Does anyone have a formula to figure out how much medical marijuana should one take and what strength should it be with or without CBD

Amount and strength of medical marijuana

Best thing to do is make an appointment with a physician who orders the use of Medical Marijuana and or CBD. I think dosing would be different for Anxiety vs. Insomnia and so forth.

No one can tell you, not even a doctor. Start off with a little if it has any THC. there are edibles, tinctures and flower depending on what your needs are. I find tincture to be somewhat effective for sleep as it lasts. Flower (vaping) works quick but short lived. I have not tried edibles but think it would be similar to tincture. If you are going to a dispensary ask for something mild, I recommend advising them your a newbie so you won’t feel uncomfortable as THC can have that effect on some people.

I can share with you what I have started giving my mother since a week after getting a Marijuana card and taking her to a doctor who prescribed the following dose. Start with a low dose : 15mg CBD +1mg THC twice a day - once in the morning after tea/breakfast and then once in the night while going to bed. If not effective, then after a couple of weeks go for a higher dose : 30mg of CBD +2mg THC. I am using tinctures obtained from a marijuana dispensary (Galactic Brand of CBD &THC bought from 'Om of Medicine', Ann Arbor Michigan ; both tinctures in separate 30 ml bottles (for CBD and THC) and mixing the right quantity. Galactic brand and each drop is 1mg, so basically 15 drops of CBD for 1 drop of THC amounts to low dosage. Note: Each bottle costs $75.00; My mother is 75 years old, 5 feet tall and weighs 110 pounds. You should go to a doctor who will prescribe the dose based on age, condition, purpose etc.

My wife got the lecture from the doc who issued her medical marijuana card. Experimentation is the key. He suggested starting with a ratio of 4:1 CBD to THC and raising THC until you get results. She uses both tincture and edibles.

THC stops tremor, not CBD. My tremor is severe in the Left Hand, Mirapex 1.35mg/day does little to nothing for motor tremor. One puff on a battery powered vape pipe stops all tremor, to be able to fall asleep, in less than 30 minutes. A real blessing. Cannot be used during the day. A vape pipe is much like an electronic cigarette.

Diagnosed 9 years ago

Using cannabis for six years along with Sinemet

My observations

Debate between CBD and THC driven by legal issues as much as medical

Most effective when both CBD and THC used

Strain is just as important

dopedirectory.com/marijuana...

Sativa helps motivate exercise (AM use)

Indica helps relax (PM use)

Tried Sinemet alone

tried cannabis alone

need both

also using mucuna puriens, B1 and niacin

Still getting around fairly well during my 69th year of this earthly experience.
