Many patients have successfully used cannabis to treat symptoms of ADD and ADHD. Keep in mind that this effect is strain and dose specific. Some strains will increase concentration and focus while others strains will interrupt concentration and focus. Sour Diesel is a popular strain used to focus but there are many others available. It is best to keep the dosing low, to about a few milligrams. Marijuana affects everyone differently so strain, dosage and route of administration should be discussed with your provider.\n\ngabriella","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8413-markdown","title":"What is the most concentration of CBD in milligrams that one can find in a topical?","slug":"what-is-the-most-concentration-of-cbd-in-milligrams-that-one-can-find-in-a-topical","content":"\"I can't locate a roll-on preparation of topical cannabis that has more than 250mgs of CBD in it. \"\n_____________________\nHow about finding a concentrated CBD oil that has a high amount of CBD and mix it with some coconut oil and apply as a topical.\n\nPiantaTinta","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8250-markdown","title":"Can hemp make you feel dizzy, with poor focus, slow reactions, and inability to concentrate?","slug":"can-hemp-make-you-feel-dizzy-with-poor-focus-slow-reactions-and-inability-to-concentrate","content":"\n_____________________\nHemp CBD is generally safe to use. When taken by mouth and appropriately in adults. Cannabidiol doses of up to 300 mg daily have been used safely for up to 6 months. Higher doses of 1200-1500 mg daily have been used safely for up to 4 weeks. Cannabidiol sprays used under the tongue have been used in doses of 2.5 mg for up to 2 weeks. \n\nSome reported side effects of CBD include dry mouth, low blood pressure, light headedness, and drowsiness.\n\nConsidering lowering your dosage or stopping all together if you began experiencing these side effects with CBD use.

","slug":"how-do-you-make-cannabis-suppositories-and-or-topical-creams-from-medical-oil-concentrate","content":"\"I'd love to hear your experiences with making your own marijuana preparations.\"\n_____________________\nI have used this recipe before:\nUsing cannabis oil suppositories with the same dosage amounts as oral ingestion is another way that cannabis oil can be taken to treat cancer. Some people believe suppositories may get cannabis oil into your bloodstream better than orally taking the oil. To make a batch of cannabis oil suppositories you would want to start with 100 grams of cocoa butter for every 1-2 grams of cannabis oil. (YOU CAN CLICK HERE TO GET COCOA BUTTER) First you will need to melt your cocoa butter. This can be easily done by putting the cocoa butter in a stainless container and use a gentle heating device like a candle warmer to melt it.  Next add your cannabis oil to the melted cocoa butter while on the heating device. Stir the melted cocoa butter/cannabis oil mixture together so that the oil is evenly mixed throughout. Next you pour the warm mixture into suppository molds that can be purchased online.  Let them cool at room temperature. You want to start with 1-2 grams of cannabis oil per 100 grams of cocoa butter. This is a good starting point so the suppositories are not too strong. You can then increase the cannabis oil according to how much the patient needs or can tolerate. You will work towards being able to take as much oil per suppository as you would take orally.  Cannabis oil suppositories can be used when the cancer is in the lower part of the body like the bowel, prostate or anus.  Getting the oil as close to the cancer as possible is a great idea.\n\nPiantaTinta","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10010-markdown","title":"I suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), would smoking marijuana help me focus?","slug":"i-suffer-from-attention-deficit-disorder-add-would-smoking-marijuana-help-me-focus","content":"\n_____________________\nHello!  Before answering, there would be a couple questions with which  I  would want clarification.  When were you formally diagnosed with ADD/ ADHD and what types of treatments have you tried so far?   Have you been diagnosed with anything else that might contribute to the diagnosis? (i.e. anxiety/panic disorder, depression diagnosis, etc?).  As for cannabis, there are interesting studies being done, that might link ADHD to the CNR1 (Cannabinoid receptor 1) on Chromosome 6 ( article link: \n  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2685476).   However, there are other studies that seem to find a correlation between ADHD and CUD (Cannabis use disorder) (article link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4882033/)\n      \n     So with all these seemingly contradictory bits of information , what would be my recomendation?  If you haven't been formally diagnosed by a psychiatrist and at least given a good trial of first line medications, you owe it to yourself to at least check these  out first or to see if your initial diagnosis of ADHD might have been mistaken.  Another option is that cannabis can be used in moderation to help you as a pt handle the side effects from  the Rx meds/ stimulants.  If you absolutely can' handle these  Rx meds and want to experiment with cannabis, I would only do so under a very controlled setting with the lowest amount of cannabis use possible and with a psychiatrist/ therapist supervising the overall treatment plan.   Keep in mind that if you are under the age of 25, heavy (daily/ near daily)  cannabis use has associated cognitive/ IQ decline and increased rates of schizophrenia-like symptoms, worsening of anxiety/ depression, bipolar and other unsavory mental health issues; mult. sources have cited that this is linked to the frontal lobe of your brain being damaged. The overall message is: yes, this might help but overall ADHD should be managed by a multi-modal response that includes more than medications as cited by sources including the British Journal of Psychiatry. I hope that this information helps and if you want to talk further for an online consult, we can do that too!\n\ndrpark\n_____________________\nUnfortunately, there is very little formal research regarding the possible therapeutic value cannabis may have on ADHD and ADD.  However, a recent study by Loflin et al., studied current cannabis users and found that when the study subjects did NOT use cannabis, they were much more likely to exhibit hyperactive-impulsivity symptoms; or alternatively worded, cannabis helped reduce hyperactive-impuslivity symptoms in established cannabis users.\n\nAccording to the study above though, cannabis did not have much effect on focus. However, there is a plethora of anecdotal evidence supporting a positive effect on both hyperactive-impulsivity and focus. There was even a study which polled ADHD internet forums about the effectiveness of cannabis as a treatment. The study concluded that despite a lack of systematic research supporting the beneficial effects of cannabis use for ADHD, online discussions indicate that cannabis is helpful for improving focus in ADHD patients.\n\nWhen considering the above, in combination with the fact that conventional medications for ADD wreak havoc on one's health, I do believe that cannabis is a viable treatment option to try. Most of my ADD patients report a significant boost to their focus with a very small dose of sativa or a sativa-dominant hybrid.\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9942-markdown","title":"Can cannabis make your face and/or body feel numb?","slug":"can-cannabis-make-your-face-and-or-body-feel-numb","content":"\"I drank a small quantity, half a glass (2.5 mls of a 5 milligram serving size), of a tincture that had caffeine (mate), maca and cannabis in it.
