What to try next?","slug":"not-feeling-effects-of-high-cbd-oil-what-to-try-next","content":"\"I started using Care By Design's 18:1 sublingual spray about 10 days ago, to ease my recurrent feelings of anxiety and stress. I'm taking the recommended dosage (1/2 sprays in the morning and afternoon), but I've also tried higher dosages in the last few days. So far I can't detect any noticeable change.\nIs it true that it might start kicking in after 2-3 weeks?\nIf I still don't feel it after another 10 days, what could I experiment with next? Should I look for a slightly higher THC content (e.g. Alta California Anxiety Relief or Care By Design's 8:1 spray), or something even higher (say 2:1)?\nI'm a bit confused because most sources say I should stay with high CBD for anxiety, but others point to the importance of the entourage effect. Herba Buena's Rock & Roll tincture is supposed to help with anxiety, but they only advertise the THC content.\nAlso not sure if I should stick with one product for a while, or I can try different ones on different days and compare short-term effects.\"\n_____________________\nHonestly, especially with anxiety cannabis is best used for it's entourage effect. Another important thing to remember with natural medicines and herbal medicine is that these are not purified compounds and therefore are likely to have more side effects.  In cannabis however, many of these side effects have medicinal value.  But it isn't always the value your looking for.  Because of this many have tried to go the CBD route.  It works but really not all that well.  It is much better to take a fuller blend at a much lower dose.  I have developed a product that uses the synergy of two plants. Ashwagandha is an Ayurvedic root that acts as an adaptogen. This makes it especially useful to cannabis as the activated cannabinoids help signal the brain where to focus the bodies healing abilities towards internal imbalances.  The abhwagandha the either helps decrease or helps increase the activity activated by the cannabis but it inhibits other effect that would generally be stimulated by the cannabis.  It is really a superb medicine.  Unfortunately, cannabis medicine is pretty complex, however, the good thing is that is has so many uses that normally doesn't even matter, since it will generally work.  I've just been working on getting it to work even better.\n\ne420bar\n_____________________\nHave you tried smoking or vaporizing cannabis to help with anxiety?\n\nI have heard about success stories with vaping and smoking to reduce anxiety but with strains high in CBD and low in THC. \n\nAC/DC is such a strain. Bloom Farms has an AC/DC cartridge that can be purchased at www.getsava.com\n\nYou can also purchase AC/DC flower and roll your own joints as well. \n\nBartSmart\n_____________________\nThe other answers don't seem to have ticked the box for what you need here. Bottom line you need to consume regular cannabis not CBD. CBD has NO effects on your mental state at all. Its just an anti inflammatory basically. A strain that is high in CBD however will work with the THC to give you a much more relaxed feeling overall.. That said.. if you're not in a legal state or not in a job where you can safely then you need to start considering some deeper issues you need to tackle friendo.  I wish you god speed in dealing with this issue as it's one I also have. I literally have been trying this CBD oil taken orally for 2 days now with literally zero relief so I don't stand behind it. Try actual cannabis. It will help. I promise.\n\nUnseenbow","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7519-markdown","title":"Does cannabis oil heal cancer?","slug":"does-cannabis-oil-heal-cancer","content":"\n_____________________\nNo. There have never been any studies or documentation that any type of cannabis can cure cancer in humans.

I'm tapering Cymbalta, Viibryd, Seroquel and Klonopin, 2% each, holding for 3 weeks between tapers.\r\n\r\nI'm having hell with my 2nd 2% over the 4 meds and am currently using cbd oil from Vape Bright and wax from RSHO blue label.\r\n\r\nIt helped for the first withdrawal round but now it's not working.\r\n\r\nI'm taking approximately 20mg/day between wax and oil vapes.\r\n\r\nAny ideas or suggestions? I'm going crazy.\r\n\r\nThanks\"\n_____________________\nWithdrawal from SSRI's can be really difficult and I'm sorry to hear you are going through such a tough time.  SSRI's like Cymbalta and Viibryd have been associated with some reports of suicidal ideation, so please please talk to your mental health support team if you feel like your safety is ever at risk.  Benzodiazepine (Klonopin) withdrawal can be serious as well, depending on how much you take and for how long, and can even be associated with seizures, so again it's really important to work with your care team to make the tapering as safe for you as possible.  It's good to hear that the CBD in your products is helping, which makes sense since CBD can calm anxiety and other withdrawal symptoms.  20 mg/day isn't a very high dose, so you could start by increasing your CBD dose.  Have you considered incorporating some THC into your cannabis regimen?  It could likely help with insomnia as well as nausea.\n\ndrbultman","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7498-markdown","title":"Can you use CBD or THC oil in a diffuser?","slug":"can-you-use-cbd-or-thc-oil-in-a-diffuser","content":"\n_____________________\nYou could put these oils in a diffuser, though a diffuser will mainly spread the smell of the oils around the room.

I've had the same question for a while and thanks to the Firefly AMA video I obtained some insight into the difference between vaping and smoking flower. During the process of converting flowers into oil, many active ingredients are lost. According to Sasha Robinson, flowers contain over 80 ingredients that interact with one another to provide the relief you describe. The oil in your vape pen contains only a few, and the ones that are missing might be the ones that benefit you the most. Personally, I wanted to switch to vaping from smoking flower because of the health consequences associated with inhaling smoke. I have found that vaping wax provides stronger relief than flowers and is a great alternative to a vape cartridge as I feel the wax has retained certain ingredients that are lost in the process of creating vape cartridges. Live Resin and Rosin are also forms of concentrates, like wax, however even more ingredients are retained in these forms and you may want to give them a try.

She is currently taking Remicade infusions and 10mg of Prednisone a day. I have started giving her CBD oil because nothing else seems to work for her. She has only been on this for 2 days and has developed diarrhea and stomach cramps (more than common). I started doing more research and read that CBD could alter the effects of the medication that she is on. the last thing I want to do is compromise her getting better, but I would love to find an alternative that works for her that does not have the scary side effects like Remicade and Prednisone. Can you offer suggestions on if and how I should proceed with treating her with CBD oil? We live in Texas so it is difficult to obtain but I am willing to take her anywhere to get her healthy. \"\n_____________________\nI am sorry to hear of your problems in treatment especially since I know you want to help your child. CBD does support her immune system from attacking her bones so there could be some conflict from the prednisone since prednisone is given to quiet down the immune system to reduce the symptoms although 10 mg of prednisone is a low dose. The concern of course is that her immune system is being suppressed and it can allow for overgrowth of fungus as well as other pathogens in the G.I. tract.\nYou might try treating her topically with cannabis salve at the broken bone sites as well as where the nerves go into the spine and you can even massage her abdomen.\nCBD may be absorbed through the oral mucosa but it is also important to know exactly what is in your CBD and how was it extracted? Since she has such a sensitive digestive system the type of oil and the extraction process is important since any chemical residue or oils can have an affect on her G.I. tract. If you can get CBD in an oral spray, that may be of benefit to her. Some of the newer super concentrate CBD extracts maybe better tolerated because it is micro dosing and it potentially is less likely to affect her G.I. tract because of the minute amount she would take.\nThis is a tough dilemma for you as a parent to see your child so sick and the medication is not working but CBD should work and it does have a low side effect potential and is known for stopping inflammatory disease so I would encourage you to be persistent, as you are, in looking for the solution.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7388-markdown","title":"Do you carry sublingual oil?","slug":"do-you-carry-sublingual-oil","content":"\n_____________________\nWe do carry sublingual oils in cbd and thc, by the brands of Pop naturals, MJ's Daily, and CBD alive.\n\nthemedwoman","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7383-markdown","title":"Is CBD oil good for insomnia?","slug":"is-cbd-oil-good-for-insomnia","content":"\n_____________________\nInsomnia is one of the most popular applications for medical cannabis, but like with other conditions there may be some trial and error to find the right formula.
