","slug":"is-it-safe-to-take-cbd-or-thc-with-ssri-and-snri","content":"\n_____________________\nHello and thank you for the great question. Both CBD and THC are safe to use with SSRIs and SNRIs.\n\nHowever, keep in mind that cannabis is best used at the lowest dose and frequency possible to address your depression. There is both scientific and a plethora of adecdotal evidence that heavy cannabis use can lead to the worsening of depression.\n\nIn one 2014 study, researchers found that the brain’s of chronic cannabis consumers became less sensitive to dopamine over time. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that promotes pleasure, reward, pain, and focus. Lack of dopamine is also implicated in some models of depression.\nhttp://www.pnas.org/content/111/30/E3149\n\nThe idea here is that less sensitivity to dopamine makes you apathetic and detached, two major symptoms of depression.\n\nOther animal research has found that THC in low doses boosts serotonin, but high doses of the cannabinoid had the opposite effect.\nhttp://www.jneurosci.org/content/27/43/11700\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8301-markdown","title":"Is plain old CBD useful for carpal tunnel, without the THC? I'd rather avoid the psychoactive experience.","slug":"is-plain-old-cbd-useful-for-carpal-tunnel-without-the-thc-id-rather-avoid-the-psychoactive-experience","content":"\n_____________________\nIn studies, CBD alone without any THC may not be effective for pain. It has been found that low, 4% THC decrease pain but increasing THC to 8% was found to increase pain. A good starting dose for pain might be 2.5mg CBD and 5mg THC.\n\ndregan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8295-markdown","title":"I want to use a topical cannabis product.

These products are highly unlikely to cause a failed drug test, as long as you don’t indulge in other, traceable ways such as smoking, edibles, or dabbing.\n\nThe exception to this are transdermal patches, which will allow THC to cross over into the bloodstream and cause a positive drug test, so avoid transdermals if you are concerned or need to get a job at a company that requires a negative test. \n\nTo be safe, it would be wise to reach out to the company who produces the topical you are considering using to ask them directly.\n\nnptherasse","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8266-markdown","title":"How much THC with CBD to ward off Cancer?","slug":"how-much-thc-with-cbd-to-ward-off-cancer","content":"\"My husband was diagnosed with stage 2b lung cancer. They removed his lower right lung and lymph nodes. Margins were clean and no cancer in the lymph node.

Should I add THC and if so how much? ","slug":"i-was-told-that-15mg-cbd-twice-a-day-is-standard-therapy-for-cysts-should-i-add-thc-and-if-so-how-much","content":"\n_____________________\nI am very surprised you would have been told that any dose of cannabis is 'standard therapy' since I do not believe any clinical trials have been conducted to determine any 'standard therapy' for cysts. There are many kinds of cysts that can form in the body so is the cyst in the thyroid, liver, kidney, ovary, muscle or where is the cyst located since that would give an indication as to the severity of the cyst. Cysts maybe present because of a parasite, an infection, a foreign body tissue reaction or even cancer and all of these would be treated differently. It is true that CBDs do tend to stop inflammation but you would not want to treat a cyst without knowing what kind of cyst it is and how it should be treated. I do agree with treating a cyst with CBD but please, do have the cyst diagnosed and at least listen to the doctor's recommendations, you can always 'sleep on it' and make your decision. \nWhen I had a large ovarian cyst that proved to be cancer, I was taking 100mg of CBD every night and it did keep the cancer from spreading but it did not stop the cyst from growing and it was huge when I had the cancer removed and the cancer cells appeared to be dying but we do not have the studies needed to prove that cannabis is enough and Western medical care is still recommended. I should live because of the combination care that I received and Cannabis was a vital part of my care and I am a strong cannabis believer but I would never have trusted cannabis alone to save my life with such an aggressive cancer. Please, be wise about your use of cannabis and do consider seeking a Western medical diagnosis with a doctor you trust.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8206-markdown","title":" What's the best dosing & ratio of CBD to THC to wean off of anxiety medications?","slug":"whats-the-best-dosing-ratio-of-cbd-to-thc-to-wean-off-of-anxiety-medications","content":"\"I'm currently on a low dose of the anxiety medication buspirone.\"\n_____________________\nHello! I would start with a high CBD/low THC ratio product such as a 20:1 (CBD:THC). This ratio is generally helpful for anxiety and causes minimal side effects. I would recommend you look into vaporized cannabis or cannabis sublingual tincture, using the minimal dose of 1-2 drops or puffs at the beginning. As always, it's best that you communicate with the provider that prescribed you the pharmaceutical to let them know you are planning to wean off the medication so that they can give you appropriate advice on how to do so safely.

You could also try the high CBD tinctures but you may not feel the full effect for up to a month and that is the only reason I recommend you start with a vapor solution because you want to know that the CBDs are working for you.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8065-markdown","title":"Many edibles state the THC level but not the CBD level.
