispensary in San Jose.  Keep an eye out for anything made with the strain ACDC. Its plant genetics, if grown properly, will produce that ratio you are looking for, around a 20:1. Plants grown with this ratio of genetics do have a history of stopping tumor cells. Scientists in Israel have published data on this so, please take a look for yourself and review their research.\n\ncheridevine","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6766-markdown","title":"Has CBD been known to restrict urine flow when taking via suppository for prostate cancer?","slug":"has-cbd-been-known-to-restrict-urine-flow-when-taking-via-suppository-for-prostate-cancer","content":"\n_____________________\nNot to my knowledge.
