CF Cannabis Treatment - We want to feel better not high!. There is lots of info here and new research saying that there are numerous types of cannabinoids only one has psycho active properties, the rest have enormous health benefits. Please review and I would be curious what others felt good or bad. Smoking cannabis is not good for CF lungs obviously but there are other ways to consume namely raw!
A number of physiologicalmechanisms of cannabinoids and endocannabinoids coincide with the pathology ofCF. Thus it is suggested that potential benefits from THC treatment, inaddition to appetite stimulation, will include antiemetic, bronchodilating, anti-inflammatory,anti-diarrheal and hypo-analgesic effects.
Cannabinoids may just possibly counteract almost all of the symptoms of CysticFibrosis. It should be administered orally from a whole plant extract orvaporized.

Cannabisis the best natural expectorant to clear the human lungs of smog, dust and the
phlegm associated with tobacco use. Marijuana smoke effectively dilates theairways of
the lungs, the bronchi, opening them to allow more oxygen into the lungs

How does one go about getting rx or supply of correct product. I live in NJ where licensed cannabis dispensaries have recently opened. Only little and vague info has seeped out to the general public on how to go about obtaining the correct approach to using cannabis as a resource. Does a doctor prescribe it or do you have to "wing-it"?

If New Jersey is similar to Colorado’s Medical Marijuana Registry (MMR) this is how you go about getting Medical Marijuana (MM). The MMR collects applications and fees for people wanting to use marijuana for medicinal purposes, processes the applications and in return the send MMR cards or “Red Cards” to the patients. With this MMR card you can go to any MM dispensary in your state and purchase medical cannabis and MM products such as edibles or tinctures.

To obtain a MMR card you need to visit a dispensary or three in your area. They should have several advertisements for medical doctors specializing in MM evaluations. The main reason your pediatrician or adult CF specialist doesn’t perform MM evaluations as well as treat your other CF issues has to do with looming Federal laws that could befall any doctor. A MM evaluation in most cases involves a cursory physical exam, a MM evaluation* and all the paperwork to obtain your MMR or whatever they call it in NJ. In summary, see a doctor that does MMR or MM evaluations, send in the paperwork from the doctor that includes your evaluation, application, copy of current ID etc. along with the State fee and wait for the mail.

*MMR evaluation for anybody with documented medical issues is very straight forward. We are why this law happened so don’t worry about big brother here. A copy of a recent CF clinic evaluation that usually notes the particulars like “CF, DLT, CFRD etc., along with a sweat test or genetic test and a blood test or such is more than plenty. The actual medical marijuana evaluation won’t involve more than a fifteen minute visit with the doctor. During that time plus some of the time waiting for the doctor will be spent with office staff double checking applications, getting ID’s copied and in general making certain if you can affix a stamp to an envelope, you’re in.

I haven’t started going through rmotion’s links but my guess is you will find out far more than you need to know about MM choices and their effects. I have written on this topic before and my first personal rule is to keep my doctors on board and informed about anything outside the prescribed course of my treatment. Your doctor may not be thrilled over MM because like every natural medicine, science and fact are not mandatory like prescription drugs.
I haven’t had time to look this over but Leafly.com is a source of various MM strains with some description of content, treatments etc. Otherwise you are back in trial and error like sooo many medicines before. Hybrids are best to start with. Sativa or sativa dominant cannabis contains the highest levels of THC the main psychoactive drug. The rope industry developed Indica which has little THC but higher percentages of CBD’s. Hybrids are Sativa-Indica combinations like roses. You have more than most people can count.

Delivery is very important. I recommend vaporizing. A decent vaporizer like Vapir NO2 is available for around $180. It is a digitally controlled heat chamber that once set about 360 degrees F. you are in business. If you want a whole lot more on the topic, pm me or if all the links here aren’t enough look back a couple of months when this was a topic.

I would personally go for tincture. It lasts longer and doesn't get you as high. Tincture is the process of extracting components using high percentage alcohol, usually 94%. It is consumed by putting a squirt or 2 under your tongue for quick delivery (however, putting 94% alcohol under your tongue will kill the first layer of skin and cause it to peel) or by ingesting a few squirts of it.
