A 1:1 ratio of CBD/THC is very good, but in higher doses can have a mild psychoactive effect. If you don't want any \"high\" then make sure that you have more CBD than THC, so a 2:1, 4:1 8:1 CBD/THC ratio would work better for you.

It works in all forms of arthritis in my experience with a host of side benefits like improved mood, skin and hair quality and sleep. CBD from industrial hemp is available by territories in almost every state of US and territories. THC is not required. The scientific evidence is excellent in preclinical studies and my clinical experience. Doses range from 30-60mg per day.\n\ndrblair","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7923-markdown","title":"Small amounts of CBD spray/edibles haven't helped my severe anxiety, how much can I take?

You increase your dosage slowly every few days but it just sounds like you are not taking enough medication at this point. THC can oftentimes increase in anxiety so you do not want high levels of THC but when you want to go to sleep you may want to bring your THC up close to the same dosage of CBD's, or a 1:1 dose. \nYou can vaporize small puffs of a high CBD/low THC vape solution and that should start to take affect within10 to 15 minutes with the full effect to be expected in about 1 hour.\nIf you are doing edibles it requires that your digestion has to be perfect otherwise we don't even know that you're absorbing the medication but what you do absorb tends to be very effective but unpredictable and this is why very few drugs are given as edibles.\nThe oral sprays tend to be effective but I have no idea what dosage you are using.

I have copied/pasted a very thorough answer from Dr. Sank of HelloMD.\n   \n\"Short Answer:\n\nCannabis consumption in a systemic form such as smoking has been associated with heart palpitations and fast heart rhythms. Smoked cannabis should likely be avoided in your case for this reason. Some studies suggest the negative cardiovascular effects of smoked cannabis are related to THC. There has not been enough research on CBD extract products to determine if they are safe for those with atrial fibrillation. There have not been any studies associating localized forms of cannabis with harmful heart rhythms. It is likely safe, from a cardiovascular standpoint, to use topical cannabis infused patches, balms, salves, massage oils, etc. in limited quantities for localized pain control.\n\nYou should discuss your particular case closely with your cardiologist and cannabis-recommending physician before use.\n\nLong Answer:\n\nA growing number of case reports have demonstrated an association between smoked cannabis consumption and adverse cardiacvascular effects. This includes cardiac dysrythmia including atrial fibrillation and increased cardiac work, which can precipitate cardiac chest pain and even heart attacks. Smoked cannabis has also been associated with low blood pressure upon standing which can increase the risk of fainting. These effects are likely mediated by an effect in which THC triggers the sympathetic nervous system in intermittent users. Chronic users appear to develop tolerance to triggering of the sympathetic nervous system; however, they may suffer from microscopic damage to the arteries that supply the heart.\n\nInterestingly, a recent large case-control study from Denmark demonstrated that NSAID type medications (Ibuprofen/Advil and Naproxen/Aleve etc) are also associated with increased incidence of atrial fibrillation. This is in addition to prior literature that shows NSAIDs can aggravate hypertension. A series of two studies published in 2015 additionally show that opiates are likely associated with a higher risk of heart attack and atrial fibrillation. Unfortunately, there is no ideal option for chronic pain control in the setting of atrial fibrillation.\n\nReferences:\nKorantzopoulos P. Atrial fibrillation and Marijuana Smoking.

This is because the common fibrillation definition is irregular twitching, which is related to inflammation.  \n\nI found a general article where you can learn more about cannabis treatment and heart complications, along with causes.
