I've read that THC is an anti-inflammatory, does that mean that I can't smoke either?\"\n_____________________\nSmoking can cause increased sputum production; it is recommended to stop smoking cannabis for several hours prior to the surgery. It’s very important that if a person is regularly using cannabis that they make sure they let the surgeon know, so the he/she is aware of all of the medications you’re taking, including cannabis. Smoked cannabis increases cough and sputum production, so it not a good idea to smoke prior to a surgery. Instead, choose a method other than smoking like tinctures, edibles or vaporizing, since vaporizing has 70% fewer irritants than smoking.  \n\ntatiananp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10357-markdown","title":"Are the effects of an edible the same as the effects of smoking marijuana?","slug":"are-the-effects-of-an-edible-the-same-as-the-effects-of-smoking-marijuana","content":"\"For example, will the effects of consuming 65mg of THC in an edible be the same as if I smoked a join with 65mg of THC?\"\n_____________________\nThe effects are different but this difference is also different for everyone.  In general, absorption of cannabinoids in the blood stream is much faster for an inhalation product than consuming my mouth/ PO.  The lungs are richly fed w/ blood through the pulmonary circulation;  absorption by mouth requires waiting till the item reaches the stomach and intestine.  In general,  it only takes minutes for pts to feel an effect from cannabis after inhalation;  for edibles this can vary from 30- 90+  minutes (also depending on how much food was in the stomach).  In addition, many pt's have told me that ingestion often brings about a more tactile experience but this is only one observation.  Most health professionals in the cannabis field would agree that the observed effects for edibles/ PO last longer (up to 6-8 hrs)  vs 1-2 hrs via the inhalation route.  However, these are purely based on pooled observational data & other clinicians probably can add to the list of observed differences between cannabis inhaled vs. PO/ by mouth. ;  more long term studies are required.  I hope this helps!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10308-markdown","title":"What is the best to use for a L3,4,5 S1 and SI joint injury?

I had 2 injections into the L5/S1 joint (nerve root block did nothing, facet joint injection helped. Then I had an S/I joint injection - numbing agent helped for one day.

CBD is a wonderful choice for theraputic relief of many medical issues, including pain. I do suggest adding some THC to the CBD given the extent of your injuries and your reported symptoms. Work with your dispensary to find a ratio of CBD: THC that meets your treatment goals.  Many patients have concerns that the THC will make them feel strange but your pharmacist can work with you to find a dosage that can balance the neurological effects of the THC (if any) with therapeutic pain relief. Many patients will use a low THC: high CBD product during the day and a high THC:low CBD product in the evenings and/or during sleep. There isn't a cookie cutter approach to management of pain so what works for one person may not work for another. I suggest keeping a log of all products and dosages you attempt for accurate tracking of what works and what doesn't. Take this log with you to the dispensary for an imformative discussion with your pharmacist. \n\nBest of luck! \n\njennifernp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9666-markdown","title":"I just bought two products for the first time and had a bad reaction.

Can you help?\"\n_____________________\nHi there, \n\nI'm sorry you had a bad reaction. That's never fun and can be hard to break through a bad experience with cannabis. I urge you not to give up because you will find the right fit for yourself. It just might take some trail and errors to find the right product for your relief. \n\nI personally do not know anything about \"rx oil caps\" and I don't know much about the sprays. However, for joint pain such as arthritis I would recommended doing a topical - putting it straight on where it hurts (Sweet Relief: https://getsweetreleaf.com) \n\nAlso, CBD tinctures or vapepens could be very helpful in body pains. This company makes a pen strictly for \"relief\" (http://hmbldt.com/pen-relief/) or a Kurvana cartridge \"Sunset tea\" - http://kurebotanicals.com/product/sunt/\n\nI hope you found this helpful and find some relief soon! \n- Nurit\n\nnurit","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9616-markdown","title":"What works for post-surgical pain?","slug":"what-works-for-post-surgical-pain-1","content":"\"Joint surgery with bone pins.

The only issue will be that any type of use except for topicals may show up in your urine if they test for THC. Depending on how frequently you would use it, and then stop, it can take up to 30 days for the THC to be undetected in your urine. If you use a patch that has plastic on the outside, the absorption can also become systemic and THC can still show up in your urine due to to the backing forcing all of the cannabis ointment into your system. \nA topical that is just rubbed onto the skin without any covering should not be systemically absorbed in quantities enough to appear in your urine.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7507-markdown","title":"I have the beginnings of spinal stenosis and arthritis in my hip joint.

Vaporizing can be very good for falling asleep.  Instead of counting how long of an inhalation makes me sleepy, I typically take manageable size hits until I am starting to feel sleepy and dose that way.\n\nseiboshen","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7269-markdown","title":"Terra edible Blueberry made me throw up 2 hrs and extreme vertigo","slug":"terra-edible-blueberry-made-me-throw-up-2-hrs-and-extreme-vertigo","content":"\"I'm new to cannabis. I had 1 Terra Espresso edible the first night and it was perfect. 2nd night tried 1 blueberry and in 1 1/2 hours It made me extremely sick. I vomited over 2 hours (like 12-15 times) and had extreme vertigo. Was sick til noon the next day.  Are the sprays and joints better than edibles? Scared to try again..... but really want to sleep at night and calm my restless legs\"\n_____________________\nEdibles can be pretty tricky until you are familiar with the effects.  You did the right thing by starting with a small dose.\n\nInteresting that you tolerated the espresso bean ok, but had trouble with the blueberry.  Do you have any food allergies that could account for the difference in effects, assuming cannabinoid levels were basically the same?\n\nIn any case, edibles can be tricky regardless of food allergy because your body processes the cannabis differently resulting in very different effects including dramatically delayed onset.  \n\nFor this reason I would recommend trying a different method of consumption.  Tinctures for example can be dropped under your tongue and held there for a minute or so to let it be absorbed through blood vessels in your mouth which is a must faster, more direct method than digesting an edible.  You may feel effects within 10-20 minutes with sublingual administration.\n\nSimilarly you could try a vape solution.  With vaping you can take very small puffs and the effects should be noticeable within about 10 minutes, so it's easy to go in very small increments and not have to wait over an hour to gauge effects like with edibles.\n\nUnderstandable that the unpleasant experience would make you apprehensive about trying again, but taking the wrong dose of nearly any medicine can cause adverse effects.  The important part is learning the right dose and method for your personal situation.\n\nBest wishes, hope you find something that works for you!\n\nbenson","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":12,"numPages":4,"currentPage":2,"id":5408,"name":"Joints","slug":"joints","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
