However, with Medical cannabis treatment, it is strongly recommended to start low and go slow with the dose.  Please do not self-medicate with cannabis for any medical condition without proper consultation and prescription from an authorized health care provider. If you are new to medical cannabis, your authorized healthcare provider will recommend the appropriate dosing scale to help manage your symptoms. Also, it is important to discuss with your physician your desire to decrease or stop using any prescribed analgesic, narcotics, opioid, opiates and/or any psychoactive drugs. \n\nYemisiNP","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_12224-markdown","title":"If I make an MCT oil using Floracy Full Extract Cannabis Oil and each 1ml dropper full is 10-13mg THC/12-15mg CBD how strong is that to help severe back pain?","slug":"if-i-make-an-mct-oil-using-floracy-full-extract-cannabis-oil-and-each-1ml-dropper-full-is-10-13mg-thc-12-15mg-cbd-how-strong-is-that-to-help-severe-back-pain","content":"\"@\"\n_____________________\nIt's great that you know the dosage of your homemade tincture! The amount of tincture necessary to help with pain is different for every individual depending on their unique endocannabinoid system and prior experience with cannabis. In general, we recommend that first-time consumers or those unsure of their dosage \"start low and go slow\": start with a small amount of product, wait 20-30 minutes to let the full effects manifest, and then decide if taking more would be helpful for your goals.\n\nFor reference, 10mg of THC is considered a \"standard\" dose for edibles.

I have depression due to chronic pain, ptsd and anxiety as well, all from the accident that changed my life.  \"\n_____________________\nI had a similar situation where after a car accident I had headaches and eventhough smoking or vaporizing indica usually helps it did not alleviate the pain completely.

However, cannabis derived CBD is not available to the public due to the very remote possibility of the oil containing amounts of THC that may lead to psychoactive effects, if not prepared properly.\n\nHemp contains no more than 0.03% THC and thus lacks potential to cause psychoactive effects.  0.03% is equivelent to a ratio of 10,000CBD:3THC, which is about a 3300:1 ratio.

Need help in actual dosing and increments that are best.  Also what to expect. Tried looking up doctors in our area who would treat addiction with CBD but was unsuccessful.  \"\n_____________________\nHello,\nI'm glad to hear of your willingness to take steps  towards sobriety. However, overcoming a heroin addiction is a complex  and arduous task. We can help with ameliorating some  of the unpleasant symptoms of opiate withdrawal. However, it would be  medical malpractice to work as the primary physician, for what should be  a multi-modal treatment strategy led by a physician with specialized  training in addiction medicine. \n\nSymptoms of opiate withdrawal may include: muscle aches,  restlessness,  anxiety, runny nose, sweating, insomnia, abdominal  cramping, diarrhea,  nausea and vomiting. Cannabis should help alleviate  pain, anxiety,  insomnia, restlessness and nausea; these issues are best treated with a  decent amount of THC. Accordingly, I would likely discourage, unless   the patient were averse to THC, using a Very high CBD vs low THC  product, nor would I recommend Very high CBD strains in this situation.   \n\ndrkim\n_____________________\nHere are products and strains for you to consider:\n1. https://www.cbd.org/products/chocolates/1-1-chocolate - a \"whole plant\" 2:1 edible\n2. http://dosist.com/pen-relief/ - a 1:2 vaporizer pen\n3. http://kivaconfections.com/products/bars/ginger - a 1:1 \"whole plant\" edible\n\nSome CBD strains to consider: \nSweet and Sour Widow - a 1:1 indica strain \nPennywise - a 1:1 indica strain \nCannatonic - a 3:1 hybrid strain\n\nSome \"standard\" strains to consider (indica or indica dominant hybrids):\nGrand Daddy Purp\nNorthern Lights\nGod's Gift\nChocolate Chunk\n\nI hope this helps some, and best of luck!\n\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\nI'd like to second Dr. Kim's point about the complexity of managing opioid withdrawal, not to discourage it but to be realistic about what is involved.  Of course, the severity and duration of the symptoms will depend on the level of addiction, which we do not know.  While cannabis can be helpful, I'm fairly sure that CBD alone, or even with generous amounts of THC, will not be sufficient to ameliorate significant withdrawal symptoms.  A variety of non-opioid prescription medications such as clonidine can be extremely helpful in this situation, so I strongly encourage you to keep searching for a medical situation for managing the acute withdrawal phase. \n\ndrelkind","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_12211-markdown","title":"CBD for melanoma?","slug":"cbd-for-melanoma","content":"\n_____________________\nWhile evidence is still preliminary, we have an article detailing research in the British Journal of Pharmacology indicates that CBD and CBG may be beneficial as part of a treatment plan for skin cancer.

In  fact, in a comprehensive review of 132 studies, researchers found that  CBD, at several different dosages, did not adversely affect vital signs,  psychological function, motor function and did not produce toxic metabolites. However, there were no studies which surpassed dosages of  over 1500mg/day. I do not recommend that you experiment with taking  mega-doses of CBD, or anything for that matter.\nHope this helps!\nhttps://www.medicinalgenomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Bergamaschi_2011.pdf\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\n There is no known lethal dose of CBD in humans. It has apparently been fatal in monkeys at a dose of 200 mg/kg, which for a normal male human would be about 14,000 mg. But I wouldn't suggest trying to check it out. If you do take any prescription medications, 10,000 mg of CBD could be a sufficient dose to interefere with the metabolism of many of them. Otherwise, I'd mostly bet on some nausea and diarrhea. There are also essentially no reports of specific organ toxicity of CBD, but taking that much at one time of any biologically active substance could easily be toxic in ways that are not at all relevant in the reasonable dosage range. \n\ndrelkind","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_12083-markdown","title":"I'm trying to get a letter for CBD for my dog not for me.
