Is there a difference between hemp CBD or CBD with THC from marijuana? \"\n_____________________\nYes CBD can be extremely beneficial for people suffering from fibromyalgia. The chemical compound in CBD helps reduce inflammation, which would alleviate your muscle pain. There are several differences between CBD oil and hemp derived oil. CBD oil is extracted from the actual cannabis plant, whereas hemp derived oil is extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant. The seeds of a hemp plant contain very low levels of CBD when compared to a cannabis plant, which can have high levels of CBD. \nHemp derived oil is used mainly for health benefits, while CBD oil is used medicinally. Hemp seeds are high in Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin E, and other beneficial aspects. \n\nnsavelli\n_____________________\nMr. Savelli has some very good ideas concerning CBD.  Every fibromyalgia pt is different.  In my experience,  I usually recommend pt's try products that have both CBD & THC (especially if pt's have sleep issues as well).  Mr. Savelli also mentioned omega-3's in hemp seed as well which is also a good suggestion;  omega-3's from fish oil, hemp, or even flaxseed are all good choices.  I would add that fibro treatment is tricky and needs to be multidisciplinary.  I've had the best success when also including for the pt:  1) a daily mild exercse & stretch regimen  &  2) cognitive behavioural psychotherapy (to retrain your brain to handle pain).  I hope all these tips prove useful!\n\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11908-markdown","title":"How much CBD do I need to take in order to help with my chronic pain?","slug":"how-much-cbd-do-i-need-to-take-in-order-to-help-with-my-chronic-pain","content":"\"Is there a difference between different types of CBD? I am new to cannabis and have struggled with chronic pain for some time following a car accident. I do not want to take pharmaceuticals and I am not interested in THC and the high associated with it. If I take CBD, what kind do I take, how much and in what form. It seems very confusing to me. My state is not yet legal, will that complicate things?\"\n_____________________\nCBD can be great for chronic pain management, depending on what you may be dealing with, because it is used to reduce inflammation. It is also great for people that do not want the psychoactive effects you get from THC, but still want to get the medical benefits you get from the cannabis plant. \nIf you are in a state that is not legal, that can complicate things, but fortunately, hemp derived CBD oil is not regulated the same way cannabis, so hemp derived CBD is legal in most states. There are products available in many different varieties, such as gummies, vape pens, oil tinctures, gel capsules, topicals, and many other forms so you can find the product that works best for you.  \n\nnsavelli\n_____________________\nCBD is a compound found in cannabis the way vitamin C is in oranges.  Is the vitamin C in lemons different? Of course not.  The effects of cannabis in humans result from the interplay of many compounds in the plant, of which CBD is just one.  While some of the others (eg THC) have psychoactivity, CBD by itself does not.  Whether taking a given amount of CBD is reliably associated with a reduction in pain as experienced by most patients is a question that has not yet been scientifically answered, although there is no shortage of answers on the internet.  But at the same time it appears that CBD is not particularly toxic to humans at any dose, making it remarkably safe to give it a try.  Some preparations consist of CBD extracted from cannabis by itself, others combine it in various ratios with other cannabis compounds, and some patients prefer using a cannabis strain bred specifically to express a lot of CBD relative to other compounds (eg Harlequin).  It is confusing because, unlike penicillin or Prozac, there is no scientifically validated protocol for taking CBD.  Many patients have reported benefit in finding a particular ratio of CBD:THC that reduces discomfort without compromising focus or intellectual function.  There is no substitute for cautious experimentation, and you might begin by reading this short article to get some background information: (https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana).  \n\ndrelkind","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11907-markdown","title":"Can CBD help me with the stress I feel day in and out?","slug":"can-cbd-help-me-with-the-stress-i-feel-day-in-and-out","content":"\"Sometimes I feel anxiety and sometimes just stress, but I want to know if cannabis can help me.

Some people have experienced a decrease in stress and anxiety when using CBD.\n\nSome of the benefits you may have heard about from medical cannabis are the same for CBD.\n\nFrom my understanding, CBD promotes neurogenesis which has a calming effect and promotes stress relief. \n\n \n\nBartSmart","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11906-markdown","title":"I have terrible IBS and want to know if CBD may help with intestinal issues?","slug":"i-have-terrible-ibs-and-want-to-know-if-cbd-may-help-with-intestinal-issues","content":"\"I'm not interested in being high, but someone told me that CBD may be able to help me.\"\n_____________________\nThere is far more reason to try CBD than not to.  There are interesting laboratory science reports showing possible ways it may be helpful, and anecdotal reports of benefit in IBS, along with virtually no reports of adverse effects.  You may find through experimentation that varying the CBD:THC ratio of the preparation you are using may lead you to the most beneficial formula for your symptoms.  Good luck.\n\ndrelkind\n_____________________\nHello,\nActivating cannabinoid receptors has been shown to  inhibit  gastrointestinal fluid secretion and inflammation in animal  models.  Several studies indicate that cannabinoids in marijuana bind  with  cannabinoid receptors in the digestive tract, especially the small  and  large intestine.\n\nFurthermore, both CBD and THC have been  shown  to reduce the inflammatory response in patients with autoimmune   diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, lupus and celiac disease; both CBD   and THC have  also been shown to help alleviate pain.\n\n\"CBD may  interact at extra-cannabinoid system  receptor sites, such as   peroxisome proliferator-activated  receptor-gamma. This strategic   interaction makes CBD as a potential  candidate for the development of a   new class of anti-IBD drugs.\"\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22815234\n\n\"CBD   targets enteric reactive gliosis, counteracts the inflammatory   environment ... in human colonic cultures derived from UC patients.   These actions lead to a reduction of intestinal damage. Our results   therefore  indicate that CBD indeed unravels a new therapeutic strategy   to treat  inflammatory bowel diseases.\" \nhttp://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0028159\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11905-markdown","title":"I have a terrible sunburn.

I don't have personal experience in treating sunburn with CBD, but in theory it should help reduce some inflammation of the skin and help to keep you calm while it's healing. If you have open sores or any physical symptoms other than inflammed skin, you may want to visit a doctor. Otherwise, look for CBD products that are alcohol free and free from other chemicals that irritate your skin. Aloe is good for sunburn, too, as is staying hydrated. Prevention is the best medicine!
