Every individual has a different tolerance to cannabis. It is always advised to start low and work your way up to a dosage where you begin to notice the effects. Then you can dial in the right amount for your personal situation. My guess is that you may want to increase your tincture dose in small increments and see if you notice a difference. I want to reiterate, that you should do this in small amounts to avoid taking too much and having an unpleasant experience.\n\nryan\n_____________________\nCBD tends to ameliorate the effect of THC, so taking such a high CBD/THC ratio is probably the reason it isn't working. Try a high TCH/low CBD ratio product. Or, find a product that has CBN in it, which is a degraded form of THC and what really puts you to sleep.\n\ndneice","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6656-markdown","title":" Which oil is best for back pain?

Sadly, there is still not an actual cure for cancer. I did, however, provide a link to an amazing video showing you how close we are to a cure!\n\nhttps://www.greenrushdaily.com/2016/04/04/cannabis-kills-cancer-cells/\n\ntonjakiva\n_____________________\nThis is a tricky question, as there are anecdotal reports of patients using high THC cannabis oil to stop cancerous tumor growth - but there are no scientific studies using human subjects that have proven its efficacy. From my understanding, the location and type of cancer you're addressing is incredibly important. \r\n\r\nSome patients have found effectiveness for certain types of cancer using rectal suppositories, while others vouch for sublingual application. A common dosage for treatment is 1 gram of oil per day taken in doses every couple of hours. At those amounts, this can very quickly become a prohibitively expensive treatment plan- especially considering that this treatment has not been proven effective for all patients. The best advice I can give is to do your own research, and connect with communities of cancer patients who are actively using cannabis. You may also want to seek the advice of an integrative oncologist, a doctor who uses conventional cancer treatments alongside more holistic, alternative methods like cannabis. \r\n\r\nHere are some resources to help you get started:\r\n\r\nThe National Cancer Institute's page on Cannabis: \r\nhttp://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/hp/cannabis-pdq \r\n\r\nA great introductory article on the Endocannabinoid System. This regulatory system in the body is the reason why cannabis is effective for cancer, glaucoma, epilepsy, Parkinson's, PTSD, anxiety, insomnia, and so many other conditions. It explains why cannabis promotes autophagy (cell death) of cancerous cells and leaves healthy cells alone: http://reset.me/story/beginners-guide-to-the-endocannabinoid-system/ \r\n\r\nI hope these help and wish you luck on your healing journey :)\n\nchristiestrong","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6582-markdown","title":"I was in terrible pain from a suspected AVM got the cbd vape oil, it worked wonders but now I can't sleep","slug":"i-was-in-terrible-pain-from-a-suspected-avm-got-the-cbd-vape-oil-it-worked-wonders-but-now-i-cant-sleep","content":"\"I have not used marijuana for recreational use for 30 some years.

When I was here last I got the low THC chocolate and I was tripping, not good. What can I take to sleep with the least amount of high? Is there a brand that is geared towards a happy high?

I find them very effective and I always keep a 1:1 CBD THC strain by my bedside. \n\nIf I were you I would experiment a little with both THC and CBD strains to see what works best with you. Find an Indica strain that is well known for sleep (like Skywalker OG or Platinum Cookies) and see how that works for you. If you are looking for less of a high then a CBD strain may help you as well. \n\nI have found two distinct differences for CBD vs THC for sleep (at least in my own case). If you have trouble falling asleep, then THC strains will sedate you and allow you to rest. If you have trouble winding down your mind, then CBD:THC strains will help you to relax allowing your mind reach a state where it can rest.\n\nryan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6571-markdown","title":"Can CBD oil be effective for autism in children, or violent behavior, and can it be prescribed in California?","slug":"can-cbd-oil-be-effective-for-autism-in-children-or-violent-behavior-and-can-it-be-prescribed-in-california","content":"\n_____________________\nYes cannabis oil has shown many benefits for autistic individuals.

After using it for a week, I developed a rash where ever skin met skin, i.e. under breasts, in panty area. I now have what appears to be rough rash across my cheeks and nose. I read the response you gave about adulterated oil and another gal's rash, I don't understand what you mean by the adulterated but I would rather know how long the rash will persist  as I have stopped taking the tincture. \nThank you, Lorra\"\n_____________________\nI am a little confused because you are using this CBD tincture topically instead of an oral administration so I do wonder if you're using the medication correctly. Usually the topical preparation of CBD is a salve, a balm or a lotion and the tincture would be an oral preparation. But overall, I might treat you differently then the recommendation you received.\nI seriously doubt that you are allergic to cannabis but you may be allergic to the way the cannabis was extracted and if it was not grown organically you could be reacting to other chemicals in the preparation. An oral preparation should have been tested for purity but topical products aren't always tested for purity, I can't speak directly about the product you used. \nWe have proof now that a high percentage of RA is actually due to vitamin D deficiency. If you have vitamin D deficiency you're much more likely to react negatively in your skin because vitamin D is necessary for healthy skin. Do you happen to know what your vitamin D level is? Vitamin D is the hormone, not a vitamin and it is essential to your long-term health. Vitamin D and CBD together (Not necessarily a at the same time) can make a huge impact on helping you attain a healthier state. You must make sure you have normal kidney function since vitamin D is cleared through the kidneys. I will send an article I wrote on vitamin D attached to this answer. You may want to purchase an A and D ointment to apply to the rash to help it heal. Most people think they can get enough vitamin D from the sun but they end up destroying their skin and looking old before they should and yet they are still vitamin D deficient. If hypertension, heart disease, autoimmune disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's and cancer run in your family then very likely you maybe missing the vitamin D receptor but that would be revealed in your genetic chart. If you would like further information on how to obtain your genetic chart please send a separate question because I can only answer here one time, you must generate a new question. So the take-home answer is, I don't think you're allergic to CBD and your skin should clear up but you very likely are deficient in vitamin D and by changing your CBD product you likely will not have any further problems but you also may want to get your vitamin D issue resolved first.\nAbout Vitamin D, it is an essential hormone not a vitamin:\n\nMost humans are Vitamin D deficient. Our ancestors lived outside all day, they did not wear clothes or sunscreen and they did not shower daily washing the oils off their skin and they ate a lot of fish when they did catch fish. Vitamin D is necessary to take calcium from your diet and put it into the bones and the tissue where it can be utilized properly. If you do not have an adequate blood level of vitamin D you will calcify tissue that should not be calcified and you're more likely to suffer leg cramps at night.\nVitamin D is necessary for the human body to function normally because in the human body it is a hormone not a vitamin and hormones are necessary to create new healthy cells.\nIf the vitamin D blood level is low in your body, it negatively affects many systems, such as your muscles and blood pressure. With low levels of Vitamin D you may experience thyroid disease, chronic pain with muscle & joint aching, kidney stones & even calcified heart valves, high blood pressure, depression, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, an increased risk of migraine headaches and even a significantly increased risk of breast cancer with a greater risk for metastatic disease and death. \nThe laboratory ‘normal’ for Vitamin D3 is 30-100 (30ng/mL is rickets level) but for optimum health the blood level must be 55-100. Do you want to be just ‘normal’ or would you like to go for optimum?\nThe kidney clearance function for Vitamin D must be monitored so the larger amounts of Vitamin D are not overwhelming the ability to clear any excess Vitamin D from the system and this is the level of the active form of Vitamin D. \nFor a healthy patient with normal kidney function and vitamin D deficiency, I recommend a large dose (called a bolus) of vitamin D3, approximately 40,000 international units to be given with food one time per week  plus 5000 International units of vitamin D3 per day, repeating the sequence for up to four weeks and then do a repeat blood level. For accuracy do not take your vitamin D right before the blood test and do not do the bolus the day before or the day of the blood test. You should notice a significant sense of well-being once your blood level of vitamin D3 is above 55 ng/mL but there is no benefit in going above 100 ng/mL.\nThe blood test is a '25-hydroxy Vitamin D' or abbreviated '25-OH D'\nThe test for kidney clearance of vitamin D is '1, 25-dihydroxy Vitamin D'\nThe tests look almost the same but the tests are quite different in their function.\nLocal laboratories charge up to $250 for the Vitamin D test and insurance rarely covers the test because it has to do with your health not an illness. You may obtain the same test from an online laboratory for about $45, you order the kit a local lab draws your blood for about $15 and it is shipped off to the online laboratory and the results come directly to you. \nSome people are born with genetic snps ( a genetic change in the base sequence of DNA= snp) and those people tend to show emotional distress, osteoporosis, diabetes and even cancer since Vitamin D deficiency may exist even while supplementing Vitamin D3.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nI too began using a CBD LOTION and broke out in rashes slowly over the 2 months I have used it.

Keep in mind that the higher the milligrams, the stronger the medicine.  Of course that also means it costs more.  I use a vaping pen seen on www.eurekavapor.com with the cartridges from www.goodlifecbd.com.  Depending on the laws where you live, you may not even need a prescription.   I'm in California where it is legal so I am able to purchase mine online.   I have been a chronic back pain sufferer since 1989.  I am tapering off my opiods and the cbd helps with that too.  I've not8ced that the more I vape, the better the pain relief, up to about 85%  Keep in mind that vaping is not your only option.   You could also take 2 gel capsules per day and be done.  You can't overdose on cbd, but some people do have reactions to it.  Luckily I don't.    Just make sure that the oil you buy is 100% natural.  I hope you try it and find some relief.

Because of your use of valium your brain is adjusted to it and it will take time for it to reset without the valium. This uncomfortable feeling will be unavoidable while you body detoxes and resets. During this time marijuana provides some relief and comfort. Cannabis will not totally relieve your discomfort but it helps. I used marijuana to get off Heroin and Methadone. The entire process took a good 6 months of no opiates until I started to feel normal. Edibles from 100 mg to 300 mg are what I recommend though I am not a doctor. Use an Indica or Hybrid strain over a Sativa as it promotes sleep better. There is no overdose on marijuana. If 300 mg is to much for you you will only sleep. Its what I did at age 56. At age 63 I am better than ever now thanks to marijuana.\n\neltone\n_____________________\nI would say no - the general consensus from both the cannabis community and medical researchers indicates that hemp-based CBD is much less effective as a medication than cannabis-based CBD. This is likely due to something know as the entourage effect, in which the presence of cannabinoids and terpenes found in cannabis are believed to positively impact the therapeutic efficacy of CBD even if they aren't present in large amounts. While those in the cannabis industry have seen this to be true anecdotally, medical researchers (especially from nations other than ours) are also seeing the implications of the entourage effects in formal studies.\n\njessicapeters","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11473-markdown","title":"The Right Dosage of CBD ?","slug":"the-right-dosage-of-cbd","content":"\"I recently had a consult to get my ID card and during the consult we talked about CBD spray or drops 2x a day.

Thanks\n\"\n_____________________\nCBD or cannabidiol works differently than THC. CBD increases our own natural cannabinoid levels (endocannabinoids), without actually binding to the CB1 or CB2 receptors. In conjunction with the other components in a cannabis whole plant extract, It seems to help stabilize many of our homeostatic functions. Basically CBD, THC and other compounds in cannabis work with our endocannabinoid system to help bring it back to equilibrium. Im sorry that I cannot comment directly on specific products. But I would start with a small dose, observe for results, and increase the dose until the desired results are achieved. There is no danger in taking very high doses of cannabis products. However, as with other plant derived extracts and concentrated products, quality and purity can vary significantly. Take caution and proceed with care.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11468-markdown","title":"Is there a concern in taking CBD oil if you have Hep C (The blood works says low activity )","slug":"is-there-a-concern-in-taking-cbd-oil-if-you-have-hep-c-the-blood-works-says-low-activity","content":"\n_____________________\nCannabis use among those with Hep C is higher than in the general population. This is likely because cannabis can help manage the harsh side effects of interferon and ribavirin therapy, which was previously commonplace for Hep C treatment. Newer antiviral regimens are available which can treat Hep C with more tolerable side effects. \n\nThere is no data to suggest that cannabis products help to treat Hep C itself. However, there is also no clear evidence that cannabis products harm those with Hep C disproportionately. A relatively recent study in 2014 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4144456/) found that cannabis use among those with Hep C did not alter outcomes substantially although a previous study did show that cannabis use was associated with higher fat accumulation in the liver among cannabis users with Hep C (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18242211).\n\nIf you are taking CBD oil or using other cannabis products, it is not likely affecting your Hep C treatment to a large extent. It is important to reiterate that there is no evidence that CBD oil can treat Hep C itself. Antiviral medication is the standard of care for treating Hep C. You should discuss your cannabis use and overall Hep C treatment plan with your hepatologist. Sharing this information with all of your physicians is critical since cannabis use can affect your eligibility for transplant in the future.\n\nsankmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11467-markdown","title":"Can tell me i there is any negative reaction between cbd oil and hepatitis C","slug":"can-tell-me-i-there-is-any-negative-reaction-between-cbd-oil-and-hepatitis-c","content":"\n_____________________\nI am not aware of the negative reaction between CBD oil and hepatitis C.
