Because HER2+ is aggressive, she was afraid that without the chemo she wouldn't have had time for the MMJ to work. She has been working on building her tolerance to get to 1g/day with some edibles, but I'm not sure the exact %. They were home-made using a combination of CO2 extracts: 20g CannaTsu + 8g another hybrid (from what I was told %THC similar to RSO). She's able to take about 1/3g in the evenings, but doesn't like \"being stoned\" so she is also using a dropper of CBD ONE (Venice Cookie Co) to \"offset the high\". The amount she takes during the day varies depending on what she has scheduled. She's about ready to place another order so I need to know what to get her (strains, cannabinoid profile... any info I can get).\n\nWhich strains (w/ THC:CBD %) are most suited in her case? \n\nWhat is a good dose of THC/CBD in mg for her using the 60g protocol?\n\nSativa, Indica, hybrids or should she have some each??\n\nWhat the THC:CBD % of oils that are marketed as RSO?\n\nThank you for your time!\n\n\"\n_____________________\nBoth THC and CBD have shown promise in eliminating cancerous cells, preventing metastasis, preventing angiongenesis (formation of new blodd vessels in malignant growths) and in supporting the body and mind while undergoing conventional cancer treatment. Many different opinions exist as to the optimal percentage of CBD and THC in the oil. My reccomendation would be to utilize cannabis that has a balance of THC and CBD and that is not too psychoactive or sedating. The exact percentages have yet to be determined and what may be more important is to use oil that is free of solvent and other extranious chemicals. If too much psychoactivity exsists with a certain oil, it would be wise to utilize an oil with less THC.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10877-markdown","title":"Smoking marijuana helps with my anxiety but I can only smoke indica.

Is that my imagination?\"\n_____________________\nInhaling vapors or smoke of any substance can cause irritation of the airways and lead to coughing, a natural reflex designed to clear the large airways of foreign material and secretions. Habitually smoking large quantities of cannabis over a long time period can cause bronchitis and irritation of the airways, with increased phlegm and sputum as well as a chronic cough. For some people, the coughing induced by cannabis works well to expectorate secretions, and seems to help them breath better. Certain strains (and growing conditions) of cannabis seem to induce more coughing. Some connoisseurs of cannabis will be able to determine if the strain was grown indoors or outdoors, and whether of not chemicals were used(and how well they were flushed) based on the amount of coughing induced. If a certain strain of cannabis seems to induce more coughing (and this coughing is not desired), it may be wise to switch strains. Each strain is different based on genetics, growing conditions and the way it is ingested. If you experience a cough for more than a few weeks, I would recommend visiting a helathcare provider to have this complaint addressed.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10688-markdown","title":"Are there different substances between strains (Indica, Sativa)?  Is this something that is seen in others?","slug":"are-there-different-substances-between-strains-indica-sativa-is-this-something-that-is-seen-in-others","content":"\"I have found that the Indica strains help control my orthopedic and migraine pain better than Sativa strains.  With the sativa I feel like my muscles are \"Over\" relaxed and my joints (shoulders, back, knees) are grinding together even more than normal.\n\nIn addition,  the Sativa causes my anxiety to spike.\n\nI have tried edibles, caplets, and vaporizing.\"\n_____________________\nFirst, you should understand that cannabis has been heavily hybridized since it first evolved and humans began cultivating it, so many of the original terpene and cannabinoid profiles have changed. There are some \"old world\" stable strains that persist and some users swear by there characteristics, but cannabis affects each user individually. The plant's chemical components serve to try to restore homeostasis in our internal biology. \n\nHistorically, Sativas were thought to be energizing and Indicas were thought to be more sedating. \n\nFor some of the older more stable strains that have retained their genetic character that may still be true, but the overall effect of the plant or product is a result of the entire chemical profile and our internal biology. Most medicinal cannabis obtained in California is tested and the chemical profiles can be reviewed. \n\nCertain terpenes such at \"Myrcene\" can produce sedation when present in higher concentrations in cannabis. Higher concentrations of myrcene tend to be more common in Indicas, thus the more sedating effect. This is not true of all Indicas, and newer hybrids may have varying chemical profiles.\n\nUse the website address below to see an example of an Indica profile:\n\nhttps://www.leafly.com/indica/granddaddy-purple\n\nNote the concentration of myrcene on the profile.\n\nYou can compare many common strain types in this way. I suggest you keep a \"treatment journal\" to note your responses to various strains and compare the profiles when available to determine which strains are more therapeutic for you.\n\n\n\ndrgerhart","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10643-markdown","title":"What is the difference between indica vs sativa?","slug":"what-is-the-difference-between-indica-vs-sativa","content":"\"There seem to be thousands of strains of marijuana and people say it is important to select a sativa, indica or hybrid based on how you want to feel. As I'm fairly new to this, I have been reading a lot and have learned sativa makes you energetic and indica can make you sleepy, etc. I notice though that other marijuana products, like tinctures, never mention this at all. Does it really matter?\"\n_____________________\nGood question! And the answer is - probably not. People have long thought  a sativa to be tall, leggy, and energizing with higher levels of CBD, and an indica to be short, bushy, and sedating with higher levels of THC. With the degree of cross-breeding and hybridization that goes on nowadays, this is not so much the case anymore. The classifications may hold true to the plants appearance, but there are no scientific studies to support this perception of energy vs sedation. There are indicas that are energizing and sativas that are relaxing. You may notice that there are many sativa varieties with virtually no CBD (Sour Diesel) and indica with high CBD (Remedy). At a recent conference on \"Cannabis, the Botanical\", this very topic was brought up by several presenters. The consensus among botanists and herbalists seems to be that this labeling is no longer pertinent and more emphasis should now be placed on the actual cannabinoid and terpene profiles of each variety. \n\ndrfrye","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10595-markdown","title":"What kind of strain(s) is/are used in Foria?","slug":"what-kind-of-strains-is-are-used-in-foria","content":"\"Is it a Sativa or Indica?\"\n_____________________\nThat is a very good question that is best asked of the manufacturer themselves.
