We have many people with anxiety and depression that are getting great results with this tincture. Tinctures make dosing easy and consistant. \n\nPiantaTinta\n_____________________\nLet me tell you how CBD can solve your problem first.\nWhile CBD is an antioxident compound, it can rescue your anxiety. Having no psychoactive effect, CBD don't get you high. Plus CBD is a very good calming compound. This will make you more relax just after taking the dosage.\n\nNow what ticture work for you...\nThe Green Road World's CBD Oil (https://www.greenroadsworld.com/collections/cbd-cannabis-oils) would be the perfect solution for you. The reason why I am suggesting you is I've personally tried it for the depression and it worked. And I've seen many positive reviews about their products.

","slug":"looking-for-a-medical-marijuana-to-help-with-chronic-back-pain-for-my-72-year-old-father","content":"\"He has arthritis, a degenerstive building disc, and spinal stenosis. He’s not a candidate for Surgery due to age, Parkinson’s, and diabetes. Tried many other forms of pain management and nothing is working.\"\n_____________________\nIt's hard to see a family member suffer, especially if you feel you are out of options. Fortunately, cannabis is known to help with chronic pain and there are many different methods of consumption that you may try, and many that do not produce a psychoactive high. I am not a doctor, but I can tell you what other children of elderly parents have told me as well as what seniors have directly communicated about their experience.\n\nif your father is not a cannabis consumer I would start with non psychoactive products. I am not against THC, as it is a powerful pain reliever, but CBD may help on its own and it is non psychoactive. \n\nAn 81 year old that had intense chronic pain for years recently told me high CBD cookies stopped his pain in its tracks. @moonmans has a high CBD cookie you can purchase in California. Another form of cannabis to try is the transdermal patch. They can be a ratio of CBD to THC such as 1:1 and be quite effective as well. There are many products on the market for this as well. \n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nContinuing my answer... transdermal patches are time released. The other product you may wish to try would be a cannabis topical which provides localized relief. \n\nIf your father is willing to try THC/CBD for pain, vaping flower or oil cartridges can be highly effective for pain and provide immediate relief. I would start low and slow with anything that has THC. I find high CBD ratios such as ACDC or Canna Tsu can give me immediate relief. I hope this helps!\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nWe just published a roundup of the top Q&As on chronic pain--2 of which talk specifically to back pain. Answers were given by a brand expert as well as 2 doctors, including our very own chief medical officer. According to Dr. Frye, \"A variety with a 1:1 ratio of THC:CBD maximizes the analgesic, muscle-relaxing, and anti-inflammatory activity, reduces anxiety, and elevates the mood. Patients who use this ratio remain clear minded, focused, and productive without feeling high or stoned. Topical cannabis salves and lotions are also very effective in reducing or eliminating pain.\" Hope this helps!\n\nlyp\n_____________________\nCBD is the right word for your father's issue. Marijuana is basicaly a drug which make anyone high.\nCBD is one of the compounds derived from the hemp plants.\n\nHere is the link I am sharing in which you can find how CBD can be benificial in pain management:\nhttps://www.whatiscbd.com/cannabidiol-cbd-pain-relief/\n\nsebastianwross","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8590-markdown","title":"Planning on a pregnancy ","slug":"planning-on-a-pregnancy-1","content":"\"I weaned myself off of an antidepressant medication, Paxil, by using MMJ. I was taking Paxil because of depression and anxiety. I was wondering, if I plan on becoming pregnant, how would I go about medications? Would I need to get back onto Paxil? Or would it be healthier to continue ingesting MMJ? I can't imagine Paxil being ok for the fetus?\"\n_____________________\nI would like to start out by saying that I'm not a doctor! But I think you should talk with yours about your options now, while you're planning your pregnancy. I know there are some antidepressants that are ok while pregnant, but I will leave it to a doctor to say which ones.  I've attached an article below that discusses the subject that you might find helpful. \nI will say that I took a break from cannabis as soon as we decided we wanted to try for a baby and every medical professional I spoke with thought that was the best course of action. \nI know it's frustrating out there since there is very little medical information about what you should and shouldn't do while pregnant, but I definitely think a chat with your doctor(s) now would be the best thing. \nHope this was helpful! \n\ngabriella\n_____________________\nEvidence based literature is not sufficient to support the use of cannabis during pregnancy. However, according to Metz and Stickrath (2015), cannabis used by pregnant women does not appear to signficantly affect fetal health or neonatal outcomes but almost all studies rely on self-report to assess cannabis use in pregnant women. A meta-analysis of 10 studies found that women who used cannabis more than 4x per week were found to have babies of low birthweight, with a mean of 131 g or lighter when compared to women who did not use cannabis. \nPaxil is listed as a D rating for pregnancy meaning it has been shown to have postive evidence of risks but the benefits from use in pregnant women may be acceptable despite the risk. That being said, there are other anti-depressants proven to have less risk when used by women who are pregnant. Regardless of cannabis or more traditional medications, treatment of depression in the setting of pregnancy should include expertise from a mental health provider and obstretrician\n\n\njennifernp\n_____________________\nHello there!  I understand the difficult situation you are in.  When it comes to antidepressants, Paxil is in class D for pregnancy safety (generally not suggested unless there is a life-threatening emergency).  Other antidepressants are Class C (use with caution if benefits outweigh risks).  The problem is that we don't really know what cannabis does to the fetus.  There are conflicting studies that say there are no developmental differences between those babies born to mothers who used cannabis.  However, there are problems with these studies (i.e. only some mention the frequency and amount of cannabis use in the pregnant mothers).  Other studies show neurodevelopmental issues in babies born to mothers who use cannabis.  ACOG (the American College of Obstetrics & Gynecology) have the following to say about cannabis use during pregnancy and afterwards during breastfeeding:\n \n\ndrpark\n_____________________\nhttps://www.acog.org/Clinical-Guidance-and-Publications/Committee-Opinions/Committee-on-Obstetric-Practice/Marijuana-Use-During-Pregnancy-and-Lactation. However, you are between a rock and a hard place because of your anxiety and depression so I understand your quandary. My suggestion is to consider non-pharmacologic options for anxiety/depression management (i.e. intensive cognitive behavioral therapy, self-hypnosis, etc.) and discuss with a mental health professional and your ob-gyn about your options (& their own thoughts on risks/benefits of possibly using medical cannabis vs. other antidepressants) The final decision is ultimately yours.  Good luck and godspeed!\n\ndrpark\n_____________________\nIf you plan to become pregnant, the best way is not to take any medicine that may affect the fetus, the main key to a pregnancy is to first get it to generate the embryo and stabilize, so that happens you have to avoid any substance that is nociba\nThe mmj is very good for many symptoms of different patalogoias but, it can affect considerably the fetus in its formation and even more it has effect for babies who are lactating. They alter your behavior, sleep habits, sweating and arrhythmias.\n\nTry relaxation exercises, healthy food and control your pregnancy with your doctor\n\ninkatchperu\n_____________________\nPlease, consider looking at your anxiety and depression and see where it is originating, such as hypercriticism or a lack of love for yourself, is it due to excessive snack foods with chemicals that cause anxiety, is it due to lack of proper nutrients in your diet possiby from depletion due to birth control, or lack of sleep with too much stress? There are many factors that could be addressed and your health significantly improved so that you may not even need drug therapy but the drugs tend to be the quick, easy and profitable answer for typical western practitioners who are stressed for time and quick solutions. Your baby can't give consent for the drugs so it is best to avoid the drugs since your baby needs a safe, nurturing environment during the developmental stages. Please, look for a functional or integrated doctor to help you plan for the healthiest baby and pregnancy outcome possible. When you put your baby's concerns first you will come up with the best solution for both of you and start visioning and invoking your desired spirit now. \n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nThe best-supported medicinal use of marijuana is as a treatment for chronic pain\ncannabis has the ability to totally eliminate nightmares. reduces some of the pain and nausea from chemotherapy and stimulates appetite\nMY  DEALERS CONTACT INFO....his the best\ntext:::347-946-1767\nWICKR::: \"donclean\"\n\ndonclean\n_____________________\n \nThe best-supported medicinal use of marijuana is as a treatment for chronic pain\ncannabis has the ability to totally eliminate nightmares. reduces some of the pain and nausea from chemotherapy and stimulates appetite\nMY  DEALERS CONTACT INFO....his the best\ntext:::347-946-1767\nWICKR::: \"donclean\"\n\ndonclean\n_____________________\n \nThe best-supported medicinal use of marijuana is as a treatment for chronic pain\ncannabis has the ability to totally eliminate nightmares. reduces some of the pain and nausea from chemotherapy and stimulates appetite\nMY  DEALERS CONTACT INFO....his the best\ntext:::347-946-1767\nWICKR::: \"donclean\"\n\ndonclean\n_____________________\n \nThe best-supported medicinal use of marijuana is as a treatment for chronic pain\ncannabis has the ability to totally eliminate nightmares. reduces some of the pain and nausea from chemotherapy and stimulates appetite\nMY  DEALERS CONTACT INFO....his the best\ntext:::347-946-1767\nWICKR::: \"donclean\"\n\ndonclean\n_____________________\n \nThe best-supported medicinal use of marijuana is as a treatment for chronic pain\ncannabis has the ability to totally eliminate nightmares. reduces some of the pain and nausea from chemotherapy and stimulates appetite\nMY  DEALERS CONTACT INFO....his the best\ntext:::347-946-1767\nWICKR::: \"donclean\"\n\ndonclean\n_____________________\nAny pharmaceuticals you take will be flowing through the blood supply of the baby. Since you are planning becoming pregnant, you know happy hormones come along with this time.

I personally take calming herbs that are safe for all aged mammals, without any adverse side effects. Try Lemon Balm as an uplifter, Valerian root for GABA and SSRI replacement, and non-psychoactive hemp flowers for phytocannabinoid therapy, anti-oxidation, and anti-illness while pregnant.

I will increase my dose at bedtime to 2 mints (or 5 mg) during stressful times. I've also found success using the Kiva chocolate-covered blueberries (which are ~5 mg each), though I switched to the petra mints as I typically only need 2.5 mg to have a good night's sleep. As well, I've tried Kikokko's Tranquili-tea which contains 5 mg CBN and 3 mg THC--CBN is what makes you sleepy, and I found that I had a good night's sleep with it. As for back pain, here's an article you may want to read. The last of the strains in the list is ACDC, which is higher in CBD and lower in THC. I use it in vape form for my chronic migraine pain, and find it to be helpful (along with a 1:1 tincture).\n\nlyp\n_____________________\nTo completely avoid any feelings of being 'high', you can also consider cannabis-infused topicals for back pain.

I have used Foria Relief many times and have found the pain relief to be fairly immediate and the overall sensation relaxing. Although they are high in THC, and I am VERY sensitive to THC, they are not psychoactive. For many, the idea of a suppository may be off putting, but I think this is one of the best methods of consumtpion when you don't want to get high and want pain relief. As I am very senstivie to THC, this has been a great way for me to take cannabis and not experience any negative side effects.
