If you were to try vaping concentrates, our advice would be to take it slow.

All of our products are created in strain-specific batches, with lab results printed on each box, so that you always know the exact makeup of whatever strain with which you are medicating. The full lab results for each strain/batch also are posted on our website (wvapes.com) so you can see the dominant terpenes, and a fuller array of the cannabinoids present in the extract.\n\ndrjulicrockett","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_11372-markdown","title":"Are there certified Non-GMO cannabis resources?","slug":"are-there-certified-non-gmo-cannabis-resources","content":"\"I've recently have learned that there's acknowledgements of GMO cannabis causing alarm for its potency! Those who are referring to it as weaponized cannabis! Do you have documented non-gmo resources available?\"\n_____________________\nIt is difficult to find documented non-GMO cannabis because there is essentially no GMO cannabis. Selective breeding techniques have produced enough high quality cannabis that there is little benefit for genetically modified cannabis. All of the cannabis that has come about recently is the result of the hard work of master growers all over the country and not genetic modification. Monsanto, a prominent biotech company, has made the first genetically modified cannabis plants, though they are not available for sale or consumption.\n\nryan\n_____________________\nIn the loosest terms genetically modified means any modification or change to the DNA outside of normal mutation and variation. Selective breeding which is how many food crop you know came to exist and is considered genetic modification in some circles.\n\nThe GMO is the process of splicing sections of the DNA sequence of one plant or organism of one species with a certain desirable trait, like pest resistance, into a separate plant/species through very complicated chemistry and other processes.\n\nMarijuana has NOT undergone this mutant process as of yet (although some reports claim Monsanto might already have done it) and all of our strictly organic flowers of the highest medical grade are 'certified non-GMO' by our master cultivators https://greendoorwest.com/collections/flowers Each strain has been lab-tested for potency and microbial screening. There really should not be much 'alarming' around potency, the key is dosage not strain potency. \n\npetergdw","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11173-markdown","title":"If I smoke marijuana does it matter how long I hold the inhale? Will I get more high if I hold it in longer?","slug":"if-i-smoke-marijuana-does-it-matter-how-long-i-hold-the-inhale-will-i-get-more-high-if-i-hold-it-in-longer","content":"\"I am wondering about this. For instance if I hold an inhale for 29 seconds versus 5 seconds, is that one puff much more potent? If so, I am guessing this would alter how I choose to inhale my marijuana. \"\n_____________________\nActually, it does appear that taking much smaller puffs more frequently and not holding your inhale excessively is supposed to work more effectively then taking a larger puff and holding it longer. Taking a larger puff and holding at longer may actually contribute to some of the long-term evidence of loss of recoil in lung tissue. It is best to never encourage lung disease by inhaling and holding your breath too long. Micro dosing your cannabis is supposed to be the best way to absorb and utilize the Cannabis without wasting your medicine. Maybe an experiment is in order to see how you respond.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11172-markdown","title":"I am spending so much money on high CBD low THC tinctures I now want to try to make my own.

Unfortunately, I can easily spend $200 a month on just this tincture alone and I still need other medication as well. I would like to try making my own tincture to see if it works and if I can have a cost savings. I am wondering what the best method is alcohol vs glycerin, how to figure out potency as well as dosing ie not taking more than 2.5mg of the in one dose. I'd appreciate any advice based on experience. I am even considering once I create this to get lab testing just to be sure I get it right!\"\n_____________________\nI may be able to help you. Are you doing a superhigh CBD, low THC, like a 28 : 1 preparation in MCT oil? Typically migraines are controlled at about 15 drops twice daily but you will not obtain the full effect for three weeks. Taking a super concentrated allows you to spend far less money on your CBD medication because you take less medication to achieve the same effect. In addition you must eliminate all the triggers so please see the article I wrote under 'Answers' on migraines. Do not take extra calcium but you must take extra vitamin D3 in order to keep your blood level above 50 ng/mL.  Once you have a baseline of CBD onboard, you may still get a migraine but it's very easy to get rid of it. Migraine sufferers have and MAO-A snp in their genetic chart making them very chemically sensitive, and we have a hard time detoxifying so you must leave off all the toxic chemicals. Cigarette smoke and other toxic chemicals can cause a migraine in your emotions, diagnosed as depression. When you eat chemicals allergic to you may have a migraine in your gut, diagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome but don't let the doctors drug that, that is your body communicating with you. If you know you have a terrible pain in your neck and that is warning you the migraine is beginning. Treat your neck with cannabis salve and take a dose of D-ribose in order to stop the migraine before it fully involves. You must eliminate glutamate in your diet because you were extremely glutamate sensitive. You can Google and read about glutamate, The most famous one is monosodium glutamate and we are regularly poisoned in our foods with this chemical and it is neurologically toxic and can kill nerve cells.\nGood luck, I know you can do this without having to make your own medicine but you likely are over treating yourself with CBD tincture and you need to be much more diligent with removing toxic chemicals from your environment and your food.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10941-markdown","title":"The cbd spray that is sold online without a card, is that potent? ","slug":"the-cbd-spray-that-is-sold-online-without-a-card-is-that-potent","content":"\n_____________________\nCBD products that are available without a medical marijuana recommendation are typically derived from hemp. Hemp and cannabis come from the same plant genetics, so it follows that there should be no difference in CBD derived from hemp as CBD derived from cannabis. Hemp typically contains less than 1% THC, and CBD is not psychoactive, so there are no intoxicating effects from products derived from hemp. CBD acts on the same endocannabinoid receptors as THC, found throughout the body, and has been found to be effective in the treatment of pain, inflammation, migraine headaches, and for the prevention of seizures.\n\ndredmunds","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.

The reason the percentages don't add up to 100% is primarily because most the rest of the solution is the oil itself! There are also small amounts of many other cannabinoids and terpenes. Every strain is unique, and lab-testing is helping us to better understand the therapeutic benefits of different products.\n\nTHC, CBD, and CBN are 3 cannabinoids that have been found to be helpful in the treatment of pain, including neuropathic pain. THC is the primary psychoactive cannabinoid, while CBD and CBN are non-psychoactive.  For pain control without the \"high,\" it is common for physicians to recommend high CBD-containing medicine. \n\ndredmunds","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10623-markdown","title":"I love to bake and I'd like to make some pot brownies.","slug":"i-love-to-bake-and-id-like-to-make-some-pot-brownies","content":"\"Do you have any good recipes or guidelines I should follow so that I don't unintentionally make them too potent?\"\n_____________________\nYes we do!
