My dr increased to 75mg which only when I pms I get anxiety. I’ve suffered from panic attacks since I was a kid ( not frequent) .. I hear cbd has great benefits. I am not a fan of ssri’s and if I can be off it I’d rather....\ni Know how to wean off Zoloft but I don’t have much experience with cbd dosage etc. on top of that is it something you take daily like I do Zoloft and dosage? If you start to have a panic attack is there a form of cbd you can take to help at that point ? I can’t or won’t take thc  \nthanks \"\n_____________________\nFortunately there are lots of CBD-only options out in the marketplace for you.  Yes, you can take cannabis while weaning off your SSRI.  You could take a CBD-only capsule, or gummy etc on a regular basis to keep a maintenance level of CBD for anxiety treatment/prevention.  If you have a panic attack, however, you can use a CBD vape pen, since the inhaled form will start working very quickly.

THC will be helpful but CBD is what will help to put autoimmune disease in remission and the THC may make your friend happy and functional.  I would start your friend on a high dose CBD tincture to start building up the CBD levels. The THC may be done during the day (Please, see the article on microdosing THC) with CBD at night for deep restorative sleep and long term improved health but it will take about 1 month before there is a noticable difference and two months before you can really tell a difference so please, trust it will work. \nDo consider going on a Paleo diet to eliminate all free glutamates from the diet since these are highly addictive and toxic especially to the neurological system.

Finding a preparation helpful for their symptoms often requires that patients do some cautious experimentation with different varieties of cannabis and cannabis preparations containing various ratios of CBD:THC. I suggest reviewing the cannabis 101 article on the HelloMD website (https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) to begin discovering which types of cannabis preparations might be helpful and appropriate.  Patients with anxiety often report the most benefit from preparations rich in CBD but also with small amounts of THC, such as 4:1 CBD:THC tinctures.  As with many medicines, effects may change with larger doses.  Begin with small amounts and increase gradually to find the optimal range.   \n\ndrelkind\n_____________________\nHi there! I am not a Doctor, but you might find this article we published helpful: https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/57f2b7f12b1e99000a671ac3/top-10-high-cbd-marijuana-strains-for-anxiety \n\nIt goes over different studies that have shown that CBD is beneficial for anxiety relief, as well as some strains that are high in CBD. \n\nHere are the links to the 2 studies mentioned in this article. 1) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21307846 2) http://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273(14)00017-8\n\nHope this helps!\n\nmelissa\n_____________________\nIf you are seeking clinical studies regarding the effects of CBD on anxiety and depression there is still relatively little that is definitive.  As an example, although Melissa noted two scientific papers that addressed the issue, one of them was a promising report but a small study, and one of them involved finding CB1 receptors in key brain sites involved in anxiety (CBD does not bind to CB1 receptors) and was not a clinical paper.  The good news is there is an enormous body of anecdotal evidence that CBD is helpful for patients experiencing anxiety, and there is zero evidence of any toxicity at all.  This means that you can feel free to do some cautious experimenting to find a preparation and dose that are helpful without fear of doing harm.  I hope you have the opportunity to go to a place where cannabis use is not criminalized so you can discover its potential benefits, but I'd start enthusiastically with CBD if that is available to you.  \n\ndrelkind","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8975-markdown","title":"Cannabis Clashing with Work","slug":"cannabis-clashing-with-work","content":"\"I use cannabis sparingly in the evenings to aid my ailments and provide relief. I also use it for my spiritual practices, as it brings me closer to God. Just the other day, a co-worker of mine got fired for testing THC positive and has his cannabis card (*I am not sure if he disclosed the fact that he had his card prior to testing). I've taken a temporary break from my medicine, as i'm concerned and am seeking advice. Do I have any legal grounding for using medicinal cannabis? Apparently the law states that it's the employer's choice to let someone go for testing positive. I also wonder if I could be protected for my spiritual/religious use under the first ammendment? Has this happened to anyone, or can anyone provide advice? I'm in a random testing pool for safety sensitive reasons (unreasonably put in this catigory) but work mostly at the desk as part of a marketing team. Prior to testing, if I disclosed my medical info, would it be treated like any other prescription?\"\n_____________________\nMultiple courts have ruled that an employer can demand a drug free work environement. They can test you for THC or other compounds and, if they are detected, they have cause to fire you with no recourse on your part. The fact that you have a recommendation from HelloMD, or even a state issued cannabis card, does not make a difference.\nAs to using it as part of a religious practise, I would think the same applies. However I am not an attorney so I cannot give you legal advice on this.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\n \nAdditional points to consider: There are occupations such as truck driving, teaching, and police officer that require their employees to be alert cognitively and physically. Impairment in these types of professions may cause harm to others; therefore it is important to be compliant with not using cannabis at work. When it comes to off-site use, it is best to discuss cannabis policy regarding one’s job with the employer. \n\nLonah NP","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8951-markdown","title":"How much thc in in a normal joint?","slug":"how-much-thc-in-in-a-normal-joint","content":"\n_____________________\nHi there!

He used a high THC concentrate on her and his family found it very helpful. To give you an idea of oil strength, it was somewhere in the ball park of 500mg THC per 1g oil. Oil was a whole plant extract. They said that it just made her happier and helped her sleep. They started with a small rice grain sized amount of oil and just upped it til they got the effect they were seeking. They never gave her a full gram in one dose. \n\nDanielle Lim \n_____________________\nAlzheimer  is a degenerative incarnation of Dementia in which there is the  building of plaque along with neurons in various parts of the brain.\n\nI don't know the exact cause of it but the result is lack of function in the neurons along which the plaque has grown.\n\nFrom  what I've seen the person suffering from Alzheimer's disease have  difficulty in keeping their thoughts together, along with delusions,  disorientation, and more.\n\nBy  the citation of What Is CBD, I somewhat know that hemp based  Cannabidiol aka CBD is a pure and potent antioxidant that is known to  reduce the oxidative stress that induces the plaque in the first place\n\nSo I suggest Hemp derived CBD against Alzheimer.\n\nsebastianwross","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8886-markdown","title":"Is it true the CBD works better with little be the THC on it?","slug":"is-it-true-the-cbd-works-better-with-little-be-the-thc-on-it","content":"\"\n\n\"\n_____________________\nHi there. There is research to suggest that the cannabinoids in cannabis (like CBD and THC) work better together than in isolation. Researchers named this the \"entourage effect.\" Here's an article our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Perry Solomon wrote on the subject for a little background. There doesn't have to be a lot of THC in the product for the entourage effect to be present so if you're not sure about consuming THC you can choose products that have a CBD:THC ratio of, for example 20:1.

This is my initial use of CBDs for sleep. Dr recommended a vap \nand at least 8:1 ratio of CBD to THC. I have very severe insomnia. What products do you recommend. Is the pen itself seperate from the medication or are they sold together?   \"\n_____________________\nHave you received any improvement with the 8:1 CBD/THC product?  I assume you receive 2-3 hours of sleep and then wake again and have difficulty going back to sleep.  The vaporized product is excellent and potent during waking hours, but its effects are much shorter than an ingested product.  Speak to your provider about an edible at bedtime with a similar ratio and see if that offers significant improvement.\n\nNP Joshua\n_____________________\nYour 8:1  product may work for you but that would be if you were taking 1mg of THC but are you taking the correct dose? Please, be sure to read the label.\nIf you are using an oral spray, check to see how many sprays it will take to receive 1mg. If 1mg of THC is not enough, you may need to go to 2mg of THC and on up until you find your effective dose for sleep. It is the combination of CBD with THC that usually produces very effective sleep but the 8:1 is a very low dose and due to the CBDs it will also help with reducing inflammation.  However, as the other advisers have suggested an edible is more likely to keep you asleep. \n\ndrolson\n_____________________\n\r\nHello there, Let me share a thing or two with you.\r\n\r\nI'm  going to answer this from my single-handed experience since I've been suffering from Insomnia and chronic backache for a long time.\r\n\r\nCBD was suggested to me by a dear friend, I did a little bit research on it and here is what I have found:\r\n\r\nCBD stands for Cannabidiol.
