Hey everyone i have a question. I suffer from seizures and i am a valid medical marijuana patient in california. My doctor told me to try using cannabis with high CBD percentages.
your personal pcp/ doctor should always be the best source of advice, knowing more about your condition however.. cbd has been pushed heavily without really looking or talking about thc..mainly bcause its sort of a half way point to legalizing or legitimizing a plant used medically and recreationally.
being that the compounds are so complex i always like to throw out multiple sides, devils advocate i suppose.
"Rats rendered chronically epileptic by bilateral implantation of cobalt into frontal cortices were simultaneously prepared with permanent electrodes for longitudinal recording of the electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyogram (EMG). Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-8-THC; 10 mg/kg), delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9-THC; 10 mg/kg), cannabidiol (CBD; 60 mg/kg), or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) vehicle (2 ml/kg) was administered IP twice daily from day 7 through 10 after cobalt implantation, at which time generalized seizure activity in non-treated cobalt-epileptic rats was maximal. Relative to PVP-treated controls, CBD did not alter the frequency of appearance of seizures during the course of repeated administration. In contrast, both delta-8-THC and delta-9-THC markedlyreduced the incidence of seizures"
thc in low doses for new users can be very effective. im assuming your new by the sound of your side effects try smoking less also....and im not saying cbd isnt effective in cases...
Most dispensarys i goto dont have much. Is there a way i can take the THC out of the flower so it will only contain CBD?
sort of, it would be much easier to do this in solution like everclear.
the two easiest options are heat and light, light will convert thc to cbn, heat will turn it to delta 8 less potent more relaxing.
cbd is pretty stable and not effected nearly as much. this is what causes the more sedative affects of most edibles. it would be better all around to get a different strain.
thc is a type of terpene, like many terps it hits receptors. the terps in blueberry strains like bluedream make it more relaxing and could help you there, its widely available and many like it for medicinal use such as anxiety relief like your complaining
I dont like the high from thc to much because it makes me kind of paranoid and id like to still use medical marijuana for its benifits from CBD which help my seizures. Please if you can help let me know. I dont want to make capsules, edibles or oils. Id prefer to smoke flowers with only CBD or as little thc as possible.
Thank you for your time
