re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge
Greetings Oilers.
Yesterday I stumbled upon this thread and began reading the 38 pages to get caught up.
Before I go any further let me say I was shocked and deeply saddened that we have lost Tim, I had no idea. I spoke with him via e-mails on several occasions beginning in September and he was very helpful in getting lists to me so that I would be able to hit the ground running after my first harvest (which I just completed.) I was to contact him the first of the year and we were going to dig a little deeper and begin the journey. Obviously I will miss him greatly.
My interest in the oil was NOT for cancer, as far as I know I am in pretty decent health as far as that goes. I asked Tim if the oil would be of any value to an old man with old man symptoms and he said absolutely, we can rejuvenate old worn out bodies many times. With that said I will describe my current situation.
I am a 66 y/o guy that I always felt was in good shape, however the last 3-4 years have taken a toll. I have mild hypertension and glaucoma, but severe degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis, deteriorating shoulder and hip joints, and all the associated problems. I have lost nearly 4 inches in height so my discs are pretty much just collapsing upon themselves. I was going to VA docs the last 4 years or so and after a bunch of testing they put me on Morphine. This spring in the governments infinite wisdom, they decided that they have been treating pain all wrong and stopped issuing narcotics in favor of alternative treatment regimens. I have tried most all of them with no success which led me to search out what other vets were doing, and what do you know...They are treating with cannabis.
Sooo, now you probably know more about me then needed, but I want to be upfront.
I have material curing as we speak. Grand Daddy Purple, Blue Blood, PainKiller-XL, and a little Durga Mata ll CBD. As you can see by the high CBD strains I have picked, I am in this more for the medicinal value than getting "high." That has it's place and I am not opposed to it on occasion, but not everyday! Tim assured me that they would all have there place even though there were possibly better strains for oil.
So here I am, I still don't know what is the best route to take. I had planned on "tacking" but have recently been doing some reading about juicing, which sounds interesting too. Is there anyone here that has tried both juicing and tacking that can give me pro's and con's of each method? Am I on the right track with what I hope to accomplish?
Sorry for being so long winded, I'll try to hold that in check now that the preliminaries are out of the way
I like what you have done here, the other two sites are wonderful but it is hard to try to sort through 100's of pages trying to find answers so I'm glad I found you when I did.
Super is growing a Blue Blood which is one I'm very interested in....
