","slug":"is-it-safe-for-children-to-use-cbd-oil-to-treat-autism-and-adhd","content":"\"My 13 year old son has high functioning autism and moderate ADHD.  Which CBD Oil will work best for him?\"\n_____________________\nCBD oil (derived from hemp) is a type of cannabis oil that contains a significant amount of cannabidiol (CBD) and less than 0.3% of THC. In other words, the CBD oil that is made from hemp doesn’t actually get you high. It is one of the most important naturally-occurring cannabinoids found in in the cannabis plant. There have been studies done to test the effects of CBD oil on ADHD and autism. Results of these studies deemed CBD oil a potential therapeutic target for the pharmacological management of the autism and ADHD.\nMaking recommendations for use of any product or drug, medical providers always make sure that carefully conducted studies have answered two critical questions. First, does the treatment actually work? And second, is it harmful? In essence, we need to be sure that the benefits outweigh the risks. There have not been any studies done a grand scale for me to confidently tell you that for sure it will treat autism and/or ADHD or that it has no long term effects of chronic use. But overall, CBD oil is a safe, legal, and easily-obtainable product that just about everyone in the U.S. has access to recommend discussing this with your child's pediatrician as well. I hope I helped answer your question. Good luck.\n\nnptherasse","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8404-markdown","title":"Can you recommend a Dr in NYC or the Bronx that does both cannabis and the  oils ","slug":"can-you-recommend-a-dr-in-nyc-or-the-bronx-that-does-both-cannabis-and-the-oils","content":"\n_____________________\n\n Hello!

Since the essential fatty acids in the coconut oil are easily processed by the liver, and THC is also processed by the liver when eaten, the infused oil gives the cannabinoids a great entry into the liver where it can be processed into the metabolite called 11-hydroxy-THC. \n\nOnce the cannabinoids are infused into the coconut oil, you will be able to gain the benefits of both the medical marijuana strain you have chosen to use, as well as the natural health and immune benefits of the coconut oil itself.\n\nCBD has also proven effective at protecting the liver from steatosis caused by alcohol drinking by preventing an increase in oxidative stress and the autophagy induced by alcohol, thus protecting the liver from progressive damage. \n\nI suggest that you discuss the use of cannabis with with your primary care provider since he/she is aware of your medical history and overall health.\n\nnptherasse","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8397-markdown","title":"What exactly is THC-A? Is it an oil?","slug":"what-exactly-is-thc-a-is-it-an-oil","content":"\n_____________________\nTHCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid is the biosynthetic precursor of THC but has radically different properties – THCA won’t induce any psychoactive effects, in contrast to THC, but surprisingly plays a major role in the process of lab-testing cannabis strains for potency. So the cannabis plant in its natural state is THCA. The plant is first dried, cured, and then, combusted, resulting in it transforming into THC to cause a more psychoactive effect. THCA is THC in its acidic and non-psychoactive form. Many tinctures (oil/spray) do not decarboxylate the plant, so most tinctures contain high levels of THCA. Some people looking for the therapeutic effects of THCA without the psychoactivity of THC will juice the raw cannabis plant. \n\nResearch in the field of THCA is continuously progressing, but it is still too early to make definite statements about the therapeutic effects of this compound - which certainly does not mean there aren’t any. Preliminary studies point out potential medicinal benefits including:\n\n• The reduction of nausea induced vomiting and appetite loss (anti-emetic)\n\n• Protective capacities for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. Parkinson)\n\n• Anti-inflammatory effects beneficial for treating a wide range of diseases (e.g. Arthritis)\n\n• Inhibition of prostate cancer growth (anti-proliferative)\n\nnptherasse","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8396-markdown","title":"Is it legal for me to carry CBD oil on an international flight?","slug":"is-it-legal-for-me-to-carry-cbd-oil-on-an-international-flight","content":"\n_____________________\nSince the airlines are federal space, you may not carry your CBD oil with you because it is an illegal substance according to the Feds.

It is considered non-toxic and is legal to use. CBD doses of up to 300 mg daily have been used safely for up to 6 months. Higher doses of 1200-1500 mg daily have been used safely for up to 4 weeks. Cannabidiol sprays used under the tongue have been used in doses of 2.5 mg for up to 2 weeks. \n\nSome reported side effects of cannabidiol include dry mouth, low blood pressure, light headedness, and drowsiness.

Will the THC still get to my brain?","slug":"cannabis-oil-suppositories-for-brain-cancer-will-the-thc-still-get-to-my-brain","content":"\"Hello \nI hope you're well. I hope you don't mind, I just wanted to ask you a question to see if you may know. I have been researching the internet but i can't really find anything specific to my question.\n\nI have been taking cannabis oil for a couple of years now to cure my brain cancer. I have had my ups & downs - my cancer did disappear for about a year but unfortunately came back in April of this year & I am back on high dosages of the oil ever since.\n\nI am suffering from extreme anxiety, depression & paranoia which I never used to have. I have been looking online and came across that taking oil through suppositories mean you have a zero head high. This is music to my ears.\n\nI understand through researching the internet it doesn't give you a head high because it does not reach the liver. It is simply absorbed into the bloodstream.\n\nSo I am wondering if you don't get a head high, does this mean I have less THC going into my brain? I have brain cancer therefore I want the THC to be going into my brain.\n\nI am reading online that suppository method is the superior method because of the absorption rate. I have read that you get 50% less absorption rate by Oral intake because it goes through the digestive system and then into the bloodstream.\n\nAny knowledge on this would be greatly appreciated regarding Brain cancer.\n\nIdeally it would be great news if I could continue to take the oil without getting the high but I want to be certain this way works for brain cancer. I have read Rick Simpson page cureyourowncancer.org & they don't specifically mention brain cancer.\n\nKind regards\n\nRobert Montgomery\"\n_____________________\nHi Robert,\nFrom what i have read, THC can get through the blood brain barrier, so even taken rectally, it will get there. Here is a link to an article that might be helpful\nhttps://merryjane.com/culture/what-you-need-to-know-about-using-cannabis-suppositories\nFrom my experience with people with cancer, those that are consistent with taking the oil everyday have had the best results. Even if they are doing well, they are taking a maintenance dose of the oil.\n\nPiantaTinta","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8362-markdown","title":"Is it better to smoke flower or cannabis oils?","slug":"is-it-better-to-smoke-flower-or-cannabis-oils","content":"\n_____________________\nCannabis contains many cannabinoid compounds like THC and CBD, but is also rich in essential oils, the fragrance carrying molecules called terpenes.  These are often not present in the oil cartridges for vape pens, sometimes added back in by the manufacturer. Terpenes seem important in the full range of cannabis effects.   It is likely that using cannabis flowers rather than extracted oils will allow the full 'entourage effect' of all the constituents working together.  If the question is regarding smoking vs vaping, remember that cannabis flower can also be inhaled by vaporizing using several devices now available.\n\ndrelkind","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":120,"numPages":38,"currentPage":11,"id":5583,"name":"Oil","slug":"oil","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
