The best product for your pain, anxiety, and insomnia may or may not be a CBD Tincture. The question would be, what is causing your pain, anxiety, and insomnia? They go hand-in-hand, as lack of sleep will cause more anxiety, and more anxiety will cause increased pain. \n\nI would suggest addressing the anxiety first with some herbs and whole plant raw cannabis. A great product to check out would be \"Better Mood\" that features Lemon Balm, Valerian Root, and Raw (non-psychoactive) Cannabis Powder. You may be suffering from endocannabinoid deficiency, which can occur in times of excessive stress. The whole plant cannabis will restore your sense of well-being. The Valerian root will increase your serotonin receptors, and the lemon balm has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to treat depression and anxiety. If you're in California, you can get it shipped direct from Eva. https://evaonline.org\n\nnixie","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8136-markdown","title":"Scoliosis pain","slug":"scoliosis-pain","content":"\n_____________________\nChronic pain may improve with Cannabis. It is important to see your physician first and get a workup to exclude any concerning causes for your back pain.

All of the cannabinoids work together to promote healing. Look for full spectrum, whole plant extract.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8097-markdown","title":"What is the maximum dose of CBD than can be used for pain and leg spasms?","slug":"what-is-the-maximum-dose-of-cbd-than-can-be-used-for-pain-and-leg-spasms","content":"\"I have severe RLS and want to figure out a mixture of CBD and Indica as opposed to having to start on Opiods. What is the maximum CBD that can be used for pain and leg spasms.\r\n\"\n_____________________\nThis all depends on your previous exposure to cannabinoids (if any) and various products you've tried in the past.  For example, a topical may contain 300-400mg of cannabinoid a jar; if one application is used every day for a month, this is @30-40mg of cannabinoid that is being administered (but not necessarily absorbed).   Oil cartridges are sold in  1/2 gram and 1 gram measures and can contain from 20-60% cannabinoid by weight.  If this is used every day for a month that's 200-600mg divided by 30--> @7mg to 10mg of cannabinoid per usage.    I advise patients to search for the \"minimum effective concentration\" that is the lowest @ dosage of cannabinoid that works for symptom relief.  Given that you have RLS, I would also venture that sleep is an issue as well?  In this case, you might want to give edibles a chance.  Various products range from 10- 250mg per product, so I would urge to start low w/ a test dose on a Friday/ weekend and only starting off at 1/2 or less of what the recommended adult dose that is listed on the package.  \"low and slow\" dosing of vape-pens and topicals should also work.  Also; it's been my observation and some other MD's here that CBD in too high a dose for some people may make it harder for you to sleep (if this is a goal of yours).  More of the indica (w/ cBN and THC) as you mentioned before should help out.  Don't forget to get your potassium level checked; there is also evidence that mild stretching nightly will also be helpful.  I hope this helps!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8068-markdown","title":"What is the best way to wean off post-surgical medications using cannabis?","slug":"what-is-the-best-way-to-wean-off-post-surgical-medications-using-cannabis","content":"\"I had surgery last Tuesday to remove hardware from my spinal fusion (L1-L2) and am starting to wean off pain meds (Norco 10, Tramadol and Robaxin) and would like to start replacing them with just extra strength tylenol and CBD or 1/1 CBD/THC medicine that I normally use.

Not only is it illegal to ship cannabis products of any kind outside of the U.S., it is also a federal crime to mail them across state lines.\n\nIn 2006, the UK legalized one medical marijuana product, Sativex, which treats the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis. Outside of that, the country has no medical marijuana program. That may soon change, however, as the MHRA, which regulates medicines, has already approved products containing cannabidiol (CBD) for prescription use.\n\nrebeccaspence","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7985-markdown","title":"Any recommendations for a reputable company that sells CBD oil?","slug":"any-recommendations-for-a-reputable-company-that-sells-cbd-oil","content":"\n_____________________\nOver the last three years in recommending CBD for clients I found that the Elixinol product line has been consistently high quality with very consistently positive results.

A 1:1 ratio of CBD/THC is very good, but in higher doses can have a mild psychoactive effect.
