Yes, please to the book.
THC seems to work for pain based on nervous system issues. CBD can help with pain if it's related to inflammation which then pushes on nerves.
The studies I've read on Alzheimer's all were THC based. That's what originally got me into all of this. My father and his family all died from that disease.
So, based on my research, I started growing to try to offset it for me, much like your husband.
I don't smoke or heat it, but rather chop the raw flower up and stick it in olive oil which I then put on my lunch five times a week. So, for me it's THC-A.
I'm also surprised at your use of CBD for depression. The reading I've done all suggested THC based medicine. Interesting.
As to your CBD as a multivitamin, Dr William Courtney has done quite a bit of research in this area and he says essentially the same thing. He uses the term "Dietary Essential" or something similar.
He claims to have cured his patient (now wife) from an unbelievable set of conditions by daily juicing the leaves of fresh plants.
He studied Cannatonic quite a bit.
I would still question why one wouldn't want to just mix two strains to get an ideal ratio.
After all, few of us are only growing one plant at a time.
- my GOD no, who has that much patience or that small a pair of trimmers? I got completely lucky. I use a Trim Bin to kief my sugar leaves and some flarfy buds so as to extract the trichomes. It's the easiest way to get it I've found, and I get plenty enough doing it with that that I've never bothered with the dry ice extraction and bags and such - that's next. Anyway, when one uses the Trim Bin, you probably know, you have a pile of super dried crap in an open container and you bounce the stuff all around to scrape it against the screen (screens, in my case, I installed a second, smaller one under their 150 so I'd get a finer end product - I keep it all separate by strain when there's enough - I love it and find it as different to smoke as strains of flower are). I might press and sift and do whatever. So the crap gradually breaks down as you do this, and when it gets broken down to a certain point I stop so that I don't start getting green in my kief. But that still leaves a fine dust of stuff in the bin, mostly on the bottom. The last step I take, and this is why I was able to do the red hair thing, is that I "toss" the Trim Bin - like you would toss the shrimp in a frying pan kind of thing, where the pile actually goes in the air a little above the screen and falls back down onto it. That gets the last of the stubborn trichs. And usually I do it without making a mess. Not so this time. When I moved the tray out of the way I found a very fine coating of red hairs all over the space around the bin on my work table, and it's plastic and clean. So I scraped them together and there were enough (think of how many this took!) to fill my party, large bowl that takes three or four pulls to clear. A HUGE hit of straight red hairs. I guess it's not as surprising as I thought that I had never done it cuz who the hell experiences this until you start growing? Lol. Anyway, that way how. If I had enough patience to cut them off my grows would probably be better. Lol.
