For sleeping problems we recommend starting with CBD Canna Oil this is an amazing antioxidant and anti inflammatory and has max potency 14 mgs CBD per ml and is very low max potency THC 0.5 mgs per ml, so great for daily therapeutic use. Many customers find that one of the first things they notice after being on this product for awhile is that their sleep improves…
We also have 80 mg maximum potency THC organic herbal teas, that many of our customers use for their sleeping problems. *If you are unfamiliar with the effects of THC we recommend diluting one tea bag to two cups of water and only drinking one cup and wait an hour to see if that is enough to offer relief, before consuming the second cup. Store the unused prepared tea in a covered container in the fridge for your next serving.
Also medicinal cannabis products such as Canna Oil Plus Original ( AKA Phoenix Tears) that contain higher THC (75) are more sedating and may help with insomnia, but we advise always err on the side of caution and start with an extremely small amount like a quarter of a grain of rice (use a piece of rice to gauge how small an amount that is) wait at least an hour or so to see how you feel… onset of action is individual and results may vary…  if that is not enough to provide relief you can slowly increment up over a few days until you find just the amount that works. Please follow the detailed instructions that come with the product for best results.
For those who like to smoke or vape their medicinal cannabis, we have a variety of cannabis flowers, hashes and shatter that are high in THC that may help you relax and aid in sleep.
Also, loss of appetite is common among cancer patients, either because the cancer itself or its treatment affects the sense of taste and smell, leading to decreased enjoyment of food. This, in turn, can lead to weight loss, anorexia, a worse quality of life and decreased survival; therefore, finding effective ways of helping patients to maintain a good diet and consume enough calories is an important aspect of their treatment. For patients with cancer, cannabis can help improve food intake and prevent unhealthy loss of weight. See EurekAlert article for more information
The goal for most cannabis patients is to find just the right dosage to get relief from their symptoms, without getting the psychactive effects of the THC. However, when it comes to dosing Medicinal Cannabis, it is not a one size fits all medicine and the amount that works for one person may not be sufficient, or may be too much for another. There are even those who are ultra sensitive to the effects of THC and for them less is definitely more!
To get the best results with medical cannabis, (especially with the higher THC products) itâs always best to follow suggested dosing instructions and start small and increment up slowly over a few days. Because cannabis can be difficult to dose, most patients have to experiment a bit to find which medicinal cannabis product(s) and at what dose works best for them.
There is also rectal administration. The rectal method in the form of a suppository is the most effective. This is due to the large surface area available for absorption. Similarly to ingesting edible cannabis, the effects of a suppository are long lasting, often ranging between 4-8 hours depending on the patients tolerance to cannabis. Rectal administration also allows the individual to increase their doses much faster as the effects of the THC are minimal in comparison to being taken orally.
Taking too much THC is not a cause for alarm and bottom line is don’t panic!
For some individuals taking THC may cause dry mouth and other uncomfortable feelings. For those who are not familiar with Cannabis use this can be a little scary, but it is important to note that these feelings are temporary and “this too shall pass”. To avoid feeling “over-medicated,” one should know their limits when it comes to THC, but it can happen to even seasoned cannabis users. If this happens to you there ways to help you cope until it passes, such as:
- Drink lots of cold water, juices and other non caffeinated beverages… this will also help with dry mouth.
- Stay calm, relax and take deep full breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth.
- Keep distracted by playing a video game, watch a funny movie, or listen to your favourite upbeat music, or talk to (non judgemental) friends or family members you trust.

Cannabis contains over 200 varieties of terpenes. They are thought to interact synergistically with the cannabinoids in the plant and enhance its health effects.
Each of the different cannabis strains contains its own terpenes and some are more abundant than others causing the different flavors and aromas in the plant.
Alpha-pinene for example, is one of the most known to act as a natural bronchodilator and expectorant AND to help one keeping focus and concentration. It increases ones mental energy and can also act as a topical antiseptic.
