However, a recent study showed that THCA spontaneously breaks down into THC even without heating.  So, there will be very small amounts of THC in your juice but probably not enough to induce obvious psychoactive effects.\n\ndrbultman","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10299-markdown","title":"Do you issue medical cannabis cards in Minnesota","slug":"do-you-issue-medical-cannabis-cards-in-minnesota","content":"\n_____________________\nHi there, \n\nUnfortunately we are not issuing medical cards in the state of Minnesota.

Cannatol RX has gathered much attention in the field of epilepsy treatment. Their \"Rescue Nasal Spray\" was the first product to be developed by Cannatol RX. Formulated to provide instant relief for individuals who suffer from frequent seizures. Rescue Nasal Spray was formulated to help minimize deaths related to Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). SUDEP is the leading cause of epilepsy related death in the United States, and can occur as a consequence of a seizure.\n\ntatiananp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10292-markdown","title":"Can I use cannabis while still on Gabapentin?","slug":"can-i-use-cannabis-while-still-on-gabapentin","content":"\n_____________________\nHello,\nThe adverse interactions of Medical Cannabis with other pharmaceutical drugs is relatively rare. There have been very few adverse interactions reported. I would engage with the provider that placed you on Gabapentin, in order to monitor the effects as an extra safety precaution.\n\ntatiananp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10286-markdown","title":"Will cannabis help with my insomnia?","slug":"will-cannabis-help-with-my-insomnia","content":"\n_____________________\nCannabis can help with insomnia. Typically I recommend using indica or CBD to help with insomnia. Indica is THC dominant and has the side effect of sedation or drowsiness. CBD is non-psychoactive and can be helpful as well. I also recommend modifying your lifestyle and evening habits to create a peaceful environment that can be therapeutic even without medication.\n\ndrjacquelynlew","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10284-markdown","title":"Had double bypass 1 year ago. Is it advisable to smoke cannabis, use a vaporizor or eat edables","slug":"had-double-bypass-1-year-ago-is-it-advisable-to-smoke-cannabis-use-a-vaporizor-or-eat-edables","content":"\n_____________________\nConsider vaporizing, very small puffs so you are not irritating your throat causing a cough. Smoking puts particulate matter in your lungs and that's not advised and edibles in my opinion containing too much sugar, starch, artificial sweeteners or chemicals from prepackaged mixes, so for health reasons I tend to shy away from edibles but you may find them perfect. We have a lot of great information on our website that will help you make your decision so, please look through the videos and you will find one on why you might consider vaporizing your medicine. Also review the paper CBD 101, you can search for it in the chat room. I encourage you to 'get well with CBD' and to kick back and relax with the THC and you will find cannabis is safer than alcohol as well as most western pharmaceutical drugs given for pain or stress.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10280-markdown","title":"Does HelloMD prescribe anything other than marijuana?","slug":"does-hellomd-prescribe-anything-other-than-marijuana","content":"\"I'm an almost 4 years sober recovering alcoholic, one reason I use cannabis is to stay sober. I am in a state where it is not legal and I have no insurance but considering naltrexone. Any guidance on obtaining would be appreciated. \"\n_____________________\nLots of doctors prescribe Naltrexone so the first place to start would be your own PCP.\nIf you do not have insurance coverage for medication please consider www.blankhealth.com\nWhen I have had to purchase prescription medications they have saved me 95% but that is not the only prescription deal out there. Good luck in your quest to have a sober life, life really is worth living.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nBesides Dr. Olson's excellent suggestions, I would also look for county agencies (a quick online search should yield phone #'s and contact info) for free/ low cost health care and resources; it may take some digging though but keep up the persistence.  I would also try local AA chapters as they might also have other state/ local agencies and other potential resources for someone in recovery.  We send our thoughts and prayers for your ongoing journey for continued sobriety!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10278-markdown","title":"What cannabis medication might best reduce inflammation caused by compression of spinal nerves by vetebrae?

Cushing's disease is the result of overstimulation of the adrenal glands from too much hormonal stimulation coming from the brain.  This is most often the result of a tumor in the pituitary gland.  Medicinal cannabis may be of some help in reducing the discomfort of the resulting symptoms, but is unlikely to have a strong enough effect on this problem to be of direct benefit.\n\ndrelkind\n_____________________\nWhile Cushing's disease is more common in dogs than it is in humans, the basic principles of the condition are the same.  I agree with Dr. Elkind in that cannabis is unlikely to have a specific positive effect on dogs with Cushing's disease.\n\ngaryr","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10260-markdown","title":"I have Trigeminal Neuralgia, can cannabis help me?","slug":"i-have-trigeminal-neuralgia-can-cannabis-help-me","content":"\n_____________________\nCannabis has been used successfully for treatment of peripheral neuropathy as well as a couple patients w/ trigeminal neuralgia.  A fair body of evidence supports the use of mainly-THC products for trigeminal neuralgia & neuropathy but one can always try various ratios of CBD as well as THC to optimize the pain relief for yourself.  One has to be careful about the use of opiates, benzodiazepines, or neuroleptics like gabapentin at the same time as cannabis products as combinations of these might increase risk of fall/ accident/ lack of balance & coordination as have been observed for some patients. \n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10259-markdown","title":"I have Trigeminal Neuralgia and I'm in a lot of pain and don't want surgery.  Is there a cannabis that can hel","slug":"i-have-trigeminal-neuralgia-and-im-in-a-lot-of-pain-and-dont-want-surgery-is-there-a-cannabis-that-can-hel","content":"\n_____________________\nTrigeminal neuralgia has both inflammatory and neuropathic components that may respond to cannabis. I would suggest a 1:1 tincture for two-three doses per day without being intoxicated. If you feel a sharpening of your senses or a slight buzzed feeling, these usually go away after using the tincture for a few days. If the intoxicating effect is too much, try a 2:1 or 5:1 ratio. By using a tincture under the tongue, your dose lasts 5-8 hours and you can have almost around-the-clock antiinflammatory and neuroprotective coverage by dosing 2-3 times a day. A THC-dominant variety can be used at bedtime to continue those effects and help with sleep. Start with a few drops and gradually increase the dose until you experience relief. Continue that dose twice daily for a few weeks and then you may be able to dose less frequently. It takes time to determine the right product and dose, so be patient. In addition, a topical balm or creme may help with facial pain. Also consider inhalation at the onset of severe pain. Getting the dose in rapidly can sometimes abort the attack.\n\ndrfrye","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":444,"numPages":63,"currentPage":38,"id":5052,"name":"Cannabis","slug":"cannabis","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
