I'm also using a topical product daily.  Someone just told me about THCA and suggested I take this in addition to the CBD for inflammation.   Should I try both?\"\n_____________________\nI think this is a good idea.  I've read papers recently that speak of an \"entourage\" effect when cannabinoids are combined at the CB! and CB2 receptor.  May I also advise to pre-treat the area with heat before the application of the topical products.  I also think that other topical analgesics might be useful like Arnica Gel, Tiger Balm, Icy Hot, etc.   Keep the joint moving (i.e. walking) when you can.  If there is a suspicion of arthritis, I also recc.  2-3000 mg of omega-3 supplements based on some smaller studies I've read out of Europe.   I hope this helps!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7307-markdown","title":"Is there a topical that can help reduce inflammation due to a slipped disc?","slug":"is-there-a-topical-that-can-help-reduce-inflammation-due-to-a-slipped-disc","content":"\n_____________________\nThere are several topicals on the market today in California that people seem to really love. I assume you have seen a doctor and are looking for some pain management. The one thing about topicals that i have found is that they work for some types of pain I have and not for other types. I can not really say why, but other people I talk to seem to agree with me.\n\nFor me, I have a really sore lower back from a CrossFit injury I got years ago. Sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night with acute pain. There are several brands I keep handy that are all based in California. I like Sweet ReLeaf, Herba Buena, Flower Power and Xternal (the balm).\n\nI am not a doctor and this represents my opinion only.

I can't find any guidelines in terms of dosing...What do you suggest?  I read on this site that someone used it two to three times per day but it doesn't say how many hits the person took on the vape pen, although I am assuming one or two. Please advise.\"\n_____________________\nThe reason you do not read about dosage is that dosage is incredibly individual with cannabis. The term 'low and slow' is used a lot and that means take some and wait and see how you feel and then possibly take more. The problem is is that my tolerance may or may not be anything like yours. \n\nWith ACDC there is no THC and if there is it is neglible. You won't get high, you may however get very very relaxed. I have a very low tolerance for cannabis and with my ACDC vape pen I have gone at it until I felt pain relief. Again, this is subjective as what gives me pain relief may not give you pain relief.\n\nACDC is a high CBD strain. My experience with CBD is that it takes awhile to build up in the system. I might suggest that you try a high CBD tincture and use that on a daily basis and try a vape pen that is CBD but with a small ratio of THC for ongoing pain. You can read this article to see what my experience has been.\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/micro-dosing-cannabis-stopped-my-chronic-pain\n\nI am not a doctor.

The virus has greatly weakened her ability to use her legs and get around, along with causing great pain. She is currently on a regimen of Remicade infusions, as well as taking Micophenilate. I am very interested in having her try a CBD tincture, as I have read that doctors are finding success using CBD to treat inflammation and nerve damage, which she has. I want to make sure that Cannabis won't negatively interact with the medications she's on. Does anyone have any experience with this? Also, it seems like a 3:1 CBD to THC ratio would be best for her condition. Does anyone have a different recommendation? Thank you so much. \"\n_____________________\nCannabis is an extremely safe herb with no toxic effects or overdose potential. It should not interfere with the the Remicade infusions. I would try very high doses of CBD (with some amount of THC), as this will provide anti-inflammatory effects. Sarcoidosis is an auto-inflammatory condition, it is not caused by a virus. Minimizing inflammation is key.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7128-markdown","title":"What is a good tincture for inflammation and back pain?","slug":"what-is-a-good-tincture-for-inflammation-and-back-pain","content":"\n_____________________\nMost tinctures work well but especially the high CBD tinctures but I personally do not like the ones with alcohol because if I choose to do alcohol it may be in a beverage occasionally, rather than in medicine. I like the tinctures in MCT oil but I do not know if there is an actual difference in the effectiveness since both seem to work well. In addition, all of us are Vitamin D deficient since we do not live naked outside and Vitamin D is made in the oil in the skin so we cannot make Vitamin D in our skin after 50 years old and you should not wash the oil off your skin. If you get darker in the sun, your skin likely blocks the production of Vitamin D and without supplement, you will likely go on to develop the diseases associated with vitamin D deficiency, depression, anxiety, hypertension, heart disease, autoimmune disease, diabetes, Weight gain, Osteoporosis, arthritis, chronic pain and even cancer.\nI also think it's a good idea to ask your local Bud Tender, what tincture did they see as their largest seller for back pain issues. They tend to know what they carry that works the best.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nI would reccomend a whole plant high CBD tincture. You can try various ratios of CBD and THC, depending on what best treats your pain and works for your lifestyle.\n\nandrewvanmd\n_____________________\nI agree with Dr. Vanderveer, a whole plant high CBD tincture is a good place to start..many of our members find very good inflammation and pain relief with just the high CBD tinctures. Since every one is different, if you don't get relief from just a high CBD tincture, try adding a small amount of THC tincture to the mix. Some people have found that this combination worked better for them. Tinctures provide very consistent dosing. Be willing to give yourself some time to experiment to find what works for you!!\n\nPiantaTinta","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6898-markdown","title":"Will transdermal patches for pain and inflammation interfear with warfarin?","slug":"will-transdermal-patches-for-pain-and-inflammation-interfear-with-warfarin","content":"\n_____________________\nDoctors that I have spoken with have expressed concerns about cannabis use and blood thinners. Our collective has a cannabis-friendly pharmacist as a consultant and is available to provide a phone consultation if you feel the need. Below is a case study published in PubMed that should give you pause before medicating while on warfarin. Good luck. \n\nDISCUSSION:\nMarijuana may increase warfarin anticoagulant effect by inhibiting its metabolism, and to a lesser extent, displacing warfarin from protein-binding sites. Other causes (eg, nonadherence) of the patient's increased INR were ruled out. Using the Horn Drug Interaction Probability Scale, our patient's warfarinmarijuana interaction appeared to be probable.\n\nCONCLUSIONS:\nTo our knowledge, there have been no other reported cases of warfarin-marijuana interaction. While more clinical reports would be useful to confirm this interaction, clinicians should be aware of its probability so as to manage patients appropriately.\n\ndneice\n_____________________\nCan the patches help me.

At our dispensary, we have found that patches work better for neurological pain, and not so much for skeletal, but that is just anecdotal. Patches are good for keeping the cannabinoids available to your system, but also consider other modes of administration, including tinctures and/or edibles. \nWe have a wide variety of patches available, CBD alone, 18-1 CBD to THC, Tetc.We have found our THCa product, Cannamin, works well, but it comes in pill form but as the benefit of not being psychoactive ( It is raw cannabis juice that has been dehydrated)  Again, you are going to have to find out what works best for you and I would consider including other modes of administration in your dosing protocol.\n\ndneice","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6878-markdown","title":"How do i get rid of pain  caused by inflammation?","slug":"how-do-i-get-rid-of-pain-caused-by-inflammation","content":"\n_____________________\nIf your pain is caused by inflammation then let's start by getting rid of that inflammation! There are many forms of cannabis that could help you out!\n\nTopicals are a great way to fight local inflammation and I use them on my back and wrists every week! I am still blown away by how well topicals work for relief from pain caused by inflammation.\n\nSmoking or vaping is another good way to fight inflammation, though I have found this less effective than topicals for my back and wrists.\n\nEdibles are another fantastic way to fight chronic inflammation and they are generally stronger and last longer than vaping or smoking. I kind of think it as a time release version of inhaled cannabis. I always caution new users to start very low with edibles. They can be very strong! \n\nMany find relief through tinctures as well. I am the least experienced with these so I can only comment in a limit capacity. I know that many find them effective and they are probably the best way to start with cannabis.\n\nryan\n_____________________\nI'm not a professional in this field, but I would recommend using CBD of some sort.

Capsules are possibly available in these ratios as well.  You many also consider treating the joint and inflammation directly with lotion or ointment and those are available at many dispensaries as well.  I produce a 300 mg THC pain cream with 10 mg CBD for Haze dispensary in San Jose.  Keep an eye out for anything made with the strain ACDC. Its plant genetics, if grown properly, will produce that ratio you are looking for, around a 20:1. Plants grown with this ratio of genetics do have a history of stopping tumor cells. Scientists in Israel have published data on this so, please take a look for yourself and review their research.\n\ncheridevine","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6657-markdown","title":"Can you recommend the best strain, for both AM and PM use, for pain caused by inflammation and arthritis?","slug":"can-you-recommend-the-best-strain-for-both-am-and-pm-use-for-pain-caused-by-inflammation-and-arthritis","content":"\n_____________________\nOur Harlequin organic CBD strain helps a lot of our patients with similar symptoms.

Vaporized cannabis could also provide immediate relief. This should help with your inflammation and might also be of use as a replacement for paxil (as CBD does provide relief from anxiety). You might also benefit from a vaginal suppository (foria or other product), as this will provide healing directly to the area that is needed most.
