The fact that your friend reacts to smells and odors makes me wonder if your friend has a predisposition to migraines which will make your friend chemically sensitive and the odors can cause depression. \nAutoimmune disease will also manifest if the person is vitamin D deficient (vitamin D is a hormone, not a vitamin) if the vitamin D deficiency has not been recognized and treated appropriately.\nIt certainly seems worth a try to utilize high CBD/ low THC and correct vitamin D deficiency and your friend maybe well again especially if you also eliminate toxic exposures.\nGood luck, this is a quest worth doing.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10782-markdown","title":"I've read that you can use a marijuana oil for women's sexual pleasure.

There is no guarantee that you wont get arrested, and or your products confiscated. \n\nIt really depends on: \n1) If you get caught\n2) The agent that catches you.\n\nMy understanding (but this is anecdotal) is that some agents in CA are understanding, if you have things properly labelled, and you have your doctors recommendation with you. I have also heard that the airports are controlled by the FAA, and are therefore federal property and under the control of federal employees, and therefore have no obligation to follow CA law. With regards to France - you have a whole other issue to deal with at that end. So the short answer is that its a bad idea, and you could get arrested.\n\nThat said, if you throw a small quantity of unlabelled tinctures into your cosmetics bag along with everything else, the chances of getting caught and then having these substances analyzed would seem to be exceedingly small. You would have to make your own assessment as to if you want to take that risk.\n\nFinally, I would point out that airport customs agents are trained to pick up on any nervous behavior. So if you are the type of person that might look worried or guilty as you walk through customs with a small quantity of tincture, that might be enough to get you further scrutinized.\n\nFor more reading, here is an article we wrote on the subject: \nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56b29f1b0c46b4000800001b/traveling-with-medical-marijuana\n\nmark\n_____________________\nUnder Prop. 215, patients are entitled to whatever amount of marijuana is necessary for their personal medical use. However, patients can be arrested if they exceed reasonable amounts and they can be cited or fined for exceeding local laws. Under MMRSA, which took effect Jan. 1, 2016, qualified patients can cultivate up to 100 square feet for personal medical use, and primary caregivers with five or fewer patients are allowed up to 500 square feet. Exemption under this section does not prevent a local government from further restricting or banning the cultivation of medical cannabis.\n\nhttp://www.canorml.org/medical-marijuana/patients-guide-to-california-law\nhttp://www.canorml.org/news/A_SUMMARY_OF_THE_MEDICAL_MARIJUANA_REGULATION_AND_SAFETY_ACT\n\nAlthough new laws have allowed whatever is justifiable medically, traditionally the limit has been 8 ounces and we recommend that you do not exceed this without licensing with the state.\n\nryan\n_____________________\nUnfortunately, because the federal government still considers marijuana to be a schedule 1 controlled substance, it is illegal to transport marijuana across state lines, regardless of whether you are a medical marijuana patient, or not.  \n\ndredmunds\n_____________________\nIt is typically only legal to travel privately with medical marijuana, within state lines.  Because the federal government classifies marijuana as a schedule 1 drug, it is not legal to transport cannabis across state lines via national airlines, regardless of whether you are being treated under the recommendation of a doctor or not. \n\nThe exception to this rule is if you are traveling by vehicle through states where marijuana is legal or that recognize your state's medical marijuana recommendation. In states that allow medical marijuana, unless they recognize your state's recommendation, you will be required to obtain a recommendation in your destination state and obtain marijuana there. Otherwise, you could be arrested for illegal drug trafficking or illegal possession.\n\ndredmunds\n_____________________\nI thought CBD oil was legal as it has low THC? You can buy it online. Maybe not fly with it, but order it to go where you're going?\n\njanet\n_____________________\nHi there! You are correct about the CA MMJ part. However, our chews are made with hemp CBD, not cannabis CBD, so they're available for purchase nationwide.\n\njess\n_____________________\nGreat question! I am not a lawyer and this represents my opinion and research only. I always refer to the NORML site as they have great information and it is kept up to date. Here is what they say about possession:\n\nhttp://www.canorml.org/medical-marijuana/patients-guide-to-california-law\n\n\"Under Prop. 215, patients are entitled to whatever amount of marijuana is necessary for their personal medical use. However, patients can be arrested if they exceed reasonable amounts and they can be cited or fined for exceeding local laws.\"\n\nTechnically, law enforcement could say you are carrying too much and arrest you which is why it is important that you carry your medical recommendation with you.  Here is more on this:\n\n\"A landmark State Supreme Court decision, People vs. Mower, holds that patients have the same right to marijuana as to any legally prescribed drug. Under Mower, patients who have been arrested can request dismissal of charges at a pre-trial hearing. If the defendant convinces the court that the prosecution hasn’t established probable cause that it wasn’t for medical purposes, criminal charges are dismissed.\"\n\nSo, the best defense is to have a legal recommendation and to carry it with you. The reality is that law enforcement, unless given cause is unlikely to do anything for possessing a small amount of medical marijuana, unless you are driving under the influence etc. Obviously, on the state level medical marijuana is now legal and has been since 1996!\n\nTo further answer your question, it is ILLEGAL to cross state lines with your medical marijuana. I do not recommend traveling in flight with cannabis as TSA is part of federal jurisdiction, so that is a gray area. Yes, you can drive around in your car with it in your overnight bag.\n\nI hope this helps!\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nAbsolutely not! Do not risk this because it breaks so many laws you would regret the action. \nEven if Cannabis is legal in both states, it is not legal on the airline, the airline is federal space and the dogs will pick up on the bud immediately. Do you really want to be the first person that meets with Jeff Sessions about Illegally transporting Cannabis? I don't think so, even for the notoriety it would be a very high-priced visit for you. You would not only lose your cannabis you may lose your right to ever use cannabis again! Just don't risk it, please.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nYes, provided you do a staycation or vacation in your state because you should think twice before crossing a state line with cannabis and please, do not fly with cannabis. Know the laws in your state concerning cannabis and be aware of the laws regarding cannabis in any state you traverse.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nUnless it is hemp derived CBD, you can not legally travel with cannabis in any form across state lines or internationally. It is a schedule 1 drug in the US which means it is federally illegal. France has only recently passed a mandate to start a medical marijuana program but it is illegal there as well.\n\npamela","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10769-markdown","title":"Will CBD oils help with serious autoimmune disease?

Sorry, but I'm confused again, as it says 28 mg of hemp oil under the 'supplement facts' table. Before I take too much can you please tell me if this is the same as JJ after all? I'm wondering roughly how many drops this a day? \nAnd, this legal in all states to buy? I read a website that says it's not considered an illegal drug. That contradicts why everyone is angry at the govt for not letting people get this miracle med. If so, does that mean I can fly with it? \nAnd, another website also said you wont flunk a drug test with any of the CBD products. That sounds wrong to me. \nI'm sorry to keep asking Q's but don't know where else to go for answers. \nGreat news about your patients! How wonderful! \n\nFor one, I went to two dispensaries and no one seemed to know much about CBD oil. I told them I needed a super high oil 28:1 ratio and got blank stares and offered edibles instead. I was looking for a Jayden's Juice equivalent. I ended up with Charlotte's Web hemp extract in MCT 500 mg in 1 oz. dropper bottle. I was confident this was close to the JJ but now I'm not sure on the mg part. And it was only $60 which seemed low for CBD oil. Did I get the right kind? Thanks.\"\n_____________________\nYou are fine. Charlotte's Web is a high quality oil where the CBD is extracted from hemp, yielding a dosage of 16.67mg CBD per ml. Hemp is cannabis sativa with less than 0.3% THC. It has cannabinoids and terpenes and has very low amounts of THC (I am guessing probably no more than 0.6 - 0.8mg/ml). Jayden's Juice has almost twice as much CBD per ml - 28mg/ml of CBD and 1mg/ml THC. In order to dispense 28mg of CBD, you will have to take 1.68ml of Charlottes Web. I have several patients who use Charlotte's Web to treat seizures and one patient with lymphoma whose tumors are shrinking.************* I calculated the amount of CBD based on the information you provided - 500mg in 1 oz. One oz = 30 mL. 500/30 = 16.67mg/mL. The 28mg may refer to the total amount of hemp extract, which contains other things.  You may want to contact CW Botanicals to find out if the 28mg is referring to the total amount of extract or the total amount of cannabinoids.\n\ndrfrye\n_____________________\nI'm not sure about the flying with CBD products.  Doing a little digging on the web, I found a statement from the TSA concerning medical cannabis (even if someone has a valid card from the state);  there was no specific mention if CBD was exempted from the policy:\n\n\n\"Thank you for your e-mail concerning the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) policy for allowing passengers with State authorized cards to bring marijuana onboard commercial airlines.\nAlthough TSA has no regulations addressing possession and transportation of marijuana, possessing marijuana in any detectable amount is a crime under Federal law. Further, it is a crime under the laws of many States to possess or transport marijuana.\nIn the course of screening passengers and their belongings for prohibited items (weapons, explosives and other objects that may pose a risk to aviation security), Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) sometimes discover marijuana or other items that are illegal under State and Federal laws.

Law enforcement officers must be contacted even if a passenger is carrying a State-issued cannabis card or other documentation indicating that the marijuana is for medical purposes.\"\n\nThe whole thrust of the letter seems to indicate that , even w/ CBD products and even with a vaild medical recommendation, there is no protection.\n\n\nAs for the CBD in a standard urine test, I'll cut and paste the link of an excerpt between the folks at the website The Cannabist  and one director of science at Quest Diagnostics and also another noted scientist in cannabis circles,  in a nutshell, CBD isn't on most urine test (just THC & metabolites) but even minute amounts of THC found in many cannabis products might be found and there's some controversy if CBD converts to THC in any non-negligible amount:\n \nhttp://www.thecannabist.co/2017/03/10/marijuana-drug-test-cbd-cannabidiol-positive/74014/\n\nHope you like these fascinating reads!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10757-markdown","title":"Charlotte's Web Good As Jayden's Juice?","slug":"charlottes-web-good-as-jaydens-juice","content":"\"Today the Doctor recommended to me to take something like Jayden's Juice for my Anxiety/Depression/Agorphobia.

He had skin cancer and cured it with his oil. \n\njanet\n_____________________\nI agree with Dr Frye, there are no clinical trials to confirm that cannabis can be used to treat skin cancer. \nThe fact is, there are no clinical trials to prove that any natural treatments will cure any disease because pharmaceutical companies have no interest in improving any natural cure works and they get the funding for clinical trials. What we have is antidotal experiences.\nI believe we must give patients the allowance to do what they want to do with our wisdom to help guide them in their decisions.\nActinic keratosis is considered a benign skin disease that can progress to skin cancer but it can be treated with topical retinol (Vitamin A) and that will reverse the skin disease.\nI always wonder why does a person has skin disease, is it due to a nutritional deficiency, especially vitamin D or vitamin A? A blood level will quickly show if the person is deficient or in the optimum range on those nutrients.\nI have had several patients claim they cured skin cancer with cannabis but often those antidotal claims are not documented so we have to question validity.\nDo you actually have skin cancer or is this just a curious question?\nPatients are often mistaken that they can get enough vitamin D from sunshine to improve their health but I do not believe it's possible to get enough vitamin D from sunshine without increasing your risk of skin cancer significantly.\nI have an office in Hawaii and have tested patient's vitamin D level there for 12 years and I found one patient with an optimal serum level of 25-OH D, in Hawaii. He wore a speedo so he was practically naked outside all day, he did not wear sunscreen and he did not shower the oil off his skin at the end of the day so he could reabsorb the oil from his skin which of course is where the vitamin D is made. \nThis is a reminder to wear a natural sunscreen and take your vitamin D3 as a supplement because prevention is the simplest treatment.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nI would agree with both Drs. Olson and Frye. PUtting any type of product on your skin to help a lesion may or may not help. If it is a lesion that you are concerned about however, you should consult a physician and, if needed, have it biopsied and followed. By ignoring it or treating it with something that may or may not work is a good way, if it is any type of skin cancer, for it to either spread to other parts of the body or go deeper into the tissue and therefore need more surgery.\r\n\r\nAs far as@janets comment, there is a statistic phrase that applies for questions like this \"correlation does not mean causation\". By this they mean that 2 things happen at the same time does not mean that one caused the other. Rick SImpson could also have worn the same blue color shirt when his cancer \"cured\".

The Thyroid gland regulates metabolism and it's impacts are wide spread...from temperature regulation to weight gain. The symptoms of hypothyroidism can look a lot like depression and low T. A sativa dominant product that is long duration may benefit your mood and speed your metabolism but you will be treating symptoms...not the cause!\n\ndrsumchai\n_____________________\nI was also placed on thyroid medication around the age of 30 years old and have always felt it was mistake because the underlying cause was never addressed. Once you are on medication for three months it is very difficult to get off the medicine because the medication overrides your normal feedback loop and the body is resistant to going back to working properly. What helps the thyroid function? You must have adequate vitamin D and iodine for your thyroid dysfunction. \nA 24 hour urinary iodine would let you know if your iodine level is too low.\nA simple blood test for vitamin D (25-OH D) must be above 50 ng/ML for optimal health outcome but the lab values are wrong, 30 ng/ml to 50 ng/ml is the disease range.\nSynthroid is only T4 and it requires that a sick thyroid make the conversion from T4 to the biologically active free T3 molecule. T4 deteriorates the bones.\nDo you have antibodies to your thyroid? TPO or microsomal bodies?\nAre you eating too many cruciferous vegetables because that can bind up your thyroid and that also could account for the variations and the way you feel. Many times people are allergic to cow dairy and that also can present problems in the thyroid.\nCannabis should help you by decreasing inflammatory cells in the body, especially the high CBD, low THC for daytime use but at night you might enjoy a 1:1, CBD : THC tincture.\nAshwaghanda is an ayurvedic Herb that can help you in balancing your hormones.\nGood luck and come back for more help if you need help.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nUsing cannabis should not interact or interfere with your thyroid unless you took the thyroid medication at the same time as an edible because all thyroid medicine should be taken on an empty stomach with water for best absorption.

Many people suffer from Hashimoto's, an autoimmune form of hypothyroidism.  The use of CBD oil is promising for treatment of autoimmune disorders, however I would not recommend replacing your Synthyroid with CBD oil cold turkey, but having your thyroid hormones closely monitored by your primary physician. You may be able to trend some benefits over time and possibly reduce your dosing.  If you have hypothyroidism due to other causes (surgical, etc), you will likely require supplemental thyroid (i.e. Synthyroid, Armour thyroid) permanently.  If you are unsure which type of thyroid disease you have, request testing for Hashimoto's by your primary doctor, which is a laboratory test.\n\ndrlanda","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10674-markdown","title":"I have been experimenting with oils how does the potency amounts translate to inhales?","slug":"i-have-been-experimenting-with-oils-how-does-the-potency-amounts-translate-to-inhales","content":"\"I am looking for the best help for inlammatory neurogenic pain.
