But, now, as I use more cannabis to help sleep and vape and smoke -- my dreams are back and quite vivid. Any reason?\"\n_____________________\nMost people who smoke marijuana have less dreaming as you have indicated. Most dreaming occurs during the REM phase of sleep and for whatever reason when people use marijuana this time during REM is decreased, which leads to little or no recall of dreams.\n\nBut as with most things marijuana, everyone's experience may not be the same. Some people do report having more vivid dreams, and i am not sure of the cause of this. What I can say however, is that many times switching up a strain or a product can alter one's experience, whether that be with sleep or pain, etc.\n\nSo, perhaps you may want to consider trying numerous strains and or tinctures or edibles to see if your experience varies. I know many people who consider edibles to be far more effective for a deep slumber.\n\nLastly, I assume you are smoking an indica before bed and not a sativa, which would energize you and possibly enhance REM sleep time.\n\nI am not a doctor and this post represents my opinion and research only. I hope this helps!\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7003-markdown","title":"what's the best strain and delivery method to avoid paranoia/fear caused by cannabis?","slug":"whats-the-best-strain-and-delivery-method-to-avoid-paranoia-fear-caused-by-cannabis","content":"\"sometimes when I smoke, I experience paranoia/fear, and I'm wondering if there are particular recommendations to avoid that?\"\n_____________________\nInteresting the paranoia what is a huge problem that was greatly reduced when Cannabis became legal but many people still deal with paranoia when they're using cannabis and it's very uncomfortable. Typically both Indica and Sativa have paranoia listed as side effects. What are you trying to achieve with your Cannabis? Is it recreational or do you have a medical purpose and using cannabis?\nYou might actually like Full flower CBD.... It's not going to give you the high but you should feel really well and calm. If you prefer to vape oil there are high quality, pure CBD oils you could try.\nThere's also a nice app, Leafly... It will give you the typical characteristics of most all cannabis so you can always look for a strain that will give you what you need but exclude the paranoia.\nCheck it out... I think you will be happy you did..... Because you can enjoy your cannabis without paranoia and the delivery method is your choice.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nI would recommend using low ratio CBD strains as CBD has been know to have anti-psychotic and anti-anxiety properties. You can also browse cannabis blogs like Leafly, where they lists the most common traits of strains. I always do a quick google search of a strain before I try it. I usually keep some AC/DC on hand and if I am ever feeling uncomfortable or a little off, this goes a long way to combat feelings of anxiety and paranoia.\n\nryan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6999-markdown","title":"Is it OK to smoke bowls of weed with wax on top out of a regular bong?","slug":"is-it-ok-to-smoke-bowls-of-weed-with-wax-on-top-out-of-a-regular-bong","content":"\n_____________________\n\nIt is ok, though in my opinion that is quite a waste of your wax! In a pinch this will work, but you are just giving yourself a mildly concentrated bowl. You would be far better off vaping the wax in a dual coil or ceramic vaporizer (if you don't have a concentrate piece of course) and keeping the flowers to use separately.\n\nThe proper way to go about smoking wax on flower is to first make sure you have a reasonable sized diameter bowl for your pipe (this is not really going to work with a one-hitter). You will want to fill it and pack it down. Then, place the wax on top of the flower, ensuring that you spread it across the flower as uniformly and as thinly as you can. \n\nYou want to do this so a glob of wax does not fall right through into your pipe. Now, hold the lighter close without touching the wax. Let the wax melt into the flower, taking care that it does not start to boil/vaporize. Once the wax has spread throughout the flowers, start with a \"corner\" of the bowl and let things burn slowly (they will now that your flower is glazed in wax). Voila! \n\nYou can now smoke your wax on the flower without burning off too much of it or letting it drip through the flower into the pipe. Still, a bit of a waste in my opinion, but I know those who enjoy it.\n\nRyan\n_____________________\n\nYes! You can put wax or oil on top of cannabis flowers and smoke it using a bowl, however, i would recommend vaporizing wax if at all possible. You would want to vaporize the wax because it is far more efficient as you may be wasting some of the wax by burning it off. \n\nCombustion of flowers occurs at approximately 450°F- while wax combusts at approximately 320°F so you would be burning some of the wax off before the flowers begin to burn.\n\nHave you tried the VapeXhale? This vaporizing machine works well for both wax and flowers: https://www.xhl3.com/collections/aromatherapy-kits (edited)\n\nBartSmart","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/png;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.36986301369863,"src":"/static/65bdadc5a12c722a58235911d7a453f8/1ea00/0fd8a8df37c9df9fecd058229cfa9494.png","srcSet":"/static/65bdadc5a12c722a58235911d7a453f8/69585/0fd8a8df37c9df9fecd058229cfa9494.png 200w,\n/static/65bdadc5a12c722a58235911d7a453f8/497c6/0fd8a8df37c9df9fecd058229cfa9494.png 400w,\n/static/65bdadc5a12c722a58235911d7a453f8/1ea00/0fd8a8df37c9df9fecd058229cfa9494.png 529w","srcWebp":"/static/65bdadc5a12c722a58235911d7a453f8/116fa/0fd8a8df37c9df9fecd058229cfa9494.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/65bdadc5a12c722a58235911d7a453f8/61e93/0fd8a8df37c9df9fecd058229cfa9494.webp 200w,\n/static/65bdadc5a12c722a58235911d7a453f8/1f5c5/0fd8a8df37c9df9fecd058229cfa9494.webp 400w,\n/static/65bdadc5a12c722a58235911d7a453f8/116fa/0fd8a8df37c9df9fecd058229cfa9494.webp 529w","sizes":"(max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6979-markdown","title":"I'm trying to find a dosing solution for my edlerly mother.

For some reason I am not responding to anything I have smoke with a ceramic vaporizer or with any of the vape pens from W vapes, Bhang and Jetty. And yes I have tried the top strains for pain mgmt and have not gotten any relief. I even tried Girl Scouts and some other various strains with various THC strengths and I don't respond not even with a slight buzz. My friends think it's from being on such strong Rx's for so long. It has been recommended I try oil. There seems to be lots of different schools of thought on it. Especially the RSO since it's hemp vs cannabis and the different  cannabinoids. After having spent so much money on trying so many different strains I can't afford to play the guessing game with the oils especially after trying various weed strains and getting no relief or even a buzz from those with THC in them. I have researched oils and even looked at menus in an effort to learn more but it seems focused on making your own oil than what oils are out there and what the options are and results. Even with the RSO all about making your own and then you have the hemp vs cannabinoid issue of effectiveness.

My aunt who has been on everything from morphine to Oxy for her health issues reacted veryyy well with a relatively low dose of an edible. Your issue is most likely dosing. I take cannabis to manage pain from a bulging disc in my neck that's running a nerve and it does so well for nerve pain, but you have to make sure to take enough. I find smoking the easiest way to dose... because if you aren't getting your relief quickly, you can always go back outside and smoke a few more drags and see how you feel then. If You smoke enough of a solid thc rich strain, you will literally be in deep sleep within half an hour! Unless for whatever reason your body doesn't metabolize thc.. and that's rare. That being said, make sure you're using good meds, take your time in finding your dose, and keep trying until you do so!\n\ncannabear","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6902-markdown","title":"Is CBD a safe and possible option to keep my mental health stable ?","slug":"is-cbd-a-safe-and-possible-option-to-keep-my-mental-health-stable","content":"\"I had an episode of psychosis 2.5 years ago. This was probably caused from high stress levels, and enhanced by high THC and Cannabis usage (I used to smoke very high potent Cannabis for many (5+) years in Canada, then for 3 years in the Netherlands). The doctors in Europe told me I was dependent on Cannabis, and the doctors in Canada told me that my psychosis was probably drug induced. My episode of psychosis lasted about 2 months as well.\n\nI ended up having an accident which broke both my wrists, and head injuries as well (I had a La Forte II fracture), possibly from being hit by a car, or falling off a balcony. I have social anxiety as well. I have been prescribed Haloperidol for the last 2.5 years. I have been successfully discharged from an Early Psychosis Intervention program. My current mental health team has told me to lower the medication, continuing until I am completely free from the Haloperidol because I have been stable since my accident. I have also had some unfortunate minor issues with side effects from the Haloperidol, such as sometimes I have a lip twitch, and make a pouting face occasionally. \n\nI have done some research on CBD, and I am wondering if CBD is safe and could be something that I could take once I am free from haloperidol, to maintain stability and make sure I don't relapse one day and have another episode of psychosis? \n\nHope to get a reply, thank you for your time.\"\n_____________________\nTHC has been shown to exacerbate psychotic like symptoms, however CBD has been shown to do the opposite. Researchers have even been looking into it as a medication for schizophrenia and other illnesses where the patient experiences psychosis. I have written about this here: https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cbd-an-alternative-to-anti-psychotic-medicine\r\n\r\n\n\nryan\n_____________________\nCBD can be used as an effective way of managing psychosis. Research shows CBD increases the body's own production of anandamide, an endocannabinoid, which is said to have inverse properties of psychosis. Research also shows that anandamide may fight off psychotic breaks completely. Thus, CBD should be a resolution to this problem. However, I do not recommend testing out CBD until the Haloperidol is completely out of your system. This can take up to two months after stopping the doses. It is also good to keep in mind that THC has been noted to interfere with psychiatric medications, however, that is not the case with pure CBD. I would make sure to look for pure CBD products such as CBD tinctures and oils.\n\npetergdw\n_____________________\nA whole plant preparation of CBD rich cannabis would likely be helpful to minimize the possibility of psychosis. Make sure that the other cannabinoids and compunds are found in the preparation, as whole plant preparations are far superior to isolated cannabinoids. Start with a small dose (5-20 milligrams of CBD and 1-5 mg of THC) and observe for results, increase the dose as needed. THC in isolation, or in extrememly high, unbalanced ratios may tip off an episode of mania. Many people also report racing thoughts with a very strong sativa. CBD actually helps to decrease this effect. The bio-chemistry of the endocannabinoid system seems rather complicated, and the best advice I can give is to start with a small dose of a whole plant preparation that has a well balanced ratio of cannabinoids. Observe for results and increase the dose as needed.\n\nandrewvanmd\n_____________________\nHow to sensibly buy LEGAL cbd oil online?

There are many different ways that cannabis can potentially help with chronic pain. It is true that smoking flower from a pipe, a joint or any other way may be harsher on your throat than say vaping from a vape pen or a desktop vaporizer.\n\nMany people find that edibles work well for them. When you ingest cannabis this way you metabolize the THC so it takes longer to feel the effect (up to 2 hours often) but the pain relief can last as long as 4-6 hours.
