The harder you have to suck on the device to achieve vapor, the more pressure you will build in your head.\n\nA device like the Grasshopper Vaporizer, sold by Hopper Labs is a great option that offers both pure convection and low draw resistance. It is also an incredibly low maintenance device.

CBD strain have been lauded for their potent nerve pain properties, however they can also help to mitigate the pain that results from migraines. I would recommend vaporizing Cannatonic with a high quality herbal vaporizer. Better yet, make it into your own tincture so that you can discreetly medicate on your own schedule and with no suspicious odors. \n\nHere is an article on how to make your own tinctures: https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/57719580abb48f00070001be/diy-recipe-high-cbd-cannabis-tincture\n\nryan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7317-markdown","title":"What is the best protocol for migraines?","slug":"what-is-the-best-protocol-for-migraines","content":"\n_____________________\nMigraines are highly individual and not everyone is the same.

In the meantime, reduce your triptan use to a few times a month as daily and weekly use can lead to an even worse intractable cycle.  Aleve and Benadryl can be used to help with abortive withdrawal.\n\ncannontekstar\n_____________________\nWe started HelloMD because I was a chronic migraine sufferer and cannabis stopped my migraines. Not everyone may receive benefit from cannabis as there are many different kinds of migraines. That said, it is worth a try. \n\nI was able to control my migraines through a change in diet, exercise, vitamin supplements and a daily regime of CBD, which I take every single day without fail.\n\nI wrote this article many months ago and it has been one of our most popular posts. I hope this helps.

Even the hemp oils do tend to have a small dose of THC in them. Be sure you're well hydrated and you can try the cannabis Salve on your neck coming that will often break my Migraine if I use it quickly enough. Also be sure to eliminate all the foods that you might be allergic to, such as all aged cheese, even Parmesan on the pizza may precipitate a migraine.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nYes CBD can definitely help your migraines. You may want to look into a tincture that is high in CBD with just a tiny bit of THC. The tiny bit of THC can help with amplifying the effects of the CBD. An extremely low amount of THC will not result in any psychoactivity, so you'll be safe in that respect. \n\ngreendoorwest","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7149-markdown","title":"Where do you apply the cream for migraines?","slug":"where-do-you-apply-the-cream-for-migraines","content":"\n_____________________\nI have migraines and have written extensively about using cannabis to combat migraines. In my experience, topicals can help a little bit but the real win is using cannabis as a preventative to stop them before they come.\n\nTo answer your question though, topicals should be applied to the temples and around the base of the cranium and around the neck and shoulders. It will provide localized relief and decrease tension, if you are lucky.\n\nin my experience, a regime of CBD on a daily basis has stopped my migraines in addition to dietary changes and taking vitamin B and Magnesium every day. I will post a link below on my experience.\n\nWhen I experience a migraine I take a high CBD vape pen, my favorite is Electra Tsu by Bloom Farms and vape that until the scute pain is gone.\n\nI am not a doctor and this represents my experience and opinion only.

","slug":"can-anyone-tell-me-what-success-you-are-having-with-migraine","content":"\"need to know what product and how used.  thanks. \"\n_____________________\nThe success I have is with using high quality/potency Indica flowers. For quick relief when your Migraine has already started it may be necessary to use over the counter painkillers such as ibuprofen, but if you make Cannabis part of your wellness regime it can decrease the frequency of your Migraines. Everybody is different so Migraines can occur for different reasons. Personally, I am sensitive to light and sound so I feel like Indica flowers \"dim\" the lights a little bit. Also, strains that are high in CBD can relieve the pressure some people experience with migraines (such as the eyes). A doctor of mine once told me that Cannabis can be used as a preemptive measure, and that regularly smoking cannabis can prevent Migraines from reoccuring as frequently.\n\nBartSmart","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7101-markdown","title":"Headache after consuming?","slug":"headache-after-consuming","content":"\"I found that I suffered from headaches a few days after consuming cannabis recently.

I personally use cannabis to help with migraines and I have found that Sativa strains occasionally trigger headaches and more so when I mix different Sativa flowers together to be smoked. Knowing this I have started to exclusively smoke Indica or Hybrids that are Indica dominate.  Strains with traces of CBD also relax the body and can help relieve headaches. It is also important to remember that topicals can be applied to the temples for some relief from headaches.\n\nBartSmart","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6993-markdown","title":"What product is best for severe migraine headache?","slug":"what-product-is-best-for-severe-migraine-headache","content":"\n_____________________\nAccording to research, inhalation methods of cannabis are the fastest and most effective treatment for migraine headaches. Edibles, however, not only take a longer time for relief to set in, but also, were more likely to have negative side effects (drowsiness and euphoria, which does not aid the migraine headaches).

I don’t know if they work better as a preventative, but if I use Harlequin regularly, my migraines are less frequent and less severe when they do happen.
