He writes: \"Any route of administration may be helpful, including vaporizing, oral/ingestible delivery, and topical application. Vaporizing is fast acting for a shorter duration (1-2 hours) whereas oral/ingestible medications have a longer period of time before onset (up to to 2 hours) and have a longer duration of action (up to 8 hours).\" See his full answer as well as another community member's response here: https://www.hellomd.com/answers/574d90a1b2f1d800080000ef/can-smoking-marijuana-help-with-phantom-limb-or-is-there-a-better-way-to-take-it\nAs well, check out the following article listing 6 marijuana strains for back pain--they include Headband, OG Kush, Skywalker OG and more.

Can I stop the pain meds and smoke pot without the withdrawl I read about stopping the vicoden? help\n\"\n_____________________\nI'm terribly sorry for your current situation.  Using med cann to help pt's wean off opiates &/or benzodiazepines has been done by myself and the other HelloMD MD's.  Usually a slow, gradual course is done.  For example, if you are using opiates on schedule tid/ thrice daily, then try exchanging one of the doses with only-cannabis products (with opiates on hand for \"breakthrough\" pain just in case).  Once you find the proper mg cannabis dosage, one can slowly move towards \"cannabis only\" days for analgesia &/or for anxiety/ PTSD mgmt, thereby freeing you from the potential psych dependency/ abuse risk seen with both opiates and benzodiazepines when both of these classes of meds are used day-in/ day-out.  To increase the likelihood of success, it is also imperative that you are performing CBT talk therapy or something related,  mindfulness/ meditation work daily, daily mild exercise, and also PT for a truly holistic multi-modal treatment program  for your anxiety/ PTSD/cervicalgia/ lumbago. Good Luck!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8742-markdown","title":"Tinctures that combat nausea from chemo - How do you decide on dosage?","slug":"tinctures-that-combat-nausea-from-chemo-how-do-you-decide-on-dosage","content":"\n_____________________\nWhen dosing any med cann products (i.e. vape-pen, tincture drops, etc) the dosing requirements will depend on a variety of factors including the pt's sex, height & weight, previous experience with cannabis, and level of nausea induced by the chemo-therapy agents.   In general, I share the concept of \"minimum effective dose/ concentration\" with cannabis. The idea is to slowly add more/ re-dose until the moment the nausea disappears.  For tinctures, a good place to start is the product label; most tinctures I've seen give general dosing guidelines based on weight etc (i.e. half dropper vs full dropper). Another wrinkle I add for nausea patients using tincture is to try dilution in hot non-caffeinated tea.  In this case, however, I tell patients to use a slightly larger-than-normal dose since the tincture drops are being diluted in a larger volume of hot soothing tea.  I hope these tips prove useful!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8741-markdown","title":"Can my HelloMD letter be used to get a CA ID in lieu of the doctor's section of form CDPH 9042?","slug":"can-my-hellomd-letter-be-used-to-get-a-ca-id-in-lieu-of-the-doctors-section-of-form-cdph-9042","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8740-markdown","title":"california id card","slug":"california-id-card","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8739-markdown","title":"Please send the name of the B12 supplement the doctor recommended...","slug":"please-send-the-name-of-the-b12-supplement-the-doctor-recommended","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8738-markdown","title":"Can you send me another copy?1890 Junction Blv Roseville ca 95747","slug":"can-you-send-me-another-copy-1890-junction-blv-roseville-ca-95747","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8737-markdown","title":"I have miss placed my recommendation and am not able to visit any dispensers ","slug":"i-have-miss-placed-my-recommendation-and-am-not-able-to-visit-any-dispensers","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8736-markdown","title":"cost to renew expired hello md card?","slug":"cost-to-renew-expired-hello-md-card","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8735-markdown","title":"How do I renew my card?","slug":"how-do-i-renew-my-card","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8734-markdown","title":"Migraines😢","slug":"migraines","content":"\"Is 20:1 tincture best for migraines?  I have been taking opioids for many years & am trying to wean off.  Is a tincture the quickest way to get relief from a migraine?\"\n_____________________\n@Perry Solomon, MD \n\ndjw\n_____________________\nVaping or smoking is the quickest way to deliver cannabis into your system. A tincture can take up to 30 minutes to take effect where as vaping/smoking will take minutes. One of our HelloMD doctors, Dr. Sharon Olson, suffers from migraines and recommends a topical cannabis salve for the neck and upper back as well as a 4:1 tincture of CBD:THC based on a study that found these to be effective in pain relief (see below). That said, our co-founder Pamela Hadfield finds a different medley of high CBD products have helped her wean herself off opioids to be migraine-free. You can read her story and advice here: https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5833c3741acf3d000ce08758/how-to-stop-migraines. Just be aware that everyone's biochemistry is unique, so you may need to experiment to find the right line-up of cannabis products to help you. I also suffer from migraines and have just started taking a 20:1 tincture daily as a preventative and am using a 1:1 tincture plus 3:1 vape pen for attacks. Hope this helps!\n\nlyp\n_____________________\nCannabis, in the right combinations, will manage migraine pain but if you want to treat the root cause I recommend Healing Yoga.  A series of 10 or less of the right poses (done regularly) will prevent hormonal migraines.  And one puff off an Arouse vape pen before practice helps you perfect those poses!\n\nJulie B., L.Ac\n_____________________\nI have suffered from migraines since I was about 5 years old so I was extremely excited to try cannabis  migraine relief. Unfortunately my experience was terrible because I was ill informed as to the type and dosage.\nFirst of all, I used an edible so the effects lasted a good 7 hours. Second, the strain I used made me very dizzy adding to the nausea that comes with my migraines.\n\n I still haven’t found the courage to try cannabis for migraines again, but when I do, I plan to only vape, no edibles until I ‘m very familiar with the strain and the dosage. Then I will only use a CBD heavy strain to try.\n\nStill, my go to cure has been Maxalt and 4 Advil. This has worked quite well for me...\n\nproper-molly-305\n_____________________\nwww.hempworx.com/brooksrenee\n\nloveyoubyexo\n_____________________\nDon't know much about tinctures but vaping for 10 minutes will remove all possibility of the coming migrain. Better than anything I've ever done.No more dark rooms and pain meds for the ENTIRE day!\n\nroseann\n_____________________\nThe best solution I've found for Migraines is combining whole plant, non-psychoactive cannabis, bacopa, and matcha green tea. They are all brain-based herbs to relieve inflammation and clear pathways in the brain. You can find them all online, and it is much more affordable and bioavailable than a CBD tincture. \n\n@NixduExtreme\n_____________________\nd\n\nBartSmart","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":84,"numPages":16,"currentPage":8,"id":5804,"name":"Sweetreleaf","slug":"sweetreleaf","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
