While the hemp plant does not contain the same CBD levels as the cannabis plant, it does have trace amounts of CBD that can be beneficial, in addition to other compounds like Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin E, and other nutritional benefits that can be great for your health and wellness. \n\nnsavelli","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11898-markdown","title":"How do I find a product that is safe to use and works well?

There are certain things you will want to be aware of before buying hemp derived CBD products. The first would be to always try to find the country of origin, and the type of farm that harvested the hemp. There are many hemp products claiming to be medically beneficial, but they contain industrially grown hemp from China, or other unsafe grows.\nIn addition, you also want to look for products that are lab tested, so you can see exactly what is in the product, whether it is the CBD percentage or that it is free from pesticides. You also want to make sure that the company is transparent, and is able to answer any questions you may have.\n\nnsavelli","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11874-markdown","title":"Leg cramps","slug":"leg-cramps","content":"\"Hello, I get leg cramps while sleeping and with exercise.

Are you eating enough fresh, raw organic greens and getting early morning sunshine while staying well hydrated? You may want to try oral CBD tincture or edible in addition to reduce inflammation in your body.

","slug":"medical-marijuana-or-cbd-oil-for-tremors","content":"\"I have severe Essential Tremors in my hands and do not like side effects of traditional meds associated with Essential Tremors. I'm in NY where MM is legal. Not sure about CBD oil. Suggestions? Thanks\"\n_____________________\nHello,\nHere is an excellent answer to your answer, provided by Dr. Sherellen Gerhart:\n\nThe Endocannabinoid system that is present in our own bodies plays a  partial role in voluntary movement. There is a relatively high  concentration of CB1 receptors in the Basal Ganglia and related  structures. This is  the part of the brain mostly commonly affected in  Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders.\n\nSurveys of  patients with movement disorders (average age over 65) show reported  improvements in bradykinesia (slow or halting-type movements), muscle  rigidity, and tremor with use.\n\nA small study done in 1986 showed  Cannabidiol (CBD) produced some reduction of dystonia (inappropriate  movement/a type of spasticity) at doses under 300mg/day. This is much  higher dose than generally recommended for CBD but, does indicate a  large therapeutic treatment window for cannabis. The average dose of CBD  that demonstrates perceivable changes in symptoms ranges between 2.5  and 20mg.\n\nMore recent studies (past 6 years) show varying  responses to treatment with THC and or CBD, but when surveyed,  Parkinsons' patients consistently report improvement in subjective  symptoms with cannabis use. Regular use at lower doses seems to be  needed to sustain benefits.\n\n\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\n(continued)\nWhile Parkinson's and Essential Tremor are considered separate  diagnoses, the movement origins  for these diseases have some common  biological pathways.\n\nThe International Essential Tremor Foundation addresses this issue in more detail and the article is worth a review:\n\nhttp://www.essentialtremor.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/TremorTalkApril2014FINAL.pdf\n\nMore  study is still needed, but I recommend a trial of CBD concentrated  products to determine personal benefit. Keep notes to determine response  to treatment and better titrate your dosing. You can find concentrated  CBD elixirs or tinctures at many dispensaries. Consider starting with a  2:1 or 4:1 ratio of CBD to THC or higher if you feel sensitive to the  THC effects.\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11841-markdown","title":"Looking at getting  a license  for  medical marijuana in  Oklahoma ","slug":"looking-at-getting-a-license-for-medical-marijuana-in-oklahoma","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11840-markdown","title":"can i get a medical card for CA through your site?","slug":"can-i-get-a-medical-card-for-ca-through-your-site","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11811-markdown","title":"Can I get medical recommendations in the store same day?","slug":"can-i-get-medical-recommendations-in-the-store-same-day","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11808-markdown","title":"How can i get a medical card for lupus?","slug":"how-can-i-get-a-medical-card-for-lupus","content":"\n_____________________\nHello,\nAs an anti-inflammatory, immunomodulator and analgesic, cannabis should help alleviate the pain of SLE.
