Please, meet with one of your providers soon to determine what medications they plan to discontinue or adjust but I do not think you should be on Seroquel with Prozac, Remeron and Vyvanse all at the same time and they all have the potential to interact with cannabis. I did say there is the potential to interact but that is not a guarantee and you may not have any reaction to mixing these drugs. The interaction search is always very important and must be rechecked when your medications are changed.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10075-markdown","title":"How does cannabis effect diabetics?","slug":"how-does-cannabis-effect-diabetics","content":"\n_____________________\nThere is growing research on the benefits of cannabis on diabetes.

Is there any evidence that marijuana oil can be used prophylactically to prevent cancer?\r\n\r\n\"\n_____________________\nAs we search for anti-cancer treatments, the anti-cancer potential of cannabis has been examined in numerous scientific studies, resulting in promising leads. Significant research has demonstrated that cannabinoids may inhibit or stop the growth of cancers — including breast, brain, liver, pheochromocytoma, melanoma, leukemia, and other kinds of cancer — from spreading or growing. Moreover, cannabinoids have proven to promote apoptosis, the programmed death of tumor cells, while stopping angiogenesis, blood vessel production to the tumor. One study, conducted by Madrid’s Complutense University, showed that in one-third of rats treated, the injection of synthetic THC eliminated malignant brain tumors while extending life in another third.\n\nThe research is promising, but thus far it has been limited to pre-clinical studies, which are studies of drugs or treatments in animals prior to being carried out in humans. While the pre-clinical research offers hope, before anyone can confidently claim that cannabis can provide a “cure,” clinical research needs to be done.\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10071-markdown","title":"How do you make a marijuana tincture?","slug":"how-do-you-make-a-marijuana-tincture","content":"\"I'm looking for recipes on how to make a tincture from cannabis at home.\"\n_____________________\nHere is an article explaining on how to make a tincture for yourself :)\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/diy-make-a-high-cbd-cannabis-tincture\n\nryan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10067-markdown","title":"Is marijuana good for tension headaches?","slug":"is-marijuana-good-for-tension-headaches","content":"\"What type of marijuana product should I use and how often?\"\n_____________________\nYes, cannabis can be an excellent medication for tension headaches but if you do not deal with the origin of the tension, your symptoms could manifest as a bigger medical problem later. \nConsider using the topical CBD dominant salve on your neck or anywhere you feel the muscles are tense and you can reapply the salve every 10 minutes until the pain resolves.\nThere is a CBD dominant 4: 1, spray in the mouth tincture, that should help with a headache or you may want to vaporize a CBD dominant vape pen, such is AC/DC, since it will be in your bloodstream in 1 to 2 minutes giving you relief in approximately 10 minutes.\nI think tension headaches respond well to a daily use of CBD's because you learn to deal with stress much better using CBD Cannabis. At first you must dose CBD's frequently to get rid of the symptoms and then you can start spacing out the frequency of dosing your CBD's, because if you only take one dose of CBDs per 24 hours, you may be imprinting your nerves that you want the pain to return, so please, treat your symptoms frequently to get the pain under control before you start to space out your CBD dose. Too much THC may increase pain especially if due to tension. \nThe following book may be of great benefit to learn to live in present moment :\nI also encourage Reading the book or listening to the audiotape, Eckhart Tolle, 'The Power of Now' to get in present moment since present moment is the only time we experience joy.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10066-markdown","title":"Which is better for inflammation and pain from ulcerative colitis, hemp oil or cannabis oil? ","slug":"which-is-better-for-inflammation-and-pain-from-ulcerative-colitis-hemp-oil-or-cannabis-oil","content":"\n_____________________\nHemp and cannabis are very closely related plants but the terms typically refer to very different kinds of medicine.  If you are looking at hemp oil the most important piece of information is to look for CBD content (if any).  For instance, hemp oil without cannabinoids might be used as a dietary supplement, but hemp oil made from CBD-producing plants can be used for medicinal purposes.  Cannabis oil generally refers to oil extracted from cannabis flower, and will contain various amounts and ratios of cannabinoids like THC and CBD.  That oil can then be put into various types of medical marijuana products like vaporization oil, topical creams, edibles, etc.  For ulcerative colitis, most people find that using a combination of THC and CBD helps relieve symptoms of pain and inflammation.\n\ndrbultman","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10064-markdown","title":"How do you get a medical marijuana card in Rhode Island?","slug":"how-do-you-get-a-medical-marijuana-card-in-rhode-island","content":"\"What is the process to obtain cannabis legally in RI?\"\n_____________________\nRhode Island has had medical marijuana laws in place since 2006.\n\nThe qualifying conditions are:\n-Alzheimer's Disease\n-Cachexia\n-Cancer\n-Chronic pain\n-Crohn's disease\n-Glaucoma\n-Hepatitis C\n-HIV/AIDS\n-Nausea\n-Persistent muscle spasms\n-Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)\n-Seizures\n-Other conditions at the discretion of the physician\n\nUnder the law, patients are allowed to possess up to 2.5 ounces.

Here are a few to get you started:\n1) J.M. Bostwick, \"Blurred Boundaries: The Therapeutics and Politics of Medical Marijuana,\" Mayo Clinic Proceedings 87, no 2 (2012):172-86. This study showed that the effects of cannabis on the developing brain are greater than a mature brain, partly because cannabis can interfere with the development of the endocannabinoid system, which is necessary for homeostasis. \n2) Avshalom Caspia, Terrie E. Moffitt, Mary Cannon et al., \"Moderation of the Effect of Adolescent-Onset Cannabis Use on Adult Psychosis...\" Biological Psychiatry 57, no 10 (2005):1117-27.  This study showed that some adolescents can be more vulnerable to developing schizophrenia if they carry a specific gene variation in their DNA.\n3) J. Jacobus, S. Bava, M. Cohen-Zion, et al., \"Functional Consequences of Marijuana Use in Adolescents,\" Pharmacology Biochemistry, and Behavior 92, no 4 (2009): 559-65. This study showed that heavy use of cannabis can result in deficits in memory and attention, as well as mood problems, which can negatively impact their school work.
