Recent lab profiles show about a 5:4 ratio of CBD to THC in this strain. With this ratio you would expect to receive the anti-inflammatory, pain relief and anti-spasmodic benefits of both the THC and CBD without much cognitive disturbance. \nHowever, if you are new to cannabis you may still \"feel\" a mental sensation as the medication takes effect. It is doubtful you would experience any \"psycho-stimulatory\" effects at this ratio.\n\ndrgerhart\n_____________________\nCanna-Tsu has a high-CBD, low-THC cannabinoid profile which gives it a relaxing, mellow body effect while maintaining mental clarity. A high-CBD strain will have a lot of the medicinal benefits you are looking for - anti-inflammatory, pain relief - while being very mildly psychoactive. Someone would choose this if they want the medicinal benefits, but don't want to feel high. You may also find relief by looking into high-CBD tinctures and edibles.\n\nandrea13","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10826-markdown","title":"I have a lot of chronic pain and have had multiple back surgeries.

I’m trying to find the right bud for my pain now and would like some input on this strain. \"\n_____________________\nIt is difficult to recommend specific strains as each person has a very individual reaction to each strain. Additionally, if you used concentrates or edibles of a specific strain the reaction may be different as well. \n\nOG Kush is a very popular strain that grows well in Southern California. It is considered a Hybrid, but its exact genetics are poorly described. Current lab profiles show a high THC content between 20-25% and a very low CBD content (less than 1%). It has several terpenes that exceed the CBD content and are pain relieving  (Linalool and Myrcene). Myrcene also sedates and reliefs muscle spasms.\n\nIt would be a reasonable choice for back pain relief. Note the concentration of THC and start with lower doses if you are new to cannabis.\n\ndrgerhart\n_____________________\nOG Kush is a high THC strain known to produce strong euphoric feelings. People report that the high comes on quickly and in a strong way. Some say it's like a burst of energy, other say it's like a wave calm. It's a predominantly indica strain, which should give you more of a body high and therefore should ease physical pain. However, it's likely best for night time or any time that you don't have much to do as many report it being a strong strain that makes them want to relax after smoking. It may also alleviate physical pain while you're falling asleep and help produce a restful slumber.\n\nandrea13\n_____________________\nMy approach to treating a condition such as yours is to separate out the acute pain your feel vs. the chronic condition (inflammation, chronic pain, and whatever direct issues triggered the surgeries). \n\nSmoking or vaping is good for immediate (acute) pain relief. The bio-availability is approx. 4-6 hours and you will hopefully feel some relief. You are getting about 3-5 mg. of THC via the mode of administration.  In my experience, you also should be on a tincture ( If you are smoking a lot then make it a high CBD) or edible product as well. The bio availability is longer and can work overtime and you are also consuming other cannabinoids (Delta 11 THC and, as mentioned, CBD). The edible, because it lasts longer, will also help you sleep better, allowing you to heal (I'm assuming your sleep is also disrupted because of the pain. \n\nTopicals can also work when applied directly to the injured area and don't have a psycho active effect. \n\nAlso, remember that a number of the effects of, say, OG Kush, come from the terpenes that are present (OG Kush has a high myrcene level, for example) in the bud. Best of luck and let us know if this information helps.\n\ndneice\n_____________________\nOG Kush is a great strain and there are some great answers here. I do not have much to add, but your back pain could also be helped by introducing a CBD strain, like ACDC, into the mix. A lot of back pain can be caused by inflammation, which will be helped by the CBD in the ACDC. I know a lot of users feel they need to inhale/ingest their cannabis, but do not discount topicals for your back!\n\nryan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10825-markdown","title":"IBS mixed type symptoms, GERD and cannabis management?","slug":"ibs-mixed-type-symptoms-gerd-and-cannabis-management","content":"\"I have GERD, as well as lifelong IBS mixed type symptoms, in addition to anxiety and depression. I had an emergency cholecystectomy due to rupture/infection 7 years ago, and my IBS type symptoms have increased, rather than decreased.

It is also effective in alleviating symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and crampy abdominal pain. Because cannabis may reduce GI motility, it may also be helpful for diarrhea.\n\nCannabis is also thought to be helpful for GERD, because there is evidence that cannabis decreases transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation.

One was 110mg (I believe) of CBD for my lower back pain and the other was a little stronger at 250 mg. The guy explained to me that it would help me with all of my symptoms (chronic lower back pain, insomnia, and anxiety). But after spending almost $100 on those, they aren't touching me at all. Now while I understand that I have to try different things to find out what works best for me, I also can't afford to keep \"testing\" products out. I don't have much money so I'm hoping i can find something within the first couple tries. Also, maybe I should have mentioned this to the dispensary, but my tolerance to meds in general is very high. I can take 1600 mg of Advil for my back pain before I start to feel the pain relief. So I'm starting to think now that maybe I have to apply that tolerance to marijuana as well? The guy at the dispensary was pretty adamant that I would notice a difference with the vape and that I would be able to sleep better, but honestly, it's not touching me. Any thoughts or recommendations on what I should do?\"\n_____________________\nTolerance is effected by many factors, including individual metabolism and frequency and duration of use. Rather than increasing your dose over time as your tolerance builds, it may be better to lower your tolerance by decreasing the dose and frequency of use.  Similarly, some patients take a \"drug holiday\" for several days or weeks to cleanse themselves of cannabis and \"reset\" their endocannabinoid receptors. \n\nEdibles, because they are longer acting, have to be taken less frequency than inhaled medicine and maintain cannabinoid levels at a more constant levels. This may help prevent the development of tolerance as compared to frequent, high-dose spikes of vaporized cannabis.\n\ndredmunds\n_____________________\nFor long term users, I advise patients to abstain from cannabis use for 48 hours then to resume at about 1/3 the dose they were using and titrate up to the effective dose. It sounds as if your case may be a little different.  I would recommend trying a tincture sublingually. You lose quite a bit of medicine to the atmosphere with inhalation and as Dr Edmunds stated, the effects are short lived. True edibles (cookies, etc) lose quite a bit of medicine to the digestive process and renders the cannabis to be more psychoactive. With tinctures (chocolates and lozenges act more like tincture in that they melt and stay in your mouth longer), the medicine is absorbed through the small capillaries in the oromucosa of the mouth and very little is \"lost\".  The drops are placed under the tongue and should be held there for 60 -90 secs before swallowing. It takes about 20 mins to observe the effects. So you have to titrate your dose by adding a drop or two every 20 mins or so until your pain is relieved - then add up the number of drops you've used and that's your dose for the next time. When used properly, the effect of tinctures can last 5-6 hrs. I would also suggest using a variety that has both THC and CBD. While they are individually good pain relievers, together they synergize each other's pain relieving effects. The CBD will mitigate the psychoactivity of THC. Also... acetaminophen potentiates the pain relieving effects of THC so try taking a dose at the same time you use the cannabis. A 1:1 THC:CBD strains that is particularly good for pain and very mentally relaxing is MediHaze. If too much psychoactivity, try a strain with a 1:2 ratio.\n\ndrfrye\n_____________________\nI'm sorry to hear that you're having a tough time with your back; is the pain causing your insomnia? \n\nHere's the thing; not all pain patients respond to CBD alone. You may need to have a more balanced product with some THC included to get a good response. I've worked with many, many pain patients who only get partial relief from CBD. Patients tend not to need much THC to get a lot of relief; even at lower doses it can make a big difference. I've found that small amounts of THC are especially helpful for nerve pain, so if you have sciatica or shooting pains down your legs, it's certainly worth trying.\n\nIt's important to remember to avoid Sativa sources of THC since it can make anxiety worse.\n\nIf THC during the day isn't an option, you may get relief from a topical. Topicals will not make you feel high, but they work very well for pain. Two of the best that I've tried are made by Daddy Bones, as well as Salvation made by a collective in California called WAMM.\n\nAnother possibility is that even though that vape has 250mg of CBD in it, how much are you getting with each puff? Are you absorbing it efficiently? It could be that the dose you are getting is too small to help you. Also, vaped cannabis usually provides relief for a few hours at a time; you might want to look into capsules or tinctures for longer lasting relief. \n\nThe Capsule Cooperative carries a variety of CBD capsules, but we also offer a 1:1 CBD/THC capsule that's great for pain. Try a week of 10/10 or 20/20 at night, and a 20mg CBD capsule during the day; you might find that upping your CBD dosage and including some THC works a lot better than vaping.\n\nI hear that high doses of NSAIDS aren't touching your pain, but tolerance there doesn't necessarily mean that you have a tolerance to cannabis. CBD works on similar pathways, but there's still enough of a difference that Motrin tolerance shouldn't translate over to CBD tolerance. When you find the right kind of cannabis, you may be pleasantly surprised by how little cannabis you need to make a big difference in your pain.\n\nartemiscrow\n_____________________\nI think the ideas from Dr.'s Frye and Edmunds are excellent as are the thoughts from @artemiscrow.   Since you've already purchased the 2 CBD vape cartridges, I might suggest that you keep both of them and when you've been able to save enough, buy a cartridge that predominantly THC (in low or medium dose) or tincture that is mainly THC.  To take advantage of the en\\tourage effect seen w/ co-administration of diff. cannabinoid combos like CBD and THC together, I would then suggest taking a puff of either CBD vaporizer and within minutes also administer a small dose of THC via vape or tincture so you effectively combine the effect of these two different cannabinoids.  \"Drug Holidays\"/ short term abstaining from med cann is also a good idea periodically imho.  I hope this helps!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10822-markdown","title":"I've been looking for an all CBD edible.

According to the company's reported chemical analysis, one brownie contains 50mg of CBD and 0mg of THC. CBD in general has been shown to be effective in the management of migraine headaches. Usually, the THC levels in CBD products are low enough that psychoactive / intoxicating effects won't be achieved. \n\nKeep in mind that edibles take much longer than inhaled medicine to reach peak concentrations in the blood plasma; you may want to use vaporized medicine at headache onset to prevent and/or blunt worsening symptoms. Always pay attention to the concentration of cannabis you are consuming in an edible and begin with the lowest dose to evaluate your response to the medicine.\n\ndredmunds","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10819-markdown","title":" Do fluctuating hormones effect my reaction to an edible?","slug":"do-fluctuating-hormones-effect-my-reaction-to-an-edible","content":"\"My reaction to a low dose edible (5mg)  seems to vary. Is this possibly due to hormones that change during the month? Sometimes it seems very strong and other times it feels just right.\nI use them to manage pain at night.\"\n_____________________\nCertainly, if you are a woman, anything can affect your hormones and in women the hormones fluctuate from day to day. We have many many hormones in the body, not just the sex hormones. If you are stressed, your beautiful hormone symphony is disrupted and the hormones will be funneled through a fight or flight pathway turning off somatomedian, causing you to age prematurely if you do not stop the stress. Somatostatin, the hormone that takes over when we are stressed, reduces your production of human growth hormone and can shrink your brain, your lungs, affect your heart, your GI tract, your adrenals, your thyroid, insulin, insulin resistance and you will lose motivation, have sleep disturbance, irritability and gain weight and one way to regain balance is to burn off the excess somatostatin by getting your heart rate above 100, or a very brisk walk.\nSo, try not to take on stress and learn to address stress appropriately, take care of the underlying cause and consider CBD edibles instead of THC edibles since the CBD does reduce inflammation that can result from the stress and helps you to stay calm but the THC is changed from delta 9 THC to delta 11 THC once the liver picks up the THC edible from the stomach, and it is twice as strong. That's okay if you just want to be high but it is not the most effective way to deal with stress.\nI would hope that using cannabis does not keep you in a situation that you might need to leave.\nYour hormones levels do fluctuate daily if you're female but it is a hormonal symphony. The hormones are timed to come in at the right time and edibles will not really affect that but stress can cause wild swings in the hormones.  Your reaction to the edible will be unique to you but may be different depending on the day of the month and how much stress you have acquired. Typically in the pre-menstrual phase women are more sensitive to chemicals and cravings. \nAre you peri-menopausal? Are you a new mom trying to adjust? Are you taking care of your nutrition, eating fresh, organic, raw greens every day (or blend them and drink them) for the B vitamins in their natural form?

He was mostly symptom free until December 2015 when he took an antibiotic for strep throat which led to a severe flare.  He was prescribed 60mg of prednisone and placed on Remicade infusions.  The infusions/pred made him feel awful, and he wasn't getting better.  The pain was terrible and he was taking oxycodone just to get through the day.

Additionally, I'm on SSI/Disability so my choice of PCP's taking \"New Patients\" is extremely limited.\"\n_____________________\nJust as  patient can discharge a physician, a physician can discharge a patient as well. There are some caveats to that however. Physicians can discharge patients from their medical practice for any\nlegitimate and non-discriminatory reason, and thus terminate the doctor-patient relationship. \n\nAccording to the Medical Board of California, in order to avoid allegations of patient abandonment (unprofessional conduct), a physician should notify patients of the following in writing when the physician wishes to discontinue care:\n\n1) The last day the physician will be available to render medical care, assuring the patient has been provided at least 15 days of emergency treatment and prescriptions before discontinuing the physician's availability.\n\n2) Alternative sources of medical care, i.e., refer patient to other physicians, by name, or to the local medical society's referral service.\n\n3) The information necessary to obtain the medical records compiled during the patient's care (whom to contact, how and where).\n\nThe reason that a physician uses to end their relationship are varied. Some of those that are appropriate and acceptable are:\n\nTreatment nonadherence—The patient does not or will not follow the treatment plan.\nFollow-up nonadherence—The patient repeatedly cancels follow-up visits or is a no-show.\nOffice policy nonadherence—The patient uses weekend on-call physicians or multiple healthcare practitioners to obtain refill prescriptions when office policy specifies a certain number of refills between visits.\nVerbal abuse—The patient or a family member is rude and uses improper language with office personnel, exhibits violent behavior, makes threats of physical harm, or uses anger to jeopardize the safety and well-being of office personnel with threats of violent actions.\nNonpayment—The patient owes a backlog of bills and has declined to work with the office to establish a payment plan.\n\nIf a patient is part of of Managed Care Plan the language in it may prevent the physician from discharging a patient.\n\nSince I am not a attorney, I cannot comment on the legality of your PCP's choice to discharge you. I can only comment as to their complete ignorance regarding cannabis and their close minded attitude.\n \n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nThe following is my opinion only as an experienced licensed provider for 45 years.\nI am sorry to hear of your grief but for every dark side there is a positive. This is likely a doctor you want to be away from if the doctor has that much judgement, it may be a blessing they forced you to leave. \nPatients must wake up to the fact that we have been sold to the insurance company as if it's legal for them to own humans. The insurance CEO now controls the way the doctor practices medicine. I personally had an insurance CEO call me up and forbid me to help people get well, he said my job was to drug people and that's all he would pay for because insurance is not to help people get well but to maintain their disease.\nThat being said, and getting well it's up to you and I don't think your doctor has helped you very much. You certainly want to know what your vitamin D level is because most people in chronic pain have a vitamin D deficiency or a drug addiction problem from pharmaceutical drugs. There are so many ways to help you get well but you must look for a doctor that will help you with this and it will require that you do some research and change what you're doing with your cannabis. If you took your CBD cannabis regularly you've very likely could be out of pain especially if you maintain a blood level of vitamin D (25-OH D) above 50 ng/mL for optimal health benefits and additional pain relief. Add topical CBD salve to your program and used should be able to go six hours without pain medicine. We are here to help you and you can be healthier so take this as an opportunity to work on improving health and prove the doctor was wrong by treating you in such a disrespected manner.\nThe doctor should be brave enough to stand up to the insurance company instead of refusing you. Start by loving your self and recognize that many of us are shedding our old pain body because it doesn't work anymore.\nI also recommend that you read Eckhart Tolle, \"The Power Of Now\"  and \"A New Earth\" to help you stay in present moment in order to resolve your stress & anxiety, both only contribute to your pain and let your spirit shine through so positive people will find him.
