I just wanted to put in an update here on my father's canna-capsules. The Oil Study Hall thread gave me some good suggestions. Here is the update:
Saturday evening I heard from my father's assisted living place and they have reported that my father has taken to sleeping all the time now, like 12 hour stretches and straight through meals. This is after 12 days of 2.5mg each THC/CBD twice a day. I told them to try just once a day in the evenings, but I'm wondering if I might be better off cutting the dose in half and sticking with twice a day. Sleep wasn't the goal here, decreased agitation when awake was.
I decide to cut the dose to a third. So what I've done is empty capsules into a small glass, which gave me 11ml of oil with 55mg cannabinoids. I added 22 ml of olive oil, giving me 33ml with 55mg cannabinoids. That's 1.67mg cannabinoids/ml, or .83mg each of THC and CBD. I filled 36 capsules (because 00 caps are .91ml), and I'll drop them off at his place tomorrow.
Twice a day for at least a week and see how it goes. Titration can be a pain in the ass!
