Good luck on getting your card so you can have options in your own treatment or get active to change the laws.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nEach state has its own rules and hoops to jump through.

It has often been the case that a bill like this is passed without a deeper understanding of what medical marijuana can do for people with numerous conditions. The law in your state allows for low or no THC cannabis oils, and is a complete travesty and misunderstanding by law makers.\n\nYou have no options to obtain legal cannabis in your state at the moment, which is unfortunate as it is an option you should be afforded. The best option is to ally yourself with organizations that lobby for legalization and also to write your congressman and local law makers.\n\nI hope this helps.

I have also heard that there is a company called ArniCann that has topicals that use cannabinoids infused w/ arnica gel, a topical analgesic that I have been recc'ing in my practice for years.

The different genetics and growing conditions also produce a variety of effects. Indica is generally more sedating, relaxing and is better for pain and is thought to put one \"in da couch\", while sativa is more stimulating and helps with energy, mood, and appetite. Hybrids are a mix of these two plant types. CBD and THC are also found in variable levels in different plant types. My reccomendation is to try a number of different varieties and see what works best for you.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7169-markdown","title":"How does one in Florida obtain medical marijuana?","slug":"how-does-one-in-florida-obtain-medical-marijuana","content":"\n_____________________\nFlorida voters just passed a medical cannabis law that should provide more access to qualitfied patients.

So in answer to your question, once you are approved by a doctor to use cannabis for your medical concerns, you are able to use any type of cannabis product - with THC and CBD and anything else in-between. \n\nMost cannabis products tend to have THC in them, even the high CBD ones. The reason is that the cannabinoids work together to create their effect. Therefore, even if you are looking for a high CBD product, you may still want to have a small amount of THC in it to create what is know as the 'entourage effect'. Besides THC and CHD, there are lots of other cannabinoids that also work together to create this effect.\n\nmark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7158-markdown","title":"What type of cannabis to aid in panic attacks and anxiety?","slug":"what-type-of-cannabis-to-aid-in-panic-attacks-and-anxiety","content":"\"I want to stop using Xanax. \"\n_____________________\nI personally use cannabis for the very same reasons.  A major turning point in my realization that cannabis can be a very powerful medical tool was my discovery of Kurvana's Banana Smoothie vape cartridge.  I've been using it almost daily for a couple months now and have noticed a remarkable difference in my overall anxiety levels.  Banana Smoothie has both CBD and THC so for me it seems to provide the general mood boost of THC while the CBD regulates the head high so it doesn't interfere so much with cognitive abilities.  It's a very clear-headed functional effect that quells my anxiety and allows me to process things more calmly throughout the day.\r\n\r\nI would recommend trying higher CBD products in general for anxiety.  Personally I like the effects of a roughly balanced CBD to THC ratio, but if THC effects are not your thing you may still find relief with products that primarily contain CBD with little to no THC.\r\n\r\nHope you find something that works for you!\n\nbenson\n_____________________\nFor anxiety I have heard that anything >14:1 CBD:THC ratio is best. Also, I know people who treat anxiety with Cannabis by micro-dosing. A micro-dose product Ive tried are 5mg THC mints. I recommend starting with 1 and then adding more every 15-30 minutes until the desired sensation of calm is achieved. Few products are designed with micro-dosing in mind, and high THC levels can actually trigger anxiety.\n\nBartSmart\n_____________________\nFor starters, you are going to want to go with Indica or CBD strains and stay away from Sativa strains especially if you are a first time user. Sativa strains give you a \"head high\" that can backfire by giving the recipient anxiety. The Indica strains will give you a body calming affect, while CBD will give you the medical benefits of THC without the psychoactive qualities. \n\ngreendoorwest","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":336,"numPages":41,"currentPage":29,"id":5495,"name":"Medicinal Cannabis","slug":"medicinal-cannabis","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
