Question 1

can medical marijuana help heal a foot infection?

Accepted Answer

doubtful: Marijuana is clinically recognized in at least 20 states as safe and effective for treating a variety of medical conditions, including diagnosis of aids, cancer, chronic pain, glaucoma, chrones disease, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, anxiety, depression , insomnia, and ptsd. It is not recommended for treating any type of infection...Be it viral, bacterial, or fungal.

Question 2

can medical marijuana be used for a hip dislocation?

Accepted Answer

Not legitimately: No specific benefit for such a thing, and it's use would be a "reach" for nausea related to other drugs used perhaps.

Question 3

is it safe to smoke medical marijuana before a routine blood test?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: As to whether it "is safe" to smoke cannabis prior to a medical evaluation blood test it would not be expected for the test values to be significantly altered except for the cannabis blood level.  Question of safety is more properly directed to safety of driving to the testing facility.

Question 4

is erythema multiforme a conditon you can get medical marijuana for?

Accepted Answer

No: Erythema multiforme is an allergic reaction. Em minor is similar to a very bad case of hives. Em major is severe and needs treatment in a hospital. Substance abuse often means a person exposes himself to illegal drugs (unknown purity, unknown additives, unknown amounts, etc...) and is at risk for getting allergic reactions to unknown substances he takes.

Question 5

can someone gets a prescription for boost (nutrition drink) and is medical marijuana prescribed for chronic pancreatitis?

Accepted Answer

Chronic pancreatitis: If it's medically indicated a prescription can be written for nutritional supplemental drinks. Not all insurances will cover as it is available "OTC".  As far as the chronic pancreatitis - the only literature I am aware of have found marijuana as a cause for recurrent pancreatitis so I highly doubt it's being used as a treatment (unless as marinol for appetite issues).

Question 6

can i smoke medical marijuana on 200 mg of topirimate (used  for weight loss)? not a lot  obviously only for chronic pain.

Accepted Answer

Side effects...: ...of marijuana include increased appetite and weight gain, so it kind of ruins whatever effect you are hoping for from topiramate. Sounds like an individual decision, how bad the pain is vs the weight problem, and is the pain weight related -- in which case cannabis is the last thing you'd want for the pain.

Question 7

i live in california and am seeking a medicinal cannabis card. are there any medical marijuana doctors out there that i can talk to online?

Accepted Answer

Good faith physical: face to face as required by California law. Also patients should have a documented medical record of diagnosis.

Question 8

is it ok to take me medical marijuana which is high in cbd 14.6 very low in thc.8 with clarithromycin 2 x 500mg a day? will it affect my liver or slow

Accepted Answer

Brain: Despite being legal, it is not okay to take marijuana. It is a psychoactive drug that will mess with your brain.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Coud be: Moving the wellbutrin dose to another time of day could help.  Should discuss with your doc as there may be other factors here.

Question 10

could medical marijuana help? i have migraines on an almost daily basis to due to suffering numerous concussions throughout my life. i've tried prescriptions that didn't work. do you think medical marijuana could be a good solution to my issue? thanks for

Accepted Answer

Marijuana : Marijuana has been shown clinically to be a very poor analgesic agent. It is probably no more effective as a painkiller than a mild narcotic. Its' best use is in cancer patients to improve appetite and improve mood and decrease anxiety. There is unfortunately a lot of hype regarding medical marijuana, which has not been proven in clinical trials. I would seek a good neurologist who deals with headaches in his/her practice.
