CBD or Cannabidiol is not psychoactive but does stop pain, muscle spasm and the inflammation of herniated discs and arthritis so I do think you  would be happy with CBDs. The next issue is how to administer the medication so this will take some experimenting and a bit more education. We have a great video on line about vaporizing your medication. Vaporizing is more like using an asthmatic inhaler rather than smoking since vaporizing only administers the medication but no harmful particulate matter and the medication is in your blood in 1-2 minutes and in effect typically within 10 minutes for quick relief. \r\nI also recommend a topical 2:1, CBD: THC salve used frequently along the spine to stop the pain and inflammation. The more frequent you use the salve the longer the pain relief lasts. \r\nI also suspect both mom and dad are vitamin D deficient, so please be certain to have their vitamin D blood level checked and start supplementation with vitamin D3 iIn order to maintain a blood level between 55 ng/ML-95 ng/ML for optimal pain relief.\r\nSince many adults are put on the pharmaceutical drugs for symptoms you want to be sure to check a drug to drug interaction screen through drugs.com. If they take CBD and vitamin D their health will likely improve significantly and their medications may need to be adjusted down so please be certain to follow through with a primary care physician.\r\nEven though we get old we can be healthy! The body knows how to heal itself when it is given the right substances.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10195-markdown","title":"Does chronic pain qualify me for medical cannabis in New York?","slug":"does-chronic-pain-qualify-me-for-medical-cannabis-in-new-york","content":"\n_____________________\nYes.

If you are looking at hemp oil the most important piece of information is to look for CBD content (if any).  For instance, hemp oil without cannabinoids might be used as a dietary supplement, but hemp oil made from CBD-producing plants can be used for medicinal purposes.  Cannabis oil generally refers to oil extracted from cannabis flower, and will contain various amounts and ratios of cannabinoids like THC and CBD.  That oil can then be put into various types of medical marijuana products like vaporization oil, topical creams, edibles, etc.  For ulcerative colitis, most people find that using a combination of THC and CBD helps relieve symptoms of pain and inflammation.\n\ndrbultman","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10061-markdown","title":"I am trying to learn about high CBD low THC strains to help my wife with lower abdominal digestive tract pain.","slug":"i-am-trying-to-learn-about-high-cbd-low-thc-strains-to-help-my-wife-with-lower-abdominal-digestive-tract-pain","content":"\"We have tried AC/DC but I am thinking that has too little thc I have heard about a strain called the Medic which my be what I am looking for but I can't find much info about it.

Which specific Rx pain medications are you taking and for what condition?  Which Moxie products and how often do you plan to take them?  In general, regardless of the make of med cann products, I give the same warning to patients:  co-administration of any med cann products (even topical med cann products) with opiates, benzodiazepines (like Xanax etc. ) ,  neuroleptics (like gabapentin, Lyrica etc), and sleep aids (like trazodone, Ambien, etc) should be done carefully because of increased risk of fall/ accident.  If possible, I tell pt's to wait a couple of hours or to take either cannabis products or the aforementioned Rx meds or to consider staggering their use on different days.  You should be okay so long as you remain cognizant of this possibility.

Find a registered practitioner. In New York, only doctors and licensed nurse practitioners that are registered with the state's medical marijuana program can issue cannabis certifications.\n\n2. Have a qualifying condition. Only patients with one of these serious, debilitating, or life-threatening conditions may qualify for medical marijuana: cancer, HIV-positive or AIDS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), damage to the nervous tissue of the spinal cord with objective neurological indication of intractable spasticity, epilepsy, inflammatory bowel disease (IBS), neuropathy, chronic pain as defined by 10 NYCRR ss 1004.2(a)(i)(xi), or Huntington's disease. Patients must also have one of the following associated or complicating conditions: cachexia (wasting syndrome), severe or chronic pain, severe nausea, seizures, or severe or persistent muscle spasms.\n\n3. Register. Once certified by a registered practitioner that you qualify for a medical marijuana certification, you need to register on the New York State Medical Marijuana Program's website. You'll need to provide proof your identity and residency. Once your registration is processed, you will be mailed a registry identification card. \n\nOnce you have completed these steps, you will be able to visit a registered marijuana dispensing facility to purchase medical marijuana products. \n\nIt's important to note that New York does not accept medical marijuana certifications or recommendations from other states.\n\nashleigh\n_____________________\nIn NYS, you must have one of the 11 qualifying conditions to be approved for a medical marijuana recommendation.  You must then be certified by a registered medical marijuana practitioner. Upon certification, you must login to https://my.ny.gov/ and click on the \"Health Applications\" icon and then click on the \"Medical Marijuana Data Management System\" link to register. Patients who do not have a ny.gov account will need to click the \"Don't Have An Account\" button to create a personal ny.gov ID before proceeding. Patients will be required to provide proof of their identity and residency during the application process. Required documents can be found on the NYDOH website.\n\nwendynp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10001-markdown","title":"Should I stop using cannabis oil if it's making my pain worse?","slug":"should-i-stop-using-cannabis-oil-if-its-making-my-pain-worse","content":"\"I have breast cancer and have pain in my leg as a result. Whenever I use cannabis oil, my leg seems to hurt more.

Many people find that a balanced mix of THC:CBD is helpful for pain control, so you could talk over some options with your dispensary regarding what ratio of THC:CBD might work best for you.  You could also consider trying a topical cannabis product on your leg to see if it helps.\n\ndrbultman","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":276,"numPages":54,"currentPage":24,"id":5599,"name":"Pain","slug":"pain","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
