My normal weight is 127, I currently weigh 90 pounds and cannabis is all that helps me. What can I do? I was on Cymbalta 120mg, MegestrolAcetate 40 mg- 4 teaspoons a day, Gabapentin 600mg 3 times a day, Oxycodone 20mg every 6 hours and Metoprol 12.5 mg-twice a day. I no longer take most of these meds due to cost and because I lost my doctor. I need help.... \"\n_____________________\n\nHello. Medical Marijuana would be a great alternative for pain management. I would recommend starting at 1:1 THC:CBD low mg (2mg for example), titrating upwards with CBD dominance if needed. THC may exacerbate Anxiety, so I would recommend against titrating towards a THC dominant ratio. Medical marijuana may also serve as an appetite stimulant and help with depression. THC demonstrates analgesic, anti-emetic, and anti-inflammatory properties, whereas CBD possesses anti-psychotic, anti-seizure, and anti-anxiety properties. Even if you don’t have insurance, you can get low-cost or free health at certain health care centers in your area. If you don't have insurance, you may be able to work out a payment plan. You can find a list of federally funded health centers at https://findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov/index.html.\n\ntatiananp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8457-markdown","title":"What do you recommend for chronic, extreme sciatica pain that is not psychoactive?","slug":"what-do-you-recommend-for-chronic-extreme-sciatica-pain-that-is-not-psychoactive","content":"\n_____________________\nOnce you have had an assessment by a physician and the cause of your pain is found, if other modalities fail then MMJ may be an option for you.

Yes cannabis has the potential to help with chronic constipation. Constipation can be a symptom of another digestive or physical disorder, could be related to diet and activity level, possibly a side effect from medication like opioids, iron supplements or chronic laxative use, or even related to stress and anxiety. I always recommend examining your life and lifestyle to determine if there are other ways to improve your constipation naturally. Some common ways to help are: increasing your daily water intake, increasing fruit and vegetable intake, increasing fiber intake, decreasing use of unnecessary medications, decreasing excess meat, cheese, and fats in the diet, and exercising 30 minutes daily. Cannabis helps people with constipation. Once you've tried to help change some factors in your life to help yourself, you could try vaporizing cannabis or ingesting cannabis to see if it helps you too.

Studies show that combining THC and CBD may improve their therapeutic effects. Both cannabinoids work together synergistically and work better in combination with one another than they do on their own. They address the pain through their analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Clinical research has shown that a 1:1 CBD:THC ratio is most effective for pain. Numerous randomized clinical trials have demonstrated safety and efficacy for Sativex (a 1:1 THC:CBD medication) in central and peripheral neuropathic pain, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer pain. \n \n\nRusso, E.
