Administration :

Treating migraines can and should be approached in two ways : symptomatically and prophylactically .

● Symptomatically treats the migraine at the earliest signs of onset .

● Prophylactically means using cannabis periodically and daily , in low doses , to reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches .

Because nausea and vomiting often accompany migraines , oral administration of cannabis can prove challenging . Smoking or vaping avoids this problem and is also faster acting . Results can be felt in as little as five minutes . THC is critical for treating migraines , but be aware that THC is biphasic , meaning that a little can be effective while too much may exacerbate symptoms . Therefore , one should dose only to the level that symptoms abate . It ’ s wise to avoid high THC cultivars and gravitate toward those that also include moderate to high levels of CBD .
