Cannabis has taken the wellness industry by storm. Medical marijuana has been used for thousands of years, but does it really …

Don't know if I'll get an answer but there it goes: I've recently started smoking cbd for my crohn's disease flare-ups and my migraines (the pills i have prescribed do nothing for the pain). As someone with Crohn's disease i was told not to smoke tobacco pretty early on my treatment, does someone know if smoking cbd can have a dangerous effect on my digestive system or my lungs?
Most CBD oils over the counter are are made from Hemp or hemp seeds not cannabis. Hemp is the cousin of cannabis and mostly good for making material, ropes etc not for medication. I relied on cannabis (marijuana) for 21 years while suffering major spine damage (12 levels), Spondylolisthesis, herniated discs, foraminal and central canal stenosis, broken facetjoints and Adhesive Arachnoiditis. Before my fusion I was only given Lyrica so I was forced to take matters into my hands and used cannabis (marijuana) both orally and vaped it when it was flaring. I find cannabis (marijuana) is safe for long term pain patients that are of sound mind and are adults. Long term pain patients are at risk of health problems side affects, overdosing and addiction from prescription medications.
A few more things to note about high doses of CBD is that at 500 mg people tend to feel drowsy. So taking a lot of CBD and then feeling some type of relaxed sensation, means the drowsiness is kicking in and operating any kind of machinery can be dangerous. I would definitely not recommend taking high doses of CBD because we are still uncertain of the long-term effects at such high doses, also CBD is not intended for sleep but CBN is at only 1/10 psychotropic effects of marijuana. Also CBD from hemp doesn't typically have the same medicinal effects from CBD derived from marijuana and both THC and CBD must be present in order to achieve medical effects such as treating epilepsy. Unless a business has a license to sell marijuana, they are selling you CBD derived from hemp so it's not the same but it's safe if you want to stay away from the psychotropic effects of THC. And for people that are wondering why I am saying that THC is psychotropic is because for the most part it's extremely rare to hallucinate from marijuana though it does tend to cause psychosis.
I'm not calling you dumb but you kinda smart and kinda lost over there Marijuana doesn't carry suicidal thoughts If you would think marijuana is used to calm down anxiety You would think people with the anxiety would have more mental suicidal problems than the actual plan People marijuana doesn't cause suicidal thoughts That is the bunk right here right now
What’s frustrating about the medical marijuana situation in the Uk is that I come under the prescribing guidelines, however it’s so expensive that I’m completely priced out. It’s illegal for me to purchase the same product and consume it the same way and even more illegal for me to grow it myself and ensure it’s quality. I truly believe that it comes down to the ability to tax and control that criminalises the most vunerable people who are most likely to benefit. CBD is expensive, it’s not quality controlled and your consumption has to be high meaning it’s a larger spend. Anyway, that’s my rant. I do hope you had a nice tkme
I suffer from chronic migraine pain and I swear by CBD. I am able to buy it legally online (from Colorado, from hemp) and it is tested to avoid contamination with THC. 20-30mg or 10mg in the morning on a good day is what I do for them. I have much less fogginess than trying to use excedrine, much more energy, no caffiene crash. I can take it every morning on days I know I will have a migraine no problem.
I was very sleepy the first week (on a low dose) but I got used to it.
I would say supplementing with magnesium and CBD are tied for helping me most. None of the migraine medications I have tried have helped.
The oil and gummies are different but I like both.
I use Marijuana for Chrones disease(helps with appetite, sleep, and stomach cramps), sleep( getting a better sleep, focus( smoke a little in the morning and I feel more alert) also for stress. These are great things the Marijuana could help with no side affects like pills. Go green!
When and if Cannabis becomes legal everywhere do you think healthcare workers will be able to use it without repercussion? I’m curious to know your opinion… thanks Dr. Karan and did I mention I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS?! ❤️
I think it's really important here in the UK to distinguish between over the counter cbd and prescribed medical cannabis. The former is what Dr Karan's slick vid discusses in great detail. Sadly oral cannabinoids have a very low bioavailability (of 100% CBD you take, you only get 6% of it) meaning unless you take it with something fatty like a yoghurt you're not going to get a lot of benefit from the lower strength formulations.
Some other facts about CBD: – Nobody has ever died from cannabis use alone (Street cannabis contains both THC and CBD) – CBD alone will NEVER cause psychosis – You'll never feel intoxicated by taking CBD alone
There's a great deal more to MEDICAL cannabis (not over the counter CBD) that Dr Karan hasn't touched on (probably not the scope of his video) – terpene profile, the entourage effect of multiple smaller less well known cannabinoid molecules, as well as how medical cannabis can be used as an opioid substitute in patients with chronic pain.
My bottom line in this comment – CBD oil ISN'T medical cannabis and it's important to make that distinction.
Dr Karan your video is so👌I'll even give you a YT follow 😎
Snoop…. My wife has Dystonia and Anxiety/depression that seems to come hand in hand with conditions like this because of the increasing loss of independence. Do you think this would help..
I was very sceptical, but after suffering over a year with a frozen shoulder after a week of using every night the shoulder was much looser and had much more movement, when the bottle runs out it’s stiffens up again – it’s like magical stuff
I've fallen in love with your videos. I've seen all of them and I could have watched and listened to you all day long. You are very talented Doc! Keep up the good work and God bless you🙏
CBD alone doesn't work for me. It needs the THC balance to be effective and so I do use the herb. I hate the high so I make it into a tea and it works wonders!!
The fact is that no serious study has been able to demonstrate an effect superior to the placebo effect. The placebo effect is powerful and is not negligible. So there is indeed an effect. Unfortunately, in order to show that a "drug" has an effect, its effect must be superior to that of a placebo. The CBD for the moment has no more effect.
The interest of studies is to prove the effects of a product. In order to avoid relying on testimonials whose scientific value is zero.
For example, I myself have tested the CBD and it had absolutely no effect on anything. Can we draw conclusions? No. It is the same principle in the opposite case. That's why studies are conducted, to remove bias etc. …
Dr Karan, you did not consider that unregulated oils contain up to 5% THC, and for people predisposed to psychosis such as myself it might make them ill!
I've used CBD vape and it gives me anxiety for about 10 minutes (or longer if I have more) and people look at me like I'm crazy but I had look on Google and I'm not the only one who has this same effect.
cannabis should be legal in the UK 🇬🇧, Its rare I bake it into brownies probably once every 2 years, but it'll solve so many problems, fuel, food, boomers voting out of the EU, just make it legal there's so many jobs that can provide
3 ruptured discs, nerve damage and serious shoulder issues. Opiot meds just bunged me up and ruined my stomach. CBD is the only thing that actually worked. Decent products are out there.
I only take CBD with traces of THC however I can feel the chemical change through my body as I slowly allow a gummy to dissolve. It helps with my fibromyalia flare ups and I do not need to take big pharma drugs at all any more for fibromyalia anymore.

CBD can help your body transition from the stress of work, to home, to recovery—in all three phases.

i have found a lot of relief using cbd oil from eden's herbals.

What about CBD isolate? Would you say that is also a waste of money?

Not mentioning any ancient Indian Ayurveda medicine and culture? Lol

Snoop
Snoop 😂😜
Anyone else here just to see if it works?
Snoop. And hi from Berlin! I like your science based content!
I've used CBD vape and it gives me anxiety for about 10 minutes (or longer if I have more) and people look at me like I'm crazy but I had look on Google and I'm not the only one who has this same effect.
I am happy about the fact that Doctor mentioned an important aspect of CBD and hemp…. the impact on my bank balance!
Was this a distillate product or isolate? Isolate is only good for cosmetics and not much else.
