Strains For Brains - A Brain Patient's Perspective

[Bode]

High Lady G,

I thought I would share my oil-making process. It's so simple. But, first the story of origination.
I studied many ways of cannabis oil, and didn't like any of the ways because of the hot oil. I'm too clumsy to play with hot oil. So when reading one of SweetSue's posts, I combined a couple of steps, and eliminate the water. One more caveat: This is not an instruction how-to.
It's just the way I do. Okay, here goes:

4 oz. cannabis flowers, blended quite fine.
2 cups olive oil.

put ingredients into crockpot and turn on low for 6-8 hrs (until bubbling stops). Stir some during bubbling stage. Allow to cool overnight. Squeeze with cheesecloth in a colendar into large bowl.

Isn't that easy?

A little more to the story. That's the strength SweetSue makes her oil also. When she first started making oil, she misunderstood the recipe she wanted to use. It was originally 2 oz per batch. Whatever strength you use, just start out with lower doses until you know how it will affect you.

P.S. The leftover oil infused cannabis still has a lot of THC in it, if you can find a way to use it.

That seems like a relatively simple process. So what kind of ideas do you have for the product that's leftover?

You know....i was just thinking about this place. I was putting things into perspective about me growing. How 6 months ago I'd never grown marijuana. How I had no idea about the healing properties of weed. The different properties like THC, CBD, THCa. No idea.....I can't believe how the people here on this forum give.....without even knowing someone. I'm reeling still. All of this. The support for my friend Z. The wide open arms of welcome and warmth. I told my girlfriend about the MB2 machine that was donated.....she said "pinch me, I can't believe you know people like this".......it made finally kinda step back and take a look at what's happened over the past week.....for that matter over the past 6 months. I've learned to grow weed, I've educated myself on its wonderful healing properties. Friends....... I might be able to help save my friends life. I've gained the respect of some of the best growers in the world, to the point where they honour me with a motm nomination. How does this happen? You know......i have to thank my friend KCCO77 for telling me about this......this growing thing. Encouraging and trusting me enough to show me his own grow; something he kept very secret....and ultimately getting me started.

I can't wait to see what the next 6 months brings......thank you to all of my new friends.....thank you 420magazine!

REPS FOR RECIPE

*That sounds amazing, thanks so much for sharing. Really loved your story, brings such joy to think about making oil.

*I'm also happy to share that I have made a recipe for oil. I'm also updating it from the 1.0 to 2.0 that comes with FAQ's as I helped numerous growers here and took note of their questions.

*What is cool about your recipe is that it gives me an overall feel of the process. I have read it in great depth on SweetSue's threads and have studied that method consistantly. I am liking it more and more. I have tons of questions but again, you said it's not step by step so I understand that I can fill in the gaps myself. Thank you for sharing your recipe. When you read mine, you will see that I absolutely must use lecithin. It's a medicine to treat brains, is a natural binder and amplifies the absorbsion of the trich's on the bud, thus largely improving the potency noticably. If you add lecithin to your mix, I think you may enjoy it further.

*And yes, I will post my updated recipe as it includes the MB2 version for patients, and another version for caregivers.

That seems like a relatively simple process. So what kind of ideas do you have for the product that's leftover?

*double the trouble...hahahahaha

*It's been a highlight in my life...really, this is why I'm here. If I'm going to leave this planet, I want it to be on 420 terms.

*Another day, another 8 hours of study...zzzzz thinking about Z

High Lady G,

P.S. The leftover oil infused cannabis still has a lot of THC in it, if you can find a way to use it.

My oil recipe actually calls for 100 grams of dry buds to 500 ml of carrier oil. I guess that's close enough to the measurement of 4 oz to 2 cups of oil. Sounds intimidating as hell to read it like that. It's mighty potent oil, and if need be, you can make it even stronger. I think the limit everyone was happiest with was triple-strength. The concern was oversaturation with a higher concentration.

 

[Guy Cavallero]

I just wanted to say that the generosity that I have felt and the feeling of family that I have felt has never been as strong in any other place.....and that's my home. You guys are incredible, I love you like no others...
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all!!!

Z is in high demand......well see her any day now lol.....thank you from my family and all who surround us, for making this a Christmas that none of us will ever forget.

 

[Lady G2HM]

It will go down as one of my best holly-daze evah!
You're welcome, and thank you!
Have a great time with the family, so important.

 

[HappyHouse]

Merry Christmas to all!

 

[Lady G2HM]

Thank you sooo much Happy House! Have a green-alicious xmas yourself there. Cheers.

 

[Bode]

High again, Lady G,

First a thanks to SweetSue for correcting me. I didn't mean to misstate.

As for leftovers from the infused oil process, I thought about putting some in our Mrs Tea along with some other tea.

I don't use lecithin because we're on a fixed income, so some frills are foregone.

I want to wish everyone on this journal a Merry Christmas!

*Fair enough, I can see from your point of view how it would be considered "frills." As a brain patient pov, that lecithin is a powerful gateway into doubling the potency of the oil through absortion and it's a natural brain supplement, with such a little amount. In my mind, the lecithin is to the oil, what trich's are to the bud. I don't think my formula would work without it. I believe in this ingredient THAT much. Great discussion btw.

*I was also thinking about your idea and perhaps trying out little personal size crockpots in the future. See there are possbilities everywhere.

*Thank you for letting me PICK your brain...hahahaha No seriously, respectfully, enjoy your holly-daze the best way you can.

*Stay cool Miss Bode!

 

[Guy Cavallero]

Merry Christmas to all of you.....thank you again from all of us here!

 

[Derbybud]

Merry Christmas G2HM. Love ya girl

 

[Lady G2HM]

Merry Christmas to all of you.....thank you again from all of us here!

*Merry Holly-daze Guy, thank you for the support, I'm sorry we have to meet this way, but trauma brings people together, then we embrace JOY (SweetSue made me say that...tehehe). What is happening to me...hahahaha

Merry Christmas G2HM. Love ya girl

*AWWWWWWW, shucks, much luv from the roots of my mission to the CBD in my oil... you make life easier to live for me... I can't ever thank you enough for stickin' around... so reassuring... oh and merry holly-daze to you too.

 

[Lady G2HM]

Even though I don't celebrate xmas, I will join in the cheer. Even though I'm not religious, my spirit is stronger than it's ever been before.

I admit I'm obsessed with my mission. But there are times when signs just hit me over the head till I can't ignore them anymore. For the past 2 months I've constantly seen 4:44 or 4.44 every week, never missing a beat. Well it just happened again. It seems like it's the only time I ever look up at the time. WHY? What is the message that I'm supposed to receive on this special day? Not expecting gifts at all. But I got one.

So I googled the sequence and this is what I read...

"5 Reasons Why You Are Seeing 4:44 – The Meaning of 444
by Willow Soul Heals…

Did you just see 4:44? You were guided here to read this article.

Repetitively seeing 444 is a blessing. Seeing 3-digit number patterns like 444 is a sign that you’re receiving divine messages from higher realms. These messages might be very important to you at this time of your life.

Here are 5 meanings of why you are seeing 444.

1st Meaning of 444: You are on the Path of Awakening

When you see 444, it's a sign to let you know that you’re on the path of spiritual awakening. You have become more aware of the spirit within you as you are feeling the subtle energies from the Universe. The more you start learning about this new path, the more you want to discover who you really are. Are you suddenly more interested in the spiritual nature of things? Are you into spiritual books and people? The number 444 is here to tell that you’re awakening and you're on the right track of entering another dimension on a higher spiritual plane.

2nd Meaning of 444: You are Fully Supported in Your Life Journey

The angels want you to know that they are close by to assist you in your life journey. Because you have free will, they cannot interfere in your life until you give them permission. All you have to do is ask them for help and guidance, and they will be ready to help you. Talk to them as you would chat with a friend, and ask questions about anything and everything that matters to you. Remember that angels love us unconditionally and want to help us, but they can’t interfere unless we ask for their help!

3rd Meaning of 444: You Are on the Right Path, Just Trust

Another possible reason why you’re seeing 444 is that you’re on the right path in your life. 444 is a clear sign from the Universe that you are exactly where you’re supposed to be in this moment of your life.

My advice to you?

Trust your journey, trust the way your life unfolds, and trust that you are where you need to be at the present moment. In other words, 444 is your messenger telling you to have faith and be confident that things are going in the right direction in your life.

4th Meaning of 444: You Are in Harmony with the Universe

Whenever you’re seeing 444, the angels tell you that you’re resonating with the Universe in perfect synchronicity. You’re living a truly harmonic moment with creation, and you’re ready to unravel its deepest mysteries. The meaning of 444 is that you’ve become aware of the spiritual dimension and the energies within and around you. The more you learn about yourself as a spiritual being, the more you will understand that you’re not separated from existence, but you are one with the Universe, always in perfect harmony. And this is amazing!

5th Meaning of 444: Listen to Your Intuition

Once you understand that you’re fully supported on the path of awakening and that you’re unconditionally loved and vibrating in harmony with infinite creation, all that’s left for you is to listen to your intuition.

This is the 5th significance of 444, and perhaps the most important of all.

What this means is that you’ve reached the point in your life where you’re ready to transcend personal limitations, society conditioning and anything that stops you from becoming your true self. Follow your heart and listen to what resonates with you, and this will lead you to your life purpose and true self.

Seeing 444 is no coincidence at all. It is a divine sign from the Universe to help guide you on the right path.
Embrace everything that happens into your life by trusting how things unfold. And remember: you’re exactly where you need to be right here, right now!

All my love to you!"

That was exactly what I needed to read...Angels are so powerful, feeling blessed. Thank you for being amazing!

EDIT: I even spent my 4444 post in Grandpa's thread...

 

[SweetSue]

This is exactly my message: vibrate joy at every opportunity. This vibration aligns you with cosmic forces that're waiting for that frequency so they know the way to bring you greater good and inspiration.

Care more about the way you feel than anything else, and deliberately choose to feel thoughts that make you thrill with joyfulness. Then feel for the inevitable inspiration.

See it. Believe it. Expect it. Make it so.

Spirituality pretty much trumps religion in my book. Organized religion and I get along better in different playgrounds.

 

[Bode]

Good Evening Lady G,

I hope you had a nice Christmas. We did.

Thank you for considering my method. I only want to have interested persons open up their creative mind to try and/or improve. I can testify that it works for me.

Oh, btw, one of my gender would be addressed with "Mr." Hope I didn't embarrass you. Just didn't want you thinking wrong.

*Well said, you've been saying this the whole time and I've haven't really been able to identify with joy. I feel more joy home away from the world. When I leave my house the shiz hits the fan. So it is up to me to find a way to feel joy outside and that is to be with animals and my medical team. They are the only sources that can allow me to feel joy outside my home.

*But then I finally took the time to research why I keep seeing 4:44 everywhere, and paying 4.44 it was just too blatant. Sure enough I took that message that I'm always surrounded by love. I love angels, I think that is just a beautiful way to express unconditional love.

*There have been so many signs coming to me, like the card from the nurse, like the message from 4:44, like the farmer at the ranch with the horses, my medical team, my 420 family, my website, this momentum I cannot undue, it's happening and I'm along for the ride.

*Just know SweetSue, you have really made me feel at home here. Your visits are like warm blankets when you share your wisdom and class notes. I know when you are thinking of me just by the type of posts you share. They are doors to my future, should I choose to walk through. But you know me, I run through doors that are open, as long I can muster the courage daily, which isn't easy, to keep researching and sharing information, it could help a nation. I'm just so vulnerable and exposed, it scares me like blair witch...lol.

Good Evening Lady G,

*HAHAHAHAHAHA omgosh how socially awkward. I was just recently taught to address my brain blunders like this. Sorry, and I'd like to follow up with this , because I love when people correct me so nicely. I love to learn, thank you for teaching me correctly. I love laughing at myself, that made me laugh out loud because I can still be assuming but with good intentions.s

*Welcome to my world of blunders...I will put this on the comedy routine that I'm working on. Making fun of the things I do. Been trying it out on my husband, cause I got some funny ones. Thanks again for being so great about telling me. Very kind indeed. I'm open to your ways MRRRRRR BODE. There I gave you a few extra R's to acknowledge your masculinity...lol.

 

[Bode]

Evening Lady G,

I'm pleased you had a great attitude. And that you got some amusement, also!

Blunders - Well, everyone does, whether they admit to it or not. I've always heard "If you don't make mistakes, you aren't doing anything". Helps me to let go of beating myself up too much.

Have a great night!
