Unfortunately, I've not been able to find any specifics regarding dosage and our prescribing doctor in NYC knows almost nothing beyond what's easily searchable on the interwebs.  I've seen/heard a number of people discuss a 60 grams/60 ML in 90 days protocol for whole plant extract (e.g. RSO and others) but that doesn't really provide insight into dosages.  The reason I'm asking is bc we are getting tinctures from the dispensary in NYC with varying ratios of THC:CBD and concentrations of each per ML and would like to get a sense for optimal MG dosage per day so we can employ our own cannabis program.  Currently my wife is taking 90 mg of CBD and ~50-70mg of THC a day but again, have almost no idea whether that's close to inline with where we want to be to help slow growth and ultimately kill cancer.  We're exploring some more established protocols that call for 60 grams in 90 days but they're extremely expensive and if we can understand dosage, we might be able to do it on our own more affordably.  Any thoughts/direction is most appreciated.  \"\n_____________________\nI wish I could be of more assistance.  Even in mice models where cannabinoids were shown to impede the growth of melanoma (in the 60% or so of mice with responsive CB1 and 2 receptors) the dosages were done in micrograms.  While we can extrapolate some doses in some drugs to what might be safe in a human, safe dosing is finalized under the auspices of a controlled phase 1 clinical trial.  As I am sure you have found in your research, that data does not exist.\n\nNP Joshua","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8010-markdown","title":"What's the best ratio of CBD to THC to deal with the symptoms of perimenopause?","slug":"whats-the-best-ratio-of-cbd-to-thc-to-deal-with-the-symptoms-of-perimenopause","content":"\"I have trouble sleeping, among other symptoms from hormonal changes brought on by perimenopause.\"\n_____________________\nThe answer would depend on some factors:  Are there any other medical issues or mental health issues in play? It sounds like you've had some experience w/ med cann products;  have you had any adverse reactions and if so, what were the products and the cannabinoid profiles of said products?   In the short blurb you've given, it sounds like sleep and some mood dysphoria are the biggest issues that you are dealing with.  For sleep, I recommend carefully dosed edibles with some THC and CBN (enough to help you feel \"heavy\" but not enough to cause mood swings or paranoia).  I tell pts to try a test dose of any edible first (like on a Friday or weekend where there's no work/ responsibilities the next day) and to only take a fraction of what is recommended as an adult dose (i.e. 1/2, or 1/3 of a full adult dose listed on the label of the edible product).  For daytime mood mgmt, you can try a vape-pen but keep the doses \"low and slow\";  another popular method w/ my pts is tincture drops diluted in hot non-caffeinated tea (for these a higher CBD: THC ratio has helped my pts, one can start w/ 2:1 or 3:1  CBD:THC and dilute the amount the tea you mix accordingly for safety.  As I tell many of my perimenopausal pts,  this is a difficult time that usually calls for a multi-modal approach (i.e. daily exercise, meditation/ mindfulness/ self-hypnosis,  nutritional supplements, etc).   I hope this helps!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7983-markdown","title":"Is there a safe dosage of THC and CBD in tincture form for toddlers suffering from cystic fibrosis?","slug":"is-there-a-safe-dosage-of-thc-and-cbd-in-tincture-form-for-toddlers-suffering-from-cystic-fibrosis","content":"\n_____________________\nCBD alone should be effective based on mechanisms of action and my clinical experience in asthma and copd.

You increase your dosage slowly every few days but it just sounds like you are not taking enough medication at this point. THC can oftentimes increase in anxiety so you do not want high levels of THC but when you want to go to sleep you may want to bring your THC up close to the same dosage of CBD's, or a 1:1 dose. \nYou can vaporize small puffs of a high CBD/low THC vape solution and that should start to take affect within10 to 15 minutes with the full effect to be expected in about 1 hour.\nIf you are doing edibles it requires that your digestion has to be perfect otherwise we don't even know that you're absorbing the medication but what you do absorb tends to be very effective but unpredictable and this is why very few drugs are given as edibles.\nThe oral sprays tend to be effective but I have no idea what dosage you are using.

I have copied/pasted a very thorough answer from Dr. Sank of HelloMD.\n   \n\"Short Answer:\n\nCannabis consumption in a systemic form such as smoking has been associated with heart palpitations and fast heart rhythms. Smoked cannabis should likely be avoided in your case for this reason. Some studies suggest the negative cardiovascular effects of smoked cannabis are related to THC. There has not been enough research on CBD extract products to determine if they are safe for those with atrial fibrillation. There have not been any studies associating localized forms of cannabis with harmful heart rhythms. It is likely safe, from a cardiovascular standpoint, to use topical cannabis infused patches, balms, salves, massage oils, etc. in limited quantities for localized pain control.\n\nYou should discuss your particular case closely with your cardiologist and cannabis-recommending physician before use.\n\nLong Answer:\n\nA growing number of case reports have demonstrated an association between smoked cannabis consumption and adverse cardiacvascular effects. This includes cardiac dysrythmia including atrial fibrillation and increased cardiac work, which can precipitate cardiac chest pain and even heart attacks. Smoked cannabis has also been associated with low blood pressure upon standing which can increase the risk of fainting. These effects are likely mediated by an effect in which THC triggers the sympathetic nervous system in intermittent users. Chronic users appear to develop tolerance to triggering of the sympathetic nervous system; however, they may suffer from microscopic damage to the arteries that supply the heart.\n\nInterestingly, a recent large case-control study from Denmark demonstrated that NSAID type medications (Ibuprofen/Advil and Naproxen/Aleve etc) are also associated with increased incidence of atrial fibrillation. This is in addition to prior literature that shows NSAIDs can aggravate hypertension. A series of two studies published in 2015 additionally show that opiates are likely associated with a higher risk of heart attack and atrial fibrillation. Unfortunately, there is no ideal option for chronic pain control in the setting of atrial fibrillation.\n\nReferences:\nKorantzopoulos P. Atrial fibrillation and Marijuana Smoking.

This is because the common fibrillation definition is irregular twitching, which is related to inflammation.  \n\nI found a general article where you can learn more about cannabis treatment and heart complications, along with causes.  I’m not a medical health practitioner, but there have been recent studies which may relate to your condition. \n\nCBD may be used to ease the symptoms of atrial fibrillation causes, such as blood pressure and anxiety.\n\nhttps://www.hellolift.com/health-wellness/5c64cc2aeb14100009da222b/is-cbd-good-for-your-heart\n\nCBD comes in your favorite variety of consumption methods such as tinctures, capsules, and even transdermal patches!\n\natkanesh","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7857-markdown","title":"I have Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) Syndrome.

Turmeric is an Ayurvedic solution for inflammation and detoxification.
