420ians.The first order of business yesterday was this.
And this.
Yes there are still some clear trichs on those flowers. While they are the same colour as an empty jar, they are infinitely preferable.
I hope your weekend is off to a good start!

D-man! They’ll be tasty tasting too Poor Pierogi! Her diet just isn’t working is it? You could try putting one of those Jane Fonda videos on for her.
Hey CN. It’s my first time running out of it. And on the whole, I’d rather not.Is this your first time growing the Alaskan Purple?
I have a couple more of the APs in the flower room already. I’m liking it a lot.
Here, I thought kittens were bad! This YOLO-mental ape just did a BASE jump off a shelf.
Cheers folks
Thanks for dropping in.

Reminds me of the jungle, mate 
so lush!
GZ is a little scrapper, eh? Out at night looking for a brawl?

Either way I concur.I can't tell if you get all this done because you never sleep, or you get this done in spite of the fact that you never sleep! Either way, you get a lot done.

Right , caugjt up mow ffs. Jesus brother stop getting so much done , discover porn hub or something to use the time up !!!. Lol
Some hreat stuff been goi g down in the stable. Light is kicking it , so many girls to run the harem with and lots of oils , pressings and jars half empty too. Seei g the Hulklato always makes me smile so wide it is a nerdness now.lol done hrear things with her but that flowering time is a pain in the ass for us indoors a little. Do seem to benefit from the extra yield though and the hit seems worth it too. Good to see sonmany cbd going in too. Would love to see you totally self sufficient from the snake oil reps.... Tumeric and black pepper caps have changed my whole perception on meds amd work amazingly well too. I have been a lifelong stoner/habtual smoker amd never smoked for health( oxymoron right there lol). Seeing so many of you guys on the medicinal routes and with the cbd ect.... Used to jave me keeping quiet often on how much joy i get just from being a smoker of this amazing teacher plant. My mental strength ( arguable i know with my rabbit hole life bit time will out ...) is down to coping with some horredous life resets and back to square one, everything from where to live to finding a career/finances again , 3 marriages and consequent divorces for 2 , without this amazing plant and the benefits , i dont think i would have. Seeing you guys get so much from it medically too has led me to some good stuff around the endochrine system and some of the original books of Enoch ( pre religious sumarian i think) that brings this plant into existence for our wisdom/health from the 1st belief systems of pre-Noah ( Enochs descendant) . The book has recently been translated since release from vatican vaults and is a fascinating text that had been mentioned in a lot of other religious writings across the belief systems too as "the first book". Not being a religious person at all but spiritual for sure and seeing the use go back to the beginnings in genuine historical terms too , has been a revelation as to why i feel so loyal to this hobby and like others , risk so much to keep it going for a lifetime. Going through journals and seeing how people talk about the whole subject , gives me so much confidence that we all love the plant and its various uses despite the negative connetations that we are made to hide away by. This many non gangster (exc InTheShed obviously. Hint...humans mulch in sheds lol) weed growers who freely share and supoort their fellow growers cant be wrong...bit of waffle powered by GG#4 jar end crustals and shaken off trichs.lol
love the success DD. Wont be a stranger bud. Miss too much stuff.lol

Tested On Animals
Hey 420ians. I have microbatched a small range of homemade cannameds and I want to log a How-To and a little about each of them in case they may be of use to anyone.
They have certainly been useful to me.
I’ve been using four new preparations this week:
1. A topical CBD oil.
2. A sublingual CBD oil.
3. CBD caps for ingestion.
4. Combined THC/CBD caps.
Each is useful for pain management in different ways.
The first and yet somehow least obvious step is the collection and/or preparation of raw material. The biomass. Most of us here are lucky enough to be growing our own and so have a certain amount of control over our inputs.
My base oils were prepared using trim not flowers. Since reading the biomass link above I have been in the habit of treating my trim the same as I treat my flower. Dried and cured.
I dry it on racks over trays like this and every day I turn the wet/drying/dry material over on the top. As I do this, the smaller pieces - the pieces closest to the flowers - drop through and dry first. This is eminently smokable, and a great way to eke out the old jar stock.
Trichome-dense trim is also great for rosin production, btw.
The base materials
I decarbed 30g of DrSeedsmanCBD30:1 trim and 20g of Candida trim. Each was sealed in its own tin foil package.
The temperature of the oven floated around 115-120ºC for a couple of hours. Then the packets sat in the freezer for what was meant to be overnight (this to help ‘set’/conserve terps and aromatics), but it stayed in there six days.
(I’ll keep my donkey woes on the down low, but I was waiting for things to get better enough to get on with stuff. Eventually, when they didn’t, and I did this anyway, of course I rolled my eyes for not doing it sooner).
The base oils
The oz of DrS30:1 was infused in 1c EVOO
and the ⅔oz of CD-1(20:1) in ⅔c sweet almond oil. Organic, cold pressed, food grade oils.
They were double done. 6 hrs at 85-95°C, then left with the oven switched off overnight, then another 6 hrs at 85-95°C.
A little pin prick in the foil seal.
Okay. The EVOO was put to one side while I got to the meat of the drops.
The topical
1g of rosin from dried and cured Candida flowers was decarbed at 90ishºC for about 50 minutes. (When the bubbles stop you know it’s done). I do this in a covered Pyrex cup, then I added 15ml of the sweet almond oil.
1g rosin/15ml carrier.
This is based on Amy’s (@Amy Gardner
) Liquid Light, which is her Candida based topical invention she worked up as a skin tonic as well.As a topical treatment for pain I can really recommend this.
For various reasons I do not use opiates, alcohol or NSAIDS for pain management so homemade cannameds are where it’s at.
I have, however, used lots of these and all manner of pain targeting meds over the years and I can say these stand up well beside the very best of them.
Dr Ethan Russo is one smart cookie, and he reckons cannabinoids are not efficiently taken up transdermally. He attributes most of the effectiveness of it to terpenes and flavonoids. Flavonoids, it turns out are found more in the leaves than the flowers.
Infusing the carrier oil in preparation to hitting it with the rosin is a good way, then, to use excess trim and also help to lift the molecular potential of the mix; aromatics, flavonoids, terpenes, cannabinoids.
I feel the addition of rosin must go some way toward addressing some of the inefficiency of transdermal cannabinoid uptake too.
I’d had a tendon-shortening repair on a hand and a few drops rubbed on it is the bee’s knees. By which I mean pain free range of motion is increased to the point where I am no longer aware of it.
Also
a teenage misadventure left me missing a couple of crucial knee ligaments. Normally not a problem as muscular stability takes care of it. But then I lost 50kg, some of which was muscle mass.Three weeks before making this Candida topical one of my knees dislocated. It’s a very busy little moment to get it all back together when it happens. I’m glad that it doesn’t happen much. Not least because it hurt like Proverbs. Until... drumroll please
Candida drops. I was walking like a chimp for three weeks. I could barely get up and down the stairs to the loft. I was having sometimes a couple of Epsom salt baths a day.Drops on the quadriceps day one. Relief. Day two, visually checking all day whether my arms and legs were still there. Day three, completely forgot to use them.
Something else I had forgotten (until reviewing some discussions with @syenite on these oils. How’s it going, Sy? Only one cut and paste sentence so far
) was some mad dental pain at the time which this worked on like magic.That’s the topical.
Thanks for the inspirado, Amy.
The Sublingual Drops
The same Candida/sweet almond carrier oil.
The same 1g decarbed rosin/15ml oil.
The same happy end to a horror story.
Chronic pancreatitis had been flicking me around like I was a wet tea towel. It had been bad for a week or two, but when I made the drops I hadn’t had more than an hour or two of sleep a day for six days. I mean, taking a deep breath required forward planning.
(You’re doing well, folks. You’re past halfway!)
Drops day one, six hours sleep. Day two, four, which was ok because it was habitual and not painsomnia. Day three, seven hours. I do not remember the last time I slept seven hours. It has been relatively comfortable during the ten days since.
I started titrating my dose at one drop under the tongue every few hours. I haven’t increased the dose. Day three I completely forgot to use it.
It’s the good oil.
It was a privilege to send a bottle to @syenite
for an objective scope on it. (Love your work, homes!)The CBD Capsules
1 tablespoon of liquid sunflower lecithin was added to the jar of DrS trim infused EVOO and stored in the fridge. I understand the lecithin binds to both the oil and cannabinoids and helps to make sure it gets carried as far as the oil can take it.
I’m taking it to keep my ECS rinsed in healthy numbers. So far, so good.
(Nearly there!)
Combined THC/CBD Calsules
160g of pucks from all recent squishes was first decarbed as above, then frozen. Then they were cut up and infused in EVOO. 5.3oz to 1⅔cup oil.
It was similarly double-infused then lecithin was added and after a day it went into the double-O caps.
The first time I took a couple I slept four hours in the middle of the day. That’s another thing that hasn’t happened for an age. I’m taking them one at a time whenever I have my other ones during the day, then two at night. Chiselling away at unlearning new, suboptimal sleep habits.
I’m beyond surprised.
And you’ve read a lot now with no music, so here’s a tune for your eyes to hear.
Cheers

That is a great run down of your exploration of cannameds DD. I am so glad your approach has resulted in relief and help for you. Thanks heaps for sharing that, I have bookmarked it. Cheers mate
