This is my initial use of CBDs for sleep. Dr recommended a vap \nand at least 8:1 ratio of CBD to THC. I have very severe insomnia. What products do you recommend. Is the pen itself seperate from the medication or are they sold together?   \"\n_____________________\nHave you received any improvement with the 8:1 CBD/THC product?  I assume you receive 2-3 hours of sleep and then wake again and have difficulty going back to sleep.  The vaporized product is excellent and potent during waking hours, but its effects are much shorter than an ingested product.  Speak to your provider about an edible at bedtime with a similar ratio and see if that offers significant improvement.\n\nNP Joshua\n_____________________\nYour 8:1  product may work for you but that would be if you were taking 1mg of THC but are you taking the correct dose? Please, be sure to read the label.\nIf you are using an oral spray, check to see how many sprays it will take to receive 1mg. If 1mg of THC is not enough, you may need to go to 2mg of THC and on up until you find your effective dose for sleep. It is the combination of CBD with THC that usually produces very effective sleep but the 8:1 is a very low dose and due to the CBDs it will also help with reducing inflammation.  However, as the other advisers have suggested an edible is more likely to keep you asleep. \n\ndrolson\n_____________________\n\r\nHello there, Let me share a thing or two with you.\r\n\r\nI'm  going to answer this from my single-handed experience since I've been suffering from Insomnia and chronic backache for a long time.\r\n\r\nCBD was suggested to me by a dear friend, I did a little bit research on it and here is what I have found:\r\n\r\nCBD stands for Cannabidiol.

I used to smoke pot which is legal in oregon and when I did I was taking on average 3 5mg vicoin a day and sometimes less. But since I moved the clinic I go to has a no pot policy... So they upped my pain meds..My regular Dr. left and now the new one is saying I basically don't need my clonopin which saved my life as I got to the point my panic and aniexty stopped me from living life at all. She is also threatening to take my pain meds away. I am livid honestly without them I couldn't walk 5 miles a day and do the simple things that consist of living. Can I stop the pain meds and smoke pot without the withdrawl I read about stopping the vicoden? help\n\"\n_____________________\nI'm terribly sorry for your current situation.  Using med cann to help pt's wean off opiates &/or benzodiazepines has been done by myself and the other HelloMD MD's.  Usually a slow, gradual course is done.  For example, if you are using opiates on schedule tid/ thrice daily, then try exchanging one of the doses with only-cannabis products (with opiates on hand for \"breakthrough\" pain just in case).  Once you find the proper mg cannabis dosage, one can slowly move towards \"cannabis only\" days for analgesia &/or for anxiety/ PTSD mgmt, thereby freeing you from the potential psych dependency/ abuse risk seen with both opiates and benzodiazepines when both of these classes of meds are used day-in/ day-out.  To increase the likelihood of success, it is also imperative that you are performing CBT talk therapy or something related,  mindfulness/ meditation work daily, daily mild exercise, and also PT for a truly holistic multi-modal treatment program  for your anxiety/ PTSD/cervicalgia/ lumbago.

Dr. Sank writes: \"Several more conservative and safe interventions should be attempted to help with insomnia related to sleep apnea before considering any cannabis product. ... If you've successfully implemented these interventions and already have good sleep hygiene but still have insomnia then you may consider a cannabis product to help with sleep.

My daily symptoms include (neuropathic) headaches, sleep disturbances, neurocognitive disorders, psychological problems, and more. Cannabis with (higher) THC helps me like no other medicine in the world. However, cannabis acts only for few hours then all symptoms come back. On the Internet, I read that the main difference between THC and CBD is that THC substitutes a function of natural \"receptors\" (works only symptomatically), but CBD restores their function (works currativelly). Unfortunatelly a dose of CBD does not give me any relief. My question is: is it please possible that my symptoms might gradually disappear with long-term therapy only on CBD or do I have to keep combine with THC to feel the effect?\"\n_____________________\nWell, as far as I've experience the CBD product, it gave me really good relief from my symptoms.\nI would like to say that if you want relief permenantly, you should wait and watch. CBD may give you temperory effect on your symptoms, but it will surely cure your diesease.\nTalking about THC, I really suggest you not to take the CBD product which include THC. Because THC simply makes you high and is illigel as well.\nYou can take any CBD product which contains less than 0.3% THC.\n\nI suggest you to take Green Roads World's CBD Oil (https://www.greenroadsworld.com/collections/cbd-cannabis-oils) for that.\n\nsebastianwross\n_____________________\nUnfortunately there is no 1 size fits all with cannabis and no 'silver bullet'. Most often symptom relief for any medical condition comes by slowly figuring out what combination of products, cannibinoids and possible ratios work for you. Many people believe that CBD is more effective when used in combination with THC and all the other cannbinoids-CBN, CBG, THCA and so on. This is called the entourage effect. THC can be very minimal and not cause a psychoactive high, especially when in combination with CBD.\n\nIn my experience talking with people, LYME is most often 'cured' by something other than cannabis-alternative treatments, etc. People I have spoken with indicate that cannabis is best for symptom relief for the inflammation, insomnia and pain associated. I am not a doctor but I would caution you if anyone says cannabis is a cure for your medical condition. I like to say it is a tool for potential health and wellness when used appropriately. \n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8695-markdown","title":"So is the \"Alta California \" brand for helping with insomnia?","slug":"so-is-the-alta-california-brand-for-helping-with-insomnia","content":"\n_____________________\nHi there!\n\nTheir website mission states: \"Alta California Botanicals is a Biopharmaceutical company focused on developing protocols and products to relieve Clinical Endo Cannabinoid Deficiency (CECD).\"\n\nIt looks like they create tinctures for a variety of different conditions, including insomnia.

Awake most of the night .\nThis morning I ache all over , head aches & nausea .\"\n_____________________\nI am not sure what is causing your head-aches and nausea, but it does not sound like one drop of 1:1 CBD:THC is enough for you (depending of course on the consentration). Rather than drops, take a look at the label and figure out how many milligrams you are taking. Try 2.5 mg to start, and gradually increase from there. A typical dose for someone that has difficulty sleeping is likely to be in the 5 - 10 mg range. Different people have different tolerances so start low and go up slowly. Also make sure your formulation is from and indica and not a sativa as this could have the opposite effect.\n\nmark\n_____________________\nAnother thing to consider is that CBD sometimes keeps people awake. You may want a tincture specifically for sleep. I have used one by Alta California that I liked. Often it is the THC that helps people sleep, but at just the right amount. Too much might keep you up or make you drowsy the next day and too little may not put you to sleep. Remember too that CBD counteracts some of the effects of THC and as THC is more likely what may put you to sleep a 1:1 may not be the correct ratio for sleep. Last, the cannibinoid most in the spotlight for sleeping right now is CBN, so you may want to look for a sleep product that has some CBN. I hope this helps.\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nI agree with Mark and Pamela, you may be taking too small of a dose, but with the feedback I have had from my members, CBD in most cases do not help with sleep. Alot of CBD strains are sativa strains which can be alerting and stimulating. What I have seen to be the most beneficial is a High THC tincture which is a Indica strain. This is body relaxing and in low doses can be very helpful wih sleep. The great thing about tinctures is you can start off with a very low dose and slowly increase the drops until you get your desired result (deeper and longer sleep!) When the dose is kept low you can get the medicial effects without the uncomfortable \"high\" effects of the THC. \n\nPiantaTinta\n_____________________\n \nHey there,\n\nI suggest you should try CBD products with less THC content.\n\nCBD is a big promoter of sleep and it has helped many insomniacs.\n\nCBD is known for its relaxing and soothing effect on many mental ailments like insomnia, anxiety and depression.\n\nI had a irregular sleeping cycle and CBD products with low THC content has helped me a lot.\n\nI'm going to insert a link below that might help you with your problem.\n\nhttps://www.greenroadsworld.com/collections/all\n\nHope this was most helpful!\n\n\n\n\n\nsebastianwross","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8616-markdown","title":"I have insomnia, what products should I take to help with it?","slug":"i-have-insomnia-what-products-should-i-take-to-help-with-it","content":"\n_____________________\nyou should take league of legends products\n\nfskinner","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8614-markdown","title":"Cannabis use during pregnancy","slug":"cannabis-use-during-pregnancy","content":"\"Hi there\n\nmy sister recently found out she is pregnant. She uses cannabis daily to help with anxiety and sleep. I have come across conflicting information when it come to smoking during pregnancy. She has been reducing her use for a while but does not want to stop completely. Her works hours begin at 330am and smoking helps regulate her sleep. Does anyone have any helpful information on smoking while pregnant? Should she switch to edibles instead? Thanks so Much! \"\n_____________________\nThe reason why you've come across conflicting information is most likely because the studies--which are few and far between--so far present results that fall on each side of the aisle: one side concluding that consuming cannabis while pregnant has negative effects on the baby in utero, while another side finding that it doesn't. We published an article on this very debate a while back. If this is something your sister can discuss with her doctor, that's something she should do to help her make as informed a decision as possible.\n\nlyp\n_____________________\nI am not a doctor but I believe any doctor your sister would talk to would probably warn her against smoking marijuana during pregnancy. I'll point you to a video we filmed last year that talks about a study done on this topic.\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5745c73fb8c3a9000c000008/hellomd-live-episode-4\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nI just wanted to chime in here and say that I stopped using cannabis while pregnant and every medical professional I spoke to said I made the right move. I had awful morning sickness and was tempted to treat it with marijuana, but I didn't as I was too scared of the effects on the baby. \n\nWatch the video that Pamela posted here--our chief medical officer says \"Just don't do it!\" He cites a study where pregnant women who used marijuana had a higher rate of pre-term birth than women who did not. \n\nIt's frustrating to treat anything while pregnant--not a lot of studies have been done on taking things while pregnant, so it's hard to get a definitive answer. But I would encourage you to tell your sister to stop using cannabis while she's pregnant. I know it will be frustrating for her (my husband uses cannabis to fight insomnia, so I understand how important it can be for some people for that issue!), but I really would tell her to stop. If she's not convinced, encourage her to talk to her doctor(s) as well.\n\ngabriella\n_____________________\nI know this is a topic with a lot of conflicting views, but I believe the only 'medical' response is that the safety of cannabis use during pregnancy and nursing is unknown.  It is for that reason that no clinical professional is willing to OK using it in those circumstances.  Despite the lack of clinical science here, we have to be aware that an enormous uncontrolled experiment has been going on in which large numbers of women are using cannabis during pregnancy without supervision.  All we know about the outcome is that, so far, no obvious problems have consistently appeared in the population attributable to this.  On the one hand, it can give a sense of reassurance that any direct effect is statistically small enough that it hasn't become obvious.  On the other hand, of all matters in healthcare, the safety of children during gestation is at the top of the list.  Because the stakes are so high reason demands the utmost caution and the most conservative recommendation.\n\ndrelkind","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8572-markdown","title":"Is this used for sleeping?","slug":"is-this-used-for-sleeping","content":"\"What is the best & quickest way to get a good night's sleep?\"\n_____________________\nYes, cannabis can be used to help you get a good night's sleep--whether you're having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Have a look at this roundup of Q&As on the topic of insomnia--I think you'll find some helpful tips in the answers provided.\n\nlyp\n_____________________\nI highly recommend using a vape pen. I was spending a lot of money on tinctures to help my insomnia. I recently invested in a good pen and an Indica (Blackberry Kush) oil. I will never go back. It's very effective - 2-4 short hits from the pen and you feel the results almost immediately. I now keep my pen at my bedside. Unlike smoking, it's clean (no combustion, only vapor, so no toxicity).
