I use marijuana edibles to help with severe nausea from having stomach issues. Should I be concerned about an interaction between the antibiotics and the marijuana?\"\n_____________________\nThere has been no reports that I know of interactions between antibiotics and cannabis. There have been some evidence that cannabis itself has some anti-bacterial properties itself. With more reports of resistance of bacteria to common antibiotics, cannabis may be found to be a viable substitute for traditional medication. MOre research needs to be done however before I would suggest abandoning the traditional treatments.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nThis is a great question as many people make the assumption that there is no interaction between cannabis and other drugs consumed at the time. I have included a link below from drugs.com which lists a total of 602 drugs that are known to interact with cannabis.\n\nI did some reading on this topic to better understand how drugs may interact with cannabis and found an interesting fact. When combining two drugs suchg as cannabis and a a specific antibiotic it is important to know whether the effect may be \"additive\" or \"synergistic\". Additive implies that the two are added together such as 1 +1 = 2. Synergistic implies that the two compounds will create a magnified effect when put together. A great example of synergistic would be THC combined with alcohol, the effect of the THC is doubled and the effect is much greater.\n\nUnfortunately, other than forums on the topic, I was unable to see any information/research on this topic specifically. I myself have taken antibiotics and CBD at the same time with no ill effect, however that is anecdotal and not exactly research. Many people are touting marijuana as the new natural antibiotic, but this is a different subject entirely!\n\nThese opinions are my own, I hope this helps.\n\n\n\nhttps://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/cannabis.html\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9793-markdown","title":"What cannabis products do you recommend for for osteoarthritis with minimal high?","slug":"what-cannabis-products-do-you-recommend-for-for-osteoarthritis-with-minimal-high","content":"\n_____________________\nFor a minimal \"stoned\" feeling I would recommend trying a high ratio CBD tincture. A 20:1 or a 15:1 tincture would help your arthritis while causing a minimal (if any at all) psychoactive effect. Tinctures are a great way to introduce yourself in to medical cannabis as they are easy to dose correctly and are generally very mild in comparison to other cannabis products.\n\nI would also not discount topicals. Cannabis topicals are a fantastic way to medicate as they will never cause any high effect and are very portable. I personally carry a few topical in my car and always one on my person.\n\nryan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9792-markdown","title":"Is there a cannabis product for the scalp","slug":"is-there-a-cannabis-product-for-the-scalp","content":"\"My dermatologist has diagnosed my scalp itchiness and sores as psychogenic pruritis, and has prescribed clobetasol proprion for it.

Is marijuana a possible answer? [Florida]\"\n_____________________\nI would highly encourage you to try the various types of cannabis salve. I have personally found CBD: THC in a 2:1 ratio to be very affective massaged into the spine and the muscles to the side of the spine but the first couple of times you use it you may have to wait five minutes and put a second layer on for complete relief. I also like the THCA salve but I do find it is stickier. The more you use the salve, it seems like you need it less often and it is not a permanent fix but it certainly gets you out of pain.\nBones tend to deteriorate because people do not have enough vitamin D in their system to put calcium where it belongs in the bones not in the muscles and arteries so be certain you have your vitamin D level checked but for optimal results you must see someone who knows about nutrition and kidney clearance of vitamin D. In addition you must hydrate adequately to preserve the discs or that's another contributing factor to chronic spinal pain.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9772-markdown","title":"Cannabis patches","slug":"cannabis-patches","content":"\"Cannabis patches\n\"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9770-markdown","title":"What are the top cannabis strains for rheumatoid arthritis?","slug":"what-are-the-top-cannabis-strains-for-rheumatoid-arthritis","content":"\n_____________________\nHere is Nugs list of top strains for rheumatoid arthritis:\r\n* G.D.P.(Grand Daddy Purple)\r\n* O.G.

Although there is nothing in CA law that requires you to have a CA ID, as you discovered, some dispensaries have their own rules about who they admit to their collectives. Oftentimes, for these exceptions, if you present your valid CA recommendation letter and a valid state-issued photo ID (from any state), they will accept you if you bring proof that you reside in CA; this can take the form of a lease or utility bill with your CA address, or proof of enrollment at your CA college.
