It would be best to try strains that are higher in CBD. It would be important to consult with a psychiatrist and inform them if you're using cannabis and it is very important to be monitored closely. We do not recommend stopping your psychiatric medication while using cannabis.\n\njulienp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7686-markdown","title":"Do any of the physicians at HelloMD have experience with treating intractable epilepsy?","slug":"do-any-of-the-physicians-at-hellomd-have-experience-with-treating-intractable-epilepsy","content":"\n_____________________\nHelloMD has a large number of trained and experienced healthcare practitioners.

Many people are using CBD for their pets that have seizures and are having good results. I am not aware of any studies done with canines, but I have had a couple of members that have used CBD tinctures and have had good results with their canines and have found that the frequency and duration of the seizures have lessened quite a bit. Here is an article from Leafly.com on the subject https://www.leafly.com/news/health/this-dogs-seizures-are-being-treated-with-cbd-d82e\nThere are a number of companies that are making pet specific CBD products for pets.\n\nPiantaTinta","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7279-markdown","title":"Can I get medical marijuana card in Virginia ?","slug":"can-i-get-medical-marijuana-card-in-virginia","content":"\"If so, what are the qualifying conditions, and what type of cannabis can I access? \"\n_____________________\nUnfortunately, the passage of the law HB1445 within your state only allows fro medical cannabis for those with epilepsy. It has often been the case that a bill like this is passed without a deeper understanding of what medical marijuana can do for people with numerous conditions. The law in your state allows for low or no THC cannabis oils, and is a complete travesty and misunderstanding by law makers.\n\nYou have no options to obtain legal cannabis in your state at the moment, which is unfortunate as it is an option you should be afforded. The best option is to ally yourself with organizations that lobby for legalization and also to write your congressman and local law makers.\n\nI hope this helps.

This is highly dependent on the state and the laws in each state. Unfortunately, the laws are so different state by state that there is now way to know unless you look up the government regulations for that state. I would also do a back up check in with a dispensary within that state to make sure you do not go through the trouble and find no one will actually sell product to you.\n\nYou may not legally transport MM over state lines, this is illegal in every state.\n\nIn California, you can obtain a medical card as an out of state peron if you have the consultation with the doctor within state lines. That said, some dispensaries will still not serve you without a license. The dispensaries do not always follow the state laws, they often follow what they believe to be the state laws.\n\nI hope this helps!\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":0,"numPages":2,"currentPage":1,"id":5237,"name":"Epilepsy","slug":"epilepsy","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
