I've moved back to Ohio temporarily to get surgery and heal from automobile accident I was in back in February. Thankfully they've just passed medical marijuana here I believe just last month, however, it will take a month or so for it to go into effect. I was purchasing and taking the Kushy Punch chews which contained 60mg of CBD. I have to say - it showed incredible results for my anxiety and mild-depression without the psychoactive effects - EXACTLY what I need/wanted. It would help even greater now given the medical condition from the car accident I am in. \n\nProblem being is I'm pretty sure this was CBD from Cannabis, not Hemp. As hemp has extreme health benefits, from everything that I've read and the research I've done, it's significantly different than the cannabis strains. You really have to be careful when ordering CBD online because its easy to purchase something that is false and may or may not even be CBD. \n\nSince CBD is legal in all 50 states and I'm unfortunately not in SoCal at the moment, I'm looking to see if anyone can recommend a HIGH CBD vape or edible that may be the equivalent to what I was taking in LA that you can order online, has the same benefits (or greater) and is WORTH the purchase. I realize there are a lot of scam companies and I've come here to seek any fellow humans who also take CBD and who may have recommendations online. \n\nlove and light~\n\n\"\n_____________________\nGreat question and depending on who you ask and who you are as a person, the answer could vary wildly. Personally, I have not found that CBD products from hemp have nearly the benefit or effect as CBD from cannabis. I am always on the lookout for high CBD/low THC products as I feel the same effects that you mentioned and I think the combination of cannabinoids, which create the 'entourage effect', are what is responsible for a better outcome.\n\nIt is also true you need to be careful as to what you purchase not just because the quantity of high grade CBD can vary wildly but also because hemp is often unregulated, especially if your hemp product comes from China.\n\nThat said, the brand Evoxe, carries a high CBD pen that is from hemp. They also have a new CBD pen with THC which is great. You can find their business listing on our site:\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/biz/evoxe-laboratories\n\nYou may also try Auntie Dolores as I believe they just released a new high CBD brownie which is derived from hemp. I am not entirely sure, but I believe it to be so.\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/biz/auntie-dolores\n\nI am not a doctor and this represents only my opinion. I hope it helps!\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11347-markdown","title":"Do Terra Bites have a particular strain in them, or how do strains relate to edibles?","slug":"do-terra-bites-have-a-particular-strain-in-them-or-how-do-strains-relate-to-edibles","content":"\"I have read that I should be aware of what strain I am taking for best effect. I am dealing with persistent back pain from an injury.\"\n_____________________\nOur edible products (including the Terra Bites) all contain hybrid strains of cannabis- so you will have both sativa and indica effects from them. With edibles it's challenging to make products strain-specific because of the difficulty of scaling for mass production. The jury is also out on how much the strain really impacts the edibles experience. Here is an excellent article from Leafly about the impact of using specific strains on cannabis edibles. After some experimentation they concluded that people had trouble telling the difference between a pure sativa and pure indica edible experience. This may have something to do with the way human bodies process THC when eaten, and it may even be impacted by a person's expectations of the experience itself.\n\nhttps://www.leafly.com/news/cannabis-101/indica-vs-sativa-cannabis-edibles-will-they-affect-you-differentl/?platform=hootsuite\n\nchristiestrong","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11341-markdown","title":"I suffer from extreme insomnia and schizoaffective dissorder, what CBD products are good for these conditions ","slug":"i-suffer-from-extreme-insomnia-and-schizoaffective-dissorder-what-cbd-products-are-good-for-these-conditions","content":"\"strengths do I go for, right now I live in a state that cannabis is illegal, I have been using some very strong flower, but this gets very expensive driving back and forth to a state that I can buy. I need help!\"\n_____________________\nIf you are using cannabis but you live in a state where cannabis use is illegal, you should move since it is also illegal to transport cannabis across state lines. The super high CBD/low THC is legal in all 50 states so you could acquire the high CBD cannabis as long as it is super low in THC and classified as hemp since this formulation would likely give you relief from your symptoms. You will need to take the high CBD cannabis for about 3 weeks before you can feel the benefits although the cannabis will be working for you. \nIn the meantime, consider having your genetic chart done since you may have a neurotransmitter problem that predisposes you to have the symptoms you are having. \nConsider reading Dr Amy Yasko's book, 'Feel Good', available on Amazon for $15.\nWhen you are feeling better and more stable, join the people in your state fighting for legal cannabis or consider moving to a legal state because it may be a while before cannabis is legal in all 50 states.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11334-markdown","title":"With diffuse glioma (brain tumor)and symptom of weak muscles, will SRO help?","slug":"with-diffuse-glioma-brain-tumorand-symptom-of-weak-muscles-will-sro-help","content":"\"My husband went from Texas to San Diego; got SRO MMJ.  Had trouble walking onto the plane--finally managed with help.  On the first day in SD started the MMJ.  Second day I gave him too much and he hallucinated; so stopped treatment because on the second and third days he could not walk to the bathroom because leg muscles cannot hold him--seems to be the major symptom of his tumor although he is a little disoriented, too, but no pain. I have him in the hospital now and will shortly transfer him to SNF.  I am wondering, with his current condition, if the MMJ will help him recover beyond the muscle weakness and get him back to health that I can treat him with the remainder of the MMJ--which should take 2-3 months to finish 60 grams.  Do you believe his lack of mobility is beyond correction because of the diffuse glioma having advanced too far to reverse?  Or might the MMJ help him become more mobile?\"\n_____________________\nRSO: Rick Simpson Oil is generally a very highly concentrated oil of THC. The recipe is now being offered by many providers but, was originally a product developed by Rick Simpson who has been teaching and sharing his recipe and story for several years. He was published a book and describes the recommended protocol in the manuscript. I am including a link here that will take you to other links including to the book so you can do some additional reading.\n\nhttps://www.cancertutor.com/hemp_oil/\n\nMost people cannot tolerate the goal of 1gram of THC per dose, especially if new to cannabis use, and have to slowly work up to the dosing. It is recommended you start with a very small amount (grain of rice size for several doses and slowly increase over weeks). Every individual has their own sensitivity to the effects of THC and rate of increase should be determined by tolerance of side effects and cannabis itself.  \n\nAs the dosing is slowly increased, say every few days, the side effects begin to mitigate, but I strongly suggest you spend sometime reviewing the information available on RSO to improve you chances of successful dosing for your husband. \n\nHaving a high CBD concentration sublingual solution on hand is helpful as well as when the side effects of THC are too disturbing; high CBD concentrations can mitigate or reverse the THC effect.\n\ndrgerhart","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11323-markdown","title":"Can you use these products while pregnant or breastfeeding?

I'd like to try cannabis to see it can help. \"\n_____________________\nI am not a doctor, but a HelloMD doctor addressed this very question in a previous question:\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/answers/573b68f0676b91000c000177/i-m-10-weeks-pregnant-and-have-morning-sickness-can-marijuana-help-with-the-nausea\n\nTo paraphrase Dr. Solomon's answer, in a University of Adelaide Study \"showed that women who use cannabis up to their 20th week of pregnancy have a 5 times higher risk of labor and birth before their 37th week. Of these women, 64% delivered at less then 32 weeks.\"\n\nJudging by this study which took into account a large control group, it is not advised. You will see a lot of information online to the contrary.\n\nHope this helps\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11303-markdown","title":"Cannabis and bad dreams?","slug":"cannabis-and-bad-dreams","content":"\"I was using straight CBD drops for pain and sleep. I started at 6 drops and worked up to around 15 drops. I am a real lightweight. After using the drops for about a week I began to have really bad dreams. I started going back to just 4 or 5 drops. Still get the bad dreams. Do you have any ideas on how to bypass these bad dreams? \n\nAny suggestions on other products I could try?\"\n_____________________\nI have heard that once stopping THC use some people experience lucid dreams. To a certain extent, I have experienced it myself. Not necessarily bad dreams, bu very realistic. Something about THC makes me sleep in a way that makes me either not dream, or forget dreaming. So my advice would be to try something with a little THC in it and see if that will suppress your dreams. It does for me.\n\ncannabear\n_____________________\nYes, it can! To many, this is a surprise as people equate cannabis to a restful sleep and to many it is. The right amount of THC is linked to a shorter REM sleep and a deeper deep sleep cycle. Too much can cause anxiety and paranoia, the right amount induces sleep. \n\nSo what about CBD? CBD on its own has actually been shown to promote wakefulness which could be putting you into a longer and more active REM which is related to dream activity and the actual memory of that REM cycle.\n\nA few possible solutions. One, you could take CBD very early in the day and see if this diminishes your reaction. The other option might be to introduce THC into the equation close to bedtime. Take your drops and try a tincture or sublingual spray that is for sleep. Start very low and slow so you don't make it worse. I do one spray of a sublingual THC sleep spray and this helps me sleep through the night, like a log! Lastly, I find the way I react to different products varies. You may want to try a different brand and see if there is a change in how you react. I have noticed this myself, which is why I suggest this.\n\nEveryone reacts differently. I'm not a doctor, this is only my opinion based on my own knowledge. Hope this helps and good luck!\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11243-markdown","title":"How long does the effect last?","slug":"how-long-does-the-effect-last","content":"\"If I use the Foria Explore, how often do I need to put in a suppository to get lower back pain relief? Also, how many do you use?\"\n_____________________\nHi,\n\nThank you for your inquiry! \nPlant medicine affects everyone differently.    Foria Explore and Foria Relief users are reporting anywhere from 4-24 hours of pain relief.   One suppository is one dose, so I recommend starting with that and up your dose if necessary.  Please be mindful that one suppository has 60mg of THC and 10 of CBD and although most people do not experience any psychoactive effect, more than one dose at a time can be a lot of cannabis for some.  Go slow and see what works best for you.\n\nkarin","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11214-markdown","title":"What could you recommend for boneloss of jaw, alopecia areata and neuropathy?","slug":"what-could-you-recommend-for-boneloss-of-jaw-alopecia-areata-and-neuropathy","content":"\"I have a severe bone loss condition in the jawbone following loss of teeth.

She was weak & her appetite had fallen off and going to the bathroom had been difficult for several months.  I didn't want to do cheap - I just wanted the rest of her life to be as normal & pain free as possible.  Within a day of taking high cbd capsule (from canna-pet) she was back to being a Z I hadn't see. In over a year - engaged, relaxed, happy - appetite back - wanted to play! And more normal bathroom habits.   She lived another 10 normal months & Up until the last few hours of her life you wouldn't have known she was sick & I am so thankful.  My vet said if I found something that worked than go with it.  There is a growing amount of research about cannibis & tumors in the liver.  Additionally there are pet insurance companies that cover such an alternative therapy.  \nI am so sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. - Socampy8\n\nsocampy8","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11211-markdown","title":"Do these help digestive problems?","slug":"do-these-help-digestive-problems","content":"\"My cat is on antibiotics right now for an ear infection and he's been having diarrhea.

Apparently, the dog was having accidents all during the day and night.  After he began taking Treatibles on a regular basis, the diarrhea and incontinence disappeared.  Not only was she relieved to know that her dog was feeling better (he hated having accidents in the house), but she was thrilled not to have to spend so much time every day cleaning up after him.\n\nThe results of this study indicate that CBD is helpful in the treatmentt of inflammatory bowel diseases:\n\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22163000\n\nlisag","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11203-markdown","title":"I am not getting the pain relief when using Alive botanical drops.

I have severe L-4, L-5 back pain, and spinal stenosis.\"\n_____________________\nI am not a doctor but in terms of pain relief have you tried a topical? Sweet ReLeaf is a wonderful topical that helps with localized relief. They also have a double strength that can be used on chronic pain, such as yours. I have nerve pain in my back and I have used this product successfully and i have heard from many others, great relief stories.\n\nIn my experience, it often takes a lot of experimentation to find the right formula of product, ratios and strain and it is highly dependent on the person and condition. Have you tried vaping? Anecdotally, we seem to hear a lot from people with back pain, who find relief with vaping throughout the day. It is discreet and you could start with a high CBD ratio pen if you do not want to feel stoned/high. \n\nAgain, I do not suffer from the kind of pain you have and I am not a doctor, these are merely suggestions. I wish you well.\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11139-markdown","title":"What to use to get back to sleep for middle of night waking and staying up.","slug":"what-to-use-to-get-back-to-sleep-for-middle-of-night-waking-and-staying-up","content":"\"I wake up after 3 or 4 hours and sometimes can get back to sleep with 5HTP or valerian, but lately I am operating on just those few hours and am exhausted. I read edible indica is recommended. Can you name some products I could try?\"\n_____________________\nIt is true that an indica is a good choice for sleeping, whereas a sativa will make you more energetic. Hybrids, the combo of the two, might have that energetic effect as well.\nAs everyone is very different in their reaction to cannabis, you most often will need to experiment with what works for you. For instance, if you are sensitive to THC it may actually be very easy to take too much and even with an indica it could keep you awake.\n\nMy advice to you is to go low and slow and experiment with some different products. One approach you might take is to use cannabis before you go to bed and see if it extends your sleep. If you choose this route, many people like to use edibles. Auntie Dolores has many different THC infused products. Do yourself a favor though and do not take more than 5mg your first night and see how you react, if all is good but the effect was not enough you may want to increase to 10mg the next night. An edible will take a minimum of 1 hour before you feel the effects. One edible I adore is Flora's pro biotic mint chocolate bite which is a 5mg dose. You can find this on www.Getsava.com  They do statewide delivery and the people there will always give good advice.\n\nThe other route to go is with a tincture or sublingual spray. I find that Alta Botanical California's spasm tincture works well for me. I also like Absolute Extracts sub lingual spray Sleepytime. For me one spray of this under the tongue is enough. I will spray one squirt in my mouth in the middle of the night if i can not sleep and it works well, but I do feel a little lethargic in the am, but that is me. Tinctures and sub linguals work quickly and the effect can be felt in as little as 15 minutes. Again, go with a lower dose than suggested and see how it works for you.\n\nYou could vape before bedtime and this could work for you. There are indica dominant oil cartridges out there that are good for sleeping. I don't like theidea of vaping near bedtime so this is never my preference. Be cautious regarding your sensitivity to THC as it could keep you up. Start with one puff and go up from there.\n \nWhat I would not recommend are the gummies they hand out at the dispensaries with purchase. They always seems to steer people towards these and i have yet to meet someone it works well for for insomnia.\n\nHope this helps!\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11122-markdown","title":"Daytime and nighttime strain suggestions for multiple symptoms?","slug":"daytime-and-nighttime-strain-suggestions-for-multiple-symptoms","content":"\"I'm looking for good strains for vaping. I have back pain, arthritis, headaches, copd and insomnia. What are some good strains for these - both daytime and nighttime?\"\n_____________________\nTo avoid psychoactivity and mental fog, use high CBD strains like ACDC or CBD:THC ratios of 1:1 or 2:1(Harlequin, Cannatonic, Medi-Haze). Topical cannabis salve is effective in relieving pain, inflammation, and spasm when massaged into the affected area - great for day or night. Small amounts of strains like Blue Dream are good for daytime pain and inflammation but have some psychoactivity that usually dissipates after an hour or so if you don't use too much. But for a full entourage effect, try to use a strain that has at least some CBD. CBD and THC act better together than either one does by itself. Acetaminophen potentiates the pain relieving effects of THC. NSAIDs diminish THC's pain relief. Indicas like Granddaddy Purple, Purple Haze, Purple Urkle, Critical Kush, Master Kush are excellent strains for nighttime. Not only do they relieve pain, muscle spasm, and inflammation but they facilitate falling and staying  asleep.\n\ndrfrye\n_____________________\nWell, for the day time you are going to want something that can give you the effects, but not something that puts you down energy wise. That's great at night, but what about if you have things to do? Sativas, they give you that creative boost as well as making life more bright and cheery. (Green crack is a great daytime medicine.  It helps with lack of appetite in my case. ) Indica is your night dosage. Helps you sleep kills pain for a relaxing finish to you day. Spent time with your family or play some video games. (Try chocolate chunk, northern lights, or some purple durkle.)\n\nlai","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":144,"numPages":16,"currentPage":13,"id":4982,"name":"Back","slug":"back","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
