re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

All is still going well the the Tacking for chronic Lyme Treatment. I've been super busy reading almost anything, as I haven't been able to read properly in about 15 years, from all the Lyme brain. Anyone else think the treatment has almost forced them to change many of their world views? I'm interested in all sorts of history and politics that I have never wanted anything to do with. Not sure if this is just my brain being alive or maybe if the treatment does this to many people? Interested to know if others have had similar experiences...

I've gotten off my blood pressure med and am about to start dropping off my SSRI. My docs are pretty puzzled and I find that awesome and highly amusing.

-Much Love

"patent-pending technological method" is the red flag here. It means we can't do it at home and must PAY the source. Sorry, sounds like BS.

Agree, the future is exciting!!!

Agreed John. That part was disturbing. I've always been disturbed at the idea of developing medical advancements that can benefit so many, but make it expensive enough that only those with enough money could afford it. I put my hope in communities like this one who will continue to fine tune using cannabis until we've figured out how to make it work at ground level, growing our own plants, making our own oil and dosing ourselves and our loved ones. Legalize on a national level and we can all bring our doctors along into partnership with us.

As we progress we'll reach more and more people and at some point cannabis will begin to be used more as a preventative herbal medication instead of a critical intervention.

And unicorns and rainbows for everyone... Sorry but I'm a bit cynical that when there is big money and pharmaceutical involved these things will only come with a hefty price tag.... I'll continue to grow and make my own medicine because there is no doubt in my mind the minute "they" have any control it will all be about profitability and how it can be done easier and cheaper.... :circle-of-love:

I had mentioned to Cannafan that she should grow seeds of her favorite Oil strains, when this country goes legal it will be structured so that you may not be able to buy seeds unless it's from a big business backed by the pharmys and the gov. Making it harder to grow our MMJ & making our Oil. Sorry...........mini-rant!!!

re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

This is important to discuss, the fact that we all know how these big corporations think, gives us a chance to come up with a plan. I've definitely become very weary of what will happen if the medicine is turned over to corporations. Having a collection of seeds seems like a very smart move, and something I will surely be looking into...

And the cheaper coming at a great cost to the patient...:circle-of-love:

I couldn't agree more. It's going to cost big time to use it legally and we don't really know what's in it...how it's made....what the strain is.....they will lie to us, or keep the print so fine you can't read it.
 
re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

Average annual prescription for Sativex in the UK is $16000.00
Can you even fathom what the U.S. government would make that cost?

I'm making all of the seeds I can.
Throw me in jail...I'm growing them and I'm healing myself with my own home grown sources. I KNOW where it came from and what's in it. Nobody lied to me and made me a guinea pig to use it.

Congratulations, your brain is doing what it wanted to do all along....before the disease and prescription meds interrupted. :cheertwo:
Be careful not to stop pharm meds cold turkey, that can cause long term side effects and depending on the med, can be dangerous. Easy does it, and get some professional advice on how to safely wean off them.

I like that you got amused. That's what I like to see, doctors puzzled because you're better and they didn't do it. LOL

Yes important point on the meds, luckily I was never on a very high dose, so dosing off will be pretty easy. I still don't want to imagine how many meds I would be on if I wasn't smoking almost daily the last decade to ease symptoms (all before I had learned about CCO). Im also pretty lucky that pain pills never sat well with me. I know how tough those can be, and luckily they make me paranoid and itchy... But, ya the same docs that turned white in the face when I told them I was going to treat myself using CCO, are now feeling like they have been duped. It's as if I told them there god isn't real or something, lol.

Something we should all look into. That seems to be a driving force around here though, so I like our chances. I've accepted that, in our lifetime at least, it's going to remain a stealthy enterprise. Sadly, the overriding watchword, even in legal states, is "tell no one". Maybe a couple generations down the road..... I'll remain an irrepressible optimist about it.
 
re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

Mini rant....I have been thinking a lot about big pharma coming in to the MMJ space and it drives me to madness.....I am a caregiver in a legal medical state with a model that works perfectly.....I am estatic to be a grower that can provide FREE meds to my patients....they know exactly what they are getting from me and I school them constantly on how I grow organically, no pesticides, and I wash my buds....

Last nite I happened to stay up way late and watch Farm Aid 2015, 30 year anniversary....when I look at the founders, all these years in, who are they? Willie Nelson, Dave Mathews, Neil Young, and John Melloncamp, all legendary stoners...I'm thinking of writing to Willie; the MMJ community would dovetail beautifully into the Farm Aid community to advocate for the local grow small farmer know what you are getting and putting into your body.....

CO has had 15 pesticide recalls in the last 16 weeks for bud and medible products....the writing is on the wall and we have to do something.....

Rant over.

Here is my state, it is $560 per oz to buy "legally" from the dispensary. They are not allowed to "Name" their strains with anything out there. So they may say Blue berry but you don't know the genetics of it. Try making enough oil for cancer or another serious illness at that price!!!! :peace:
 
re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

I have been talking about oil making to my patients for months now, thanks to the research and testimonials from all of you....had lunch with 2 of them last week and mentioned my wanting to purchase the Cusinart electric fondue maker.....both threw in a 20 spot as a donation for a group appliance, which was very cool in my book! :circle-of-love:
 
re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

SG,
Somewhere along the line, some person (s) decided that you only "need" such and such amount of medical marijuana to heal yourself or keep yourself out of illnesses per month....where they could possibly get any kind of an idea what each person could need is beyond my comprehension.
I assume, this restriction is to keep "recreational users" from getting too much weed?

It's all just so ridiculous.

I am NOT looking forward to what our State decides to do with this. I know one thing, it's going to be out of our realm of affordability and I suspect we won't be able to grow at home legally unless we have an extremely costly lab environment with huge annual and start up fees, along with only being approved in specific areas of the cities.
