-
Always consider Efficacy, Safety and Cost Above all Else
-
Never Purchase ANYTHING without a Certificate of Analysis (CoA)
-
Most Dispensaries Cater to People Wanting Products with a High Tetrahydrocannabinol
(THC) Content. This is the “Phytocannabinoid” that causes “Intoxication” (Euphoria).
-
THC has a Narrow “Therapeutic Index/Range.” Oftentimes There is Little Difference
Between the Amount Needed for Therapeutic Effects One Seeks, and Side Effects One
Experiences.
-
Cannabidiol (CBD) is the Phytocannabinoid Given MOST of the Credit for Therapeutic Effect
(Falsely).
-
CBD by Itself (Isolate) Requires Extra Processing to Make, is NOT Powerful, Requires
Higher Dosing to Achieve Minimal Effectiveness and is Expensive.
-
The Most Effective Products Have a “Full-Spectrum” of Phytocannabinoids and Other
Natural Plant Constituents (Terpenes, Flavonoids, etc.)
-
“Broad Spectrum” Products Have Everything that Full-Spectrum Products Have Except
THC.
-
Cannabis Products with Less Than 0.3% THC are Considered Hemp by the US Government.
-
CBD Education: The BEST Products are Full Spectrum With a Small Amount of THC Plus Additional
Ingredients (CannaCeuticals).
-
The Therapeutic Activity of THC is Potentiated by CBD!
-
CBD LESSENS the “High” from THC Without Lessening the Therapeutic Effectiveness.
-
Cannabis “Naïve” Patients Should:
- “START LOW AND GO SLOW” When Using Cannabis for the First Time.
- Check with Your Physician or Pharmacist Prior to Using Cannabis if You Take Other
Medications.
- Be Very Patient with Cannabis Therapeutics as Peak Effects May Take Weeks to Achieve
(Homeostatic Balance is Often Times a “Process”)!
-
People Should be Prepared to Try Various Types (formerly called “Strains,” now
appropriately called “Cultivars”) as There are Hundreds of Cannabinoids and Terpenes in
the Cannabis Plant and Hundreds of Cultivars Containing Said Chemicals (learned through CBD education).
