I need help with dosing a high CBD tincture and a CBD only vape pen. ","slug":"migraines-i-need-help-with-dosing-a-high-cbd-tincture-and-a-cbd-only-vape-pen","content":"\"Migraine sufferer for over 20 years. 8 to 12 episodes per month.\"\n_____________________\nHello! CBD has helped migraine sufferers decrease the severity and frequency of headaches and associated symptoms. I would recommend to use high CBD in a vaporised form at the onset of symptoms. Whether it is an aura or neck pain or pain in the head, it's important to treat the symptoms right at the onset. Start with 1-2 puffs every 5 minutes. CBD can help prevent migraine as well. I recommend to use CBD in the tincture form 2.5mg (20:1 CBD:THC ratio) nightly. Hope this helps!\n\ndrjacquelynlew\n_____________________\nHello, \nThere  was a recent study which showed promising results; the most significant finding  was that cannabis drastically reduced the number of migraine headaches  from 10.4/month to 4.6/month\nFurther, a very recently performed clinical trial showed that those who  received a 200mg dose each day for three months, experienced  significantly less pain when they had a migraine, (independent of using cannabis at the time of the headache). \n I also receive positive input from patients regarding CBD's efficacy when treating migraine headaches. However, rather than CBD, the relevant research  centers around THC's role in migraine headache relief.\nThe understanding of migraine pathophysiology has evolved from the  belief that migraine headaches are a vascular disorder, to evidence that  better defines migraines as a neurogenic disorder associated with  secondary changes in brain perfusion.\n\nTHC and CBD have been shown to, independent of vasocontsriction (blood vessel  narrowing), reduce neuropathic pain. THC also increases cerebral  serotonin levels which leads to vasoconstriction (blood vessel  narrowing) - the same mechanism of action as the triptan medications, such as sumitriptan (Imitrex).\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\nHello, \nBecause of the extremely high frequency of your migraines, I would  recommend that you use a tincture with a higher concentration of THC.\nFor example:\n4:1  tincture which contains 8mg of CBD and 2mg of THC per dropper full. For  most people, 2mg of THC would only promote relaxation and a slight  boost in mood. If that is acceptable, I might recommend that you take one or two droppers, 2 to 4 times/day.  \n\nIf you want to avoid any psychoactive effects, I'd  recommend between a 15:1 to 25:1 tincture. If, for example, a 20:1  tincture contained 20mg of CBD and 1mg of THC per dropper full, I'd recommend  that you take 1 dropper full 2 to 4 times per day. \n\nBecause  migraines become much more difficult to treat as time passes by, I  think that you've made a great choice for treating an ongoing or  imminent migraine with a vape pen. \nHowever, I would recommend  that you consider using a pen with some THC. THC would be even more  vital in this setting because you need effective pain relief  mmediately. And since repeatable dosing is a high priority for you, I'd  recommend vaporizer pens from dosist which buzz after each dose is  delivered.\nFor those not averse to psychoactive effects I'd recommend\n http://dosist.com/pen-relief/ which is a 1CBD:8THC formula specifically designed to alleviate pain. \n\nFor something more mild, you might consider http://dosist.com/pen-calm/, which is a 8CBD:1THC formula.\n\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\nDosist doesn't offer anything will a higher CBD content.  However, Care By Design carries a 18CBD:1THC cartridge, which should not  produce psychoactive effects, so I would recommend this cartridge over  any pure CBD cartridge. \nhttps://www.cbd.org/products/cartridges/18-1-cartridge\n\nAnd  since the vaporizer pen should be used for active or imminent  headaches, I would recommend, like Dr. Lew mentioned, that you take one to two puffs every 5 minutes until you find adequate relief. If you are  using a formula with more THC than a 15CBD:1THC cartridge, you should  experiment with dosages at home, so that you can gauge your tolerance to THC.\nI hope this helps!\n\n\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11966-markdown","title":"Can this be used \"as is\" or do you need a pen or battery?","slug":"can-this-be-used-as-is-or-do-you-need-a-pen-or-battery","content":"\"I've only smoked and consumed edibles.

I use a vape pen for CBD, is this ok prior and post surgery?

Thoughts? and reccomendation if there is a type of CBD ratio that would be ok\"\n_____________________\nHello, \n\nThe simplest course of action would likely be switching to edibles, sprays, tinctures or oils for at least two weeks prior to surgery. Otherwise, the medical reason for using CBD would factor into the decision. Smoking nicotine only damages health and has also been shown to dramatically increase respiratory complications during and after surgery. Nicotine would also impede post-surgery wound healing. CBD, on the other hand, may be vital to the patient’s short term health, e.g. as an anticonvulsant. So a physician would weigh risks vs benefits in order to make an informed recommendation. \n\nThe amount of CBD used could also factor into the decision, as very high amounts may alter how your body metabolizes many agents used during general anesthesia, and can also reduce your body's ability to form blood clots.  For these reasons, and many more, you should always be forthright with your surgeon, and especially with your anesthesiologist. However, unless a very high amount of CBD is used, as previously mentioned, the main consideration would likely be the prevention of respiratory complications, both during and after surgery.\n\nIn order to evaluate your specific case properly, I advise that you consult with a physician. This information should not be taken as medical advice.\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11870-markdown","title":"are vape pens suposed to releas smoke when exaled.
