How To Make Concentrated Cannabis Oil

Hi Motoco,

Scan anxiety, That is real!!! Yes he does know about the appt. We are in there every 2 wks. No problem with keeping my husband off topic about the CT scan, one of the side effects of that whole brain radiation is short term memory. It frustrates him to have to keep asking questions that he should already know the answer to. He now just leaves all the medical stuff to me to figure out. As far as reminding the Onc about the CT scan I am not going to remind him. There is a good chance he won't remember either. LOL This really is not funny but I have had to stay on top of reminding this Onc about several things from day 1. I don't know if he is like that with all his pt's or just us because he kinda knows me. This is where I tell you that I work in the medical field. (I knew my husband was in trouble for at least a year before his seizures that almost killed him.) I kept telling him that if he had cancer and did not go to doc now, we would not find out about it until it spread to his brain. He wouldn't listen and that is exactly what happened. We had only been married for 2 years when he was dx. So I hope you can understand that I had to work through some anger issues when this happened.

I think I know which blood thinner you were on that lowered your platelets. Was it Plavix?? I HATE that drug!!!! One surgeon even told me it should be outlawed. There is only 1 situation where it might be appropriate to take and even then only for 1 year. The problem with it is it cannot be reversed. I have worked in surgery for over 20 years and have fought to save many patients lives as a result of that drug. Usually a GI bleed or a bleed in the brain. That drug can and does kill people. I will never forget the man that we had on our OR table with a bleed in his bladder that we could not control. The surgeon finally stopped and left to inform the family that he was bleeding to death and we could do nothing to stop it. The docs that perscribe that drug will always say "we can give platelets to reverse it" I have given a ton of platelets to no avail. My husband is on coumidin and is very easily reversed if needed. The possible pulmonary embolism that can form is more deadly than the risk factors of the coumidin which will help prevent the PE. But if he is truly cancer free he will not need a coumidin.

Yes, he is drinking and eating good. And yes, he seems to be feeling better all the time. He is spending a lot of time outside even if just a few minutes doing things. I will let you know if the new batch is better. He is sleeping less hours now. He was sleeping 10 to 12 hours a day. He was always a morning person that would get up with the sun and he is starting to do that again for the first time in a couple of years. He still claims that he is not sleeping good. The chemo left his skin very tender, fragile and thin. This has left him unable to get comfortable enough for any length of time at night. Regardless of what he says, I believe he is sleeping better. So thank you. We are on the right track with that. But you are right. I need indica and am still working on that.

Yep, I hear you about the cost of all these test. My husband would get an injection of a drug after chemo to stimulate his bone marrow to increase WBC. The cost was almost 10,000 for that one little syringe of liquid.
 
Hi Nurse, lol. Now I know how you checked his blood pressure so efficiency when you guys where out in the sun. I picked up on your comment on a previous post when you said 'your right; his heart rate was normal'. When you think about the daytime oil, how it gives you energy, raises your metabolism and not your heart rate is very interesting. So your the one with anxiety,lol (that is not funny, as anxiety in my opinion starts the wheels going to bad health with a snowball effect that leads to many many things as you know). Men don't listen to well do they? Stubborn cusses the lot of em. A lot of women do the same thing also. They know they are sick and do not go to the Dr. How my mother-in-law passes. I understand the anger issues completely.

The blood thinner was coumadin that lowered my platelet count. They had me on Plavix for six months and I flushed it down the toilet. My wife researched the med and found out when you stop after six months most cases of deaths was after this time period. What happened to me was I was getting sores on my legs that looked exactly like the ones caused by diabetes. The veins branching off the arteries blow out and your blood pools in your skin, breaks the surface and a sore starts. Got one leg cured now the other. Its hard for me to sit longer than 5-10 minutes before I have to elevate my legs and do angle pumps to get the blood back down. It is one of the worst drugs I know of and many have died from it.

Your hubbys damage from chemo will heal using the oil, it just takes a little time. I'm sure you have heard of the healing qualities of vitamin E. How it lubricates joints, nails, skin, etc., THC has 10X the amount of what V-E does. Hope he is wearing light long sleeve shirts in the sun or a crap load of sun screen.

Just an FYI the concentrate keeps your blood perfect and the THCV actually clears out clots and breaks them down. I was amazed after using the oil over two years how improved my circulation is. Narrow lower arteries is my downfall and just keeps amazing me how my circulation is improved. Now if I can get this other leg (thanks to plavix) fixed I'll be a happy camper.

good to hear hubby is drinking and eating good. We got him off the couch. Make sure he understands if he feels like napping do so during mid day. Just from a few weeks ago I'm seeing huge improvements. One really has to understand how weak a persons system can get and how long it takes to nourish back. I'll guarantee you if it wasn't for the oil he wouldn't be much better if improved at all.

Now you can understand why Dr.s and Nurses need to learn how the oil works. So easy to use, yet heals so many different things its amazing. It is the professionalism and knowledge of health, but, most importantly a good nurse and dr. instill confidence to the patient. Also it explains your can-do-attitude. A prime example. I also understand now when you didn't want to even post. You know the drill.
Yes, get the Indica.

I have long time friends that are nurses/dr.s. ER Nurses, ER Dr.s and have seen a lot of bad things in their medical career. However when something happens in the immediate family it is a whole different story. We was at a swimming class in the summer with our daughters (about 10 or so), their daughter coming up the steps slipped and fell on her jaw and mouth. Our friends freaked out (Nurses in ER) and the wife and I helped her. They where frozen!

Your going to be a quick study and remember, your next :)

First I will say hello to Canna, BeemerBill and Cajuncelt. Thanks to you Cajuncelt for giving me the direction that I was in need of. Now my question to Motoco... I have been reading and watching everything that I can about RSO. I have been sitting here reading your thread for a couple hours. Only got to page 11 so I jumped ahead to 15 and then 16. Sorry for jumping. I will go back and read what I missed. I have Glaucoma, Diabetes, I have had four strokes, a triple bypass and four balloon jobs prior to bypass, HCV I got from a gamma globulin shot by the Army before Nam in 68, PTSD, epilepsy from the strokes and finally Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Half my left ear is gone and some of my face. Oh yea, I also had my carotid artery cleaned last year. So that's a small part of my medical history.

I am learning how to grow my medicine and am on my second grow now. NLxBB Auto and she is going great. Saw trichomes tonight! My first grow was a Red Poison Auto that, throughout her growing, I was such a newbie that I nearly killed her daily through my ignorance. But through the help from many people on 420 She became a beautiful single cola 22" long and over an ounce. I am getting much better, thanks KingJohnC, Light Addict, Cannafan, PeytonManning and Stumped. And many I have left out. Excuse me for sounding like I am at the Oscars.

Here is part one of my question, are today's Autos good for oil?
Part two of my question is... I was directed to a site NewCure which uses another technique to arrive at a paste similar to RSO. As you can see above, I have many disabilities that could make it dangerous to use flammable carriers and high temps. Their technique cooks the material for 10.5 hours at 180F. Have you (or anyone) heard of this technique? Tried it?

Have you seen the site and watched the video? Is it worth trying? I am about ten days from Harvest and need a plan. I bought the induction NuWave Pro to cook my paste. I think the paste might be easier for me to "tack" to my gum. I need some medical benefit.
Thanks! To everyone.

Hi wildjim,

I'm aware of your time limit. I can answer your auto flower question. I've never used an auto flower so I cannot answer that. I do know when they first started coming out I know a lot of growers who wouldn't use them. It appears they are on a roll now. I just have my strains I use and haven't needed to try them. I've seen a vid on the paste you mention, let me review it in the a.m. and I'll answer asap. All the issues you have are treatable. In this case the paste might work for you (no life threatening issues like late stage cancer requiring a lot of oil). Get back to you in the a.m. first thing.

Welcome brother (he's a fellow vet).
Do NOT waste your time with New Money, oh I mean New Cure.
They charge outrageous $$$ for what essentially is ground up weed in coconut oil.
They've been stump-broke by every credible FECO org there is. They're using leftovers, adding beef broth & calling it organic hand crafted dog food for $75 a 2# bag.
 
Blew my cover didn't I. LOL Here is my disclaimer. My posts are for entertainment purposes only. I am packing up everything I can and moving to Colorado next week.

Hubby actually told me today that he is definitely better and that he slept good last night. I cannot wait to be able to get his med up to proper levels. He is really starting to believe it too. We were at a friends house and they just had to ask him when he is getting his next scan and he told them that I am trying to delay it. Everyone laughed. I was shocked!! They are ready to be my patients also. After me of course. I might be the hardest one to treat. LOL I am so use to putting everyone else first. I never use to have anxiety issues. I was always the cool cucumber. 10 years ago my BP starting rising for no reason. I tried everything to keep it in check without meds. Then it rose to over 200 and I ended up hospitalized. They put me through all the routine test and then did heart cath and said my coronary arteries were whistle clean. I started on 1 drug, added another drug, then 2 more before my pressure got under control. I run a perfect 110/70 now. 2 of my BP drugs are causing my depression. My cardiologist has tried to help with trying to cut them out and use different ones but these 4 seem to be the magic combo for my BP so I just had to deal with the depression. Of course that only got worse and now I take 2 anti-depressants. I take more pills than my husband who has cancer!! I also have a couple other issues that I hope this oil will help. I would love not to take a handful of pills every night. I want that wellness feeling you are talking about. Maybe I should just ask you right now how much oil would I need? I probable only need a tiny amount right? I know it needs to be sativa dominate, but how much? If I start with 1/2 grain twice a day and see how that works and go up from there until I have the results I want? Did I just answer my own question??

I see now that you did say they did not keep a close eye on your levels for the coumidin. That is the one thing I do not have to remind the doc about. He will not let him go longer than 2 weeks without checking his level. He also keeps a close eye on other blood counts that are still a little out of whack because of chemo. Platelets have been running low since chemo, but not too bad.

I bought him sun screen and the stubborn redhead won't use it. And, I try to get him to take naps, he won't do that either. However, he has fallen asleep on the couch. I bought him a very comfortable couch. hehe To bad I have to leave it behind when I move to Colorado next week.

My ex husband had to have those shots, 6 of them total during the process....in the end it was a bone marrow transplant. They had misdiagnosed the kind of Luekemia he had and the chemo was doing nothing more than making the cancer come back stronger.
We were never told when he had that first shot in his belly what the cost was until we were ready to come home from the medical center and they told me they couldn't release him until the shot was paid for. Insurance (blue cross at that time) would not cover it. I had to use a credit card to pay the $6000.00 before I could bring him home. The rest of the shots took up everything we had, property etc. that we had to sell to pay for them. Only to find out later that they were useless due to the misdiagnosis to begin with.

So glad to read that he is doing better! And you need to take care of you too, so you can be your best to take care of him.

:circle-of-love:

P.S. on a side note, the medical team gave him about 5 years of "okay" living after the transplant. He has been using Cannabis for the last 6 years. The transplant was in 2006. We talk quite often, and he is doing great. The divorce was due to his behavioral changes from "Chemo Brain", which is an absolute real condition and completely misunderstood by those who have not been through it.
 
Cannafan, Sad story. I hope all is well with you also. Yes, chemo brain is real. But what is worse for us is the effects of whole brain radiation. When we were told what to expect the doc ended with "we really don't have good stats for after 1 year because most are dead by then" I really did not want him to have it but they were not giving us any other option since his Chemo does not cross the blood brain barrier. We have a truly messed up medical system. I have a lot of stories from being in the medical field but ...........not here, not now, not ever. hippa

Yeah, the hipaa privacy rule. I know it too well.

They did try radiation in the midst of the mess, but he had a heart attack during the procedure. So no more radiation. The bone marrow transplant was the last and final option, he had received all of the chemo that a person is allowed in one lifetime.

I am doing well, when I compare myself to others I've known and been through this with....I have to say that I am doing great!

I'm making another batch of oil this weekend. As 420 motoco says, it gets easier every time we make it. The first time I was checking it every 5 seconds. LOL

Take care and have a great day.

Thanks Brother, you saved me from saying that about New Cure. First off, the man is not telling facts about what Rick Simpson uses. He is anti everclear (nafta light). Also RSO oil is POTENT in cannabinoids. Another fact is when you compare 60 grams of concentrate to a lb. of weed to how many jars of paste? 32 something in my brain says diluted! Might be ok for a PM. Guess Mr. Simpson got lucky healing people, right. A final comment on the paste; who really knows the healing power of the concentrate? How much is really needed for the heal? Does it really take 60 grams for the heal? I can tell you one thing for sure, if you make the best oil you can make it gives you a peace of mind. My issue with the paste is the amount of glycerine used (side effects on long term use is artery blockage). I would rather make the concentrate and blend with grapeseed oil than anything else (how I make my salve). So I am not going to say the paste is crap, I haven't tried it and I don't need to when I have a superior concentrate in potency. As mentioned if the man hasn't got his facts together on what RS uses then I'm skeptical of his statements.

Here is another option; what about a friend making it for you. canjncelt, beemerbill, Canna, budnoob, fghtsmallcell will testify its not that hard. If your bud is good from the start your home free. The tutorial on making the oil seems much more complicated than it is because safety was a primary concern. Just a thought.

Now on to your medical conditions. I had to chuckle when you mention your recent artery rooter, thats how I feel, patch her up and toss me back, lolol. I think you left out insomnia...gotta have that right?

Good news, all is needed; preventive maintenance dose. Maybe 2 grains of rice a day. It will help, heal all your issues. You sound around my age Nam Vet, so it will take a little time for some things to improve.

Things to look for moving forward; A hybrid sativa strain high in THC, Indica (as close to pure as possible) grown full term. Purely for sleep and cbd. Daytime oil and nighttime oil. You can get away with one strain (sativa dominate high thc) and make use as a double duty. But down the road plan on growing the sativa dominate strain, a high cbd strain and a indica strain for max healing effect.

Your on the right track now. In fact the more issues you have the better the oil works. You will also take your concentrate (some) add grape seed oil (a couple of drops) to make your concentrated salve for your surface cancer. When you get your oil made let us know and we will get you on the road to recovery in short order. Better days ahead to be sure. This covers your PTSD also.

Thank you for serving our country Brother! Now lets get you healthy.

Nice disclaimer! So good to see your husband coming around. In a lot of cases most people don't do the oil this long because at the start they don't think its doing anything. Nice job keeping him focused. Now you can see the power of the oil working its magic. Soon he will be a health nut, lmao.

All your going to need is a grain of rice in the day and a 1/2 grain of rice for sleep. This will take care of all your man made meds and control all your aliments. Very similar to the wife and my issues. Watching your husband get better before your eyes is a great testimony isn't it. When you experience the 'wellness' feeling, world, look out! In my humble opinion retired nurses would make the best caretakers.

60 percent sativa dominate so it would like this 60/40 sativa dominate. And yes you answered your own question, lol. Only add a 1/2 grain of rice at night time. Once on the oil you will see why you would never want to stop. Your health will improve so much just getting off the meds.

Thanks Brother, you saved me from saying that about New Cure. First off, the man is not telling facts about what Rick Simpson uses. He is anti everclear (nafta light). Also RSO oil is POTENT in cannabinoids. Another fact is when you compare 60 grams of concentrate to a lb. of weed to how many jars of paste? 32 something in my brain says diluted! Might be ok for a PM. Guess Mr. Simpson got lucky healing people, right. A final comment on the paste; who really knows the healing power of the concentrate? How much is really needed for the heal? Does it really take 60 grams for the heal? I can tell you one thing for sure, if you make the best oil you can make it gives you a peace of mind. My issue with the paste is the amount of glycerine used (side effects on long term use is artery blockage). I would rather make the concentrate and blend with grapeseed oil than anything else (how I make my salve). So I am not going to say the paste is crap, I haven't tried it and I don't need to when I have a superior concentrate in potency. As mentioned if the man hasn't got his facts together on what RS uses then I'm skeptical of his statements.

Here is another option; what about a friend making it for you. canjncelt, beemerbill, Canna, budnoob, fghtsmallcell will testify its not that hard. If your bud is good from the start your home free. The tutorial on making the oil seems much more complicated than it is because safety was a primary concern. Just a thought.

Now on to your medical conditions. I had to chuckle when you mention your recent artery rooter, thats how I feel, patch her up and toss me back, lolol. I think you left out insomnia...gotta have that right?

Good news, all is needed; preventive maintenance dose. Maybe 2 grains of rice a day. It will help, heal all your issues. You sound around my age Nam Vet, so it will take a little time for some things to improve.

Things to look for moving forward; A hybrid sativa strain high in THC, Indica (as close to pure as possible) grown full term. Purely for sleep and cbd. Daytime oil and nighttime oil. You can get away with one strain (sativa dominate high thc) and make use as a double duty. But down the road plan on growing the sativa dominate strain, a high cbd strain and a indica strain for max healing effect.

Your on the right track now. In fact the more issues you have the better the oil works. You will also take your concentrate (some) add grape seed oil (a couple of drops) to make your concentrated salve for your surface cancer. When you get your oil made let us know and we will get you on the road to recovery in short order. Better days ahead to be sure. This covers your PTSD also.

Thank you for serving our country Brother! Now lets get you healthy.

As most people with health issues, "I'll do anything" to get better or feel better. Been there more than once. My wife has been in medical field 40 years and has saved my life three times. The strokes left me really mentally dysfunctional. No short term memory except for pen and paper. But I can live with that. The seizures are really my problem. Can't drive. Most importantly I can't babysit my grandchildren by myself. I am retired so work isn't hard. Wife does everything for me. It gets discouraging at times but we have been in love for over 40 years and married for 38.

I was of the impression that I needed a pound to make the oil and the guy with the paste says 1/2 ounce of bud. I would like to have enough to last two months to grow enough to last another two months. That was and still is my plan. I am not in the position to grow a lot of plants. Mainly I am not in a state allowing me to grow. My PTSD has one main symptom that makes life difficult growing my medicine, paranoia. Not the "everyone is after me or someone is always watching" but one that has the constant anxiety or anxiousness. Hard to control. Most paranoia I know people with is easily controlled with valium or something like hiding in their house. Mine's not like that. I worry a lot I guess is an easy way to explain it. The If then, what? is a good one too.

I have some auto seeds Fast and Vast that are my next grow. They are supposed to be large producers and potent with high thc and some cbd. I will start them in the next week and they are supposed to harvest in two months. My grow now is NLxBB Auto and looks like I might have 2oz when complete in the next 10 days. But I won't have a pound. As you can imagine 2 oz would be two months worth of paste and two months worth of smoke for symptom relief.

As for sleep, my stroke had some positive results. I don't feel the pain as much as before, no pain meds needed. And I had serious nerve damage resulting in phantom pain and neuropathy. Thankfully no more morphine. Was on it for years. Doctor said one stroke in temporal region caused that. I never feel hunger, not good for diabetics. Wife makes sure I eat, she calls from work to tell me to eat. She also made the meal before leaving for work. I never have trouble going to sleep. Before strokes I was awake til 4AM every night. Pain and PTSD were the culprits, I think. But doctor says that temporal stroke fixed/did it. Also gave me the epilepsy.

My form of paranoia keeps me from asking for help face to face with any friends. Most don't use cannabis anyway, so it would be hard to find a "partner in crime" so to speak. Wife won't move and leave our family. So I have to do this oil or paste here and now. Just which one. You have a ton of knowledge in the subject. I understand the "concentrated" part.

The pound of buds amount is my stumbling block. Especially when the paste uses only 1/2 oz per bottle and you can make only 1/2 oz worth at a time. I'm sure you can understand my dilemma.

Thanks for answering my post. I really like the idea of the oil. My wife is a good cook and would try to watch me and keep me from doing anything dangerous. I have the induction cooktop and that will work for either oil or paste. Wouldn't it? I have no rice cooker. It will work outside.

Hi wildjim,

I just reviewed your issues again and I do see you have skin cancer. Its treated topically and not every day. You don't need a pound (wish you had one though so you could have a long supply of oil). You would be better taking less cannabis concentrated oil than the diluted paste. I certainly understand how the volume looks appealing but your taking a crap load of glycerine also.

Does this look more appealing; 2 ounces of bud should produce on average 6 grams of concentrate. 5 grams tacking and 1 gram (blended with a couple of drops of grapeseed oil for your topical application). That could last 3-4 months. Just in time for your next crop. By the time your next crop is ready you will feel 100% better. Also perhaps with a grow under your belt you can plan your next grow to your specific needs. You don't have trouble sleeping so next grow go with a sativa hybrid dominant. PTSD will be a thing in the past. I treated my son for about 4 months for his PTSD. He could get back into crowds and the paranoia went away. So don't be bummed about needing a pound. There are always workarounds brother. That is the route I would suggest.

Boy that makes it sound better. And it looks more appealing and possible. As for the paste, I was going to use coconut oil not glycerine. My arteries are blocked enough. Legs are very painful from PAD I thought, but I take Plavix also. Got spots on leg opposite from where they took veins for bypass. I'll be praying for 2 ounces this grow. I will also try the oil. I would like to try the paste. I would do anything to be able to babysit the grandbabies. My seizures can make me oblivious to my surroundings for long periods and anything can happen to a 3 year old during that time.

My main thing is the dang epilepsy. Doc won't let me be alone with grandkids long enough to babysit. That's my dream, babysitting for my sons. I can't drive and doc said if I get seizures under control he'll let me drive. His main fear is my dying in my sleep during a seizure, he says. I wake the wife all hours of the night with seizures. He tells me to smoke cannabis every visit. My neurologist is a great guy, I asked if he could get me some. He's originally from Cali. He said he smoked in high school.

I can't take anything for epilepsy. Stuff I took caused bad side effects including seeing a cow sized raccoon run down my hall way, and even worse side effects. That is the reason I started growing. I was smoking but my brother, my supplier, passed away August 2012. That's when I had my last commercial stuff. My first grow was a little over an oz and it lasted me until tonight, maybe tomorrow. I have about a week to 10 days left on this grow. Might get two oz. We'll see. If not, I will wait till next grow. I see the cancer doc in two weeks. I'm going to hit her with a ton of questions.

I don't do crowds either. Parties and such are impossible to be comfortable. It sure would please my wife to control the PTSD and epilepsy. My epilepsy does not include grand mal type seizures fortunately. But mine are just as incapacitating and happen all the time. Smoking helps the epilepsy some and the glaucoma already. I started this late in life. I am 64. Wish I started growing when I was on the chemo in 1999. My sons do not use cannabis. They used to, but they are family men now and I am proud of their choices.

Is it possible to make the oil without a rice cooker and just use pots and the induction cooktop?

Thanks for all your help and understanding.

I don't know where the post is but someone ask if it was a deal breaker if he used paste as he already made some. He did say his was from buds only but he didn't make it. He was treating cancer. I have never heard back from him. The paste is an unknown to me. I do know the concentrate. Do the math on the details on how much it makes. It is so diluted to get that quantity the only one I could think of treating if it was a child and then would balk at the large amount of coconut oil being consumed. much more than the weed amount. This will be the last I talk about the paste simply because I haven't used it and have no knowledge about it. That is your decision.

I do know the cannabis concentrated oil will vastly improve your aliments including epilepsy. Will control your sugar levels also and that improves over time also. When I say improves over time I don't mean years, more like months. The PTSD is over quickly because you cannot dwell on things, your mind is active. If you want vast improvements in your life and all the things you want back as far as quality of life goes this is my recommendation. I know for a fact the oil will work for you if taken properly.

Perhaps this reasoning will help; If you try the concentrated oil first and you start healing properly and you see vast improvements in your health and quality of life, life is grand. If you use the paste because it is so diluted potency wise and doesn't heal how it should because of low THC/CBD count what then?

I stopped plavix 6 months after I started due to side effects. Those spots you see on your legs is from blood under your skin (blood vessels ruptured) they start to open up and turn into sores. You have to wear compression socks. Do you see blood pool in your feet when standing? If so, elevate your feet and do angle pumps applying pressure to your calfs (heart of the legs). The only thing I've found to heal those sore is cannabis oil over the hole and apply a waterproof bandage, change it out every 3-4 days. I've seen some on people that ate holes in their feet. Just like a diabetic sore only from plavix. Your Doc will say they only last a year or so, nope, if they do go away, and they do the scars are there forever. Plavix sucks and was just discussed back a few post.

You can use your induction cooker with an approved pan. Temp should be around 180. Thing is when you do the panning action towards the end when the pot bottom breaks contact with the cook-top it goes off. Which can be a good thing to cool down a tad getting close to finish. Crock-pots are used, cuisinart fondue cooker, as long as it can be cooked outside. Its easy to do brother. Have your wife go over everything with you, in fact quite a few women at 420 make oil. When I learned the first thing I did was teach my wife. If you have an issue again and not able this would be a godsend. You should both learn together. My favorite thing in life is helping vets. But some cannot give up their addictions from the VA treatment process. Honestly Brother your lucky to be around so my guess is you have a purpose. Your on the correct path now, show other Vets how its done. Keep it low profile the VA doesn't take kindly to this treatment. Then no worry about your benefits. Sadly it has to be this way for now. Hope this helps.

Wildjim,
Your wife sounds like a wonderful person. I think I would like her. I was just reading your post and my heart goes out to you both. Thank you for surviving our country and I do pray that you figure out how to get what you need to treat all your ailments. I would like to make a suggestion. I have no real knowledge of the autoplants. The only time I heard someone talking about the autoplants he said one of the reasons liked them was they didn't take up too much room so he could hide them in a box he built in his closet of his trailer. Is there any possibility of growing 2 at once?? Even if you started them a month apart in a separate place to get the new seed started so you don't have to wait so long in between harvest times?? Just a thought, you probable have already pondered this option. Good luck to you and I sure do hope everything works out for you. One last thing. It is really easy to make the oil just like Motoco said. His instructions are easy to follow.
 
You are so right fghtsmallcell, she is the most wonderful person I have ever met and I am so fortunate that she keeps me around. Not even thinking about her keeping me alive.
I certainly have thought about more than one. My reason for growing autos is the speed to harvest.
