With so many options out there, can you give me an idea of what I should start with? 10:1? 4:1? I would like a high CBD for during the day, so I can continue to work, etc. would love to know what you recommend.\"\n_____________________\nPlease, review the articles about cannabis use for migraines answered previously.  High dose CBD cannabis should give you relief and you can use an 10:1 or higher, that is CBD: THC and you will not be high so you can do that during the day. After work you may want to try a 4:1 spray since it's very effective for pain but you would notice a high. Consider staying away from high-dose THC when you are in pain because it has the potential for increasing your pain. Also make sure you are well hydrated with water and a little caffeine may help.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11355-markdown","title":"Can I get a medical card in a state that THC is not legally available?

This is highly dependent on the state and the laws in each state. Unfortunately, the laws are so different state by state that there is now way to know unless you look up the government regulations for that state. I would also do a back up check in with a dispensary within that state to make sure you do not go through the trouble and find no one will actually sell product to you.\n\nYou may not legally transport MM over state lines, this is illegal in every state.\n\nIn California, you can obtain a medical card as an out of state peron if you have the consultation with the doctor within state lines. That said, some dispensaries will still not serve you without a license. The dispensaries do not always follow the state laws, they often follow what they believe to be the state laws.\n\nI hope this helps!\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11345-markdown","title":"Why does THC negatively effect me?

I have to first say that I am not a doctor but I am a cannabis user and operate a delivery service and that does it's best to stay read on new research on the nuances of cannabis effects. \r\n\r\nI have a couple follow up questions for you:\r\n\r\n1. I understand that smoking has not been a positive experience, are there other ways of consumption that has yielded positive effects? \r\n\r\n2. If the answer is yes, what are they? (Edible, tincture, topical... )\r\n\r\nHere are a few things I have found about the range of effects of cannabis as well as a few tips I give our members in choosing their medicine and method of use that might help and add some perspective:\r\n\r\n-Research is finding that while THC and CBD are some the most widely known cannabinoids, CBN is also an active cannabinoid that contributes to sleepiness.\r\n\r\n-Terpenes - Essential oils produced in all plants, and is what provides the aromatic experience is one of the greatest variable in the effects that strain.\r\n\r\nThe best thing that I have found for myself as a cannabis user is to listen to my body. Some people do not like the smoking experience, the direct hit of THC to the blood stream from the lungs can be shocking to some peoples systems. Other people don't need to consume it at all and there body responds better to topical. \r\n\r\nHope this helps some, there is still more research that needs to be done.\n\nninaparks\n_____________________\nHave you ever smoked a high CBD flower before? My brother is so sensitive to THC that he can only tolerate smoking high CBD low thx flower so that the CBD helps take the edge off of the thc. I'm not sure if there is a biological reason behind his intolerance or if he's just too nervous about it. Cannabis seems to amplify what we already feel. I've noticed that nervous smokers generally stay nervous, while people that are comfortable with their environment and cannabis in general are more inclined to have more favorable effects.\n\ncannabear","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11330-markdown","title":"Why does THC or CBD cause me to lose my desire for alcohol?","slug":"why-does-thc-or-cbd-cause-me-to-lose-my-desire-for-alcohol","content":"\"I had been consuming alcohol on a daily basis until I started to micro dose with CBD tincture.

It seems a very high amount, and I am quite sensitive to THC.\"\n_____________________\n60mg is a relatively high amount of THC, you're right. And if you're especially sensitive, it is good to be aware of your limitations. If you're concerned, you might consider starting with half of the suppository, just to see how your body reacts. \n\nOne factor to keep in mind is that due to the nature of CBD, the 10mg of CBD will help offset any psychoactive effects that the THC might cause.\n\nashleym\n_____________________\nHi.   \n\nWhen used vaginally or rectally, THC is processed differently than when ingested orally.  When ingested orally, about half of the THC gets a first-pass processing by the liver, which creates the psychoactive effect.  When used vaginally or rectally, THC is avoiding this process and most people do not experience any psychoactive effect.   \n\nI am also sensitive to THC and could not stand ingesting 60mg orally without being out for the count, but I can easily take a rectal or vaginal suppository without feeling \"high\" at all. \n\nIf you want to be sure and start slow, we absolutely support that.   Our suppositories are homogenous and you can easily cut them in half for a half dose.  \n\nAlso, check out this great article about the benefit and bioavailability of suppositories:\nhttp://cannabisdigest.ca/cannatory/\n\nkarin","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11289-markdown","title":"Can THC/CBD work for a massage recipient to decrease pain?","slug":"can-thc-cbd-work-for-a-massage-recipient-to-decrease-pain","content":"\"I am a massage therapist.

Oils that have a ratio of THC:CBD of 1:1 have the full Entourage Effect. That is, the sum equals more than it's individual parts. CBD and THC act synergistically, potentiating each other's pain relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. With a balanced oil, much of the psychoactivity is mitigated, therefore, you have the advantage of treating your symptoms and remaining clear-thinking and productive without being mentally impaired or appearing loopy or stoned.\n\ndrfrye","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11287-markdown","title":"I've tried this... well, my wife has... to absolutely no effect.

I initially used it for medical reasons.  I found that if I use the same thing or strain too many times in a row, I had little to no effects eventually...it didn't matter if it was THC or CBD. The thing is to change it up every so often, or even a few times in a week. Or stay away from it for awhile. When you go back it should be ok. Everyone's different though.

With all cannabis products it is a matter of trying different amounts and time frames to see the effect.

","slug":"how-to-relieve-the-symptoms-of-medication-withdrawal","content":"\"In conjunction with starting the use of cannabis to help with PTSD. I started to taper off my medications for depression and anxiety. With my doctors approval. Now that I have completely stopped the medications both (Celera and Klonapan).

I just tried a tincture that has a higher THC in the evening and it made me feel awful. I will try a lower dose tonight, I used the full dose my first time.

I guess it just shows how long I have been on these medications and how I need to be patent and In the long run get my body regulated on healthier alternatives. Thank you \"\n_____________________\nWith all respect to Dr. Olson,  I've seen this following syndrome in my practice called Antidepressant Discontinuation Syndrome.  Here is a helpful article you can look at and also bring to your own MD.  The authors of this very well made article suggest against abrupt discontinuation of SSRI, SNRI's and other anti-depressants.  I want to stress that this has just been in my practice and Dr.Olson also probably has just as much if not more experience than I in this matter.  I offer this article humbly:\nhttp://www.aafp.org/afp/2006/0801/p449.html\n\ndrpark\n_____________________\nYou might be having SSRI (Celexa) withdraw symptoms. I could happen if you were on a high dose or even a mild dose. If a mild dose you might want to try waiting it out a day or two more and see how you do. If you were on a higher does or can not tolerate the withdraw symptoms, you might want to restart your Celexa. Restart at half the dose you were on. After a few days, or when you feel better, you might want to try again to taper off the Celexa. this time try cutting back on the dose by 50% each week (4-6 days). If you continue to feel ok, keep cutting back on the dose until you are off. If the withdrawal symptoms develop again, go back up on the dose you were on that didn't give you withdrawal symptoms and try again this time tapering the dose ever 2 weeks. The same issue can happen with the Klonopin. If so, try the same slow taper as mentioned above.\n\ndrpinto\n_____________________\nI have successfully removed many patients from SSRIs but the benzodiazepines are a whole other story. I usually encourage patients to be on high-dose CBD (~28:1) twice a day (10-15 drops twice daily) for one month before you start to withdraw from your either medications. SSRIs you can typically abruptly discontinue but save all your leftover pills because in about 4 to 5 days your body will want more SSRI medication, so give it a pill, if you need another pill the next day you can do that also but then try to stay off the medication for approximately a week, your body will scream for more and that's when you give it one or two pills but you will notice this is a sub therapeutic dose so your body will be tapering off at this point and it typically only takes a few weeks for you to be off the SSRI completely.\nBenzodiazepines should never abruptly be discontinued because they cause horrendous side effects.\nBenzodiazepine should be reduced by one dose per month. Please don't try to discontinue the benzodiazepines any quicker than that or you could cause more depression. You will eventually be off the benzodiazepines. You must be very careful with your THC intake because if you go high on THC you will increase your anxiety. Until you are well stabilized off the benzodiazepines you must concentrate mostly on high CBD Cannabis to keep your body calm but you don't get the full effect of CBD cannabis for approximately 3 to 4 weeks. Since you are prone to anxiety and depression, You legally can carry a high CBD/ low THC spray with you but when you are driving you must carry it in the back of the car like an open container of alcohol. If you feel anxious, one spray of the high CBD cannabis (8:1 to 18:1) should have a nice calming effect.\nMost people are vitamin D deficient and many doctors only measure the inactive form, 25-OHD, but they should also measure the active form that is excreted from the kidneys, 1,25-dihydroxy Vitamin D, since the inactive form maybe low but the active form maybe high and you don't want to overstress your kidneys. \nVitamin D is necessary for the human body to function normally because in the human body it is a hormone not a vitamin and hormones are necessary to create new healthy cells.\nIf the vitamin D blood level is low in your body, it negatively affects many systems, such as your muscles and blood pressure. With low levels of Vitamin D you may experience thyroid disease, chronic pain with muscle & joint aching, kidney stones & even calcified heart valves, high blood pressure, depression, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, an increased risk of migraine headaches and even a significantly increased risk of breast cancer with a greater risk for metastatic disease and death. \nThe laboratory ‘normal’ for Vitamin D3 is 30-100 (30ng/mL is rickets level) but for optimum health the blood level must be 55-100. Do you want to be just ‘normal’ or would you like to go for optimum?\nThe kidney clearance function for Vitamin D must be monitored so the larger amounts of Vitamin D are not overwhelming the ability to clear any excess Vitamin D from the system and this is the level of the active form of Vitamin D. \nFor a healthy patient with normal kidney function and vitamin D deficiency, I recommend a large dose (called a bolus) of vitamin D3, approximately 40,000 international units to be given with food one time per week  plus 5000 International units of vitamin D3 per day, repeating the sequence for up to four weeks and then do a repeat blood level. For accuracy do not take your vitamin D right before the blood test and do not do the bolus the day before or the day of the blood test. You should notice a significant sense of well-being once your blood level of vitamin D3 is above 55 ng/mL but there is no benefit in going above 100 ng/mL.\nIn order to sleep as you're going off your other medications, please be aware that you may need to keep your CBD: THC ratio in a 2:1 balance in order to sleep without anxiety, so if you have had more THC in the evening you may need to take a higher dose of CBD to balance the ratio of CBD to THC.\nI know this all sounds technical and it sort of is but you can do this because I've had great success with other patients and if you still have questions you can always send your questions and we will give you an answer.\nIf you do have further questions, please don't send those questions as a response to this posting since the posting will only allow us to answer one time, then you must submit a new question.\nGood luck, this may go a little slow but it is well worth the journey to get you away from dangerous, addictive Western pharmaceutical drugs.\n\ndrolson","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":228,"numPages":25,"currentPage":20,"id":5834,"name":"Thc","slug":"thc","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
