It does not interact with SSRI medications and seems to prevent withdrawal symptoms that are associated with depression. I see immediate mood improvement with increased socialization, expression of feelings and talkativeness. 30mg per day is often effective of high quality, organic hemp CBD.\n\ndrblair","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7966-markdown","title":"What is best type of cannabis for depression and lethargy?","slug":"what-is-best-type-of-cannabis-for-depression-and-lethargy","content":"\"I am depressed. Tired and I have fibro and bursitis on my left hip. Is there any strain that will help and not make me sleepy??\"\n_____________________\nYes! There are plenty of strains that will not make you sleepy -- in fact, a good sativa should give you more energy, boost your mood, and pick you up off the couch. Stay away from indica strains, which can be sleep-inducing for some people (myself included). \n\nI would recommend strains with high THC such as Sour Diesel or Green Crack. Both are sativa-dominant hybrid strains that are great for lifting depression and enhancing feelings of well-being. A small amount in the morning should help jumpstart your day, much in the same way that a cup of coffee might, but without the nasty side effects of caffeine.\n\nrebeccaspence\n_____________________\nI suffer from depression as well, being tired, and in pain more often than not with neck issues, I feel you! Depression can be a tricky thing to treat in my experience, but what has really been working for me is a mix of low dose vape pens by Alchemy. I've been using Awaken & Explore in the mornings and when I hit that afternoon slump. I use Relax at night to help me sleep when I'm in pain, or just stressed out and I'm able to get up in the morning no problem. I also have Inspire but I find that I use it less than the others, it's just not my jam. These blends are infused with botanicals as well, and I really like that. the flavor is lovely and reminds me of herbal teas. It's a great way to dip your toe into cannabis treatment for mental health I've found because the low doses are easier to track and control. You're not all-in all of a sudden. It's very gentle. \r\n\r\nAs for pain, I've recently discovered these transdermal patches by Mary's Medicinals. You put them on the inside of your wrist during flare ups and it really helps with spasms and muscle pain. They last for 12 hours and are pretty amazing. You don't feel high, it just goes to work on your pain, much the way anti-inflammatories might. The patch is skin-colored (if you're white) and can also be placed on the ankle. The combination of the Alchemy low-dose pens and the transdermal patches has been such a winner for me when it comes to depression and pain. \r\n\r\nI hope you get to feeling better really soon, depression is the worst, and you should pat yourself on the back for reaching out and doing some good self-care. You deserve to feel better, you have worth and are valuable to the world. Don't let your depression tell you otherwise.\n\nscalvosa","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7949-markdown","title":"What strains can you recommend for depression and obesity?","slug":"what-strains-can-you-recommend-for-depression-and-obesity","content":"\n_____________________\nSome strains that might help treat both obesity and depression are Grapefruit Sativa and Cherry Pie.

In fact many people are reporting complete resolution of PTSD because CBD has specific pathways to block the amygdala reconsolidation while enhancing the ability to extinguish bad memories. CBD also restores the endocannabinoid system balance by inhibiting FAAH enzyme that breaks down \nour anandamide and 2-AG. In addition CBD normalizes the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis modulating adrenaline and cortisol. About 60mg of CBD may be needed.\n\ndrblair","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10223-markdown","title":"I started taking a cbd 20:1 tincture for anxiety and depression.","slug":"i-started-taking-a-cbd-20-1-tincture-for-anxiety-and-depression","content":"\"I'm not noticing any difference, it's been 2 weeks. I take several drops several times a day. The drops seem like such a tiny amount. I want to feel uplifted, should I try a higher thc/cbd ratio? I'm new to this and really have a lot to learn\"\n_____________________\nWell my first question is, are you taking enough of the CBD? Usually when it is a tincture and it says 20:1, usually the dosage is a larger dose than just a couple drops so please look on your bottle, maybe you're supposed to be taking a teaspoon, I don't know what your bottle says. Most tinctures also encourage you to increase your dosage every 2 to 3 days until you obtain the desired effect. You could try a lower dose of CBD with a higher ratio of THC if you feel that's what you need, your gut instinct could be correct.\nPlease, search and review the article 'CBD 101' on our website and you may also want to review 'Cannabis 101' to learn more about your medicine.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10207-markdown","title":"Do I need a medical marijuana card to buy pure CBD?","slug":"do-i-need-a-medical-marijuana-card-to-buy-pure-cbd","content":"\"I live in Nevada where marijuana is both medically and recreationally legal.

How do I alleviate that symptom?","slug":"cannabis-sometimes-makes-me-depressed-how-do-i-alleviate-that-symptom","content":"\n_____________________\nCannabis is generally considered a depressant. As a result, it can cause you to feel slowed down, and even down in the dumps. Some studies have suggested that cannabis's mood elevating properties are more impactful at low doses, while high doses of cannabis can create poor moods after long term, heavy use.\n\nCannabis is also highly variable from strain to strain. I have found strains that are outright miserable to smoke and some that just leave me wanted anything else. It is also possible, that from time to time, you are finding strains that you do not enjoy and that there are others that you do. \n\nYou could also find that you are predisposed to depression and that it seems like the cannabis is causing this, but actually it is just coming through when you consume the plant.\n\nTaking these three chunks of info into consideration, I try to monitor my moods and strains together to draw any correlating conclusions from my own use. It could be that you are not finding the best strains, it could also be the amount of cannabis that you use, and it could also just be your own body. \n\nTo alleviate this  I would take a journal of my moods and cannabis use in a set period of time. Try to see what correlates and see what you find about yourself.\n\nryan\n_____________________\nI have noticed that strong Indica strains can sometimes lead to deep personal reflection and thought which can be a downer and considered \"depressing\"- it is important to remember that people all react differently to cannabis so one strain that is an anti-depresent for one person may not work perfectly for yourself. \n\nI would recommend remembering the strain name that made you feel depressed and stay away from that one particular kind. Hope this helps :)\n\nBartSmart","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9855-markdown","title":"What are the best terpenes for anxiety and depression?","slug":"what-are-the-best-terpenes-for-anxiety-and-depression","content":"\"What are some strains that have these terpenes? \"\n_____________________\nHere is a link to an article that talks about terpenes, anxiety and depression and also a you tube video on terpenes...\n\nhttps://cannabisnow.com/alleviating-anxiety-cannabis/\nhttps://youtu.be/bN3QRSjCnS8\n\nPiantaTinta","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9643-markdown","title":"Can I get a medical marijuana card for a medical diagnosis of depression and anxiety?","slug":"can-i-get-a-medical-marijuana-card-for-a-medical-diagnosis-of-depression-and-anxiety","content":"\n_____________________\nYes you can!
