Some examples include aspirin, anticoagulants (blood thinners), such as warfarin or heparin, antiplatelet drugs such as clopidogrel, and NSAIDS, like ibuprofen or naproxen.  \n\nMarijuana may interfere with the way the body processes certain drugs using the liver's cytochrome P450 enzyme system.  As a result, the levels of these drugs may be increased in the blood and may cause increased effects or potentially serious adverse reactions.\n\nwendynp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10191-markdown","title":"Are edible brownies safe to eat?  ","slug":"are-edible-brownies-safe-to-eat","content":"\n_____________________\nIt depends on who made them.\n\nIf they are homemade it is safe to assume that the amount of THC will be inconsistent and can be quite large. If you approach all edibles with the mindset of \"I can always add more, but I cannot take any away after I eat it,\" you will have a better time. If they are professionally made and has accurate testing information try to take about 5mgs.\n\nAllow for two hours to take effect and if you decide to take more, take small portions. If you do accidentally take too much, drink lots of water and try to stay calm and comfortable. Common side effects like heart palpitations and drops in blood pressure can provoke anxiety but are not dangerous unless you have preexisting conditions.\n\nI hope this was helpful!\n\naaronseda","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10183-markdown","title":"How do you decide what form (edible, spray, etc) is appropriate for the outcome I'm looking for?

The doctor advised that he take a break every 3-4 days from his cannabis edibles. He eats 1/4 of a 1:1 THC:CBD macaroon cookie (3.75mgs) 2x day for 3 out of 7 days. He is still tired but feels less pain on cookie days. His doctor said he can only eat the cookies 3 days during the week.  But if he feels better why can't he just eat 1/4 cookie 2x day everyday? I don't care if he gets addicted, it's better than pain. Do he really need to take a break? I don't understand why.\"\n_____________________\nThe doctor may recommend to take a break because he is not completely informed on cannabis. If the current dosage and method is making your husband feel better, I would continue that regimen. \n\nCannabis is individualized to each persons endocannabinoid system; each person can achieve different results with the same dose. It has been found that ECS receptors can become desensitized to the THC molecule after heavy usage. If this happens, the patient will not receive the same medical benefits from the same amount of THC. I would suggest taking a THC-A pain reliever for that day, which can be found at evaonline.org, \"Better Relief\" Plant-Based Pain Relief. This is a non-psychoactive form of the medical cannabis and will not make your husband tired or desensitize his THC receptors. It will take away pain, oxidation, and inflammation. The ginger will also decrease muscle spasticity. \n\nContact your cannabis doctor today to speak more about raw dietary cannabis and how THC-A can be a great cannabis medicine.\n\nnixie\n_____________________\nI don't think you're MD specfically said to eat med cann edibles ONLY 3 days/ wk; \n I'm almost positive they were suggesting a break off weekly, a practice that in this case I completely agree with.  There are several issues going on here.  First,  the MD probably has your husband's best interests at heart and wants to prevent physiologic tolerance from building up, especially since it is difficult to find medications as effective as cannabis at treating the movement related issues and the MSK pain.  However, if it were my loved one, I wouldn't want them to develop an addiction to cannabis or even risk it especially if neuro-degenerative diseases like Parkinson's Dz where involved.  Parkinson's in my experience doesn't have the mood changes of Alzheimer's Disease but the mental status changes alone would have me try to avoid impairment-levels of cannabinoids if I had a loved one w/ Parkinson's Dz, especially given the increased fall/ accident risk.  Lastly,  in the literature and my own practice I am seeing pts developing syndrome such as CHS (Cannabis hyperemesis syndrome) where pts with super-high levels of  CBD  &/ or THC develop this awful cyclical throwing-up syndrome.  However this is your husband and I understand you're frustation.  So I do not get clumped in the same category as your past MD, I would just RECOMMEND you give a day or two off cannabis.  I just want to try to help you avoid some of the previously described issues but the decision is yours.  if he develops physiologic tolerance signs from daily use, there are some maneuvers that can be done.  We wish you and your husband well.\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10133-markdown","title":"Can eating cannabis edibles cause cancer?","slug":"can-eating-cannabis-edibles-cause-cancer","content":"\n_____________________\nThere is currently no evidence that shows that eating cannabis edibles can cause cancer. On the contrary, according to the American Cancer Association, studies so far have shown that cannabinoids can be safe in treating cancer. However, when taken by mouth, such as in baked goods, the THC is absorbed poorly and can take hours to be absorbed. Once it’s absorbed, it’s processed by the liver, which produces a second psychoactive compound (a substance that acts on the brain and changes mood or consciousness) that affects the brain differently than THC.\n\ntatiananp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10026-markdown","title":"What r the best edibles for 2017","slug":"what-r-the-best-edibles-for-2017","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9938-markdown","title":"Can I obtain a California medical marijuana card through your organization?

Most significant is onset time - edibles have a longer lag time between consumption and onset of effects whereas tinctures, when taken sublingually (or under the tongue) will most often have a much more rapid onset. This can be useful for patients, especially those newer to cannabis, as it allows you to regulate your dosing more easily.\n\njessicapeters","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9860-markdown","title":"What is the difference between edibles and tinctures?","slug":"what-is-the-difference-between-edibles-and-tinctures","content":"\n_____________________\nTinctures are an oil that you can drop into your food or take directly under the tongue, edibles is where the pot is cooked into food, such as brownies or cookies. :)\n\nfstish\n_____________________\nTinctures traditionally are in an alcohol base.
