Basically is there anything in there other than the oil from the flowers?\n\nkarl\n_____________________\nSome of the benefits of using a pre-filled vape cartridge is the ease of use, portability, discretion, and quality/potency of the medicine. The glass and stainless steel cartridge we use to deliver our oil is a healthful alternative to some of the plastic components on the market. Our oil is created from pesticide-free, organic flower, CO2 extracted, and then put through a rigorous post-production and distillation process for incredibly pure oil. There are no additives, flavors, or fillers added, so the end result is a highly potent, full-flavor vaping experience derived from the original flower. \n\nAs a comparison, a 300mg cartridge of W Vapes would be equivalent to 1/8th of quality flower, which could run approx. $50-$60. The usual donation price from our 300mg cartridge is around $30, making it a pretty good value, and healthy alternative, to a flower vaporizer.\n\ndrjulicrockett","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6683-markdown","title":"how do I use keif or hash in my FF2?

Below are a few of the main takeaways:\nIndustrial hemp is by no means an optimal source of cannabidiol. Single molecule CBD (even if it is plant-derived) is not going to be as effective as CBD that also includes some THC, terpenes and other secondary cannabinoids. These compounds interact with CBD and THC to enhance their medicinal benefits (this is called \"The Entourage Effect\").\nIndustrial hemp typically contains far less cannabidiol than CBD-rich cannabis strains, so a huge amount of industrial hemp is required to extract a small amount of CBD. This raises the risk of contaminants as hemp is a “bio-accumulator”—meaning the plant naturally draws toxins from the soil.\nHemp-derived CBD and refined CBD powder lack critical medicinal terpenes and secondary cannabinoids found in cannabis oil. \nWe have a blog post from the Cannabis Health Summit where, Dr. Deborah Malka is quoted saying “efficacy numbers of CBD hemp oil are completely different than CBD whole extract - by tenfold… (so) if 10 mg (of whole plant CBD) works for you, you’d need 100 mg of CBD hemp oil\"... and ideally you would also add a supplementary terpene-containing essential oil like hops to mimic the Entourage Effect.\n\nmari\n_____________________\nHere is an article from Martin Lee, ProjectCBD that talks about synthetic vs whole plant CBD and also has the link to the Israeli study. https://www.projectcbd.org/article/synthetic-vs-whole-plant-cbd\nIf you think about it...nature has already figured it all out and puts together amazing combinations of chemicals and compounds, we humans think we can do better but that is not always the case!\n\nPiantaTinta\n_____________________\nI have had severe pain for two years from a unsuccessful knee replacement. A doctor tried to fix it but it keeps getting worse. I like sativa but need something strong because I do not like taking the pain pills that have been prescribed. I usually don't use them and I live in Marin county and hardly go out after being a very active woman.

At Kiva we care a great deal about quality. All of our extract goes through extensive quality testing both at the certified 3rd party labs that we partner with as well as in our own R&D and Quality lab in-house. We test the raw material prior to medicating our confections, and again after infusion to ensure our finished product meets our high standards. The labs test for cannabinoid content, microbiological screening, potency and terpene analysis, and most importantly any impurities; such as mold, or pesticides that may be present. Very few cannabis manufactures can truly claim certified Organic given the lack of authoritative bodies governing such a certification (like USDA or other Federal bodies for agriculture).

","slug":"i-live-in-federally-funded-housing","content":"\"I have just learned that if management objects to my growing I must dispose of the plants. How does that apply to my medication? Is one method of dosing more acceptable than another, legally. Am I allow to smoke my mmj? The apartments are currently smoking allowed. If they change to non smoking apartments how does that effect me? Will any of this change when recreational marijuana is passed in November?\"\n_____________________\nWell, this is a common question whether you live in Federal housing or not. Legally, marijuana is illegal at the federal level and not at the state level medically. How that translates to your apartment, I would assume it would be frowned upon to grow or smoke. \n\nIn a normal apartment situation, yes you can smoke marijuana in your building. This is a quote from a question that I answered some time ago:\n\n\"You can smoke unless your landlord specifies otherwise. If your landlord specifies otherwise, then no you may not. He or she has the right under the federal Fair Housing Act to deny your smoking within his building. Although it is legal in CA to obtain medical marijuana with a doctor's recommendation, the federal Fair Housing Act operates under federal jurisdiction, and as we know, cannabis is not legal on the federal level. From what I understand, it is possible to be evicted for smoking marijuana in an apartment, depending on the rules of your building or how your landlord might react.\"\n\nIf the legalization vote happens in November you are still in a federally funded building, and it is illegal at the federal level regardless of the vote. The best thing to do is to ask the person in charge what the policy is regarding cannabis on site. \n\nI am not a lawyer and this represents my opinion based on the research I did. I hope this helps.\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nI would second what Pamela has said. Even if Prob 64 passes in November, it still remains that any place where smoking is illegal, it would be illegal to smoke cannabis, for recreation or medicinal use. Your landlord makes the determination to make smoking of any kind legal or illegal.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6585-markdown","title":"Is medicine with low levels of THC and high levels of CBD ok to take during a tolerance break or CBD only?","slug":"is-medicine-with-low-levels-of-thc-and-high-levels-of-cbd-ok-to-take-during-a-tolerance-break-or-cbd-only","content":"\"There was some flower at a nearby dispensary that the budtender said would be perfectly fine to take during a tolerance break, it was 14.2% CBD and <2% THC, is the THC in this low enough or is no THC really the way to go during a t-break?\"\n_____________________\nIt would seem that a low THC high CBD strain would be helpful during your THC break. While the science and research on cannabis is still emerging, from my understanding, CBD works by increasing our own natural cannabinoid levels (endocannabinoids), and does not need to interact directly with the CB1 and CB2 receptors. THC does directly stimulate these and other receptors, and thus having a lower level of THC present should help to reset any tolerance that has developed.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6579-markdown","title":"Can cannabis help fight MRSA?

Thank you so much for all you do. \"\n_____________________\nIf someone has documented MRSA I would suggest being seen by a infectious disease specialist to determine what antibiotics should be used. While some studies suggest that cannabis can kill some types of bacteria in the lab on a petri dish, MRSA can be life threatening.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nI have the same question. My brother has MRSA in his foot, and the anti-biotic was only holding it at bay. When they reduced the dose, it flared back up.. until i brought him a gram of high CBD oil. A week later, it was gone.. he was taking a tiny little dose... a grain of rice, once a day, even though I had recommended twice a day (for inflammation.. i only had a thought that it might kill the MRSA) Now, he wasn't able to keep up with the CBD, and the MRSA is back. He took it orally. \n\nIf I can't find any other information, this is what I am going to recommend that he do based on my knowledge of other herbs and dosing:\n~100mg twice daily (200mg total per day) of CO2 extract high CBD oil orally for a month.\n\nsbdreamin","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6568-markdown","title":"As a cannabis farmer how do terpenes play a role in the flowers you decide to cultivate, if at all?","slug":"as-a-cannabis-farmer-how-do-terpenes-play-a-role-in-the-flowers-you-decide-to-cultivate-if-at-all","content":"\n_____________________\nBelieve it or not, terpenes are the biggest deciding factor in deciding what to cultivate in our garden. We take into account, a myriad of different factors, but the aroma and smell a particular variety exhibits are what truly sets it apart from others. Terpenes are extremely complex and useful compounds that have wide ranging effects on consumers, but general provide an antibiotic/protective influence on the plant. \n\nTerpenes are extremely important when processing cannabis flowers into a concentrate or extract. The concentrating of the essential oils from the flowers can produce an extremely aromatic, flavorful product that has become all the rage with California cannabis consumers. The most innovative techniques for solvent-less processing are actually able to retain so many terpenes that several processors are being able to provide the market with a previously unimagined level of quality.

One is an AC/DC Tincture and the other is a CBD-Rich Recovery Salve.\n\nThe AC/DC tincture is made with a strain of cannabis that is known for its high percentage of CBD. The plants are grown organically, outdoors. The tincture contains mostly CBD and has a ratio of CBD to THC of 31:1, which is virtually \"THC free\" and, thereby, should have no psychoactive effects. The tincture also contains small amounts of other cannabinoids such as CBC and CBG as well as the terpenes beta myrcene and linalool.\n\nCBD-rich tincture is good for anxiety, chronic pain, PTSD, bone healing, and can provide energy, clarity and focus. It is also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Its neuroprotective properties make it potentially useful in diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, MS, epilepsy, dementia, and other neurodegenerative disorders. \n\nEach one-ounce bottle of tincture contains a minimum of 500 mg of CBD. The 173-proof biodynamic grape alcohol is strong and can burn if placed directly under the tongue so mix the tincture with a tiny amount of water and hold it in your mouth for 15 to 30 seconds. Discuss the required dosage with your cannabis doctor. Some find relief with just a drop or two so start with the smallest dose possible.\n\nTurtle Bud’s CBD-Rich Recovery Salve is made with a blend of AC/DC and Cannatonic, cannabis strains known for their high percentage of CBD. An herbal extraction of these CBD-rich cannabis flowers is made with extra virgin olive oil together with certified organic healing herbs of arnica, calendula, comfrey, and St. John’s Wort. These herbs are combined with beeswax, vitamin E, organic jojoba, and a blend of 5 certified organic essential oils.\n\nTo maintain the quality and potency of these exceptional ingredients, the salve is poured into Miron Violet Glass. Rigorous testing has been done with this glass as a storage vessel that has demonstrated its protective qualities. Miron Violet Glass is far superior to amber glass containers with respect to maintaining potency and maximizing shelf life. After the salve is finished, these beautiful jars can be reused to store a few of your favorite buds to keep them fresh.\n\nApply the salve liberally and lovingly to treat pain from arthritis and nerve damage, back and neck pain, repetitive strain injuries, sore muscles, sports injuries, golf and tennis elbow, inflammation, as well as skin conditions such as rashes, burns, psoriasis, eczema, and insect bites.\n\nEach 30 ml (1-ounce) jar contains a minimum of 250 mg of cannabinoids with a 7:1 ratio of CBD to THC. By weight, the amount of THC in this salve is only 0.1%.\n\nPlease contact me at Joanne@TurtleBud.com for information on how to buy our products.\n\njoanne","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6566-markdown","title":"How does an artisanal strain grown with a Flow Kana farmer differ from generic industrial grown bud?","slug":"how-does-an-artisanal-strain-grown-with-a-flow-kana-farmer-differ-from-generic-industrial-grown-bud","content":"\"Is this like the difference between wines? Will I notice a difference in flavor and experience, say if I had an OG Kush from an industrial farm vs. OG Kush from a Flow Kana farmer? I'm trying to understand the difference.\"\n_____________________\nTerroir is the French term that describes the unique attributes that occur in wine based on soil, slope, aspect (South, East,  etc), fertilizer choices, harvest date, and myriad other factors.   We would go as far as to include the intention and energy that the individual farmer puts into the medicine.  Our farmers use ecologically sound practices and do not use chemical fertilizers or pesticides.  As in most industrial agriculture, large scale cannabis cultivation often includes the use of chemicals and poisons.  FlowKana farmers utilize Integrated Pest Management strategies and natural processes to create unique results.  A chardonnay grape grown in different locations will produce subtle differences.   OG Kush grown in places by different farmers will do the same; still identifiable as OG, but with subtle variations in flavor,  structure, and effects.\n\namberhappyday\n_____________________\nThis portal has had such insightful questions, but I think this one takes the cake! You kind of hit the nail on the head, likening the differences to those in wine. For better, or for worse, policy makers, industry stakeholders and patients alike, have been drawing a lot of comparisons between cannabis and alcohol, especially as we move towards a more tightly regulated marketplace. \n\nCannabis is particularly similar to wine, in that there are many subtle differences that can be easily expressed and distinguished by consumers. The cannabis plant is cultivated, harvested, processed and stored in so many different ways that there is incredible variety to the flower or hashish that makes it to the consumer. Through the decades of senseless prohibition and the devastating effects of the drug war, cannabis cultivation has been twisted and contorted into a small dark closet of our world, but with changing regulations and the guiding efforts of groups like Flow Kana, cannabis farmers are finally going to see the light.\n\nWhile conventional agriculture would have you think all tomatoes are the same; this is far from the truth. The booming organic food industry, and the overwhelming success of company's like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's should give you some insight into just how wrong conventional Ag is. Now it might be hard to imagine, but there is a significantly more stringent system of farming that far exceeds the standards of today's organic programs, and it is that standard that Flow Kana demands from it's farmers.\n\nThis nature focused, biologically driven approach to farming, practiced by all Flow Kana farmers, works symbiotically with the intrinsic functions of the plant, allowing the plant's truest expression to be revealed. When I say truest expression, I mean in all forms, but most notably, and desirably, in the smell, taste and aroma. These delicate subtle notes that delight the senses are produced by a complex, volatile group of essential oils, called terpenes, that are capable of a myriad of medicinal and therapeutic effects. The natural farming systems employed by Flow Kana farmers enhance the oil production of their flowers, making them stronger smelling, tasting, and in many cases, slightly more potent. The subtle flavor notes present in organic, heirloom vegetables, are the very same differences Flow Kana farmers are able to coax out of their craft, small batch cannabis flowers. \n\nIn short, the differences between industrial OG Kush and Flow Kana OG Kush is intention. Industrial products are always focused on volume and economies of scale, while Flow Kana farmers focus on quality and sustainability. The farmers who give back to the land, see a cyclical return back from the earth; in this case that return is the beautiful cannabis inflorescence. Flow Kana has dedicated themselves to working with the farmers who've nurtured the strongest relationships with the earth and through this amazing synergy something special is forming, we'd love to have you along for the ride!\n\nmicah\n_____________________\nThere isn't any industrial grown flowers in our industry yet. If there was any industrial grown flowers in California today it would be Flow Canna. You see Flow Canna is sun grown which means outdoor grown . When the industry becomes more mainstream you will see fields of outdoor marijuana everywhere . Like vineyards , also like vineyards produce grapes to be processed into wine outdoor cannabis will be used to make oil for vape pens, edibles and so on. Flowers that are sold in their whole form will most likely be grown indoor or in advanced greenhouse. The reason for this is cannabis flowers are very oily and sticky. Any dust , mold spores , mites or even ash from forest fires will stick to the buds. Cannabis flowers are impossible to clean (believe me I have tried several products in my 20 years of cultivating) so the only way to produce clean high end organic pesticide free flowers is to cultivate indoor where the master grower has full control of the crop. For a complete range of our strictly indoor, hydroponic, organic and vegan flowers please follow this link https://greendoorwest.com/collections/all-flowers\n\nFinally let me suggest you compare our OG Kush strains (indoor hydro genetics we have stabilized over 20+ years) ) versus any (and I mean any) outdoor strains...the proof is in the pudding :) Yes you'll be able to taste the difference like thousands of patients in Southern California already have!\n\nclaude","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":60,"numPages":10,"currentPage":6,"id":5261,"name":"Flower","slug":"flower","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
