Hi Everyone,
Sorry for the long delay since my last message, here a few posts/pages earlier, saying essentially that I’d report back about my sister’s condition…
After only one week under the 6 drops of Pakistan Valley (7g of flowers infused in 50ml olive oil), and 4 drops of Medical Buddha (7g of flowers infused in 50ml olive oil) regimen taken every 2 hours, she decided to stop the whole experiment.
The main reason behind her decision is that, before even enjoying any kind of relief in this short week of trial (which I am aware may be too short a period of time to get any benefits from the cannabis plant, especially against severe spinal cord injury induced pain), cannabis impacted her very negatively, as it badly deepened her depression.
With her already very diminished health condition, she is the one who decides what is good for her…
I am not sure at all about what follows, but I decided THC may be the culprit that drove her depression worse.
So, despite the risks (I may be too foolish or dumb stupid), I decided to take the chance to send a Thunderstruck sample across country borders to have it lab tested (HPLC) and know for sure what was its exact CBD content, before processing it in olive oil, as I did with the 2 other strains.
Well, I have mixed feelings about the results Thunderstruck yielded. In the one hand I am happy not to have “sold” it to my sister as the breeder advertises it (1-2% THC / 16-22%CBD), and on the other hand, I am very disappointed for my Thunderstruck plant has a maximum CBD amount of 3.12% and a max THC amount of 22.53%.
Then I have my CBD Therapy that I made a batch of olive oil infused with (7g of flowers in 50ml olive oil) and tested it on myself by taking 10 drops. The least I can say is that I did not appreciate how it affected me. It increased my heart rates and induced feelings and thoughts that were not pleasant at all. It did not make me sick, I could still function almost normally, though I could not focus my attention on anything too complex… The only wish I had at that moment was, I wish it could stop.
All these developments made me wonder a lot about whether I was on the right track with cannabis. One thing is certain though, it shacked my beliefs in breeders work and their real intent when marketing so called high CBD strains (with only negligible amounts of THC), and in cannabis as a whole as a source of cure or even relief.
Sorry the depressing picture I've just painted, but this is what my experience with the cannabis plant led me to find out. I wish I could have better outcomes.
Thank for your help anyway.
Best wishes to all of you.
