I believe the testosterone is breaking me out, but I really do not want to quit (it helps with a number of issues) and I don't want to go back on the pill to regulate my hormones. Suggestions?\"\n_____________________\nAcne is a very common and frustrating skin condition for young adults and usually improves for most individuals between age 20-30. There are several physiologic processes that lead to acne including the way your body makes skin cells, produces protective oils, fights bacteria in your skin, and responds to skin irritants. A dysregulation in any of those processes can worsen acne. Hormonal changes that occur normally with age, menstrual cycles, or with stress can also affect those processes and worsen acne too.\n\nThe treatment of acne depends on the severity and whether or not you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant. The four main medications are salicylic acid, topical retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and topical antibiotics. Severe acne is treated with oral forms of these medications which carry significant risks and should be discussed with your doctor. \n\nMedications that regulate your hormones can also be used to treat acne if the methods above have not been effective. These medications include low dose oral estrogen/progesterone (also known as birth control or oral contraceptives) and spironolactone. Spironolactone essentially lowers effective testosterone levels but can also affect your blood pressure and electrolyte levels so needs to be monitored with blood tests at least once per year.\n\nFinally, there are very few studies suggesting that cannabis products may be helpful for the treatment of acne. Smoked cannabis is similar to tobacco smoke in terms of particulate matter and hydrocarbons, which are known to irritate skin. There are very preliminary studies, such as the one referenced below, that suggest topical cannabinoid (CBD) products may help with acne because of their anti-inflammatory effect; however, the topical products on the market are often oil-based since THC/CBD are fat soluble molecules. Oil-based products are great for eczema but tend to make acne worse. \n\nIn summary, there are no studies showing that cannabis-infused topicals are effective in treating acne and have more potential for harm than good based on the other substances that cannabis topicals often contain. My suggestion would be to discontinue daily smoked cannabis and use a vaporizer instead if you must consume that frequently. Most importantly, talk to your primary care doctor or dermatologist about the numerous safe and effective options that are already available on the market summarized above.\n\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25061872\n\nsankmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6999-markdown","title":"Is it OK to smoke bowls of weed with wax on top out of a regular bong?","slug":"is-it-ok-to-smoke-bowls-of-weed-with-wax-on-top-out-of-a-regular-bong","content":"\n_____________________\n\nIt is ok, though in my opinion that is quite a waste of your wax! In a pinch this will work, but you are just giving yourself a mildly concentrated bowl. You would be far better off vaping the wax in a dual coil or ceramic vaporizer (if you don't have a concentrate piece of course) and keeping the flowers to use separately.\n\nThe proper way to go about smoking wax on flower is to first make sure you have a reasonable sized diameter bowl for your pipe (this is not really going to work with a one-hitter). You will want to fill it and pack it down. Then, place the wax on top of the flower, ensuring that you spread it across the flower as uniformly and as thinly as you can. \n\nYou want to do this so a glob of wax does not fall right through into your pipe. Now, hold the lighter close without touching the wax. Let the wax melt into the flower, taking care that it does not start to boil/vaporize. Once the wax has spread throughout the flowers, start with a \"corner\" of the bowl and let things burn slowly (they will now that your flower is glazed in wax). Voila! \n\nYou can now smoke your wax on the flower without burning off too much of it or letting it drip through the flower into the pipe. Still, a bit of a waste in my opinion, but I know those who enjoy it.\n\nRyan\n_____________________\n\nYes! You can put wax or oil on top of cannabis flowers and smoke it using a bowl, however, i would recommend vaporizing wax if at all possible. You would want to vaporize the wax because it is far more efficient as you may be wasting some of the wax by burning it off. \n\nCombustion of flowers occurs at approximately 450°F- while wax combusts at approximately 320°F so you would be burning some of the wax off before the flowers begin to burn.\n\nHave you tried the VapeXhale? This vaporizing machine works well for both wax and flowers: https://www.xhl3.com/collections/aromatherapy-kits (edited)\n\nBartSmart","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/png;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.36986301369863,"src":"/static/65bdadc5a12c722a58235911d7a453f8/1ea00/0fd8a8df37c9df9fecd058229cfa9494.png","srcSet":"/static/65bdadc5a12c722a58235911d7a453f8/69585/0fd8a8df37c9df9fecd058229cfa9494.png 200w,\n/static/65bdadc5a12c722a58235911d7a453f8/497c6/0fd8a8df37c9df9fecd058229cfa9494.png 400w,\n/static/65bdadc5a12c722a58235911d7a453f8/1ea00/0fd8a8df37c9df9fecd058229cfa9494.png 529w","srcWebp":"/static/65bdadc5a12c722a58235911d7a453f8/116fa/0fd8a8df37c9df9fecd058229cfa9494.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/65bdadc5a12c722a58235911d7a453f8/61e93/0fd8a8df37c9df9fecd058229cfa9494.webp 200w,\n/static/65bdadc5a12c722a58235911d7a453f8/1f5c5/0fd8a8df37c9df9fecd058229cfa9494.webp 400w,\n/static/65bdadc5a12c722a58235911d7a453f8/116fa/0fd8a8df37c9df9fecd058229cfa9494.webp 529w","sizes":"(max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6937-markdown","title":"Pain Mgmt - Weeds, Oil and THC with no response/reaction","slug":"pain-mgmt-weeds-oil-and-thc-with-no-response-reaction","content":"\"I am still in pursuit of finding relief for my severe (hydrocodone doesn't kill the pain) neck pain. For some reason I am not responding to anything I have smoke with a ceramic vaporizer or with any of the vape pens from W vapes, Bhang and Jetty. And yes I have tried the top strains for pain mgmt and have not gotten any relief. I even tried Girl Scouts and some other various strains with various THC strengths and I don't respond not even with a slight buzz. My friends think it's from being on such strong Rx's for so long. It has been recommended I try oil. There seems to be lots of different schools of thought on it. Especially the RSO since it's hemp vs cannabis and the different  cannabinoids. After having spent so much money on trying so many different strains I can't afford to play the guessing game with the oils especially after trying various weed strains and getting no relief or even a buzz from those with THC in them. I have researched oils and even looked at menus in an effort to learn more but it seems focused on making your own oil than what oils are out there and what the options are and results. Even with the RSO all about making your own and then you have the hemp vs cannabinoid issue of effectiveness. I've gotten very frustrated and spent close to $500 in all these various experiments so I am seeking guidance/advice. \"\n_____________________\nThc is absorbed through the body so much differently than prescription medication that I don't think that's going to be your problem. My aunt who has been on everything from morphine to Oxy for her health issues reacted veryyy well with a relatively low dose of an edible. Your issue is most likely dosing. I take cannabis to manage pain from a bulging disc in my neck that's running a nerve and it does so well for nerve pain, but you have to make sure to take enough. I find smoking the easiest way to dose... because if you aren't getting your relief quickly, you can always go back outside and smoke a few more drags and see how you feel then. If You smoke enough of a solid thc rich strain, you will literally be in deep sleep within half an hour! Unless for whatever reason your body doesn't metabolize thc.. and that's rare. That being said, make sure you're using good meds, take your time in finding your dose, and keep trying until you do so!\n\ncannabear","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6906-markdown","title":"Does weed not mix well with other prescription drugs?","slug":"does-weed-not-mix-well-with-other-prescription-drugs","content":"\n_____________________\nCannabis is a very safe herb, used for thousands of years as food, medicine, fuel, fiber and other things.

","slug":"would-like-to-know-the-best-type-of-weed-for-depression-anxiety","content":"\n_____________________\nIn discussing mood disorders, I like to separate the discussion into two parts: symptom relief and alleviation of the possible underlying cannabinoid deficiency that may be contributing to your depression and anxiety. \n\nFor immediate symptom relief of depression, the sativa and sativa dominant strains such as Jack Herer, Blue Dream, Green Crack, and a host of others work. However, if you also have anxiety, Sativa's have been known to increase this felt sense. For anxiety, strains like Grand Daddy Purps, among others seem to work. You will have to find the strains that work for you and one may work better at one time and another may work better at another. The terpenes in cannabis also contribute to your sense of well being and I would investigate aromatheraphy as a less expensive and perhaps more effective way to get the terprenes into your system than smoking weed. \n\nTo alleviate the chronic condition of depression and anxiety, I would suggest taking a high CBD/low THC tincture to start 2-3x a day, but base your dosage on the recommendation of whatever brand of product you purchase. We have found that CBD patches and different ratio patches 18:1 or 4:1 patches work as well. These modes of administration allow for consistent bio availability and thus allow your body to work full time on helping you get better (Contrasted with smoking, which only gives your body 3-6 hours of bioavailability). We have seen a lifting of mood within a day or two, but sometimes longer.\n\nOn another note, moderate exercise, meditation, and watching what you eat (start taking an Omega 3 supplement and avoid processed foods) can also help with mood disorders.\n\ndneice","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6884-markdown","title":"I have major depressive disorder with mood swings and psychotic tendacies which weed suits me best?","slug":"i-have-major-depressive-disorder-with-mood-swings-and-psychotic-tendacies-which-weed-suits-me-best","content":"\n_____________________\nThere has been some evidence showing that CBD can be effective in combatting psychosis, however if you have psychotic tendencies cannabis may not be recommended as it is a psychoactive substance.\n\nryan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6821-markdown","title":"Is cannabis in CA going to be overtaken by big business?","slug":"is-cannabis-in-ca-going-to-be-overtaken-by-big-business","content":"\"Are we going to see the Walmart of weed after legalization?\"\n_____________________\nI would imagine that many view becoming the Wal-Mart of cannabis as their ultimate goal. Certainly if I owned a business I would want it to become as successful as possible. If Wal-Mart can exist in our retail markets it can definitely exist in the cannabis industry. It is up to policy makers to try and keep things as fair as possible. They are trying with Prop 64- like the 5 year ban on large scale licenses and other anti-vertical integration legislation. Other sections of the proposition, like the ability for the law to be changed by an internal vote makes me think that there will eventually be a Wal-Mart of cannabis, a McDonalds of cannabis, and even a Starbucks of cannabis.\n\nryan\n_____________________\nAbsolutely.  Weedmaps Chairman of the Board, Justin Hartfield, has stated that he wants Weedmaps to become the \"Philip Morris of weed.\"  Hell, Philip Morris is investing $20M in developing a cannabis inhaler for medical use: http://www.reuters.com/article/pmi-israel-idUSL8N153292.  The price of land in the Emerald Triangle of California has skyrocketed, with deep-pocketed investor groups anticipating setting up shop.  The regulatory structure proposed in prop. 64, with multiple layers of licensing and environmental compliance costs virtually guarantees that only large corporations, with their economies of scale, will be able to do business profitably should the proposition pass.\n\nBut do Californians really want the current low-to-no regulatory environment?  The environmental destruction of drug-cartel growing operations is well known.  And personally, I'd like for local dispensaries to test every product coming in their place for banned pesticides (assuming \"Big Pot\" allows regulators to create a list of banned pesticides in the first place: http://dpo.st/2fnRGv2). And just recently, Reveal published a story about worker exploitation in the MJ industry: http://bit.ly/2f67DST.  Legalizing and regulating the MJ industry would entitle MJ workers to all the protections other ag. workers have.\n\nacohn\n_____________________\nI don't believe so. There are residency requirements in Prop 64 (meaning you have to show that you have lived here in order to be granted a license) and a moratorium on the large scale cultivation license for 5 years. In time, there will likely be consolidation as the economies of scale make businesses more competitive. But the playing field is level to start.\n\nkristikiva","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6773-markdown","title":"high on an airplane","slug":"high-on-an-airplane","content":"\"so as i am fully aware that you are not primited to smoke on a plan. i was wondering will TSA, or law enforcement prevent me from carting medical weed edibles or pills. on my carry on. \n\"\n_____________________\nOK, so a common question and a good one to ask. TSA is a federal agency and as you know cannabis is illegal federally. Transporting cannabis across state lines is also illegal. I think it is up to your judgement as to whether you want to do this. I think if you are carrying a bunch of flower and it smells they may be likely to search your bag. \n\nBasically, if you look this up noone recommends it, however people obviously do do it with millions traveling every day.\n\nThis is an excerpt form the TSA site:\n\n\"TSA security officers do not search for marijuana or other drugs. In the event a substance that appears to be marijuana is observed during security screening, TSA will refer the matter to a law enforcement officer.\nWhether or not marijuana is considered legal under local law is not relevant to TSA screening because TSA is governed by federal law. Federal law provides no basis to treat medical marijuana any differently than non-medical marijuana.\n\nEven if an item is generally permitted, it may be subject to additional screening or not allowed through the checkpoint if it triggers an alarm during the screening process, appears to have been tampered with, or poses other security concerns. The final decision rests with TSA on whether to allow any items on the plane.\"\n\nI hope this helps!\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6650-markdown","title":"smoking marijuana from a water pipe","slug":"smoking-marijuana-from-a-water-pipe","content":"\"I recently tried an average sized glass bong to smoke my weed in.

First, clinical research must be licensed through the DEA and approved by the FDA. Unfortunately, the FDA classifies marijuana as a schedule 1 drug. \n\nAdditionally, it is important to regard your own intuition. For people who have a higher level of anxiety or prone to panic attacks marijuana can aggravate your symptoms. I have also experienced increased anxiety at times when I consume too much THC. Through trial and error, I decided to medicate in small amounts and do something that doesn't overwhelm me like listening to music or watching a movie.  \n\n\"Marijuana impairs light users’ attention and concentration but doesn’t appear to affect regular or heavy users within six hours of smoking or ingesting it.
