I've used CBD capsules with some success for concentration and stress management, but are there hybrid flowers I should consider for this \"Goldilocks\" blend of prolonged calm focus, creativity and strategic thinking?\"\n_____________________\nYou're looking for quite the flower! On a certain level, every strain effects everybody differently so what works for one person may not work for another person. From a personal standpoint, I tend to prefer the 1:1 THC:CBD strains that lean a bit more towards the Sativa side of things when I am working heads down on a big, project that requires a strategic and creative focus. I might suggest that you try a few different phenotypes of In The Pines. Nothing too strong on either the head or body side of things.\n\nadams\n_____________________\nI've had good luck with Blue Dream - though I've noticed it's a bit THC heavy at times. I might recommend vaporizing some Blue Dream or a similar sativa along with taking a tincture under the tongue of 4:1 CBD:THC. Be aware that the tincture will take anywhere from 15-45 minutes to kick in, so you may need to play with the timing!\n\ndpan\n_____________________\nWe get this question frequently since a lot of people are looking for the same thing as you: a flower that alleviates  stress while at the same time boosts creativity.

After using it for a week, I developed a rash where ever skin met skin, i.e. under breasts, in panty area. I now have what appears to be rough rash across my cheeks and nose. I read the response you gave about adulterated oil and another gal's rash, I don't understand what you mean by the adulterated but I would rather know how long the rash will persist  as I have stopped taking the tincture. \nThank you, Lorra\"\n_____________________\nI am a little confused because you are using this CBD tincture topically instead of an oral administration so I do wonder if you're using the medication correctly. Usually the topical preparation of CBD is a salve, a balm or a lotion and the tincture would be an oral preparation. But overall, I might treat you differently then the recommendation you received.\nI seriously doubt that you are allergic to cannabis but you may be allergic to the way the cannabis was extracted and if it was not grown organically you could be reacting to other chemicals in the preparation. An oral preparation should have been tested for purity but topical products aren't always tested for purity, I can't speak directly about the product you used. \nWe have proof now that a high percentage of RA is actually due to vitamin D deficiency. If you have vitamin D deficiency you're much more likely to react negatively in your skin because vitamin D is necessary for healthy skin. Do you happen to know what your vitamin D level is? Vitamin D is the hormone, not a vitamin and it is essential to your long-term health. Vitamin D and CBD together (Not necessarily a at the same time) can make a huge impact on helping you attain a healthier state. You must make sure you have normal kidney function since vitamin D is cleared through the kidneys. I will send an article I wrote on vitamin D attached to this answer. You may want to purchase an A and D ointment to apply to the rash to help it heal. Most people think they can get enough vitamin D from the sun but they end up destroying their skin and looking old before they should and yet they are still vitamin D deficient. If hypertension, heart disease, autoimmune disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's and cancer run in your family then very likely you maybe missing the vitamin D receptor but that would be revealed in your genetic chart. If you would like further information on how to obtain your genetic chart please send a separate question because I can only answer here one time, you must generate a new question. So the take-home answer is, I don't think you're allergic to CBD and your skin should clear up but you very likely are deficient in vitamin D and by changing your CBD product you likely will not have any further problems but you also may want to get your vitamin D issue resolved first.\nAbout Vitamin D, it is an essential hormone not a vitamin:\n\nMost humans are Vitamin D deficient. Our ancestors lived outside all day, they did not wear clothes or sunscreen and they did not shower daily washing the oils off their skin and they ate a lot of fish when they did catch fish. Vitamin D is necessary to take calcium from your diet and put it into the bones and the tissue where it can be utilized properly. If you do not have an adequate blood level of vitamin D you will calcify tissue that should not be calcified and you're more likely to suffer leg cramps at night.\nVitamin D is necessary for the human body to function normally because in the human body it is a hormone not a vitamin and hormones are necessary to create new healthy cells.\nIf the vitamin D blood level is low in your body, it negatively affects many systems, such as your muscles and blood pressure. With low levels of Vitamin D you may experience thyroid disease, chronic pain with muscle & joint aching, kidney stones & even calcified heart valves, high blood pressure, depression, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, an increased risk of migraine headaches and even a significantly increased risk of breast cancer with a greater risk for metastatic disease and death. \nThe laboratory ‘normal’ for Vitamin D3 is 30-100 (30ng/mL is rickets level) but for optimum health the blood level must be 55-100. Do you want to be just ‘normal’ or would you like to go for optimum?\nThe kidney clearance function for Vitamin D must be monitored so the larger amounts of Vitamin D are not overwhelming the ability to clear any excess Vitamin D from the system and this is the level of the active form of Vitamin D. \nFor a healthy patient with normal kidney function and vitamin D deficiency, I recommend a large dose (called a bolus) of vitamin D3, approximately 40,000 international units to be given with food one time per week  plus 5000 International units of vitamin D3 per day, repeating the sequence for up to four weeks and then do a repeat blood level. For accuracy do not take your vitamin D right before the blood test and do not do the bolus the day before or the day of the blood test. You should notice a significant sense of well-being once your blood level of vitamin D3 is above 55 ng/mL but there is no benefit in going above 100 ng/mL.\nThe blood test is a '25-hydroxy Vitamin D' or abbreviated '25-OH D'\nThe test for kidney clearance of vitamin D is '1, 25-dihydroxy Vitamin D'\nThe tests look almost the same but the tests are quite different in their function.\nLocal laboratories charge up to $250 for the Vitamin D test and insurance rarely covers the test because it has to do with your health not an illness. You may obtain the same test from an online laboratory for about $45, you order the kit a local lab draws your blood for about $15 and it is shipped off to the online laboratory and the results come directly to you. \nSome people are born with genetic snps ( a genetic change in the base sequence of DNA= snp) and those people tend to show emotional distress, osteoporosis, diabetes and even cancer since Vitamin D deficiency may exist even while supplementing Vitamin D3.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nI too began using a CBD LOTION and broke out in rashes slowly over the 2 months I have used it. Painful and itchy, not to mention the expense!\n\nKarenitaswims","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11515-markdown","title":"allergic to cannabis","slug":"allergic-to-cannabis","content":"\"My husband is using it for brain cancer but today he has congestion from it and a rash like hives on his upper shoulder area.  Appears that he is allergic to it.  He is up to taking .3-.4 units of  THC (RSO) every 10 hours along with CBD to cut the high effect of the THC.  It looks like he is allergic to it.  Would an over the counter antihistamine help or might it be true that he is allergic to it and should stop taking it?\"\n_____________________\nIt is hard to say what may be occurring.  Patients who are allergic to drugs do not usually get nasal congestion.  Nasal congestion usually occurs more from seasonal allergies such as pollen.  The hives could be related to a new virus that he is acquiring, a drug that he is taking, a topical that was applied or the cancer itself.  If he has been taking the cannabis for some time now it is unlikely related and you should contact your oncologist.\n\ndrb","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11494-markdown","title":"Is hemp cbd oil as effective for Crohns disease as real cannabis cbd oil?","slug":"is-hemp-cbd-oil-as-effective-for-crohns-disease-as-real-cannabis-cbd-oil","content":"\n_____________________\nCannabis helps to relieve anxiety and promotes sleep. Because of your use of valium your brain is adjusted to it and it will take time for it to reset without the valium. This uncomfortable feeling will be unavoidable while you body detoxes and resets. During this time marijuana provides some relief and comfort. Cannabis will not totally relieve your discomfort but it helps. I used marijuana to get off Heroin and Methadone. The entire process took a good 6 months of no opiates until I started to feel normal. Edibles from 100 mg to 300 mg are what I recommend though I am not a doctor. Use an Indica or Hybrid strain over a Sativa as it promotes sleep better. There is no overdose on marijuana. If 300 mg is to much for you you will only sleep. Its what I did at age 56. At age 63 I am better than ever now thanks to marijuana.\n\neltone\n_____________________\nI would say no - the general consensus from both the cannabis community and medical researchers indicates that hemp-based CBD is much less effective as a medication than cannabis-based CBD. This is likely due to something know as the entourage effect, in which the presence of cannabinoids and terpenes found in cannabis are believed to positively impact the therapeutic efficacy of CBD even if they aren't present in large amounts. While those in the cannabis industry have seen this to be true anecdotally, medical researchers (especially from nations other than ours) are also seeing the implications of the entourage effects in formal studies.\n\njessicapeters","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11485-markdown","title":"Would a 1 to 1 ration of THC and CBD be appropriate.","slug":"would-a-1-to-1-ration-of-thc-and-cbd-be-appropriate","content":"\n_____________________\nI believe you are asking if a 1 part CBD ratio to 1 part THC ratio be appropriate. Usually this is shown on a label as 1:1.\n\nThis is evry dependent on what you are trying to treat. If it is anxiety and you don't want any psychoactivity, you may want a 4:1 ratio or even higher. 1:1 is often psychoactive but it definitely will treat a variety of pain effectively! I always say go 'low and slow' meaning you take the minimum dosage to start and work up from there. A tinctures effects will be felt in around 20 minutes.\n\nI just purchased the Moxie Meds tincture and love it, this comes in 4:1 and 1:1.

Thanks\n\"\n_____________________\nCBD or cannabidiol works differently than THC. CBD increases our own natural cannabinoid levels (endocannabinoids), without actually binding to the CB1 or CB2 receptors. In conjunction with the other components in a cannabis whole plant extract, It seems to help stabilize many of our homeostatic functions. Basically CBD, THC and other compounds in cannabis work with our endocannabinoid system to help bring it back to equilibrium. Im sorry that I cannot comment directly on specific products. But I would start with a small dose, observe for results, and increase the dose until the desired results are achieved. There is no danger in taking very high doses of cannabis products. However, as with other plant derived extracts and concentrated products, quality and purity can vary significantly. Take caution and proceed with care.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11469-markdown","title":"Is it common to have a mood lift with high CBD products due the endocannabinoid system being tapped into?

This is likely because cannabis can help manage the harsh side effects of interferon and ribavirin therapy, which was previously commonplace for Hep C treatment. Newer antiviral regimens are available which can treat Hep C with more tolerable side effects. \n\nThere is no data to suggest that cannabis products help to treat Hep C itself. However, there is also no clear evidence that cannabis products harm those with Hep C disproportionately. A relatively recent study in 2014 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4144456/) found that cannabis use among those with Hep C did not alter outcomes substantially although a previous study did show that cannabis use was associated with higher fat accumulation in the liver among cannabis users with Hep C (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18242211).\n\nIf you are taking CBD oil or using other cannabis products, it is not likely affecting your Hep C treatment to a large extent. It is important to reiterate that there is no evidence that CBD oil can treat Hep C itself. Antiviral medication is the standard of care for treating Hep C. You should discuss your cannabis use and overall Hep C treatment plan with your hepatologist. Sharing this information with all of your physicians is critical since cannabis use can affect your eligibility for transplant in the future.\n\nsankmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11467-markdown","title":"Can tell me i there is any negative reaction between cbd oil and hepatitis C","slug":"can-tell-me-i-there-is-any-negative-reaction-between-cbd-oil-and-hepatitis-c","content":"\n_____________________\nI am not aware of the negative reaction between CBD oil and hepatitis C. CBD oil should help to support your immune system to do the right thing and restore a degree of health to your liver. You do need fresh raw greens in your diet for the B vitamins, silymarin to support the regeneration of healthy liver tissue and other nutrients such as dandelion, schizandra & NAC.

Something to  help keep the thoughts quite at night. \nThank you\nLooking forward to learning more about \" Siva \"\"\n_____________________\nI'm so sorry to hear about your experiences with PTSD - and of course the lack of appropriate resources to address it. As a fellow non-veteran woman with PTSD, I've also found I had easier access to pharmaceuticals than to therapy and I understand your frustrations. It's also difficult to find a medication only temporarily successful. While it's unclear to me what ratio of high CBD medication you tried first, and what the small increase of THC equated to in terms of ratio, I suggest trying something in the range of 4:1 - 1:1. Unless of course you have a very low tolerance to THC, in which case you might want to stick to 4:1 or above and stay at a low dose initially. We find that it's very worthwhile to try a couple different CBD rich medications with a bit of range on the ratios so that you can assess what may work best for you. This can be costly and it's worthwhile to take advantage of sampling events, sales, free gifts and donations where you can.\n\nYou bring up a very good point about how many patients have to troubleshoot before they find what ratio, dose, and delivery system works best for them. It's also important to consider that your dosing needs can potentially change over time as you develop a tolerance or as your body and wellness experiences change. I encourage patients not to give up and to work with advocacy organizations to request medications providers, dispensaries, and delivery services to offer more free samples so this process doesn't become financially taxing for those who are on a fixed income.\n\nWe also find a lot of benefit to taking notes of your experiences with various cannabis medications so that you can better suss out which options may be most effective for you in the long run. This \"note taking\" may also include your experiences with pharmaceutical medications as well as diet, exercise, and other natural medicine modalities - it's all about allowing you, and any caregivers or health practitioners you engage with, a full picture of your experience with wellness and health.\n\njessicapeters\n_____________________\nWe are sorry to hear of your challenges. We are very sensitive the struggles of PTSD as many of our customers come to us with concerns.\n\nAs @jessicaPeters has so eloquently laid out, patients often have to troubleshoot on their own and a journey of experimentation is ahead of them.
