Decarb & MB2 Oil Dosing Recipe 2.0 - “OILzheimer’s Method”
(Apr 25, 2018 and always updating)
EXTENDED VERSION - BRAIN RAMBLE WARNING
Welcome to my personal and healing world while I go through one of the hardest times in my life and definitely the most challenging. But I must move on and take my health into my own hands. How can I stay awake from deadly sleep called Frontotemporal Dementia aka Alzheimer’s?
This journey is for the brave & courageous and the brain & cannabis.
Because of my condition I make a lot of mistakes and doubt myself, so please if you see amendments required, just throw me a note and I will fix it. I do appreciate the team effort it takes to edit my long winded brain rambles. Thank you in advance.
Why did I create this variation of this MB2 recipe?
My Spect Scan showed that I have decreased blood flow in my brain showing symptoms Frontotemperal Dementia (FTD) which is a variant of Alzheimer’s for young folks. FTD is made up of 4 disorders and is tracked through occupational therapy. My 12 page OT assessment proved the scan to be true and showed the very first disorder contributed to this disease was present. You could say I’m in stage 2 of FTD, imo I have approximately 8 years to live, but I'm going for more.
Therefore, I chose Cannabis as my main treatment in attempt to stabilize my condition and avoid paying over 24,000$ in annual meds. This is the method to my madness, glad you could join me.
I have been on oil since August 2017 and have showed remarkable improvements. Unfortunately, I had some setbacks recently but my momentum is picking up again. Research at this time is incredibly difficult to understand and causes severe headaches for me. Only because things are not obvious to me and I require a long explanation to help me understand, so I have to reread over and over again. The only way I can explain how my disabilities affect me is to say, I’m blind in my brain. Thank you for taking time to show me the way.
Some aspects of my brain executive functions work, and then I’m blank when it comes to social stuff and language skills. Although I believe science has a prominent role in cannabis treatments, I also believe that it has played a part in keeping natural healing compounds from patients much like the medical system has. We must get informed.
Therefore, I continue my research seeking enlightening information in order to keep my mind fresh and focused. This is incredibly hard when I live in the fog with moments of sunshine.
I can’t say this will work for everyone, but it works for me, and that counts for something when I’m struggling so much in everyday life. There are so many purposeful recipe’s out there, it’s hard to choose which one is most beneficial to someone with a Neuro Degenerative Disease, and for the caregivers, who require the easiest, most efficient way to create oil.
You will hear people comment and add to my recipe, just remember, it’s different when you have a broken brain, details are not so obvious, but terribly important. It’s very hard for me to figure out scientific processes, so I did a step by step process that Brain Patients can do themselves without the scientific jargon that sometimes confuses me.
Also, this formula is for people who are starting oil for the first time, low tolerance or require mostly clear-headed oil meds but afford them. If you are a chronic user and can handle stronger doses, then you could experiment and double/triple plant material and that is up to the patient, just be mindful of your limits.
If you do have the money to get this machine, I highly recommend it for patients with disabilities because it has a clean mode too. This will take the guess work and manual labour out of making oil. This keeps me safe and sound.
Please, if you’re going to buy one, here’s a discount and use the word when you checkout “gummybear” so you can save 25 dollars. Every cent matters, this will give you consistent results and you can even experiment, safely, without compromise.

---------------------------
These FAQ’s were created after my first version came out. I worked with so many awesome grower’s here who had different questions and environments to take into consideration. It was a fun time learning from others and I hope I their life is filled with oodles of oil compliments of my brainy ways.
FAQ’s
1. Do I need to use Lecithin?
*NO, you can get results with just the oil and plant, it won’t be as consistent, but you can do it if you’re on a budget and in a crisis health situation. Don’t let the complexity of formulas prevent you from making oil, but you will need a proper recipe to maintain consistent results and to maximize your medicine.
*Lecithin is a natural binder, it's the middle between the oil and the terpenes. The lecithin is a slightly gloopy texture and kinda tastes like liquid cardboard, you add it to the oil, boom, it boosts the absorption instantly. The oil mixes with the Cannabinoids for full absorption. (Thanks Amy!)
*Lecithin is also an all-natural brain supplement medicine. It helps improve the memory
over time. No side fx, treat the brain while you make oil, FTW!
*Like I said before - POTENCY - I use one teaspoon of lecithin now for every ounce of bud/plant material I use to make oil now. The best part of experimenting, make a batch with and make a batch without, you can always add it later, it's just a tad more work. When you're making oil, it's so much fun, it's not really work.
2. Will there be shrinkage of buds/plant material when I decarb?
*Absolutely, my experience is approximately 25% for bud and 50% for plant material, this varies every time and depends on the density of your buds. If you have enough bud, you should put in a little extra to compensate, or not, no biggie. You just want the best you can make.
3. What’s the least amount of plant material and bud can you use?
*Depends on your tolerance. 1 ounce is the lowest I recommend, buts it will create an extremely light oil that is great for people who have brain injuries like mine.
4. What the least amount of oil you can use in the MB2?
*2 cups.
5. Is there a stove top method where I can use less ingredients?
*YES, there is a stove top recipe that is easy to do, but is laborious for patients to do on their own and requires watching over the stove. I highly recommend this method for those caregivers whom can operate a stove top for extended periods of time, which is extremely difficult for me to do at any time of the day.
6. What are the DANGERS?
*Do not set 8 hours (longest time) at 220F (highest temp), you will blow the top off your machine.
*Do NOT smoke OR vape this oil, this is for edible use only.
*Try not initially treat Neurodegenerative Disease with capsules
ORALLY until you figure out the proper dose your body can handle of THC & CBD combined. You could potentially over medicate and trigger anxiety if the capsules contain potent Sativa oil. Use dropper bottles with micro-dosing and figure out your body’s tolerance levels first because neuro disease symptoms can be easily triggered.
7. Do I need to use organic for dosing edible oil?
*Please USE organic if at all possible. There is a big difference in taste and cleaner for your body. The best oil for your brain.
8. Who was this recipe designed for?
*People who have extreme brain symptoms that have been amplified or are getting worse will benefit the most. For anyone who suffers from sensory overload due to brain trauma. This is a LIGHT recipe to introduce your body to healing cannabinoid’s, you may feel a slight uplifting euphoria in some cases. When you have dementia everything is amplified, so a high THC content oil could trigger conditions, we want to treat the brain without triggering our symptoms by using low doses of THC and high amounts of CBD with organic plant material.
9. How do I store it?
*Using jars that will seal, store it in the dark, no air, no light. Some people store it in the fridge if storing for extended periods of time in heated rooms. Better to be safe than sorry, you be the judge. I use my oil up right away so I store it under the counter in a cupboard rarely used.
10. Do I need a glass jar?
*Yes big enough for 16 ounces of oil or 2 cups.
11. How long will one batch last?
*I take oil every day. I use a 29ml/1 fluid ounce dark amber bottle with dropper and refill it weekly. Therefore, it lasts approximately 16+ weeks. Steady life-saving oil that has helped me stabilize my condition.
12. Can I vape WHILE USING micro-dosing oil?
*YES, this is a great way to balance any extra meds you may require to balance out your tough days that can be unbearable. This combo of light oil and vape has been the most successful treatment for my condition right now.
13. Can I vape or ignite my micro-dosing oil? ***NO yikes!
14. Why is my oil dark or brownish when I use this recipe, compared to others?
*The colour comes from utilizing the entire plant consisting of leaves and bud. It’s a great way to minimize euphoria and justifies the costs for growing organic. The taste is second to none imo.
*The Entourage Effect – quoted from article
“To explain why whole plant CBD was more effective than pure CBD, the Israeli scientists surmise, “It is likely that other components (like THC) in the extract synergize with CBD to achieve the desired anti-inflammatory action that may contribute to overcoming the bell-shaped dose-response of purified CBD.
”By “other components,” they refer to the approximately 420 additional compounds, including other cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, amino acids, proteins, enzymes, fatty acids, sugars, and so forth.
As we discuss in our introductory article about terpenes, these compounds not only give the cannabis plant its scent and flavor, but research has shown that terpenes significantly enhance the therapeutic potential of THC (the most active cannabinoid) while minimizing its psycho-activity.
Scientists call this phenomenon in which all the constituents of the cannabis plant work together, “the entourage effect.”

15. Why do you use Extra Virgin Olive Oil for micro-dosing?
*It is enriched with Omega 3 and has a DHA supplement that promotes brain cell generation called Neuro Genesis. Coconut Oil is HIGHLY recommended by doctors as a part of a maintenance plan as well. Please research both and adapt to your palette and body response.
16. Can I ask more questions of you? *YES YES YES – Go Team!
----------------Your ingredient list--------------------
Fresh Harvest or Dry/Cured or Store bought - You could possibly mix your strains to address more than one medical condition.
1. 1-ounce BUD and/or SEVERAL ounces of Trim & Leaves – The more bud you use the stronger the potency becomes. You don't have to have the same amount of trim, popcorn bud and leaves as me, I just wanted to show you how valuable using the whole plant can become if we take the time to preserve our defoliations and trim. All a bonus!
*Please wash your plant material and hang to dry for 4 hours immediately after harvest, then place in a baggie for freezing. ORRR, my leaves were washed as I defoliated my plants and were placed in the freezer for making oil. It was much easier when adding ingredients, saved time. Then I took the frozen bag of leaves and popcorn bud, directly from the freezer and weighed it. That is why the weight seems so high, but it’s really whatever I had in the freezer from this strain.
*IMPORTANT - Try to keep as much as the Crystals in-tact because we need them for the oil. If you’re too rough with your plant material, you may be accidentally washing your money down the drain so be nice to your buds…and friends.
2. 1 teaspoon of Lecithin PER ounce
*You know that Lecithin is used for “Lecithin is a fat that is essential in the cells of the body. It can be found in many foods, including soybeans and egg yolks. Lecithin is taken as a medicine and is also used in the manufacturing of medicines as a natural binder. Lecithin is also used for treating memory disorders such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease.”
*Bet you didn’t know that. Yet another brain aid to help with address Neuro Degenerative Diseases. Why don’t they prescribe this to us in the medical field instead of prescribing brain meds that have deadly side effects? Rhetorical question, just wanted to prove that there are more brain benefits than we know in making healing medicinal oil.
3. 2 cups (500ml)
Organic Omega 3 enriched Organic, Extra Virgin, Olive Oil, to help keep my blood pressure down and start building brain cells at a faster rate than the brain degeneration. Ingredient directly medically recommended by doctors for Neuro Genesis. Doctors can’t argue this. This has a savoury profile when completed.
ORRR
2 cups (500ml)
Organic Coconut Oil that is directly used for headaches, migraines, ALZ, FTD and Brain Cell Generation that Doctors recommend as well for overall mental health. This is used for the sweeter side of edibles too.

Safety Gloves & Sanitary Handling
Oven glove is well loved….
----------------Let’s Decarb First--------------------
Decarboxylation for Dosing THC/CBD for EVOO/Coconut Oil
Comments:
*Use a cookie tray to spread your botanicals out as evenly as possible for consistency, all equal size. Line the tray with foil and place exactly in the middle of the oven, you may have to adjust your baking racks. HANDLE your meds the way you want to be treated, with respect and care. You need those crystals to make it into the oil, avoid heavy handling and wear gloves for sanitary reasons.
Botanicals:
1 ounce of fresh harvest bud – My buds were dry but not cured.
7.2 popcorn bud and leaves – This is heavy because it was taken directly from the freezer, weighed and then assembled on the tray frozen.
6.3 fan leaves – Frozen - This is grossly over-weighted too.
14.5 Total plant material – NOT decarbed
-------------------------------------------------
7.8 ounces of decarbed plant material went into my oil. Sorry no pic to show because I couldn’t operate a camera while weighing my precious meds and filling the machine. I’m a total clutz.
-------------------------------------------------
*I recommend (Decarb first, "230 F for 1hr & 10min”). If you are using minute amounts, please adjust the decarb time accordingly because you don’t want to burn it. Keep in mind, eventually you want the oil to smother the herb to maximize your potency, which is what you want to experiment with until you reach your desired effects.
*To those of you using stalks, although they are totally usable, from my experience you may want to cut them down smaller so you get through the thick skin. Also, you don’t want the stalks to cut through the cheesecloth when you strain your oil. Be careful, avoid using stalks if you don’t have the right tools to do this safely. The less labour to make oil, the less chance of making a mistake. Take any yellow or undesirable leaves out from your mix, you want the best for your body.
*DECARB WARNING – no matter whether you cover your decarb tray in the oven, the smell will fill up your place moderately. Having windows open helps. Doing this at night when people are sleeping is what I do. There are toys out there that do the decarb for you like “Nova” and masks the smell but they are over your budget, nothing wrong with the oven, I use it.
*It’s good you know there are 420 cooking inventions to help people with disabilities like you and me to get the best bang for our buck. If you want to research more you can look up the MB2 as it has MORE RECIPE’s to suit your dosing needs. This is just what I prefer for myself and that most adaptable recipe for my blind brain.
*What does it smell like? - There will a remarkable robust smell coming from the decarb almost like chestnuts when they are roasted, turns the herb into a full body aroma that is not mistakable. Like a properly roasted cup of coffee, the aroma grabs you by the nose and drool commences. You will smell it and it’s devine. That is a great culinary way to know you’ve reached your desired decarb result. The smell travels from your botanicals to roasted herb and that process tells you your meds are ready for your oil.
*How do I mask the smell? I use traditional white desert sage. Place it by the door so you can see if the wind is blowing out the door or inside your place. This sage has NO carcinogens and won’t set off your fire alarm, it will mask any cannabis smell to be a good neighbor. Plus, you can smudge your place the traditional way.
You can buy this online.
---------------------always keep a hawk eye on your sage
*When you take it out, let it cool on the counter, put foil on top if you’re leaving it for a while, the tray will be hot so be careful. Do not put decarb into the fridge for this method. Leave decarb on the tray ready for use.
*The decarbed botanicals do not become hot, they are warm to touch and that’s it. But please wear oven gloves at all times, you already know that, but in case someone else is reading that hasn’t done this process.
*Leaves and buds take different amounts of time to decarb, based on different shapes and density. Make sure your buds are no bigger than a thumb print, breaking it down by hand, because you want the trichomes intact because of the healing terpenes it contains. Preferably, you end up with a crumble between your fingers thus allowing the oil to breakdown this material evenly. The oil is going to breakdown this plant matter even further.
*Here are various stages as I gently crumble the plant material.
*Take out stems and undesirable plant pieces; while leaving the good stuff in the middle to work around.
*My popcorn bud has to be decarbed further so I moved it to the bottom of the tray.
15. Why are you sharing this 420 recipe?
*It’s time to show our grandparents, parents, siblings, friends and even ourselves, that Cannabis should be mandated as a priority treatment plan for Alzheimer’s (ALZ), Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD), & Neurodegenerative Diseases!
16. What’s in it for you?
*NOTHING but PEACE LOVE UNITY RESPECT = Healing
*Stop The Suffering!
*Leave a legacy of positivity behind.
*Overcome my depression by posting research that makes me feel good about myself.
*Save 24,000$ a year by NOT taking on any NEW or experimental chemical meds like inhibitors etc.
*I’m contributing to the world which makes me feel valuable.
*I get to have a voice without having to speak.
*LIFE & LIPS! Hahahaha stop it brain!
-------------------------------------------------
*This is what decarbed bud and leaves look like. Your end result should look close to this shade of brown from bud, and dark green from leaves.
*I like to use the whole plant because of the increases advantages it gives to our overall health, diet and resourcefulness. But if you’re only able to buy bud, you don’t have a choice and it is the best. But as a grower, you can start looking ahead to harvest time and look forward to using most of your plant for oil.
*
THC will address global pain. CBD will address global inflammation, engrave this into your mind. Longer dosing schedules will have better results. BOTH, TCH & CBD are partners as they work synergistically together to address your symptoms. That’s why it’s good to get a strain that has a 1:1 ratio so you have enough of both compounds to feel better overall when you have more than one medical condition without triggering our brain distresses. Of course we always seek to grow the highest CBD either way, but this is a good start.
----------------Let’s Make MB2 Dosing Oil Now--------------------
Comments:
Why do we need this recipe?
* This is my condensed version of all the recipe’s out there to create a LOW potency that can w address our symptoms. I have tweaked it for brain maximum benefit.
*Get everything laid out on the counter.
-LIQUID Sunflower Lecithin
-Organic EVOO
-Sage to smudge and spiritually purify my oil.
*Add 2 cups of organic oil
(If you want to make less then use the stove – top method IMO.)
* If you want a super duper light oil you could totally add more. You’ll decrease the amount of cannabinoids per serving but you will make it last more. That could really help someone on an incredibly tough budget.
* Decarbed plant material picture has been repeatedly posted to help you visualize your goals.
*World’s largest Cheech and Chong joint in this kitchen! HAHAHAHA stop it brain! We’re trying to be serious. Noone rolls joints with spoons anyways. Duh!
-------------------------------------------------
*Add 1 teaspoon of Lecithin PER ounce of decarbed material.
* Make sure your plant material is covered by the oil and meets the “Min” line on the inside of this machine.
*Set your temperature to the middle button which says 160F.
*Set your time to 8 hours for full potency.
*It’s loud when infusion takes place, feel free to plug it in a bathroom and close the door so you can have some peace during the process.
*If you hear your machine wizzin’ and blendin’ it’s started.
*Rest and relax!
-------------------------------------------------
*Your finished medicine is very hot!
*Strain your oil carefully using the Love Glove.
*Squeeze out the goodness, it will be hot.
*Let the oil cool down while you’re cleaning up.
*Feel free to strain your oil with cheesecloth to remove more plant material, but I’m all organic and welcome the plant material that made it through the initial strainer. All personal preference and purity.
*After an hour or so, place your oil in a cool dark place sealed and covered until you need to fill your micro-dosing bottle.
*if you are concerned with hot temperatures, please keep it refrigerated until they are ready to use.
----------------More to think about?----------------
How do you want to dose?
*Use at your own risk, this is purely for medicinal purposes only.
*Be responsible, exercise micro-dosing in the beginning and track your progress.
*IF you are a beginner this recipe is a good base, and you could build from here.
*Start 1ml>2ml>3ml>4ml>5ml, low and slow.
*Try to use 80% Indica and only 20% Sativa for everyday use to avoid triggers. Special occasions and crisis situations may require more or less, listen to what your body craves and responds to.
*Dark Amber bottles with droppers (with oral syringe/funnel )
ORRR Canna capsules with tray and Pipette?
*I will be updating this recipe over time with new recipes and discoveries.
*This recipe is to achieve an uplifting but nearly clear-headed oil for long or short term use. Adjust your recipe according to your tolerance. You may want to use this recipe and then vape if you need more meds. If you are a chronic user with NO head trauma, this recipe will be too light for you.
My best advice to you…”Adjust, Adapt and Move on.”
Thank you for gracing me with your presence, love and acceptance.
