Frequently Asked Questions...

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is the Master regulating system in the body that balances ALL other systems in our body. It brings homeostasis or balance internally when stressful conditions change externally. Components in the Cannabis plant (phyto-cannabinoids) mimic chemicals in the body. It wasn’t discovered until the 1990’s.

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is one of at least 140 cannabinoids unique to cannabis. Benefits of CBD in cannabinoid therapy include being an anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, anti-nausea, anti-vomiting, anti-anxiety, antidepressant, antipsychotic, antioxidant, anti-tumoral, neuroprotective agent, anti-degenerative agent, and spermatogenesis agent. The most popular and most researched cannabinoids are THC and CBD. However, in addition to these major cannabinoids, there are a hundred-and-something minor cannabinoids that we must not forget about. Each minor cannabinoid can have a profound physiological effect. It’s the ratios of these minor cannabinoids and the terpenes that make each strain of cannabis so different.

Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the principal constituent (or cannabinoid) of the cannabis plant and has psychoactive effects. Benefits of THC in cannabinoid therapy include pain relief, appetite stimulation, sleep aid, antidepressant, anti-nausea, anti-vomiting, and more. THC is available only in jurisdictions that have legalized it for medical or recreational purposes.

Different ratios of cannabinoids (major and minor,) plus different terpenes, create different health effects. Whole-plant, or full-spectrum, medicine refers to using the entire plant to address the symptoms. Whole plant medicine utilizes the plant’s natural terpenes, polyphenols, and ALL of the plant’s cannabinoids, both the major cannabinoids and the minor ones. I am a passionate believer in whole-plant medicine.

Cannabinoid therapy has been beneficial for a number of symptoms and conditions which makes it a potential option for many. See Medical Conditions and Symptoms  that cannabis therapy benefit 

I assist adult and pediatric clients, as well as pets.

Two identical individuals with the same condition taking the same product can have two different outcomes or results, so it is difficult to suggest a condition-specific product. Therefore, this process may involve some trial and error to determine what is the right product or combination of products for you.

I help you by taking a holistic approach to using various cannabis products safely and maximizing the benefits without unwanted side effects

Remember you do not have to get “High” to experience the wonderful benefits

There is extensive research on the safety and toxicology of cannabinoids that suggest that cannabinoids are well-tolerated and safe for humans even at high doses. However, there can be potential drug interactions with prescriptions and supplements . 

I understand cannabinoid therapy can be overwhelming; that is why I am here to help. All cannabis is not created equal and can be a complicated process to find the right products for what you need. I will provide you with up to date education about your conditions, go over the strains and terpine profiles best suited for you, and develop a therapy plan that works for you.

Once you determine a product, there are several ways to administer cannabis: sublingual, oral, topical, transdermal, vaporized, and more. The amount that an individual takes in a day varies based upon weight, condition, and brain chemistry. 

There are many ratios of CBD to THC derived products. Those that are derived from medical marijuana can be found in legal dispensaries. CBD derived from hemp (with less than 0.3% THC) can be purchased in select retail outlets as well as online in all 50 states. Not I will help you chose high quality products
