Can someone explain reps to me and how to give them? And Can you do it in the app?
I read a 420guide to rep points but it left me a bit confuzzled actually.

Down below each post there is a bar that starts with "Blog this Post" on the left. Next to that is a sheriff's star, which is what you click if you want to give someone rep points for something you feel is worthy. Like my great post about making the canna salve, or not
Re: Magnus8's Canna Cream - Body Butter - & Canna Lotion Study Hall
Turns out CBD doesn't work as well in topicals as we'd expect, so the professionals have taken to using THCa to counter inflammation. The best ratios I've come across for topicals was 60% THC, 40% THCa, and a minuscule amount of CBD to potentiate the THC. I read recently that they're beginning to look at beta-Caryophyllene as a terpene for anti-inflammatory treatments. We already know it activates the CB2 receptors, the most abundant in the skin, so it might be a good idea to look into strains high in it for use with topicals.
If you use THCa in a topical you need to store it in the fridge. THCa is known as an "unstable molecule", in that it aggressively converts to THC when subjected to heat and light.
I believe that CBD is good for topicals, too. THC targets the pain but CBD will target the inflammation just like if you ingested it. I'm not 100% sure about this. You might want to check with our Jedi Master, SweetSue.

Thanks ITS...
So there no app option to do that except 'web view then, right?
And what are the points for and who sees them? Does the person you give them to see they've been given? Or get notified or something?

Re: Magnus8's Canna Cream - Body Butter - & Canna Lotion Study Hall
The points are an "atta boy!" and get awarded at the discretion of the person awarding them. No rules or regulations exist as to why we award them. It's all whimsy and appreciation.
The person recieving them sees the reps awarded at the bottom of the settings page, below the subscription notifications list. You'll see the last five awarded. Below that is a list of the last five you gave. Each of those lists also shows you the total award points you've recieved and the total points your reps award to the reciepient.
Just one of the ways we show love in the neighborhood.

Don't know about the app as I only visit on a computer but if you get rep points they show up when you visit your settings under the heading "Latest Reputation Received." They increase the number of green bars under your name when you post. They may do other things as well but that's what I know them for.

Thanks both .
I'll have to spend more time in web view (can't use the laptop very much) - there's been many occasions that giving reps might've been in order!
I do love a healthy amount of whimsy. .

Even on my phone I run in web mode. I find the app too limited for my purposes. I travel too quickly to too many spaces on the forums and I'm more efficient in desktop mode.

I made a vg tincture but can't find a receipt for making a cream can anyone help. I'm new to this and have gotten off pain pills and can't smoke eat meds at work. This looked like a great alternative.please help
Not sure if your pain is treatable through the skin, but if it is you can try this:
My canna salve / cream / ointment / balm
to the 
community.I see that InTheShed gave you a recipe for pain cream but here's mine, too in case you want some alternatives:

Hello all,
So I finally had all the ingredients gathered to make the oil I've been wanting to make. I don't really think of this as a butter, but more as a massage oil or somesuch. Whatever you want to call it, it is what it is.
So I took:
25% rice bran oil
10% fractionated coconut oil
10% hazelnut oil
10% sweet almond oil
45% pumpkin seed oil
And added it to 2 ounces of ground, decarbed cannabis. When finished I had 1 quart of mixture to set in the crockpot for 18 hours on low. When cooled I extracted more than 1 pint of dark amber liquid that, when spread on my back, made me look tanned.
Does it work? Wow. Does it ever. Brought my pain from about an 8 to a 2 or 3. Wow. Pretty psyched about tis, that's for sure. When it was first applied it felt almost like one of those icy rubs being applied, but I may have imagined this. I really don't know, actually. Either way, it works.
Best,
Magnus
CORRECTION: I added:
35% pumpkin seed oil
10% grapeseed oil
in addition to the other ingredients.

Great blend of ingredients! Can you tell us the total volume of oil you started out with? 1 quart of mixture doesn't give us the starting amount of oil.
Also, do you know the breeder-stated THC content of the plant you used?
Congratulations - you've been working towards this for awhile

Sorry InTheShed but I cannot give you the answers you seek.
This is my standard massage oil recipe. I make it up in rather larger batches and then store it around, using it as needing it. I just took a jug of this massage oil that I had premixed to those proportions and measured out 1 quart when combined with the other greenleaf stuff. And i don't know the manufacturer stated thc content of the weed i used. It was Pineapple Express used, but the plant wasn't able to live its life to the full. I had to chop it down early, so I don't think it had reached its peak thc levels at all. For thca I also used Pineapple Express, but not decarbed. And for cbd I used Critical Mass. I used a ratio of 60% thc, 40% thca and just a tad bit of cbd to potentiate the cannabinoids.
Does that help you understand more of what i was doing, or does it just confuse you more?
Best,
Magnus

Hey, guess what!
First draft of the cover for Finding Max will be ready mid-November!
WooHoo -- I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it.
Best,
Magnus

No, that answer is fine
I was mostly trying to figure out what your approximate THC/oil ratio was to get an idea of what worked for your back pain and use that as a guide. But you can only know what you know and guess at the rest!
