I stopped the oil and my sore throat went away. I really want to continue using CBD but want to find a solution to the throat irritation. Are there alternatives? Edibles, capsules?\"\n_____________________\n \nGlad to hear you found symptom relief with CBD oil. It’s too bad you experienced sore throat.\nTo answer your question, below are some alternatives:\n\n- Oral: pills, sublingual, sprays, and edibles (edibles can be difficult to dose). Oral formulations can last up to 5hrs. It can take pills and edibles 1 - 3hrs to work. The spray and sublingual route have an onset of 15-30mins.\n- Transdermal patches - onset of 20 mins, with a duration of 6-12hrs\n- Inhalation - smoking (has associated risks such as bronchitis), and vaping. Onset of 5-15 mins, with a duration of 2-3hrs\n- Topical - applied to painful, itchy areas\n\nLonah NP\n_____________________\n\nSore throat can be a symptom of local irritation, pharyngitis or laryngitis. The inhaled form , regardless of the method, results in vocal swelling and irritation of the local mucous. Some inhaled methods, such as a vaporizer, result in a lesser degree of laryngitis than others such as unfiltered joints.\n\nOil taken under a tongue should cause the irritation and soreness; however, sometimes it can be mild hypersensitivity of the area to the product. In your case you can try mix your oil with food and swallow it, or you can try pills with CBD. \n\nKrabell14","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABQAAAAPCAYAAADkmO9VAAAACXBIWXMAAAsSAAALEgHS3X78AAAEIElEQVQ4yx2R+U/TdxyH+xdMqVAo0BZaLQIylHEKVA6rE+VQSJVjglNU5HIIs2DqwKIgMU5GmHgrIMKcOECwcpSWQ6SozBkzM5dlZm6ZW7bMKFG2uWcf+Cav3755Ps/79ZLYx+4xZJ9kWKSjtYWTBdk0bNZjq97LaFUu0w1l/Gw5x69DrcxMdvHG0cVv1jZ+6rrCtfp62lqa6Wlvpbv9MqP9FiRzQKvdgdV2hy9aLnG2ZDudxVncO3uE8YZyvjlVzo8dNfxpa+b3sWs4ui5QXVFK4upYtmRm0tbWwY2OK/R0dDByawCJbfQu9vH7jN2e5sLpkxzOSeWztTqaEiI5lxrOQPlmhutLOXXYSEnRHtI2p6Nftw5dTBRZ23JovnKVnquddH95HVv/MJLheeDXTN1/zNHaGlao5eTrwjmTnURTbjK7N64jJTmR0PAwVsXFkLAhgRgBW/u+nqL9B7h4WQA7e+kWGbLYkFhHpuZPnnA8pLW1nXcD/AkLXs6amGiidVGseC+I0LAQVkaIhAcTFhZEeHgI6VtzKCyr4FKLAHbdEulncGAUSb/1DgPWSUbE2T29g+jj9Cg8PXBzc0HjrUS7RI2frw8B/lr8fDQEi8cMGZnsKi6l2Giiue06N3vt9PWNMmR1ILEMCuCwGMU+hWVgnPjVawRIg5dKhVKpmIerlJ54qzxRKeRERkeRkbNdZAe5+cUc+/w8F9t76O4bF4xHAiiolqEpevtvM3n/B3bmFeK0cAFyuTvSRVKkTguQSt/B1dWJoKBANhm2kLktl8SUNPKEpfl4IwfrGjh+qoUHj54huTnkoG/wLjet09gmHpMtfnaXOwvAImQiHu4ytFoVYRGhJKcZSBd265M3sj4phV1FpRysPUHZJ7XUNZ7nxctXAmh7gM3xPfbJJ1SYzDg7S1myWIOPViP68yIgwIc4fTwZ2R+Slv4Bq2LjiVi5kg1Jm8gvKWdvxSEKjZWcON3K7D9vxShTT/nKMkFT42kMSQm4uAgzmQteXt6oRXyXLhErhwpQHDpdDCHBIQQGBpKSamDPR0YKSk3kFhvpHRxl7pNcuHyDo+ZaqvaXsTs9FbW3ioVOC8XJMjw9FXh7q4XpYrG0L/7+fvj5+YqlQ0SXGWzNLWDrzkI+rjzK8z/+Eob/IjlW+ynmAyaM+XmYy0pIjI9B6uwkTKW4ymQoFEqxslKsrkSjVrPUR8vy5StEj6kkG7JISDYwMjnNW2H3enYWSc2hOmpMlZiKC6kWQHPZPjI3bcRDLhOmC+ZN5a5ysbobCg8PlAoFvn7LiNTFERurx1xVw8jYQ54+f8XMGwGsMh3hiABW7iudB1YbjdRVVJCfbiAkYBnurs7IXJxxm6vAQ45WrSE2ahV52Tu4eKaZmb//49vvfuHJsxe8fD3L/yi5vAMScPD0AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC","aspectRatio":1.36986301369863,"src":"/static/d026e25370e7e586f6343f7d06b3ff66/97f33/0beff56b4f4b9d34d59a48ef8e15bc82.png","srcSet":"/static/d026e25370e7e586f6343f7d06b3ff66/69585/0beff56b4f4b9d34d59a48ef8e15bc82.png 200w,\n/static/d026e25370e7e586f6343f7d06b3ff66/497c6/0beff56b4f4b9d34d59a48ef8e15bc82.png 400w,\n/static/d026e25370e7e586f6343f7d06b3ff66/97f33/0beff56b4f4b9d34d59a48ef8e15bc82.png 483w","srcWebp":"/static/d026e25370e7e586f6343f7d06b3ff66/e4e06/0beff56b4f4b9d34d59a48ef8e15bc82.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/d026e25370e7e586f6343f7d06b3ff66/61e93/0beff56b4f4b9d34d59a48ef8e15bc82.webp 200w,\n/static/d026e25370e7e586f6343f7d06b3ff66/1f5c5/0beff56b4f4b9d34d59a48ef8e15bc82.webp 400w,\n/static/d026e25370e7e586f6343f7d06b3ff66/e4e06/0beff56b4f4b9d34d59a48ef8e15bc82.webp 483w","sizes":"(max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Question_12338-markdown","title":"Best CBD product for stress and anxiety?","slug":"best-cbd-product-for-stress-and-anxiety","content":"\"@\"\n_____________________\n \nHi there! \nRestoring  activity in serotonin  pathways—by increasing the serotonin available  to bind the 5-HT1A receptor in the brain—is how SSRIs  (Selective   Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) are thought to alleviate anxiety and    depression.

Instead of doing that, is there a suggested tincture to help w/ relief?  If so, what ratio is recommended?\"\n_____________________\nHi there, The short answer to your Q is that yes, cannabis can help reduce stress and promote relaxation, and what research there is that's available now calls out cannabis as a safer alternative than alcohol. See our article linked below. Re: what ratio of a sublingual tincture to consume--that really depends. Every person has a unique biochemistry and endocannabinoid system so what works for one person won't necessarily work for another. Experimenting with various ratios is part and parcel of figuring out what works best for you. For example, I have a few sublingual tinctures I use for different reasons--a high CBD one (18:1) as a daily preventative for migraines, a 1:1 CBD:THC when I'm having migraine attacks (which I use in conjunction w/ a 1:2 vape pen) and a 3:1 CBD:THC tincture I use from time to time. In terms of relaxation, I find a 2.5 mg Kiva petra mint at night to be helpful. Whatever you decide, you'll want to start low and go slow, especially if your tincture is a THC dominant product. \n\nlyp\n_____________________\nAlcohol can have \"stress relieving\" effects, but those effects come at a well known cost.  Cannabis has a much better toxicity profile, essentially none (although taking too much can be temporarily unpleasant), and can reliably produce stress relieving effects.  I highly recommend learning to use it that way as an alternative to alcohol.  The cannabinoid ratio is clearly important in producing the character of the effects, but other important bioactive compounds, like essential oils, also contribute.  This is sometimes termed the \"entourage effect,\" and may explain why some people find whole plant preparations superior to extracts.  Balancing THC with CBD is very important to prevent overstimulation, but beyond that advice it is very much a matter of cautious experimentation to find a preparation that suits the individual.  And it is useful to remember that combining cannabis and alcohol can produce additive sedation or other undesirable effects, so should be avoided or done with extra caution.  \n\ndrelkind","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8646-markdown","title":"Which tincture works best for anxiety and stress relief?","slug":"which-tincture-works-best-for-anxiety-and-stress-relief","content":"\"Reading the benefits of the tinctures for anxiety, stress & excess relief I find something in each I could benefit from.

How much should I take to get relief but still be functional during the day?\"\n_____________________\nI take CBD multiple times a day to prevent my migraines. As a side effect I have noticed a marked decrease in anxiety and a more relaxed state of being. This tracks with new research on CBD. CBD comes in many different forms. You can take a tincture, a capsule, edibles or vape for instance. It really depends on what form works best for you. I like sub lingual tincture and vape cartridges. Dosage is personal but as long as you stay at a 4:1 ratio of CBD to THC in say a tincture, and titrate dosing throughout the day, you should not get high and should be fully functional. Try it on a weekend to make sure. I am not a doctor and this represents my experience only. I hope this helps!

It's  like my stomach swells up like a balloon and feels like it's gonna pop. I'm feeling the pressure in my chest now too. I usually use the vape pens, and I make my own cannabis infused coconut oil, that I use to make edibles. The swelling is less with those. When, or IF, I try to smoke any flowers, I don't do a lot.. but I wonder why I'm having this reaction to it. Anyone know what could be going on? \n\n\"\n_____________________\nIt sounds as if you are having some of the cannabis smoke entering your stomach, in essence \"swallowing\" the smoke. This may result is some burping as you release it. With the other methods you spoke of, the amount of smoke that enters your stomach may be less. Other then that I cannot think of a reason why that stomach bloating would occur.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nI have similar symptoms that you described and there are possibilities -- that do not include \"swallowing smoke\", especially since you said it also happens more mildly with edibles.  Consider that it might be a mild form of Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome.  Its seldom documented medically unless patients present at ER with non-stop vomiting that is oddly only relieved by hot showers. Like you, the only symptoms I have are extreme bloating. If I stop smoking, within about 24-48 hours the bloating subsides and I look and feel as though I lost 30 lbs.\n\nvch881\n_____________________\nI have the same issue as vch881. I have trouble with marijuana and I am trying to reduce consumption. When I smoke daily, I end up with a bloated feeling in my stomach a sort of swolen throat feeling. It is not painful but there is a constant feeling like there's something stuck in my throat and I need to swallow. I also feel the need to drink a lot of water when I am smoking marijuana so that contributed to the bloated stomach. If I stop consuming marijuana for a day or two it all subsides and my stomach and throat feel fine again. This is just a personal anecdote from my experience with marijuana over the years. \n\nRedwhite85","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7548-markdown","title":"What is best product for stress ","slug":"what-is-best-product-for-stress","content":"\n_____________________\nHi there!

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.

This was probably caused from high stress levels, and enhanced by high THC and Cannabis usage (I used to smoke very high potent Cannabis for many (5+) years in Canada, then for 3 years in the Netherlands). The doctors in Europe told me I was dependent on Cannabis, and the doctors in Canada told me that my psychosis was probably drug induced. My episode of psychosis lasted about 2 months as well.\n\nI ended up having an accident which broke both my wrists, and head injuries as well (I had a La Forte II fracture), possibly from being hit by a car, or falling off a balcony. I have social anxiety as well. I have been prescribed Haloperidol for the last 2.5 years. I have been successfully discharged from an Early Psychosis Intervention program. My current mental health team has told me to lower the medication, continuing until I am completely free from the Haloperidol because I have been stable since my accident. I have also had some unfortunate minor issues with side effects from the Haloperidol, such as sometimes I have a lip twitch, and make a pouting face occasionally. \n\nI have done some research on CBD, and I am wondering if CBD is safe and could be something that I could take once I am free from haloperidol, to maintain stability and make sure I don't relapse one day and have another episode of psychosis? \n\nHope to get a reply, thank you for your time.\"\n_____________________\nTHC has been shown to exacerbate psychotic like symptoms, however CBD has been shown to do the opposite. Researchers have even been looking into it as a medication for schizophrenia and other illnesses where the patient experiences psychosis. I have written about this here: https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cbd-an-alternative-to-anti-psychotic-medicine\r\n\r\n\n\nryan\n_____________________\nCBD can be used as an effective way of managing psychosis. Research shows CBD increases the body's own production of anandamide, an endocannabinoid, which is said to have inverse properties of psychosis. Research also shows that anandamide may fight off psychotic breaks completely. Thus, CBD should be a resolution to this problem. However, I do not recommend testing out CBD until the Haloperidol is completely out of your system. This can take up to two months after stopping the doses. It is also good to keep in mind that THC has been noted to interfere with psychiatric medications, however, that is not the case with pure CBD. I would make sure to look for pure CBD products such as CBD tinctures and oils.\n\npetergdw\n_____________________\nA whole plant preparation of CBD rich cannabis would likely be helpful to minimize the possibility of psychosis. Make sure that the other cannabinoids and compunds are found in the preparation, as whole plant preparations are far superior to isolated cannabinoids. Start with a small dose (5-20 milligrams of CBD and 1-5 mg of THC) and observe for results, increase the dose as needed. THC in isolation, or in extrememly high, unbalanced ratios may tip off an episode of mania. Many people also report racing thoughts with a very strong sativa. CBD actually helps to decrease this effect. The bio-chemistry of the endocannabinoid system seems rather complicated, and the best advice I can give is to start with a small dose of a whole plant preparation that has a well balanced ratio of cannabinoids. Observe for results and increase the dose as needed.\n\nandrewvanmd\n_____________________\nHow to sensibly buy LEGAL cbd oil online?
