As a licensed Life and Health Insurance agent with over 15 years of industry experience I have witnessed major disparities in Health Care Mostly due to the social determinants of health Being a parent and family member of Sickle Cell Survivors the chronic pain anxiety and depression that has overwhelmed my loved ones for years has been devastating to watch Often the best treatment option recommended is Opioids to assist in pain management which can lead to addiction and even worse I knew there was a natural alternative to help alleviate these symptoms and the Burning Bush was born Along the way we have discovered that all companies are not created equal Since CBD is not yet regulated by the FDA many companies do not offer the highest quality ingredients which means that consumers may not be receiving the true therapeutic benefits that CBD can afford them Research and education are key That s why I decided to continue my education at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy where I completed my Masters of Science in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics This graduate program is the first in the country that is dedicated to the study of medical cannabis and has equipped me with the knowledge needed to support the Burning Bush clients I pride myself in taking care of my clients holistically and utilize my years of experience to not only assist them in their natural product needs but also with their Health and Life Insurance It s all about providing Care By Design Allow me the opportunity to sit down with you one on one and create an individual plan to meet your needs You ll quickly see the Burning Bush Difference Love Light Nikki The Dope Canna Coach CEO Burning Bush

What Is CBD Can CBD Help Me Cannabidiol CBD is a naturally occurring compound found in the resinous flower of cannabis a plant with a rich history as a medicine going back thousands of years The cannabis plant has over 400 naturallyocurring chemical compounds of which over 80 are classified as cannabinoids including cannabidiol CBD and the more well known THC or delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol CBD is sold in a variety of forms including tinctures sprays oils edibles vapes and topical creams though most people purchase CBD as an oil Hemp vs Cannabis Knowing the difference between hemp derived CBD and Cannabis can be confusing The confusion surrounding hemp derived CBD vs cannabis relates to the plant s classification name and makeup Basically hemp plants contain more CBD and cannabis plants contain more tetrahydrocannabinol THC a compound that causes the high that people associate with cannabis use Both plants look similar smell similar and feel similar In order for Hemp derived CBD to be considered federally legal it must contain 0 3 or Less THC Though more research is needed some scientific studies have shown CBD may have certain healing properties and can be used in the treatment of chronic pain inflammation diabetes neurodegenerative diseases arthritis acne and anxiety just to name a few There are more studies being conducted on a consistent basis Before taking CBD you should also consult with your Medical Doctor to determine if CBD is right for you As with anything you put in your body you want to ensure it does not have an adverse reaction with other medications Endocannabinoid System The endocannabinoid system ECS is a complex cellsignaling system identified in the early 1990s by researchers exploring THC Cannabinoids are compounds found in cannabis Experts are still trying to fully understand the ECS But so far we know it plays a role in regulating a range of functions and processes including sleep mood appetite memory reproduction and fertility Let s examine the different methods in which consumers use CBD

Smoking Vaping CBD comes in a smokable flower form Hemp derived CBD contains 0 3 or less THC so you won t get High The effects of smoking CBD flower generally begins in 10 minutes and last for about an hour Smoking can be harmful Some people choose to take their CBD dose in the form of Vaping This can be characterized as an e cigarette Vaping CBD flower absorbs into your lungs better than smoking Remember inhaling smoke of any kind can still be harmful to your lungs Edibles Topicals CBD can be added to food The most common is chocolate cookies and gummies Keep in mind your body still has to metabolize it before it can start working You won t feel immediate results so patience is key CBD can be added to lotions creams salves and even bath bombs Those suffering from inflammation like fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis can potentially experience some relief by applying a topical to the area needing attention Tinctures Taking CBD sublingually is by far the best method to achieve results Tinctures are the liquid oil form of CBD which can be taken orally One dropper full of CBD taken under the tongue enables CBD to quickly move into your bloodstream Gel Capsule CBD can be taken orally in the form of a Gel Capsule This method is very similar to the liquid tincture Some do not prefer the earthy taste of liquid CBD oil and prefer the capsules instead Either method is effective in achieving results

CBD Dosing Guide CBD Dosing is unique to each individual A good rule of thumb is to start low and go slow When determining CBD oil dosage it s important to understand the dosage depends on your physiology symptoms and your desired effects Every person is unique and will experience different results Remember that Endocannabinoid system you were introduced to earlier A person with a balanced Endocannabinoid system may not need as much oil and will also experience more subtle effects While an individual with more pressing health issues may need a higher CBD oil dosage to help get their Endocannabinoid system into balance CBD oil takes time to build up within the body and produce benefits Take a look at the recommended dosage per the weight chart below and review the recommended dosage per day guideline on starting your CBD journey to learn more You can experiment with proper CBD dosage based on your weight and how you want to take CBD oil START LOW GO SLOW

Talk to your Doctor about CBD We recommend that you speak with your Doctor before using CBD especially if your goal is to treat an existing medical condition It s important to talk to your Doctor before starting to take CBD to make sure there isn t a good reason to avoid it Most doctors aren t well versed in the endocannabinoid system or cannabinoids because they are not part of a conventional form of medicine taught in medical schools The best way to find out if your Doctor will give you a recommendation or not is to bring it up in your next appointment Ultimately your health is your responsibility so don t be afraid to ask for what you wanteven if you think your Doctor might not be very excited about having a discussion about potential alternative treatment options like CBD Tips for talking to your Doctor Prepare for the appointment Doctors are busy To save time take notes about your symptoms and research how CBD can be used to help alleviate them Your Doctor will know that you are serious Write down any questions before hand so you can be prepared Get a second opinion Some Doctors don t stay up to date with current research If your Doctor doesn t know enough about CBD to make a recommendation or isn t open to talking about it you may want to find another for a second opinion There is nothing wrong with doing this Forget about the stigma People associate the plant with psychoactive effects even though CBD doesn t have any Now information surrounding CBD has become widely available Most people understand the difference between using CBD medicinally and the intoxicating effects of THC If you think you should give CBD a try mention it to your Doctor Find a Doctor familiar with Medical Cannabis There are many Doctors around the world that specialize in Medical Cannabis The board of Pharmacy in your State lists some and there are other Medical professionals that can refer you to one

Understanding Drug Interactions Potential Therapetic Benefits The main reason why your Doctor might not approve the use of CBD is due to the potential for interactions with some of your other medications There are a few ways CBD can negatively interact with other drugs Antagonistic interactions inhibition this type of interaction means the CBD has the opposite effect to the medication you re already taking which can reduce the latter s effectiveness on the condition it s meant to treat Agonistic interactions potentiation this interaction involves CBD producing similar effects to the medication you re already taking causing the overall effects to become too strong Liver Metabolism all drugs are metabolized by the liver through specific enzymes CBD is metabolized by the liver enzymes CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 If CBD shares too many of the same enzymes as another drug it can hinder their breakdown potentially causing a buildup in the bloodstream Medications that can potentially interfere with CBD metabolism Plavix Celexa Resciptor Diflucan Prozac Luvox Indocin Prevacid Paxil Prilosec Trileptal Zoloft Ticlid and Topamax Consult with your Physician for a complete list of possible interactions CBD has been shown to provide a superior safety profile in comparison to standard therapy There has been no reported deaths or overdose from CBD use CBD may have therapeutic value in a number of diseases Such as epilepsy anxiety depression and inflammatory bowel disease CBD in low doses can be energizing and may interfere with falling asleep if taken too late in the day Potential Side Effects While CBD does not cause intoxicating effects high doses can cause sedation diarrhea and decreased appetite Though some may view the sedation and decreased appetite as a benefit it is important to mention this for those that may be sensitive to these types of side effects Using edibles increases the risk of side effects This is because absorption of cannabinoids from the gastrointestinal tract can be very unpredictable Remember to start low and go slow
