We are concerned about any interaction issues with the cannibis and is there other strains for nighttime use that might be better for the headaches and neck pain. She suffers from anxiety due to the neck issues - opiates have nearly killed her so we're not going back there  - my main concern right now is there any issues with the interaction from the cannibis and the exeffor FYI - her current usage on the daytime cannibis is about a gram and a half and 1/2 a gram at night \nThanks\nMike\"\n_____________________\nYes, there are concerns for interaction between these two medicines. \nIncreased muscle spasm is one of the side effects that should be reported but I don't know if her pain and muscle spasm has increased since she started using the medication.\nHeadache is also listed as a side effect and she should talk with her doctor about this particular symptom.\nIncreased anxiety is another side effect that should be reported to the doctor.\nLow dose THC actually increases serotonin so she actually might do well with a little more THC in the evening, possibly a 1:1.\nIt could be quite likely that the Effexor dose needs to be reduced, she is at the max dose, but that should be left up to her treating physician.\nAs an osteopathic physician I can tell you the changes in the spine do not occur suddenly unless there's a very traumatic injury. Was this a traumatic injury that caused her neck deformity? If not, I would caution against trying to straighten the spine, you want a functional spine and is the straightening is occurring to rapidly it is very likely can increase her anxiety as a warning system.\nIt does sound like it's time to go back and visit her managing physician to possibly have her medication level reduced.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7359-markdown","title":"How much THC is in each vape pen?","slug":"how-much-thc-is-in-each-vape-pen","content":"\"How long does a typical vape pen last?\"\n_____________________\nEach of our THC Products (ENGAGE, DEEP, STEALTH) contains 350mg of THC per pen, and has an average of 150 seconds of inhalation, making each second of inhalation about 2.3mg of THC.  How long the pen lasts depends on usage, so using it all day every day it will only last a couple of days, but using it more sporadically it can last weeks or even months.\n\nmichaelkatz","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7358-markdown","title":"Will THC or CBD help me cope with Restless Leg Syndrome?","slug":"will-thc-or-cbd-help-me-cope-with-restless-leg-syndrome","content":"\n_____________________\nYes cannabis can be helpful in treating restless leg syndrome.

In addition:  muscle spasms, chronic pain, leg weakness, difficulty sleeping.  In my four years on medical marijuana, the blessed herb has “quelled” my pain enough to get some sleep, but not deep enough sleep to ever feel rested.   My question for you is:  What do you believe to be the best ratio of THC to CBD for muscle spasms and resulting pain.  I wrote THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA HANDBOOK: A PATIENT’S GUIDE TO HOLISTIC HEALING WITH CANNABIS, so I know a bit on the topic -- but it's not easy finding specific ratios for specific issues. And, as I'm sure you know, other cannabinoids like CBN, CBG and CBC are also noted to help with pain and spasms, but almost never listed in a chemical analysis available to patients. A very well respected M.D. who has written books on cannabis told me to use a ratio of 3:1 CBD:THC.  So I’m doing my own trial on that right now, using two separate products to get that ratio – or close to it, anyway.  But I’d love to know your opinion.  Thanks for being there and for your help! Norma\"\n_____________________\nI certainly don't have the kind of problems that you've had to deal with since birth but your question has significant complexity. I actually would like to know what you're doing the rest of the day. Are you taking CBD during the day? Do you have a good sleep hygiene, like wearing sunglasses about an hour before bedtime? Do you have a stressful job? Do you notice your mind won't shut up? Do you maintain a healthy blood level of vitamin D3? Are you doing Sativa and then following it with Indica? Have you tried a large doses of CBD or concentrated CBD? Are you rubbing your body down with 1:1 CBD: THC Salve before bedtime? Are you taking concentrated calcium (increases muscle spasms) or do you take magnesium? Have you had your genetic chart done with a methylation analysis? If you have your methylation analysis it may reveals at you need specific nutrients, or if you have COMT snps (Single nucleotide polymorphisms) in your chart, it indicates that you are very sensitive to neurotransmitter imbalances and you may benefit from stabilizing the neurotransmitters with other supplements.\nI would love to continue this dialogue but I can only answer one time and then you must come back in with a new entry in order for me to answer you again.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nHello there!  To start off, I want to  say kudos for taking the challenges of even \"mild\" CP and going on to overcome said challenges and even write a book on med. cann that has helped others!  Besides the excellent advice from Dr. Olsen, I might add that you might want to look into two sets of  med cann products.  One set, for daytime, might have more CBD & THC  and the other set of med cann products with more THC & CBN.   The reason that I don't set a specific ratio of cannabinoids is that every person is different in their response!  At least for me, one of the beauties of cann. medicine is that dosage is placed in the control of the patient.  So I say go ahead and experiment;  for example the 3:1 ratio of CBD:THC is probably not supported by any literature but by a pooled analysis of the pts seen by this physician.   However, why not experiment (carefully) w/ 2:1 ratio?  or 10:1?  Don't forget, method of cann. intake will also effect the pharmacodynamics/ pharmacokinetics (what the drug does to the body and vice versa).  That is, using a vape-pen will be a completely different experience from trying tincture drops in tea or even micro-dosing edibles.    I hope that this helps; feel free to joing any of our qualified MD's for a tele-chat session!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7326-markdown","title":"What does the percentage of THC mean?

It helps with pain but the I hate the anxiety.\"\n_____________________\nYour question is very common. If you go by the books, then no, topicals do not go thorugh the top layers of the epidermis and they do not enter the blood stream. I will include an article below. \n\nThat said, I always think that there is a chance you could be different, the cream could be different or maybe it just happens! The only sure way to know is if you take a THC drug test, which if this helps with the pain you may want to do just to know for sure.\n\nIf you go by what research says, it is only with transdermal patches that you will get topicals that enter the blood stream. The other alternative is to try a different cream.\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/do-cannabis-topicals-pass-the-drug-test\n\nI hope this helps!
