Stay away from Sativas or Hybrids with Sativa dominant.\n\ngangaraptor\n_____________________\nTo answer your question: It depends on the tolerance level of the individual.\n\nI find my body reacts in a similar way to what you've described. I only take the low THC high CBD combo tincture in the morning now. \n\nFor sleep aid, I focus on heavy indicas in flower, vape pen, or dab-able concentrate form. Low dose edibles like Kiva's Blueberries taken a half hour to hour before bed also work well, but can give me a little residual sleepy hangover (like nyquil) if I consume more than one.\n\njess\n_____________________\nDosage is about the most personal thing out there-- and sure evidence that everyone's body is different so there is no one-size-fits-all medicine.  Any dosage recommendations should read: take a small dose (and record what you took) and wait an hour. \nRepeat until you get the effect that you need (of the THC). \nCBN is a cannabinoid that seems to be most responsible for sleep-- though it is sometimes hard to find things containing a higher CBD amount.

CBD is now becoming well known for its analgesic, anti spasmodic, anti bacterial and anti inflammatory properties. It's amazing!\n\nIf you want to create CBD at home from your cannabis you will need to help the process and decarboxylate with the use of an oven or other heat implement. There are various sites that talk about decarboxykation. I prefer this one as it is very specific and shows the graph that most people point to:\nhttp://cannabischris.com/2012/10/decarboxylation-of-cannabis/\n\nThe author describes the two step process for decarbing plant matter with a high CBD content. If you follow these instructions you will decarb your CBD. I hope this helps!\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nBefore you begin to decarboxylate your flower for CBD, I would suggest using a strain that has a high CBD content to ensure you get the most from your flower. Strains that contain a higher CBD content than most include Charlotte’s Web, Harlequin, or even ACDC. There are a ton more. That’s just a few to get you started. I would suggest doing a little bit of investigating on your local dispensary/delivery service’s menu before purchasing your CBD strain. Most places will provide the percentage of THC and CBD in each strain.\n\nWhen decarboxylating CBD, it should be done at a higher temperature than you’d use for THC since CBD has a higher boiling point. Separating the cannabinoids at home is a little bit more difficult to do without having the industrial machine’s precision. To decarboxylate your CBD, it’s best to do so at 245 degrees F for about 60-90 minutes. You will want to stir it every 10 minutes or so. You’ll know when your CBD has been decarboxylated, because your cannabis will be dry, which will make it crumble easily, and it will be darker than what you started out with.\n\nRyanG","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11189-markdown","title":"Do you carry all of the Evoxe Labarotories vape pens in at Tam Coalition?

Does CBD pass through to the milk and if so, does CBD pose any risks to breastfeeding infants?\r\n\"\n_____________________\nWe have touched on this subject previously regarding cannabis use during pregnancy as well. For breast feeding while using cannabis there are \"studies\" and opinions from both side that you can find as to whether it effects the infant in any way. \n\nMarijuana is secreted in milk with a reported milk/plasma ratio of 8:1. In one study of 27 women who used cannabis daily during breastfeeding, no differences in growth, mental and motor development were noted in this study population. Most studies suggest a significant absorption in infants following exposure via breast milk. Since the measure is usually of THC, the CBD content was not mentioned, but can assume there is CBD present. \n\nWhile an analysis of breast milk samples in chronic heavy users revealed an eight-fold increase in accumulation in breast milk compared to plasma, the dose obtained is still insufficient to produce clinical effects in the infant. It may be, however, sufficient to alter long-term neurobehavioral functioning. Infants exposed to marijuana through breastmilk will test positive in urine screens for long periods of time (2-3 weeks)\n\nThis also touches on the fact that if your baby for some reason has their urine tested and it is in fact positive for cannabis, the pediatrician will most likely report this to police/child protection etc.\n\nThe main point being that some of the cannabis will be in your breast milk and will be fed to you child. Since you do not know the end result that this will have one your child, do you want to take that chance?\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nCurrent research suggests that cannabinoids are passed through breast milk to children and can result in negative side effects for babies. CBD is an amazing cannabinoid and has been shown anecdotally and through new research to successfully treat a variety of medical conditions. Many of these conditions may be present or even become more difficult during pregnancy. Anxiety, for one, can often magnify during pregnancy and after birth due to fluctuating hormones. Nausea, is another condition that is often ever present during the first trimester of pregnancy as well.\n\nBut, what specifically do we know about the affect CBD may have on breastfeeding mothers? Unfortunately, there is little to no research on how CBD may affect a baby during breastfeeding. There is some research that indicates that THC becomes more concentrated in breastmilk, which is transferred to the baby. What is interesting, is that breastmilk naturally contains its own cannabinoids, which the baby ingests. These cannabinoids are thought to stimulate the desire to suckle and appetite development. They are also thought to help protect neurological development of a newborn.\n\nPrelimnary studies have shown that CBD has had no effect on developing embryos, however this study was done on mice. That said, there is no clinical study on the short or long term effects of ingesting CBD oil while breastfeeding.\n\nThese thoughts represent my opinion only.\n\nhttps://www.kalapa-clinic.com/en/cannabinoids-in-breast-milk/\n\n\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nHello,  the effects of CBD components on infants are still  unknown (little to no research done on this subject) ( Binnian Wei, James E.

Are you doing a superhigh CBD, low THC, like a 28 : 1 preparation in MCT oil? Typically migraines are controlled at about 15 drops twice daily but you will not obtain the full effect for three weeks. Taking a super concentrated allows you to spend far less money on your CBD medication because you take less medication to achieve the same effect. In addition you must eliminate all the triggers so please see the article I wrote under 'Answers' on migraines. Do not take extra calcium but you must take extra vitamin D3 in order to keep your blood level above 50 ng/mL.  Once you have a baseline of CBD onboard, you may still get a migraine but it's very easy to get rid of it. Migraine sufferers have and MAO-A snp in their genetic chart making them very chemically sensitive, and we have a hard time detoxifying so you must leave off all the toxic chemicals. Cigarette smoke and other toxic chemicals can cause a migraine in your emotions, diagnosed as depression. When you eat chemicals allergic to you may have a migraine in your gut, diagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome but don't let the doctors drug that, that is your body communicating with you. If you know you have a terrible pain in your neck and that is warning you the migraine is beginning. Treat your neck with cannabis salve and take a dose of D-ribose in order to stop the migraine before it fully involves. You must eliminate glutamate in your diet because you were extremely glutamate sensitive. You can Google and read about glutamate, The most famous one is monosodium glutamate and we are regularly poisoned in our foods with this chemical and it is neurologically toxic and can kill nerve cells.\nGood luck, I know you can do this without having to make your own medicine but you likely are over treating yourself with CBD tincture and you need to be much more diligent with removing toxic chemicals from your environment and your food.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11167-markdown","title":"Has anyone had success treating myofascial pain using CBD?","slug":"has-anyone-had-success-treating-myofascial-pain-using-cbd","content":"\"specifically, non/low thc options\"\n_____________________\nYes, CBD does help with treating myofascial pain, especially if you use a super concentrate CBD in MCT oil or other oil drops you can place under your tongue for twice a day dosing. You will not obtain full relief for approximately three weeks but it is well worth the wait. I usually start patients on a super concentrate CBD spread out throughout the day for the first week and then you can go to twice a day dosing and stay at that dose for three weeks. Adjusted dose after three weeks if you are not getting great results but you will not be high with super high CBD low THC, you will start to get well.  Check to see what your local dispensary carries but if it is in alcohol it tends to be too hot to hold under the tongue for absorption orally. In addition you may want to use the topical CBD because that will block pain for 4 to 6 hours.\nKeep in mind most fibromyalgia is actually due to vitamin D deficiency or an over consumption of calcium. Excess calcium through nutritional supplements can flood the calcium channels and actually kill the neurological system creating a lot more problems but the answer is not calcium it is taking vitamin D, which is not a vitamin it's a hormone. Many doctors still recommend calcium supplements but that hurts people who take it unless they have been proven to have a parathyroid imbalance but the vitamin D blood level is above 50 ng/ml. Many people have a vitamin D receptor snp in their genetic chart so they need a functional medicine doctor to help them be well.\nUse the CBD cannabis and correct your vitamin D and you most likely will start to feel well within a month.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11155-markdown","title":"I have intense migraines and I find too much THC actually makes them worse.

I am now thinking of trying a strain high in CBD. Is this a good strain for me?\"\n_____________________\nStrains with a high percentage of CBD often work well for migraines, pain relief, and anxiety. \n\nHarlequin may be one of the best strains available for migraine treatment. It typically has a CBD/THC ratio of 5/2. The CBD should enhance the pain-killing effects of THC while preventing its intoxicating effects. Furthermore, harlequin is a sativa dominant (75/25) strain, which should allow you to have an alert, clear head while managing your headaches during the day.\n\ndredmunds\n_____________________\nHarlequin is a great start in your experiments with CBD. It is a high-CBD strain - almost 2:1 ratio of CBD to THC - and it is readily available. CBD is often prescribed for headache, migraine, and chronic pain, so trying some higher CBD flower or other products is likely a worthwhile experiment. Additional options may be to try an even higher CBD strain, such as Charlotte's Web. You may also want to try other cannabis products with even higher CBD ratios. There are many tinctures and edibles that start around 4:1 and go up to 20:1 CBD to THC. Throughout the whole process, it may be a good idea to keep a written log of the strain and ratio you try, the dose, and how it affected your migraines.\n\namanda","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11149-markdown","title":"What's CBD and why would I give it to my pet?","slug":"whats-cbd-and-why-would-i-give-it-to-my-pet","content":"\n_____________________\nCBD, cannabidiol, is one of over 60 cannabinoids found in the marijuana plant. \n\nCannabidiol acts on endocannabinoid receptors found throughout all tissues and in all animals. It has been shown to be especially helpful in the treatment of pain and inflammatory conditions. It also has a mild sedative effect which can also be helpful for managing anxiety and insomnia. Furthermore, CBD has neuro-protective properties. \n\nUnlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive. Therefore, it can be given to your pet for medical purposes without disorienting your pet or affecting its cognition.\n\ndredmunds\n_____________________\nAs Dr. Edmunds mentioned, CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, which is a compound found in cannabis and hemp. \n\nWe do not make any health claims about cannabinoids or any of the other ingredients in our products. The results noticed by pet owners using our treats are empirical and anecdotal. Some of the use cases from those pet owners include:\n\n• Pain, inflammation, separation anxiety, mood disorders, and stress.\n• Anxiety from fireworks, grooming, car rides, panic, obsessive behavior, and socializing with animals or people.\n• Seizures: CBD is the same compound in Epidiolex (a pediatric epilepsy medication). Some pets are using Treatibles for epilepsy.\n• Cancer: Some pets are using Treatibles for the associated pain and symptoms of cancer.\n• Heart conditions and their associated symptoms.\n• Pancreatitis: Treatibles used to stimulate appetite, calm inflammation and reduce anxiety associated with the disease.\n• Musculoskeletal issues, joint/muscle pain, hip dysplasia, trouble walking, and arthritis.\n• Palliative care for cancer and other serious diseases\n• Quality of life at the end of life: Treatibles are used by some pets for support during hospice care.\n• Trauma and the accompanying emotional and side effects.\n• Appetite stimulation.\n\njess\n_____________________\nCBD is a non-psychotropic phytocannabinoid found in both Hemp and Marijuana.  The CBD in Treatibles is derived from hemp that is grown for medicinal purposes.  It is 100% legal and can be purchased in any state or over the internet.  \n\nWe are not veterinarians and cannot make any health claims about cannabinoids or any of the other ingredients in our products. However, all animals have an endocannabinoid system which regulates many homeostatic functions and can provide overall health and wellness.  \n\nThe American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association (AHVMA)  conducted a survey of pet owners and found that 61.8% to 95% of the participants rated the health benefits of CBD-laced treats for their pets as 'moderate to excellent:'  http://www.ahvma.org/wp-content/uploads/AHVMA-2016-V42-Hemp-Article.pdf\n\nThe testimonials for CBD use with pets, as posted on the AVMA website, are similar to the testimonials we receive for Treatibles:  https://www.avma.org/news/javmanews/pages/130615a.aspx\n\nOur customer testimonials tell us that Treatibles have helped provide their pets with relief from  a myriad of conditions including pain,  inflammation, seizures, anxiety, cancer, and more.\n\nThis study concluded that cannabinoids could help prevent the affects of inflammatory disorders such as allergic skin diseases in dogs. \n\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22738050\n\nThis study found CBD to have anticonvulsant effects in animals: \n\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22520455\n\nThis study shows that CBD has an anti-anxiety and antidepression effect in animals:\n\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24923339\n\nlisag\n_____________________\nThis question has been very thoroughly answered in the postings below. From a veterinary perspective, I have found many pets with anxiety, GI distress, and seizure disorders benefit from CBD.   Like with any other medication, the keys to safe and effective use are in choosing the right preparation and giving the correct dosage. Just like with us humans, the amount (in milligrams) CBD is critical to success. My very strong recommendation to anyone who wants to use any type of cannabis for their pets is to get the advice of a veterinarian that has experience with using cannabis as medicine. If that is not available to you where you live, I have two resources that will be helpful. My book, \"The Ultimate Pet Health Guide\" is a roadmap for pet owners to integrate nutrition, holistic care, and Western medicine to keep pets healthy. \n\ngaryr","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11144-markdown","title":"Can I vape CBD oil?
