CBD is a potent anti-inflammatory and I would reccomend a CBD rich tincture of whole plant cannabis. Experiment with different ratios of CBD:THC. Inhaled cannabis has a more rapid onset, and may be of benefit in treating acute symptoms and for providing immediate relief. Topicals also work rapidly and usually do not cause strong psychoactive effects. Edibles are also a good option, and I would start with a does of around 10 milligrams.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11187-markdown","title":"These chocolates look delicious.

Terra bites are very effective for sleep at night but most people only need 1-3 to induce sleep. (average THC dose needed 5-8mg)\n\nIf you are really tempted by them you may want to find an alternative product.\n\nUsing only what you need helps keep tolerance down and is the most economical way to use cannabis. Regularly ingesting higher than needed doses of cannabis will increase your tolerance to the products.\n\nAdditionally, ingesting more THC than needed can produce unwanted and prolonged dysphoria (psychedelic effects) and high doses of cannabis can cause hyper-emesis (vomiting) in some people who over do it with edibles.\n\nPerhaps that makes eating the whole canister less appealing.\nBe well.\n\ndrgerhart","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11172-markdown","title":"I am spending so much money on high CBD low THC tinctures I now want to try to make my own. Any advice?","slug":"i-am-spending-so-much-money-on-high-cbd-low-thc-tinctures-i-now-want-to-try-to-make-my-own-any-advice","content":"\"I feel fortunate that I have found high CBD/low THC tinctures work for my migraine pain. Unfortunately, I can easily spend $200 a month on just this tincture alone and I still need other medication as well. I would like to try making my own tincture to see if it works and if I can have a cost savings. I am wondering what the best method is alcohol vs glycerin, how to figure out potency as well as dosing ie not taking more than 2.5mg of the in one dose. I'd appreciate any advice based on experience. I am even considering once I create this to get lab testing just to be sure I get it right!\"\n_____________________\nI may be able to help you. 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_11169-markdown","title":"How do I know I'm using the right dose of Treatibles?","slug":"how-do-i-know-im-using-the-right-dose-of-treatibles","content":"\"I have a 220 lb. English Mastiff with arthritis.\"\n_____________________\nEvery animal's physiology is different and this impacts:\n\na) the amount of time it takes for the Treatibles to take effect, \nb) the ideal amount for each serving, and \nc) the frequency of each serving\n\nWe suggest starting with the recommended serving (1 mg. per 10 lbs. of weight), spreading each serving out in 4-8 hour intervals, then keenly monitoring your pet's response.  If your pet does not demonstrate improvement within one hour, give them another half to whole treat.  \n\nPay close attention to your pet and your pet will show you what it needs.  Remember – you know your pet better than anyone else!\n\nlisag\n_____________________\nWow! What a gift your pup must be! We have found the most effective dosage for pups is around 1mg for every 10 lbs. That's how we've dosed our smaller treats.\n\nWith heavier dogs, we suggest utilizing our larger chews as they contain 2.5mg per chew. Somewhere between 6-8 chew per dosage would suit your pup well. \n\nI'd suggest starting on the lower end (4-6) and working your way up to the recommended dosage. If he/she doesn't like the chews alone, try crushing them up and adding them to a favorite meal.\n\nAs Lisa mentioned, keep an eye on how your furball is behaving.

You would need to look at the extract to get to the right dose. Once taken, give it at least an hour to feel the full effect (if a tincture it liquid), and longer if its an edible (up to two hours).\n\nOnce you understand how THC affects you, you can experiment with stronger dosages. Its very dependent on your individual tolerance. I personally am good for about 30mg, whereas I know others who can easily consume 100mg or more without feeling that its too strong for them.\n\nmark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11097-markdown","title":"What is the suggested topical and dosage for basal cell carcinoma treatment?","slug":"what-is-the-suggested-topical-and-dosage-for-basal-cell-carcinoma-treatment","content":"\n_____________________\nThe first thing to do if you suspect any type of skin lesion is to visit a dermatologist to get a expert's opinion on what your skin lesion is. In the United States 3.5 million people a year are diagnosed with skin cancer. Out of these about 76,000 are melanomas and about 10,000 people die from it each year. With melanoma the original source is sometimes never found or is in a place that you can't see such as between your toes on the bottom of your foot. Bob Marley passed away from a aggressive melanoma that started under the nail of his foot.\n\nThere are many anecdotal stories about \"cures\" of all types of cancers. A \"cure\" by definition is over 5 years without a recurrence. There have been studies in laboratories around the world on cells that show promise about various forms of cannabis killing cancer cells as well as on animals that are promising. There is a new study of 50,000 people beginning in Canberra Australia that is testing a special strain of cannabis developed in Israel to treat melanoma ALONG WITH traditional  treatments to see if it increases survival.\n\nI would not suggest any topical to \"treat\" a basel cell cancer.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11093-markdown","title":"Is anyone taking cannabis for a glioblastoma (GBM) brain tumor?

It is very helpful in treating the side effects from conventional therapy. Cannabis has also been shown to kill cancer cells, prevent metastasis and angiogenesis. I would utilize an organically grown, CO2 extracted oil with a balance of CBD and THC, depending on the effects to the patient. Inhaled cannabis may also be helpful. In the future we may see cannabis and cannabinoids injected directly into tumors. Consulting with a Neurosurgeon or Neurologist who is utilizing cannabis for their patients may be of benefit.\n\nandrewvanmd\n_____________________\nJust to follow up on Dr. Vanderveers great answer. There has need no definitive study to show that cannabis, in any form, has cured cancer in humans. There have been many reports from patients, animals and lab tests that seem to suggest that cannabis can help in certain types of cancers. \nThere have been many human trials of medications that do show that in certain cases they can cure cancer. What this means to me is that cannabis can usually not hurt you if you take it to help your cancer but that I would not give up on \"traditional\" types of treatments totally.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11078-markdown","title":"I have pain related to the sciatic nerve.

She may also benefit from inhaled cannabis.\n\nandrewvanmd\n_____________________\nThat would seem to be a pretty high dose of THC for someone whose tolerance is likely to be pretty low. \r\nBut if you drop the total dosage she will get less CBD and CBN-- CBN seems to be the important one for sleep.
