Not looking to get high or have the munchies. ","slug":"does-cbd-work-for-back-pain-not-looking-to-get-high-or-have-the-munchies","content":"\n_____________________\nHello! CBD can be beneficial for pain. If you are interested in non-psychoactive products that have little interference with the appetite, I would recommend a higher CBD combined with a lower THC in the ratio of 20:1. You can use this in a variety of methods including vaporizing, under-the-tongue sprays or drops and topically on the skin at the site of pain. If this doesn't help much with your pain, or if you notice other symptoms such as fever, numbness, or loss of bladder control, you may need to consult a physician for a more detailed evaluation. Best of luck!\n\ndrjacquelynlew\n_____________________\n Hey! \nCannabidiol aka CBD is used by many who suffer from  back pain including me. I suggest you CBD Infused topical creams and CBD  oil for pain management. \nCBD has anti-inflammatory properties that help  in the reduction of pain.

Hope  this helps! \n\n\n\nsebastianwross","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9013-markdown","title":"What is best for chronic low back pain?

It has been very helpful with a lot of symptoms including giving me energy and I need to know about it's effect on the prescriptions I take. I am on bisoprolol, clopidogrel (plavics), and lisinopril. I need to know if I could cut back or stop taking these.\"\n_____________________\nThe benefits you are experiencing from CBD are probably not the result of any known direct actions on the cardiovascular system and I would suggest not changing your other medications unless your cardiologist approves a dose reduction.  I also want to be sure you are aware that Plavix, like other anticoagulants, shares the same metabolic pathway as the cannabinoids, so simultaneous use of cannabis and Plavix might have a small clinical effect of increasing the anticoagulant level.  For most patients this is not significant, but if using cannabis while on Plavix you should make sure you have regular testing of your INR.\n\ndrelkind","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8932-markdown","title":"What's the best product for back pain & muscle tightness?","slug":"whats-the-best-product-for-back-pain-muscle-tightness","content":"\n_____________________\nHi, We've got an article going over the best strains for back pain, which include potent strains such as Headband as well as higher CBD strains such as ACDC. You may also want to consider a cannabis-infused topical to ease your pain. -- though there are many more cannabis topicals on the market that you may find helpful. My partner has a bulging disc in his lower back that he's been applying Farmaceuticals' High CBD balm on--and he's found pain relief with that particular product. Of course, it all depends on your biochemistry, whether a high CBD topical is what you need. There are different ratios of CBD to THC available on the market, and you may need to experiment to see which is most effective for you.

With that said look for Blueberry Headband strain in edibles, tinctures, topicals, oils, transdermal patches, concentrates (Wax/Shatter/Batter/Sauce/Live Resin/Crystals), or flower.

Can I stop the pain meds and smoke pot without the withdrawl I read about stopping the vicoden? help\n\"\n_____________________\nI'm terribly sorry for your current situation.  Using med cann to help pt's wean off opiates &/or benzodiazepines has been done by myself and the other HelloMD MD's.  Usually a slow, gradual course is done.  For example, if you are using opiates on schedule tid/ thrice daily, then try exchanging one of the doses with only-cannabis products (with opiates on hand for \"breakthrough\" pain just in case).  Once you find the proper mg cannabis dosage, one can slowly move towards \"cannabis only\" days for analgesia &/or for anxiety/ PTSD mgmt, thereby freeing you from the potential psych dependency/ abuse risk seen with both opiates and benzodiazepines when both of these classes of meds are used day-in/ day-out.  To increase the likelihood of success, it is also imperative that you are performing CBT talk therapy or something related,  mindfulness/ meditation work daily, daily mild exercise, and also PT for a truly holistic multi-modal treatment program  for your anxiety/ PTSD/cervicalgia/ lumbago. Good Luck!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8700-markdown","title":"CBD or THC?","slug":"cbd-or-thc","content":"\"Hello, I have been using cannabis for chronic pain for some time as a result of encephalitis (LYME). My daily symptoms include (neuropathic) headaches, sleep disturbances, neurocognitive disorders, psychological problems, and more. Cannabis with (higher) THC helps me like no other medicine in the world. However, cannabis acts only for few hours then all symptoms come back. On the Internet, I read that the main difference between THC and CBD is that THC substitutes a function of natural \"receptors\" (works only symptomatically), but CBD restores their function (works currativelly). Unfortunatelly a dose of CBD does not give me any relief. My question is: is it please possible that my symptoms might gradually disappear with long-term therapy only on CBD or do I have to keep combine with THC to feel the effect?\"\n_____________________\nWell, as far as I've experience the CBD product, it gave me really good relief from my symptoms.\nI would like to say that if you want relief permenantly, you should wait and watch. CBD may give you temperory effect on your symptoms, but it will surely cure your diesease.\nTalking about THC, I really suggest you not to take the CBD product which include THC. Because THC simply makes you high and is illigel as well.\nYou can take any CBD product which contains less than 0.3% THC.\n\nI suggest you to take Green Roads World's CBD Oil (https://www.greenroadsworld.com/collections/cbd-cannabis-oils) for that.\n\nsebastianwross\n_____________________\nUnfortunately there is no 1 size fits all with cannabis and no 'silver bullet'. Most often symptom relief for any medical condition comes by slowly figuring out what combination of products, cannibinoids and possible ratios work for you. Many people believe that CBD is more effective when used in combination with THC and all the other cannbinoids-CBN, CBG, THCA and so on. This is called the entourage effect. THC can be very minimal and not cause a psychoactive high, especially when in combination with CBD.\n\nIn my experience talking with people, LYME is most often 'cured' by something other than cannabis-alternative treatments, etc. People I have spoken with indicate that cannabis is best for symptom relief for the inflammation, insomnia and pain associated. I am not a doctor but I would caution you if anyone says cannabis is a cure for your medical condition. I like to say it is a tool for potential health and wellness when used appropriately. \n\npamelahadfield","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":24,"numPages":16,"currentPage":3,"id":4982,"name":"Back","slug":"back","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
