Kiva is currently expanding our educational materials to patients in a number of different ways. We are working on an informational booklet detailing the Safe Use Guidelines for Edibles, which will be available as both a print-out at Collectives and in digital form. We are also working with the CCIA (California Cannabis Industry Association) to debut an educational website specifically geared to California patients. It covers everything from the history of cannabis and shopping tips for buying different products to how to safely store cannabis products away from children. For more information on CBD specifically, Kiva has a CBD brochure about our products, growing methods, and benefits of CBD. This can be found at: http://kivaconfections.com/cbd. Also be sure to visit our Instagram page at www.instagram.com/kivaconfections1, where we post useful infographics for patients. Another great patient resource you may want to check out is Cannabis Reports at https://www.cannabisreports.com/cannabis-studies. This particular section breaks down the studies addressing cannabis' use for 157 different conditions. We hope that these resources help you and yours!\n\nchristiestrong","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6609-markdown","title":"What strain is best for IIH","slug":"what-strain-is-best-for-iih","content":"\n_____________________\nSimple answer is none. Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension is an increase in the intracranial pressure for no physiologic reason. The most common symptoms are headaches and vision loss such as blind spots, poor peripheral (side) vision, double vision, and short temporary episodes of blindness.Having a complete physical exam by a neurologist and/or a ophthalmologist is needed to determine if increased pressure is present and could result in those symptoms. A spinal tap (putting  needle into the spinal canal at the base of your spine to test the spinal fluid pressure) is usually needed also to determine if the pressure is increased.\n\nThe disorder is most common in women between the ages of 20 and 50; about 5 percent of those affected are men. Weight loss is a critical part of treatment for people with IIH who are overweight and obese. Studies show that modest weight loss, around 5-10 percent of total body weight, may be sufficient to reduce signs and symptoms. \n\nFor many people, weight loss can be difficult to achieve and maintain. And for those who are able to lose weight, relief from IIH tends to be gradual. Acetazolamide (Diamox), a drug that decreases CSF production, is therefore often used as an add-on therapy to weight loss\n\nPerry Solomon, MD","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6591-markdown","title":"I suffer from vertigo.

To pass the blood brain barrier you will need a CBD:THC ratio of >20:1. Any ratio >10:1 will not make you \"high\" so you can use this during the day.  I am recommending this ratio in a tincture form two times a day every day.  It may take up to 2-3 weeks to see full effect. In addition, a CBD:THC ratio of 1:1 is good for acute pain, nausea, muscle spasms and sleep when you are not driving and need acute pain relief.\n\ndrb","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6574-markdown","title":"waking up throughout the night. can't find right combination. please help!","slug":"waking-up-throughout-the-night-cant-find-right-combination-please-help","content":"\"For the past 9 months I've been making my own edibles but they varied so much and I didn't know the strains I was getting. Some worked, some didn't. Now I am buying products and in the first week I haven't been sleeping at all in the transition. I wake up all night long. I tried 5mg hard candy edibles, and indica tincure and vaping indica. Vaping the indica was the worst! really wired me. When I tried vaping a sativa/indica blend it calmed me to get to sleep...but neither the edible nor the tincture worked to keep me asleep! I'm wondering if I've built up too much of a tolerance in the past 9 months and need a holiday. I'm scared I won't sleep at all.

In my experience w/ the patients I see through HelloMD, we've had alot of success in helping people sleep by adding small amounts of CBN along w/ THC;  try this combo (in small amounts/ dosages) first with edibles as this should provide for longer duration sleep compared to using a vape-pen or tincture.  What makes you feel you've developed a tolerance?  I wouldn't worry about this too much unless you actually notice having to purchase more cannabis products than in the past during a certain time duration to achieve the same results.  If this is the case, taking a short breather from cannabis might be just what you need.  Don't forget to exercise daily as this helps sleep and also try mindfulness & meditation right before bedtime as this has helped many of my patients.  Mindful.org has good mindfulness tips & SleepAssociation.org & SleepFoundation.org has good tips for sleep hygiene, prepping your head & sleep space for sleep.

Will I notice a difference in flavor and experience, say if I had an OG Kush from an industrial farm vs. OG Kush from a Flow Kana farmer? I'm trying to understand the difference.\"\n_____________________\nTerroir is the French term that describes the unique attributes that occur in wine based on soil, slope, aspect (South, East,  etc), fertilizer choices, harvest date, and myriad other factors.   We would go as far as to include the intention and energy that the individual farmer puts into the medicine.  Our farmers use ecologically sound practices and do not use chemical fertilizers or pesticides.  As in most industrial agriculture, large scale cannabis cultivation often includes the use of chemicals and poisons.  FlowKana farmers utilize Integrated Pest Management strategies and natural processes to create unique results.  A chardonnay grape grown in different locations will produce subtle differences.   OG Kush grown in places by different farmers will do the same; still identifiable as OG, but with subtle variations in flavor,  structure, and effects.\n\namberhappyday\n_____________________\nThis portal has had such insightful questions, but I think this one takes the cake! You kind of hit the nail on the head, likening the differences to those in wine. For better, or for worse, policy makers, industry stakeholders and patients alike, have been drawing a lot of comparisons between cannabis and alcohol, especially as we move towards a more tightly regulated marketplace. \n\nCannabis is particularly similar to wine, in that there are many subtle differences that can be easily expressed and distinguished by consumers. The cannabis plant is cultivated, harvested, processed and stored in so many different ways that there is incredible variety to the flower or hashish that makes it to the consumer. Through the decades of senseless prohibition and the devastating effects of the drug war, cannabis cultivation has been twisted and contorted into a small dark closet of our world, but with changing regulations and the guiding efforts of groups like Flow Kana, cannabis farmers are finally going to see the light.\n\nWhile conventional agriculture would have you think all tomatoes are the same; this is far from the truth. The booming organic food industry, and the overwhelming success of company's like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's should give you some insight into just how wrong conventional Ag is. Now it might be hard to imagine, but there is a significantly more stringent system of farming that far exceeds the standards of today's organic programs, and it is that standard that Flow Kana demands from it's farmers.\n\nThis nature focused, biologically driven approach to farming, practiced by all Flow Kana farmers, works symbiotically with the intrinsic functions of the plant, allowing the plant's truest expression to be revealed. When I say truest expression, I mean in all forms, but most notably, and desirably, in the smell, taste and aroma. These delicate subtle notes that delight the senses are produced by a complex, volatile group of essential oils, called terpenes, that are capable of a myriad of medicinal and therapeutic effects. The natural farming systems employed by Flow Kana farmers enhance the oil production of their flowers, making them stronger smelling, tasting, and in many cases, slightly more potent. The subtle flavor notes present in organic, heirloom vegetables, are the very same differences Flow Kana farmers are able to coax out of their craft, small batch cannabis flowers. \n\nIn short, the differences between industrial OG Kush and Flow Kana OG Kush is intention. Industrial products are always focused on volume and economies of scale, while Flow Kana farmers focus on quality and sustainability. The farmers who give back to the land, see a cyclical return back from the earth; in this case that return is the beautiful cannabis inflorescence. Flow Kana has dedicated themselves to working with the farmers who've nurtured the strongest relationships with the earth and through this amazing synergy something special is forming, we'd love to have you along for the ride!\n\nmicah\n_____________________\nThere isn't any industrial grown flowers in our industry yet. If there was any industrial grown flowers in California today it would be Flow Canna. You see Flow Canna is sun grown which means outdoor grown . When the industry becomes more mainstream you will see fields of outdoor marijuana everywhere . Like vineyards , also like vineyards produce grapes to be processed into wine outdoor cannabis will be used to make oil for vape pens, edibles and so on. Flowers that are sold in their whole form will most likely be grown indoor or in advanced greenhouse. The reason for this is cannabis flowers are very oily and sticky. Any dust , mold spores , mites or even ash from forest fires will stick to the buds. Cannabis flowers are impossible to clean (believe me I have tried several products in my 20 years of cultivating) so the only way to produce clean high end organic pesticide free flowers is to cultivate indoor where the master grower has full control of the crop. For a complete range of our strictly indoor, hydroponic, organic and vegan flowers please follow this link https://greendoorwest.com/collections/all-flowers\n\nFinally let me suggest you compare our OG Kush strains (indoor hydro genetics we have stabilized over 20+ years) ) versus any (and I mean any) outdoor strains...the proof is in the pudding :) Yes you'll be able to taste the difference like thousands of patients in Southern California already have!\n\nclaude","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6565-markdown","title":"What strain could you recommend for dealing with migraines?","slug":"what-strain-could-you-recommend-for-dealing-with-migraines","content":"\n_____________________\nI would recommend a strain or tincture with a 1:1 CBD:THC ratio, like Hawaiian Trainwreck.  \n\nFemale patients may also be interested the tinctures offered at Moxie Meds (http://moxiemeds.com/products/).\n\ndpan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6562-markdown","title":"As a medical patient what are the best strains for treating chronic pain?","slug":"as-a-medical-patient-what-are-the-best-strains-for-treating-chronic-pain","content":"\"I am also curious about the benefits of buying flower that is considered organic. Should this matter to me as a patient treating chronic pain?\"\n_____________________\nIn my view, if we are using cannabis for medical purposes, as we all currently do in California, we shouldn't be using products that have harmful chemicals and pesticides in them. It seems counterintuitive and it seems as though that would increases the chances of having an adverse effect to something we are trying to use to improve our health. For that reason, among others, I would recommend searching for flowers that are organically grown. \n\nIn terms of specific flowers to help with chronic pain I would recommend a strain that has a good balance of THC and CBD. While there tends to be the perception that CBD has more medical benefits than THC, there is evidence to show that THC can have a significant effect on pain as well.\n\nadams","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6560-markdown","title":"Does Flow Kana change strains that offered season to season or are your menus always similar?","slug":"does-flow-kana-change-strains-that-offered-season-to-season-or-are-your-menus-always-similar","content":"\"I guess I am asking if you do small batches and alternate what is offered given on what is the best quality at any given time.\"\n_____________________\nAll of the farmers that we work with grow small batch, artisan flowers. Many of them are boutique strains that are unique to the Mendocino area. The flowers that we offer are a reflection of the crop that each farmer decides to grow. \n\nCurrently, we are in the process of helping our farmers set up an agricultural cannabis co-op in Mendocino County. One of the big benefits of the co-op will be a dramatic uptick in the amount of knowledge, resources and coordination that are shared amongst farmers. As a result, Flow Kana will be able to work with the co-op and all its members to plan further ahead in terms of which farmer should grow which strains based on his or her farms' specific microclimate, skills and expertise.\n\nadams","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11552-markdown","title":"I suffer from Trigeminal Neuralgia.
