There have been studies regarding the use of cannabis and heart disease which of course includes some issues with hypertension and those studies have shown increased risk for heart disease especially a rapid heartbeat with the use of THC especially if combined with other drugs in the class of anti-cholinergics (including some antidepressants). CBD cannabis or cannabinoids do you have a hypotensive effect but no clinical human trials have been done that I'm aware of at this time. If your heart is normal, You don't have heart disease chances are Cannabis may be of benefit for you to relieve anxiety and stress that may be causing hypertension but also address your exercise habits, fluid intake especially water, Vitamin D3 blood level, your diet especially the amount of sodium versus potassium (we need more vegetables and fruit and less prepackaged, prepared foods) and your sleep habits since these will all affect your blood pressure and your degree of heart disease. And the last issue is that we all need to love more an judge a little less to have a happy heart.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nIt would make sense that an individual person could find an individual strain that benefits them to reduce their high blood pressure if, for example, someone finds a strain of cannabis that reduces their stress or uplifts their mood and in turn, that can lower ones blood pressure. If someone is pre-dispositioned to high blood pressure or if their blood pressure is due to poor habits then cannabis alone may not be the only solution. As Dr. Olson mentioned, rapid heart beat is associated with the use of cannabis and we always recommend speaking to a doctor before you begin any sort of cannabis regimen. Chronic smoking of cannabis may increase blood pressure so perhaps switching to a Vape, Volcano, or edibles may be a good way to go. If you can find a strain or product that makes you happy then you are on the right track. Hope this helps.\n\nBartSmart","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7278-markdown","title":"What would be the best strain to combat racing thoughts?","slug":"what-would-be-the-best-strain-to-combat-racing-thoughts","content":"\"Basically what would be best for acute anxiety relief in moments where your thoughts start to get out of whack and you may have a panic attack?\"\n_____________________\nGreat question and unfortunately there is no one-size answer. There is a lot out there about cannabis quelling anxiety and it is true that a large percentage of people who seek cannabis do find relief with it for their anxiety. But that said, it can go the opposite way with a strain that is too high in THC or if your THC tolerance is very low, which mine happens to be!\n\nI am going to steer you towards an article that we wrote.

I would try a few different strains and see what works the best. You may benefit from topical cannabis applied directly to the most painful areas. You can use ointments, sprays, transdermal patches and other preparations. Concentrated cannabis (hash, dabs, wax) provides strong, fast effects, and it gives one the ability to control the effects better than waiting for an edible to take effect.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7240-markdown","title":"I love my Pax Era!

Very few treatment options are available, but cannabis seems to be provide some relief and possible could slow the progression of this disease. I would start with a whole plant extract in tincture format. Make sure that the tincture is rich in CBD, THC and the other compounds found in cannabis. Rick simpson oil/hash oil is also reccomended on a daily basis. Cannabis is a very diverse plant, grown all over the world.

Please look for a high CBD oil, AC/DC, Harlequin in Cannatonic are three of the more popular high CBD oils to vaporize to get you out of pain almost immediately. At the same time you may start oral CBD's since they do take about a month to become fully effective but they are working to get rid of the inflammatory cells.\nThe real healing in cases like fibromyalgia is to recognize that this problem is most likely due to vitamin D deficiency so to fully resolve the problem the vitamin D deficiency must be addressed. Ideally the blood level for vitamin D to overcome chronic pain would be above 55ng/ml, but do not take your vitamin D on the daily you're having your blood tested or could appear erroneously high.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7175-markdown","title":"Will the pax era come out with strain specific carts?","slug":"will-the-pax-era-come-out-with-strain-specific-carts","content":"\n_____________________\nYes it will!

Do you mean derealizatoin- depersonalization disorder?  From what I understand, this disoder is most often seen from victims of trauma.  I suspect that it may be related to multiple personality disorder or what is now known as dissociative identity disorder;  however, as a caveat I'm not a trained as a psychiatrist and this is only a hypothesis.  I think med cann can be used but I would only do so with small amounts/ %'s.  My guess is that lower THC strains would probably be best.  However, the gold-standard for treatment is behavioural treatment therapy / talk therapy.  I would NOT use cannabis to try to treat this on your own , the same recc' I make to all patients w/ mental health issues interested in using med cannabis.

Given the fact that cannabis has no toxic or overdose potential, it is one of the best medicines available. Which cannabinoids and terpenes are most beneficial? And in what ratios? And in what dose? And in what route of administration? These questions might be answered in the years to come. I think whole plant cannabis is far superior to any of the cannabinoids in isolation. Cannabis is an incredible teacher plant that will continue to show us how little we know about the processes of the body and how much more we have to learn. It would make sense to me that sunlight grown, organic (maybe bio-dynamic) cannabis that expresses a balanced ratio of  cannabinoids, that is grown, harvested and processed with intention, love and care would provide the best medicine.\n\nandrewvanmd\n_____________________\nI concur w/ Dr. Andrew Vanderveer about the possible potential for cannabinoids as future anti-neoplastic agents.  Recent literature searches I've performed recenlty show interesting action of both THC and CBD  on diff. aspects of glial (neuron/ brain cell) growth , controlled cell death / apoptosis and formation of new vasculature/ blood vessels.  However, I  want patients to be very clear that this research is very PRELIMINARY.  The Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Solomon has written about this issue;  it would not be wise for a patient with an astrocytoma to eschew monitoring and treatment by standard chemo-therapeutic agents/ Surgery/ etc and instead go to RSO.  I myself am NOT a fan of RSO, this article in the Skeptic's Dictionary gives a good explanation:\nhttp://skepdic.com/ricksimpson.html\nI hope this helps\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7085-markdown","title":"How to help memory loss and absentmindness -- any treatments or strains?","slug":"how-to-help-memory-loss-and-absentmindness-any-treatments-or-strains","content":"\"Without a doubt, the profound memory loss and absentmindedness are the worst effects of my cannabis use.  It helps me in so many ways -- but these are tough side effects for me. Are there any strains or any difference with edibles or vapors that are better in this regard.

Thanks\"\n_____________________\nThe key to any medicine, food or behavior is utilizing the minimum effective dose or \"enough is as good as a feast\". I would decrease the amount of cannabis you use and only utilize it when necessary. CBD also seems to help decrease some of the \"negative\" aspects of cannabis use, and I would suggest an outdoor, organic, sun-grown variety. Also try to use a wide variety of strains and methods; inhaled, topical, tinctures, patches, suppositories. \n\nandrewvanmd\n_____________________\nI couldn't agree more;  Well said, Dr. Vanderveer!  I like the analogy \"enough is good as a feast;\"  a lot of people imho w/ cannabis may find that a little goes a lot farther than they might think.  Moderation is always a good idea even for cannabinoids that might be listed in the literature as less psychoactive\n\ndrpark","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":120,"numPages":21,"currentPage":11,"id":5783,"name":"Strain","slug":"strain","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
