There are all sorts of lotions, oils, and balms that you can apply to the affected areas to reduce your pain and inflammation. Om Edibles makes a balm in a stick form (sort of like deodorant) that is super convenient. I always keep one around in case my back flairs up. \n\nI would also highly recommend Sweet Releaf. They are are a fantastic brand that you will not be disappointed in. Om edibles is convenient, but I think Sweet Releaf fight the pain more effectively.\n\nryan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7095-markdown","title":"What kind of cannabis oil do you suggest for severe back pain? ","slug":"what-kind-of-cannabis-oil-do-you-suggest-for-severe-back-pain","content":"\"I have never smoked before. I was thinking of vaping. What type of oil do you suggest and where do I buy it?\"\n_____________________\nI'm sorry to hear about your pain. I would highly recommend our True OG or Grand Daddy Purple oil, available in cartridge or in All-in-One, to alleviate your pain, reduce inflammation and help you get a restful sleep, which we all know is one of the best medicines of all! Each of these strains is an Indica, and each has a cannabinoid and terpene profile that should provide relief for your condition.\n\nkenwvapes\n_____________________\nSince you've never smoked before vaping is a good solution. For your back pain, you'll want a high-THC strain: I might try Girl Scout Cookies from Kurvana. When you vape, try a 5-second pull on your pen, then give it 20 mins to gauge the effect.\r\n\r\nYou can also try capsules (or certain brands of edibles) in order to manage your dosing.  If you are going to try an edible or capsule, start with 5mg and wait 45 mins to an hour to feel the effect. \r\n\r\nBe Well!\n\nNick DeJesus\n_____________________\nI would definitely recommend vaping! Kurvana is my favorite brand and I second Niko there. G.S. Cookies is a hybrid and a good daytime/afternoon option for back pain. You may find more success with Kurvana's Banana Smoothie vaporizer, which is a 2:1 THC:CBD oil blend. I found the high very pleasant and the THC in combination with the CBD gave me more relief than just the THC alone.\r\n\r\nAlso, never discount topicals! They work wonders for my back pain! I think the direct application of cannabinoids to the muscles works much better than inhaling them. Combining both methods seems to be the most effective.\n\nryan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7087-markdown","title":"I am interested in getting a topical oil that I can apply directly to my leg and hip to alieviate ","slug":"i-am-interested-in-getting-a-topical-oil-that-i-can-apply-directly-to-my-leg-and-hip-to-alieviate","content":"\"the pain that I cannot control?\"\n_____________________\nSorry to hear about your pain! Sweet Releaf (https://www.getsweetreleaf.com) makes a fantastic topical that can be applied to your leg and hip area.

I do not want psychoactive issues.\"\n_____________________\nThen u want cbd's. U can get them in capsules, creams, edibles, to name a few. I use different ones for different purposes. During the day i use capsules. \nFor immediate relief i use my pen. My fav is \"always organic\" with that i only need a few puffs and u feel the pain going away while u puff. Some brands may take more puffs. The creams u rub where it hurts. Helps some better than others. Edibles, u can get some that r pure cbd. Mostly i get 1:1 thc:cbd. I never smoked it b4 so it only takes me 5-10 grams to feel high, i close my eyes and go to sleep. I sleep much better now. I have less pain if i remember to take my capsules b4 i start to hurt. Start small and work ur way up to see how much it takes to help u feel ur best\n\nsraelane\n_____________________\nOur topical does not enter the blood stream, thus there are no psychoactive effects. That is the beauty of it. You offer your body pain relief by feeding the CB receptors in your skin with cannabinoids.\n\n\nella","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7077-markdown","title":"Is the THC-A in the trichomes decarboxylated to THC? If not, how does it work to reduce pain/inflammation?","slug":"is-the-thc-a-in-the-trichomes-decarboxylated-to-thc-if-not-how-does-it-work-to-reduce-pain-inflammation","content":"\n_____________________\nResearch suggests THCA has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects but does not produce the psychoactive effect that make you feel “high”. This “high” is from the cannabinoid THC, of which little if any is found when cannabis is growing or recently harvested.\n\nDecarboxylation is a chemical reaction that releases carbon dioxide (CO2). This means a chemical reaction takes place in which carboxylic acids loose a carbon atom from a carbon chain. This process converts THCA to THC, the much loved compound with many medicinal and psychoactive effects. When the cannabis drys, it very very slowly begins to decarboxylate and converts THCA to THC.\n\ntheslumpyman\n_____________________\nVery good question! We do decarboxylate some THC-A into THC for the strong analgesic/pain management effects. However, we also add a portion of THC-A for its anti-inflammatory effects, amongst many others. Our proprietary ratio of the two cannabinoids helps make Sweet ReLeaf so effective.\n\nella","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7076-markdown","title":"what cannabis products to use for nerve pain","slug":"what-cannabis-products-to-use-for-nerve-pain","content":"\n_____________________\nYou're in luck!

First, a couple of questions. By nerve pain, do you mean neuropathic pain (i.e. numbness, tingling, burning, etc?) . Is this occurring in your fingertips?  If this is worsening,  I might recc. that you go back to neurosurgeon/ back doctor who performed your surgery. From the way things are phrased, I take it that your insomnia is related to this pain?  In my humble practice experience, med cann products can be helpful for both the nerve pain and the insomnia but this is best done in the context of what we call a multi-modal/ multi-system approach.  This means that physical therapy should be involved and other modalities for pain control/ analgesia (i.e.l myofascial release,  heat/ cold application, topical medications both cann and prescription based, poss. TENS unit use, etc) should be used with med cann products.  Feel free to come ask questions from our various MD's who are well versed in this area.  I hope this helps!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7069-markdown","title":"I go to a pain clinic who does NOT prescribe medical marjiuana but here's the problem","slug":"i-go-to-a-pain-clinic-who-does-not-prescribe-medical-marjiuana-but-heres-the-problem","content":"\"3 of my other doctors mentioned great results with cannibis cream.

You are not the first to ask about an unscented extra strength, so we are making note of the interest and will very likely create an unscented extra strength by the first of the New Year.
