Is it psychoactive  thanks  Larry\"\n_____________________\nHi Larry, I am not a doctor and this answer represents my opinion and research only. I believe you are talking about this article written by Jaene, a cannabis consultant at Harborside. Harborside is one of the largest and most reputable dispensaries in the country.\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-advice-for-the-novice-consumer\n\nMy guess is that you could call them and find out about FECO. The answer to your question is yes, in the case Jaene was describing it is psychoactive.\n\nI hope this helps!\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11505-markdown","title":"I am diagnosed with Adhesive Arrachnoiditis.","slug":"i-am-diagnosed-with-adhesive-arrachnoiditis","content":"\"From some research I found out that Epidural injections are the cause. I had an Epidural injection in 2008 and 2010. When I complained about the pain in my feet and legs it was always diagnosed as Neuropathy. Recently a spine surgeon gave the correct diagnosis. Adhesive Arrachnoiditis. Is there anyone who has the same condition and how do they cope with it? I am on Morphine and Norco. I like to wean myself off the medicine with the aid of marijuana. I bought some 25:1 CBD/THC drops. I like some suggestions on how to use them. Daily doses and frequency. Is there a more potent mixture available? Thank you.\"\n_____________________\nI have a member of our collective that has Arrachnoiditis and from her feedback, the ONLY thing that has helped with her pain has been a Concentrated THC oil or RSO. 65-75% THC. She has not tried the Cannabidiol as she went directly to the RSO oil. A little goes a long way with that oil!! Maybe one of the doctors here at HelloMD can answer also....\n\nPiantaTinta","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11503-markdown","title":"I have significant lumbar pain that radiates down both legs front & back, is there a strain of med marijuana that will give me relief?","slug":"i-have-significant-lumbar-pain-that-radiates-down-both-legs-front-back-is-there-a-strain-of-med-marijuana-that-will-give-me-relief","content":"\n_____________________\nAs you think about which strain, you should first consider your tolerance / propensity for psychoactivity. Both THC, and CBD can be helpful for pain, and you can experiment with different combinations to find the best effect for your purpose.\n\nIf you have never used cannabis before, I would suggest that you start with a high CBD strain, or a tincture formulated for high CBD (which is generally non-psychoactive) and increase with moderate amounts of THC compounds gradually. You may find that the CBD heavy formulations remove your pain without the need for THC, or you may find that adding THC adds to the effect. However this will also affect your ability to work, or drive for example, so its also depends on what else is going on in your life at that moment. \n\nThere are a lot of options, and each person often reacts slightly differently. \n\nHere are some choices for CBD products you might want to investigate:\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/search/cbd/products\n\nmark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11498-markdown","title":"I would like to get some help with the pain in my right foot and left leg (knee)","slug":"i-would-like-to-get-some-help-with-the-pain-in-my-right-foot-and-left-leg-knee","content":"\n_____________________\nFor nighttime pain and sleep I would recommend a CBD:THC ratio of 1:1 that you can find in tincture, vape, and spray forms.  In addition there are also high CBD creams that you can apply to the area that will work for around 6 hours.  Another option for chronic inflammation or arthritis pain is a tincture with a CBD:THC ratio of >20:1.  Used daily it will decrease inflammation over the long term and the best news is that the ratio is over 10:1 so you will not get that \"high\" sensation while using it during the day.\n\ndrb","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11490-markdown","title":"Should Treat well 20:1 make me sleepy?

It is really up to you and your tolerance as to how active you can remain while taking medical cannabis. I do not like to get high and I use CBD/THC everyday for pain and inflammation. I would recommend if you are sensitive to THC and do not want to get high that you try a high CBD product with moderate levels of THC and also use a topical cream. \n\nYou will need to experiment to see what works. My guess is is you have no knee cartilage that maybe swimming might be better though! ;-)\n\nI just wrote a new post on how to use cannabis without getting high:\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/leaving-your-lover-not-getting-high\n\nHope this helps!\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11451-markdown","title":"What would you recommend for lower back pain associated with menstruation?","slug":"what-would-you-recommend-for-lower-back-pain-associated-with-menstruation","content":"\"Would need to be something I could use during the day while at work. \"\n_____________________\nCannabis suppositories work well! You can use them for back pain AND menstrual cramps. Just be sure to wear a panty liner that day!:)\n\nthehighnote\n_____________________\nThe main three things I recommend for menstrual cramps are tinctures, suppositories, and topicals. All can be used discretely if you choose the right product. \r\n\r\nMoxie Meds has a 4:1 CBD:THC tincture that has a very mild scent and is potent, so you don't need to consume a lot. It can be dropped in your mouth or added to a beverage. The high CBD ratio means you can experience pain relief while keeping psychoactive effects to a minimum. I use 2-4 drops under my tongue for cramps. \r\n\r\nForia offers suppositories for menstrual pain. These would be undetectable and provide relief from cramps and associated pain. \r\n\r\nTopicals are fantastic for lower back pain. Sweet Releaf offers a topical that has a very mild odor, it smells more like a moisturizing balm. At home after work I suggest Om Edibles topical oil paired with a hot water bottle or heating pad. The scent is slightly stronger with that oil, but it is very effective. This is the most effective treatment for lower back pain from cramps.\n\nandrea13","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11449-markdown","title":"What are some THC and CBD guidelines for relief from TMJ pain and soreness?","slug":"what-are-some-thc-and-cbd-guidelines-for-relief-from-tmj-pain-and-soreness","content":"\"I've suffered from TMJ for 15 years and aside from protecting my teeth from continued damage, my doctors and dentists haven't been able to to anything for me (unless you count prescribing muscle relaxants and pain killers, which are bandaids with baggage). I've noticed that some strains of THC actually increase my clenching and pain but others seem to help. I'll obviously keep experimenting to find what might work for me, but where does the science suggest I should start to look for TMJ relief? Which strains have muscle-relaxing qualities? Anxiety-reducing qualities? ..etc\"\n_____________________\nits sativa that makes tmj/anxiety worse. cant even play with hybrids, got to get STRONG INDICA's ONLY!  been doin this for 30 yrs now, I know!  kief, wax, shatter are best/strongest forms.  strains can vary. smoking in a EASY/CLEAR hitting 1 inch round bong seems to be best.  bowls/joints strain tmj muscles with lips in kissing motion.\n\nclintk9\n_____________________\nAs a patient with TMJ, I highly recommend considering fast-acting CBD-rich medications to mitigate your pain and decrease clenching. Generally speaking, an even balance of CBD to THC provides the strongest analgesic effects but the \"side effects\" of psychoactivity are not acceptable for all patients so it depends on your individual needs. As well as being an analgesic and an inflammation fighter, CBD is also an anti-anxiety agent and an anti-spasmodic. The tightness, clenching, and pain should be relieved by all of these properties - to some extent at least. Ingesting liquid tincture medications directly under the tongue (a sublingual dose) will provide the fastest therapeutic effects and is also discreet.\n\njessicapeters\n_____________________\nI have found that a combination of meds is effective for my TMJ. Inhaling 1:1 CBD:THC strains has helped tremendously, but the most annoying thing about TMJ is the acute pain that will not leave your jaw at those moments where you can't sleep, are at work, etc. I have found that topicals are very effective and defeating the pain in my jaw, while the 1:1 strains really help the muscles relax on the whole.\n\nryan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11431-markdown","title":"Topical balm for joint pain resulted in headache","slug":"topical-balm-for-joint-pain-resulted-in-headache","content":"\"Is this common?\"\n_____________________\nI am not a doctor but I use topicals frequently, interact with a lot of manufacturers and know a lot of other people who use them.\n\nI have never heard of this but anything is possible. I wonder what is on the ingredient list and where you used the topical. Topicals when applied are meant for localized pain and do not enter the bloodstream so in theory they should not effect the body system as a whole. The topical penetrates or is absorbed into the skin barrier and interacts with CB1 receptors to help alleviate pain.\n\nIt could be you are sensitive to an ingredient within the topical. I too am suspicious when I try something new and end up with a headache. In the case of cannabis, I always make sure I buy brands that are lab tested and pesticide free.\n\nThis represents my opinion only.
