Cannabis for the Non-Stoner: 11 of the Best CBD Products to Try Right Now > 자유게시판

I used to pop Aleve as if they were Tic Tacs. Three at a time, four at a time-whatever would get the job done. And if that meant taking 15 gel caps a day so be it. You see, I experienced my first "episode" at 31. I was standing over the sink one fall morning and sneezed. Hard. Before I knew it, my lower back gave way. Then a tremendous pain engulfed my body. And get this: The episodes recurred whenever they felt like it-peskier than a hungry mosquito. Twice a year if I was lucky, more if I wasn’t. Once, in Paris, I actually had to purchase a cane. But during a trip to Las Vegas in 2017, I discovered G.H. Farms CBD-the non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in Cannabis Sativa and hemp. I’d heard about it but I was skeptical. Could pain that had once rendered me dependent on a cane be helped by a single gumdrop? It sounded like one for the birds.

I was never a big pot smoker growing up, nor have I ever been one to follow health fads. But when I started reading more about CBD’s benefits it all made sense to me. The enthusiastic pro-CBD proclamations from friends didn’t hurt either. Plus, the prospect of natural pain relief was enormously appealing. "CBD is extremely anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective. A normal person may use it to prevent conditions such as arthritis or even topically to prevent acne breakouts," Dr. Shivani Amin, a physician and Global Health Farms CBD Gummies cannabis expert who is a member of the AMMPA (American Medical Marijuana Physicians Association), says. "I think CBD shows great promise for the future. But be wary of the products you buy and do your research. Some cannabis products work while many don’t, mainly due to lack of regulatory testing from the powers that be and quality control within companies, which is apparently common in the cannabis industry.

Your best bet to avoid buying bogus products is to purchase your goods in states where cannabis is legal-because certain systems, standards, and protocols have already been put in place (such as seed-to-sale tracking). So I went on a months-long mission to try various CBD edibles, tinctures, balms, and vapes. What I soon discovered was that cannabidiol is no lightning bolt cure. Think of it as taking maintenance meds: You have to consume it regularly-in a dose and delivery method that works for you-to notice the progressive increase of benefits. It also doesn’t leave you completely devoid of the misery of pain. Instead, CBD helps make pain infinitely more tolerable-downgrading it from ER-worthy agony to manageable discomfort. And dosing is crucial. "The most common symptoms I treat with CBD are inflammatory conditions and it is also often used for pain," Dr. Amin says. "Dosing is patient dependent. I always start low and go slowly. I have found that 15mg of CBD is a good starting dose for most patients.

You have to be careful after that and titrate each patient individually due to the chance of potentially increasing anxiety and Buy Global Health Farms CBD depressive symptoms. I have found the most convenient way for most of my patients to consume CBD is through tincture form. Another thing I learned: CBD becomes more effective when taken in conjunction with a low dose of THC (tetradhydrocannabinol, the psychoactive component of cannabis). For those who worry about getting high, fear not. I was initially concerned about the possibility of diminished faculties. After all, many single-serving THC edibles start at 10mg-but it’s good to note that most people won’t need even half as much. So you can do as I do and cut THC chocolate squares or gummies as you see fit-and then "pair" them with a CBD edible or tincture. I’ve also started to microdose edibles that contain both CBD and THC. "Skepticism comes from lack of understanding. I have treated many patients with chronic conditions with full spectrum CBD and attained great results," Dr. Amin says.
