I also like to use a little bit more lecithin cuz I have a lot of neuropathy and lecithin is quite good for nerves and brain tissue. At this point all I'm really interested in treating is my autoimmune disease and my neuropathy to that end I take one 5x capsule in the morning two 5x caps late afternoon and two 2.5x capsules at night before I go to sleep. I use 2:1 THC:CBD in my caps.stayalive;3715645 said:that's wonderful
may I ask if you do any maintenance and if yes which one?
My wife is really inconsistent in her use of cannabinoids for therapy she can range from half gram of active cannabinoids a day to nothing it's just kind of odd how she decides what to take and when.

I like to think in terms of cannabinoids simply because I'm used to thinking medically and I like to know milligrams produce that kind of thing. Since I live in a state where I can do lab tests and I'm able to work that out one way or another. For reference my cco contains 840 mg per gram.
Something that can have a rather large effect on the strength of the capsule is the amount of lecithin I use for each preparation. I tend to put 3 ml of lecithin in each capsule mix that I make up. So when I'm making stronger capsules I tend to make less capsules and that means I use a lot more lecithin per capsule.

It absolutely amazes me how it's cooling off my neuropathy, I was really getting worried that I was going to lose the use of my right arm and now I'm starting to think I might be able to start lifting weights sometime this winter.
The real benefit though has been my yearly visits to my personal physician. Every single thing he measures has improved since I've started using lots of cannabis. I stopped taking my prescription drugs which was like 13 to 16 different drugs a day. He asked me what it was he could do for me and I told him just monitor the big stuff that could sneak up on me. Otherwise I take care of my own health with cannabis and he respects that.
