High CBDs and low THC? Thanks!","slug":"what-is-the-best-product-for-insomnia-that-doesnt-make-you-high-high-cbds-and-low-thc-thanks","content":"\n_____________________\nAs I say, everyone is different so you are going to have to figure out what dosing and mode of administration works for you. If it is psychological issues that keep you awake, stress and/or anxiety, a straight CBD/Low THC tincture might work but it doesn't work like a sleeping pill. Rather, over time the cannabinoids will increase your sense of well being leading to better sleep. If it is a physical problem, then High CBD/Low THC might not work. You can try what is called \"micro dosing\", using 5 mg or 10 mg of THC in edible form. Mixing this with cbd - perhaps getting 1:1 ratio bar that Kiva has may also help as CBD reduces the psychoactivity of THC. You can also build tolerance to THC through continued dosing so that you don't feel the high with THC as your body builds up tolerance. Finally, research is showing that it is the myrcene - a terpene in cannabis - that, when taking in high enough doses - is what cause people to get drowsy. Indica strains usually have a high percentage of this essential oil Hope this helps.\n\ndneice","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6874-markdown","title":"I have...anxiety induced OCD and depression and joint pain.

","slug":"i-have-anxiety-induced-ocd-and-depression-and-joint-pain-what-products-are-best","content":"\n_____________________\nEveryone reacts to cannabis differently so you will have to find the exact CBD/THC ratio that works for you. Depending on your comfort level with cannabis, you could start on a 1:1 ratio tincture. Also, if you are going to smoke or vape, finding the right strain is important. I would recommend a tincture for daily use and then finding a strain(s) that work best for whatever acute symptoms you are experiencing.\n\ndneice","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6862-markdown","title":"Hello I hope someone can answer a question for me. ","slug":"hello-i-hope-someone-can-answer-a-question-for-me","content":"\"I recently got diagnosed with cancer I work at a Indian Gaming Casino and they go by federal laws and do urine drug tests. I was wondering if I go to my cancer doctor and ask him to subscribe me Marinol the pill format of marijuana and it contains THC will it be ok for my job employment to not fire me. Since if its in a pill format it is both state and FDA approved. Please give me some opinions. I would like to keep my job and have the benefits of medical cannabis.\"\n_____________________\nI think that this is very hard to answer without conferring with your employer. As far as I am aware, there is no protection under California law from employers firing employees after drug testing, regardless of the doctors recommendation, or form of medication (pill or other).\n\nSince you work on an Indian Casino, I am assuming they don't follow California law, and instead have their own policy on that matter. One would assume that since they are doing drug testing, their policy would not allow THC. \n\nMy suggestion is to ask them for clarification of their policy before taking any form of THC medication. Perhaps if you discuss your intent to use Marinol, they may make an exception for you or change their blanket policy against THC (assuming there is one). \n\nIf you are worried about jeopardizing your employment by asking, perhaps have a non related party ask on your behalf, saying they know an employee who has this issue, but wants to remain anonymous. \n\nI hope this helps. Good luck with your treatment.\n\nmark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6837-markdown","title":"What is your dosage recommendation for Multiple Myeloma?","slug":"what-is-your-dosage-recommendation-for-multiple-myeloma","content":"\"My dad is on morphine for pain and is being treated with Velcade and Deratumamab. I know it's best to start slow with low dosage and higher CBD:THC ratio, but can you provide anything more specific?

Some people have no intention of changing what they are doing and you need to be okay with his wishes. The higher CBD should help with pain relief but it seems to take about 3 weeks to get maximum benefit from a High CBD/ Low THC.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6832-markdown","title":"How will Prop 64 affect my employment? ","slug":"how-will-prop-64-affect-my-employment","content":"\"If I test positive for THC at work, will my company be able to fire me, or does Prop 64 provide some protection?\"\n_____________________\nYes. Even though marijuana is recognized at a state level, Federal law will always overrule state law. Until marijuana is legalized federally, patients are given a recommendation not a prescription. Once federally legalized patients will be able to carry a prescription and the employers will not be able to terminate you for using illicit drugs\nMark Wagstaff RN\n\nmarkog\n_____________________\nUnfortunately, Proposition 64 falls short of other legalization legislation in this respect.  No, Proposition 64 does not provide you with employment protection if you test positive for THC at work.  \n\nIn fact, the text of Proposition 64 specifically states that it \"allow[s] public and private employers to enact and enforce workplace policies pertaining to marijuana.\"\n\nThis is one of many examples of the \"clean up\" bills that will likely be introduced after the election to ensure that Californian's personal liberties aren't limited solely based on for whom they work.\n\nsunshinel","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6799-markdown","title":"What is the difference between THC and CBD?","slug":"what-is-the-difference-between-thc-and-cbd","content":"\n_____________________\nTHC and CBD are both phytocannabinoids, that is, cannabinoids found in plants. Our bodies produce two, perhaps more, endo-cannabinoids. THC has certain medicinal properties and attaches directly to the same receptors as do our endogenous cannabinoids. CBD, as I understand it, does not attach directly to the receptors, but rather facilitates the uptake of cannabinoids already in the body. CBD and THC work well together, with CBD reducing the psychoactive effects of THC. CBD, unlike THC, is also found in the Hemp plant and is widely available. THC, of course, gets you high. CBD does not have the same effect on the body.\n\ndneice\n_____________________\nTHC and CBD have the same chemical composition but the atoms are just arranged just a little bit differently. In fact, there's a ring that opens and closes. If that ring is closed it's THC, if that ring is open it's CBD. And you can actually in a flask convert between one and the other with just a little bit of acid. And, you know, any organic chemist out there will know what I'm talking about.\r\nThe Cannabis plant itself is filled with a number of cannabinoids. The most well known of these cannabinoids is THC ( tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). The difference between the two is pretty straight forward: THC is made up of properties that give you psychoactive effects as well as the medical benefits, while CBD is mostly hailed for its  medicinal advantages without any psychoactivity. \r\nSo that CBD compound we've actually known about for longer than THC but it's only in the last few decades that we've begun to appreciate how useful it is both in helping to modulate the effects of THC and as a unique compound itself. It has antiseizure properties. It has pain relieving properties. It has anticancer properties. It blunts the worst effects of THC itself when it's coadministered. So people talk about dissociative effect with THC. People talk about a anxiogenic effect. When you put CBD in there it actually helps to mitigate those effects. And that's been shown in studies where they go out in the field and they test what types of marijuana people have and the ones that have CBD in them people report improved, less of those negative symptoms I've described. And that's also been seen in animal studies and on and on.\r\n\r\nSome groups have even called for just adding CBD into cancer chemotherapy regimens and these are cancer research groups. CBD has been also hailed as a treatment to prevent diabetic neuropathy which is the leading cause of blindness in the United States. It protects nerves. And this is all from a little compound, set of compounds that this cannabis plant naturally produces. Some strains have higher amounts of THC and low amounts of CBD. Some strains have low amounts THC and high amounts of CBD and some are in between somewhere. And that's all part of the genetic diversity and chemical diversity of cannabis.\"\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\ngreendoorwest","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6780-markdown","title":"What products have a 20:1 CBD to THC ratio?","slug":"what-products-have-a-20-1-cbd-to-thc-ratio","content":"\"looking for joint pain and inflammation products\"\n_____________________\nCheck out tinctures if you are looking for specific ratios, there are several brands that carry a variety of ratios. Capsules are possibly available in these ratios as well.  You many also consider treating the joint and inflammation directly with lotion or ointment and those are available at many dispensaries as well.  I produce a 300 mg THC pain cream with 10 mg CBD for Haze dispensary in San Jose.  Keep an eye out for anything made with the strain ACDC. Its plant genetics, if grown properly, will produce that ratio you are looking for, around a 20:1. Plants grown with this ratio of genetics do have a history of stopping tumor cells. Scientists in Israel have published data on this so, please take a look for yourself and review their research.\n\ncheridevine","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6763-markdown","title":"Can CBD be taken with Celexa?","slug":"can-cbd-be-taken-with-celexa","content":"\"A young autistic man with anxiety and depression who has had a tragedy in his life (death of his mother) is taking Celexa for depression.

I would suggest a whole plant preparation of CBD rich cannabis (with a small amount of THC).\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6719-markdown","title":"Using high level THC cartridge & feel nothing, switch to lower level THC & stuck on couch, why is that?","slug":"using-high-level-thc-cartridge-feel-nothing-switch-to-lower-level-thc-stuck-on-couch-why-is-that","content":"\n_____________________\nIn many cases, it isn't the level of the THC that affects how \"high\" you might feel, but the presence of certain terpenes. For example, if the strain you are vaping has a lot of Myrcene, the result is going to be a sleepy feeling; meanwhile if there is a lot of Pinene and Limonene, you are going to feel energetic and focused! As cannabis users become more informed, and research is more available, I predict that terpenes are going to be a much bigger part of the equation when selecting strains, rather than simply THC content.\n\ndrjulicrockett","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6694-markdown","title":"husband only wants to sleep and does not want to eat","slug":"husband-only-wants-to-sleep-and-does-not-want-to-eat","content":"\"My husband has a diffuse glioma (brain cancer) and wants to sleep all the time and does not want to eat--it is like he has lost his appetite.

Marinol? 500 milligrams is quite a large dose of THC if taken by itself. Cannabis and THC work much better when taken as a whole plant preparation. If he is taking marinol or synthetic THC (as a mono-drug therapy), I would stop that and I would start with a CBD rich whole plant cannabis extract in a sublingual tincture format, taken every six hours. Use a few drops under the tongue, and wait half an hour, and increase dose to achieve adequate relief. Experiment with different ratios and strains. Vaporization can provide more immediate relief. If you live in a state where cannabis is illegal (and yet synthetic THC is available), I would find a CBD whole plant extract (which should be available in every state) and take that along with a lower dose of the synthetic THC.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6681-markdown","title":"Stadol (butorphanol tartrate) pain Rx","slug":"stadol-butorphanol-tartrate-pain-rx","content":"\"Stadol a prescription Rx was a great migraine/pain killer.

I have tried smoking the top 3 strains recommend with a  vaporizer with ceramic, I've tried Vaping (3 different vendors), I've tried tinctures, edibles all without success. I am hoping a doctor or pharmacists might be familiar with Stadol able to point me in a direction. \"\n_____________________\nIf your chronic pain is actually migraines, you are extremely chemically sensitive and there is a whole article in this section on migraines that you should read. Migraines are inherited on an X-chromosome as an MAO-A snp. This means you must get rid of all neurological toxins from your diet. You might want to review this following information:\nPlease, consider eliminating all free glutamate's from your diet since they are neurologically toxic especially to people who have migraines or anxiety issues.\nConsider visiting www.truthinlabeling.org for more information.  \nPlease view: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL4SD5f2toQ\nI recommend that you get on the high-dose CBD, low THC in the tincture and take it regularly while eliminating neurologic toxins from your diet and environment. You are extremely allergic to cigarette smoke so be aware if you are smoking cigarettes you are causing your problems. If you're eating out a lot you are increasing your neurologic toxins. Do you want to be well or do you want to cover up the un-wellness with drugs? I certainly am not accustomed to comparing cannabis with prescription drugs. You don't have a drug deficiency in your body but you very likely do have cannabinoid deficiency and should respond extremely well to CBD.\nThe decision is yours because it is your life and your quality-of-life we're talking about. You could have your genetic chart done two know exactly how to get well but for many people that's just too much effort. If you want to get well, let's continue the dialogue.\nYou can know your genetics and set a program of wellness with Nutrigenomics. \nYou may also want to acquire Dr. Amy Yasko's book from Amazon, \"Feel Good, Nutrigenomics\" to show you why you want to pursue this route. Good luck, we may have lots of lifetimes but this is the one we know right now and it is worth living well.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6678-markdown","title":"Can you use the Synergy CBD 50mg THC 50mg Dew Drops ticture in a vape pen?","slug":"can-you-use-the-synergy-cbd-50mg-thc-50mg-dew-drops-ticture-in-a-vape-pen","content":"\n_____________________\nI would not recommend vaping anything other than what is made for your vape pen.
