Any recommendations (eg the commonly mentioned formula called Rick Simpson Oil) are based entirely on anecdote and the hope that observations in the laboratory might translate into clinical effects.  The good news is that cannabis is remarkably non-toxic to human physiology, so whatever preparations are tried there is little reason to be concerned about doing harm (unlike many other 'folk-medicine' treatments advocated for cancer).  Some of the scientifically recognized effects of cannabis such as reducing nausea, improving appetite, modifying mood, and promoting relaxation are enormously helpful for cancer patients and help fortify the desire to go on, something that HAS been clinically demonstrated to have a positive effect on cancer survival.  And, of course, I strongly recommend continuing conventional medical evaluation and treatment along with any medicinal cannabis use. \n\ndrelkind","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9184-markdown","title":"Alternative methods of taking cannabis oil","slug":"alternative-methods-of-taking-cannabis-oil","content":"\"A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with Stage 4a throat/jaw cancer.

Thanks in advance for any help.  \"\n_____________________\nHi, one way to take the thick cannabis oil is to buy some empty gel caps at your local health food store and syringe the dose of oil into the gel cap and take like a regular supplement. Another way is to use the oil in a suppository. there are articles online in regards to the suppository method.\n\nPiantaTinta","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9179-markdown","title":"What ratio of THC/CBD is best for pancreatic cancer?","slug":"what-ratio-of-thc-cbd-is-best-for-pancreatic-cancer","content":"\n_____________________\nUsing cannabis as a treatment for cancer is still very much a matter of folk medicine, which just means there is no clinical science to look to in answering questions like yours.  There are lots of anecdotal reports of cannabis use as a cancer treatment, and its lack of toxicity has lead people to create and use various regimens, Rick Simpson Oil being one of the most well known.  I recommend conventional medical treatment be pursued whatever cannabis regimen is employed.  If you are asking about cannabis helping with the various symptoms associated with pancreatic cancer such as pain or loss of appetite, I would suggest beginning with 1:1 CBD:THC preparations, and if insufficient symptom relief is obtained at significant doses I would vary that ratio with more THC but maintaining a CBD level of at least 20-25%.  Whole plant preparations may contribute additional significant benefits via the well known \"entourage effect,\" so I would suggest investigating these as well. \n\ndrelkind","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9158-markdown","title":"Hi There, ","slug":"hi-there","content":"\"Ive been looking online for a store in Oregon which has a high THC content.

I’m looking at starting her on Cannabis Oil ASAP. From what I’ve read CBD and THC work best together so I want to start her on 100mg CBD & 50mg THC in the day and 50mg CBD & 100mg THC at night (the night dose as a suppository). Over the month working up to 400mg CBD & 200mg THC in the day (perhaps in 2 doses) and at night 250mg CBD & 500mg THC, continuing that dose for the next few months. Obviously dependent on how she tolerates it. Does that sound about right? These doses are pure,  So for example if the oil is 35% CBD, I’ll give her 100mls for a 350mg dose. \"\n_____________________\nI am very sorry to hear about your mother and I admire your efforts and support.  I highly recommend working with a dispensary pharmacist for the best product, dosage, and administration recommendations to maximize your mother's treatment goals. HelloMD will gladly assist by first consulting with your mother for a medical cannabis card which can occur relatively quickly. Once the card is issued, your mother can register with the state and list you as a caregiver so that you both can work with the pharmacist moving forward.

Our Chief Medical Officer Perry Solomon, MD, answered a similar question (click on the link below to see the full answer). He writes: \"There have never been any studies or documentation that any type of cannabis can cure cancer in humans. ... I tend to look at cannabis in cancer in that it can help the nausea and other side effects that chemotherapy may induce. It can increase appetite in patients who are losing weight.\"\nI have a dear friend who has stage 4 colon cancer who is using a high CBD 18:1 vape pen to manage her nausea and anxiety/stress--and has found it to be very helpful in that regard. That said, she is undergoing a chemotherapy protocol along with other meds that her doctor has prescribed her. Hope this helps.\n\nlyp\n_____________________\nCannabis effects, particularly those of whole plant preparations, can provide much help with symptoms associated with cancer and cancer treatment such as nausea, anorexia, and mood disturbance.  I highly recommend reading Dr. Solomon's response cited here as it clearly summarizes the state of our understanding of cannabis use in cancer.  He notes its lack of toxicity, and this makes it extremely safe to use as an adjunct to conventional cancer treatment, but it is not an alternative treatment for cancer in any medical sense.  \n\ndrelkind","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9083-markdown","title":"I would like to know the best ratio for helping in cancer and where to buy.

I have also seen this in anecdotal evidence as well.  However, given Dr. Olsen's experience with CBD products as well as a receptor phenomenon known as the \"entourage effect\" I might also recommend trying a tincture or topical agent that has a healthy dose of both THC and CBD, perhaps in a 1:1 ratio.  The patient can then experiment w/ other THC/ CBD ratios or even try products that are only THC or only CBD.
