Mango Haze! Just WOW! Melted the pain and brought me peace. Ditched the Oxy prescription. The nurses and the hospital were a bit surprised at my refusal to take it! I told them I eat iron nails for breakfast. I think I will tell him about my secret weapon when I have my follow-up. I had to go off of All my meds for my auto immune disorders 3 weeks before and two weeks after surgery. My CBD girls are amazing! I am fighting flaring! I historically have a UC/Crohn's flare after surgery and had been unable to not have a RA flare when off my RA meds. I ain't kickin' this old school!, this is NEW SCHOOL! It's time that MJ gets some notoriety for what she can do! It's time I share the results with my Dr's. They are representatives of 3 of the top teaching universities in the country! ... time they start looking at this plant more closely and in it's natural state. Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it!!...literally!!
I'll try for some one handed pics of the girls. They are just growing away without me doing much of anything! Fabulous creatures!
I should be out of this sling by 12/12 time! Yaaaas! PEACE!
You brought a tear Chappy. Hard to do with me, too! I'm a hardened old crone... that has a big ole heart for things that matter. :
:I'm certain we all have a specific role in life and are dealt our hand for a purpose. I think these wonderful plants are the key to unlocking a lot of doors. I intend to be a part of that! The thing that Big Pharma fears, it is a reality. The cat is out of the bag. We know it helps and we know it's safe! The proof is in the results. Thanks for sharing your story! It means a lot!
Maybe some cannabis balsamic and herb salad dressing! YEAH!!
Yer Killin me. I love pestoHere is my pesto recipe. Sub out some of the basil with cannabis
INGREDIENTS
2 cups fresh basil leaves
4 tablespoons pine nuts
2 large cloves of garlic
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Combine basil leaves, pine nuts, and garlic in a food processor. Process until finely minced.
With the machine running slowly drizzle in the oil and process until the mixture is smooth.
Add the cheese and mix only until combined.
This is brilliance and so much easier than trying to make oil. Have you tried this method?I received this helpful info when corresponding with one of the cannabis breeders whose seeds I buy. We chatted on-line when I was having trouble with one of my plants, and I wanted to know more about growing the strain. After sharing the results I had from one of their strains, they sent me this helpful info. This seems to be a good instruction for decarbing too, so I included it here. I decarb differently. If this helps someone, great. It is covered elsewhere, but since this was part of my journey, I felt it important to document it here. Oh, and I'm not a Doctor...I only see one when I have to...and they don't approve of my faith in cannabis to help me with my medical issues! It is important to be open with your Dr about your cannabis use, that way when they see dramatic improvements, they will know why you are blowing raspberries at them in their office like a three year old, and hopping around saying, "I told you so"!
High CBD Capsules
"The pills can last up to1 year in the fridge, without having any changes in the potency of the cannabis. Here is an instruction on how to create easy to eat CBD/THC pills with great results:
You may use any cannabis with THC, but you may experience a more stoned effect. In this case you may want to start with only half full capsules. We mostly recommend indicas or hybrids for pain medicine.
You will need to decarboxylate your bud first. Start with finished cured dry bud and any trimmings/leafs with resin on, crumble it a bit and put in an oven safe container with a lid. Put this in the oven for 300 degrees for about 45 min. This is for 40g or less, if you want to heat more quantity at once, let it bake longer. Everything needs to be heated thoroughly for at least 20 min. This makes the cannabis decarboxylated and the CBD & THC works more effectively in the body.
When your bud is decarboxylated, grind up the cannabis completely and put it in empty capsules that you get at the pharmacy, size 1 or which ever you can get a hold of. Size 1 will take about 0.1-0.2 g. You can also eat it by mixing with food.
For chronic illness, fibromyalgia, MS, post operative pain, etc. Eat 1 to 3 capsules spread over the day in the first 3 weeks and see if the patient feels better, if improvement, continue, if not so much, increase the dosages.
Temporary back pain and smaller issues, 1-2 pills a day and the pain should be gone relatively fast. Also this has worked well for migraines, insomnia, menopause and menstrual pains.
The small amounts generally do not get most people stoned. For a non-smoker, start by taking one capsule at night and your body will build a resistance soon, or just fill the capsules half way up in the beginning.
Our older "patients" eat one at night to help calm them and allows them sleep through the night more peacefully. Many are able to reduce their medication as well, due to less pain in general."
Oh my. Lol
Can these be made with oil?Well...lots going on lately. Preparing for life after my shoulder surgery. 4 of my six girls have been transplanted to 5 gallon fabric pots. They looked a fright. Not sure how long my inline fan had been off forHope they bounce back. I think they will....stupid me. Check, check, and check daily. Ugh!! Made my gummies. Black cherry! They taste good and came out very firm! The are super low dose to start. I can micro-dose with them or just eat a few at a time
. Here is the recipe. It worked great!
Cherry Gummy Recipe
Yield: 160 small gummies
1/2 & 1/3 Cup of tart cherry juice
5 Tablespoons unflavored grass fed beef gelatin
One 3 oz package of cherry Jell-O
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
I used 1 teaspoon of my reduced tincture
½ teaspoon liquid lecithin
I sprinkled the unflavored gelatin and over ½ cup of the cherry juice and stirred with a fork. It got quite stiff. I heated 1/3 cup of the cherry juice and added the cherry Jell-O mix, the firmed up unflavored Jell-O, and the lemon juice. I put on a low heat and stirred until the gelatin was dissolved. To check, dip a spoon in it and run your finger along the back of the spoon to ensure it is. Add your cannabis tincture and the lecithin and whisk it well. You are ready to use it. I used a squeeze dropper that came with my gummy pan. It worked like a champ!
I kept another pan of hot water on the stove so I could place my small pan of gelatin right in it to thin it out from time to time and keep it viscous as I worked with it. I stirred after every dropper full was used. In essence I created a double boiler effect. You can also use a metal mixing bowl and keep your mix over a hot pan of water while you work too. You don't want to heat the gelatin too much or it won't firm up quite right. Gelatin firms as is cools, not if it it is cooked more.
FYI. My tincture was made with 1 ounce of CBD OG Kush processed with 1 bottle of Graves grain alcohol in my Magical Butter Machine2 and then reduced down to 3 ounces of tincture
If my calculations are correct, I ended up with .01 gummies so I can use them as a micro- dose.
Heres a pic. Baby dinos!
I'm drooling here..
Yer killing me smalls. . . .
They are real small...I started with 4 of the small ones...6 was a good dose
