SweetSue's Cannabis Oil Study Hall

[walleye]

How about deliberate sleeping to double the effect never mind that, it just occurred to me that maybe you can talk to your ECS. It seems pretty tuned into my thoughts and I am not working at this. It's getting easier to do this as I go along. Just a positive anything in my head while in a peaceful slumber. Pleasant attractive and effortless with profound results. Hedley Lamarr: My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

It would seem to me, that unless we have the ability to test our bud to determine the makeup, we will have a hard time adjusting our oil without just trial and error. There several different types of in-home kits. It may be something I need to look into.

At the very least I want one of those meters we came across that'll tell me the THC load in the infused oils. I swear, someday testing of cannabis products will be so convienient and inexpensive everyone will do it.

OMG! You knocked me right over with the Headly Lemarr quote.

There are scriptural references in the Old Testament about God feeding you the information and inspiration for the new day as you sleep. I've always appreciated that thought.

Sleep offers the ability to bring the momentum of your thoughts to a screeching halt. Then when you wake in the morning with deliberate intent to play you leave all the negative momentum behind. Think back to before you began the process of engaging the universe in play every morning. What likely happened then was you woke, picked up part of the negative momentum from the previous day, and brought in right into the new day.

It's a human ego tendency. Deliberate waking breaks the hold on the memory banks somehow and allows the new day to start fresh, unencumbered by yesterday's negativity. I'm so enthralled with how effective it's been. With me it took less than two days and I was stopping negative thought and replacing it with positive ones. Now negative thoughts don't even rise up any more.

This is really the most delicious feeling, and that doesn't even take into account the excitement of all this creative inspiration oozing out of me everywhere I go.

Vitamins
It has been at least five years now since my sister died of lymphoma. Paraphrasing, one thing I remember her saying her oncologist told her was, that chemotherapy reduces your immune system to near nothing in order to attack the cancer cells. And, taking any vitamins is not a good idea.

She was rather drugged up at that time and it is second hand information for me. So, I could easily be wrong with this. If I am wrong, it is good news. If it is true, it would affect how and what a treatment would be.

First one with input gets a half a bag of weed.

Joy?
Back in the 60s, 70s, and 80s I read my share of head trip books. Joy and spreading joy is not exactly what I strive for. It is more of a sense of well being. It is the ability to stay above the day to day bull sh*t. When you are there, everything falls into place. A good friend called it "It" and had a rather long rendition on finding "It" and the risk of losing "It". With me, I find "It" comes and goes. Most days I have "It" and I float above the BS. Other days I can't find "It", anywhere.

I made cookies.

Oooo.... cookies! You made my stomach grumble. Hmmmm.... Red meat for the first time in months. I'm remembering why I started to avoid red meat.

I hear you Canyon. What I'm proposing is that there might be a way to rise above the bullshit on any given day and in any given moment. Everyone's going to react - we're human after all, and being human we have this silly habit of infusing events with emotion.

More reason to learn to avoid that reaction, or at least train oneself to get past the negative response immediately.

But what I'm proposing isn't work at all, and to me, this is the beauty of it. What do you have to lose in trying it out for.... say 30 days? Wake up every day for 30 days and simply announce, right out loud

"I'm ready to play!"

with a childlike grin. I want you to mean it. I know you remember what it feels like to play like a child Canyon. That glee....I want you to grab for that feeling when you say it. If you don't try for that feeling at any other part of the day, I could care less, but deliberately grab it first thing in the morning.

I'm coming to the belief that it's the deliberate nature of the action that's making a difference. I always wake up happy. Have done so most of, if not all of my life. Believe it or not, I love life. Waking up happy never had this effect. Within a week of beginning my days with that simple declaration I'd established control of my emotional tone. Me. We're talking about me. I'm still stunned, and even moreso that it's still getting easier to stay in playful mode. I'm not the only lab rat this has happened to.

You wake up and choose to be playful. I can work with playful, can you Canyon? Hang onto the playful feeling as long as you can, without trying. When you lose it, laugh it off and remind yourself that you get to do it all again tomorrow. Then forget about it. Get up the next day and do it again.

I know it's a tough prescription, deliberate happiness first thing in the morning. Lol! That's why I'm being so damned pushy! Take one for the team already people and put it to the test! You have nothing to lose, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at what you'll gain.

I'm hoping the results will spark the conversation that eventually unlocks what's going on here. It's biology in the end, and I'm finding myself studying ionic channels and neural firing patterns. I never anticipated I'd be studying pain pathways from the cellular level or considering the implications emotional tonal control has on your ability to achieve and maintain homeostasis.

I thought I was going to have a little grow journal about my tiny closet. This is much more fun. I need lab rats who like to brainstorm. I need you Canyon. You can recruit the lovely wife, if you so desire. You'll get no argument from me.

 

[SweetSue]

I find it interesting that women understand what I'm proposing instinctively. Tell a woman you're evolved to run most efficiently on joy and her eyes light up. I had a friend on the street actually jump up and down with me when I explained this theory to her. Lol!

Curious.

I was discussing it with a neighbor in the building, a spiritual man. That discussion easily slips into the concepts of divine guidance and divine design, making it easy for him to grasp, but he had no problem grasping the biology. It's just new to him. There's an interesting direction - your ECS as an explaination for the Law of Attraction.

So far no one I've talked to about this crazy theory of mine knew about the ECS. Now they do, and that message keeps refining itself. And spreading, thank goodness. That's a good thing.

 

[Canyon]

Ok, I will walk the path. However, I will not shout in the morning.

My dear friend....

It doesn't have to be a yell. Mine didn't start out as a yell. It became one pretty quickly though. More like a loud giggle. I was pretty joyful going in.

 

[walleye]

thanks cajuncelt, yes I am E&P positive Her2 neg. I am familiar with the effects of estrogen in the role of BC. I am also post menopausal.

Diane thought the no vitamin E thing had to do with it enabling estrogen, will confirm with 0nocology Dr in 2 weeks. Not good Im up this late as it could be a manic high episode. Only lasts a couple weeks usually so we will see if it is or if it is the amazing signs I have received since beginning Sues' deliberate waking theory technique. Either way I could only wish this feeling on everyone. I truly believe Sue has struck gold on this dig, gotta find the motherload. Walleye just a ginny pig in Sues' game of life. That's all I have to say about that Gump.

 

[Magnus8]

I would like to offer something to the thread, and I hope it will be of value to many of you. I do not have it ready yet, though. It is something I have yet to work on.

I would like to offer a recipe for a cannabis lotion that anyone could make with just a few easily attainable ingredients.

I will offer up my professional background to you to assure you that my lotion will be of professional quality. I used to be a soap and lotion crafter as a professional, besides my writing background. Every writer needs a profession to fall back on while they recieve their many rejection letters on their writing, and making soaps and lotions was mine.

I used to, until very recently, own a company that handcrafted soaps and lotions. My company was called "Soaps and Lather" in case you want to verify my credentials on Facebook. I no longer run the website for Soaps and Lather.

During the course of owning my business, besides looking after the business side of it, I also was the primary handcrafter of all the recipes we used to produce our soaps and lotions.

The lotion will undoubtedly contain emulsifiers such as BTMS 25 or BTMS 50, Emulsifying Was, Steric Acid (not actually an emulsifier but rather a thickener), etc. It would undoubtedly contain such wonderful body oils as Shea Butter, Mango Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Fractionated Coconut Oil (not to be confused with regular Coconut Oil), Hazelnut Oil, Rice Bran Oil and even Vitamin E. The lotion probably would not contain all of these oils, but a good selection of them. But all the ingredients listed above, including the emulsifiers, are all-natural. You can choose whether or not to purchase organic products, yourself. All of these ingredients are readily available from a soapmaking supplier such as Safari Blue or others whose names escape me at the moment because it is late at night now.

Maybe the most valuable thing I can offer the group would be to be to act as a resource to them and as a consultant as they experiment with their own selection of oils, for not everyone would want to use the same selection of oils that I would choose for my lotion (many of these oils are interchangeable with other oils; some are not).

The lotions we will be making will be of professional quality and calibre. Beyond just making a recipe and giving it to you, I can teach you how to craft your own cannabis lotion, made from the ingredients YOU want to use, ingredients that will serve YOU best, that will suit your budget and that you will be proud of. And you may choose whether or not to decarboxylate your cannabis. At this point, I do not know the difference of how carboxylated or decarboxylated cannabis will work in the lotion. We will have to figure that out ourselves, won't we?

That is, if you want me to do it.

I now invite you along for the ride.

Hell, I can't REMEMBER to shout first thing in the mornngg and say "I'm ready to play!'

First thing in the morning I'm so bleary eyed and I stumble around grasping at counters to hold myself steady!

To heck with shouting "I'm ready to play." I'm ready to shout, "Where's my damn coffee!"

hahahahaha

Chemo does weaken your immune system it drops the white blood count down to dangerous levels. I'm sure vitamins would ampfly the effects of chemo. I was told no vitamins during my chemo.
It sure don't make since to throw a big old bomb in your system to kill a few bad cells. Chemo goes after any cell the divides fast and kills it. The problem with that is that it also kills some good cells. It also says in your system ten years.
It does work though and the drugs are now more targeted to certain cancers and location.

My final thought on ECS Sue is if it is approaching the spiritual you will never be able to explain it. Like Jimmi Hendrix said about manic depression, you cant explain it, only experience IT. Are you experienced ? Well I am ! Any body see Colbert last nite at the very end ? George Harrisons' gimme love. Wow what happened to music ."Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)"

Give me love
Give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light
Give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope

Trying to, touch and reach you with,
heart and soul

Give me love
Give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light
Give me life

Give me hope
Help me cope, with this heavy load
Trying to, touch and reach you with,

They accused George of stealing musical notes in a certain arrangement but no one could figure how to sue him for his thoughts. Someone once said the least envied thing in the world ( and easiest to share ) is a pleasant day. Rest and enjoy this most beautiful day that has been gifted to us here.

The absurdity of believing you could lay claim to a string of musical notes....... Oh wait..... We do that all the time, don't we? Lol! I no longer own a tv. I gave it away last summer. One of the best decisions of my adult life.

I'll grant that they are refining the poison. I have problems with continuing to make people suffer like that when we have a medication that could be freely available if necessary that kills cells through apoptosis and leave the healthy ones behind. Shock and awe medicine enriches doctors. The paultry success rate should have shut the field down years ago.

Welcome Moe. I'd bet you're more beautiful than the user name suggests. Nice to have you join us. Is there anything in particular we can help you with? Usually, someone with your small post count shows up here first with a need to learn something right now!

What can we help you with?

Sue,

YES! We'll pretend that rebel yell of "WHERE'S MY COFFEE???" is Magnus for "I'm ready to play!!!"

It works for me. The ride speeds up with each passing day. You've been forewarned. This is playfulness on a new level.

That's all I have to say about that Gump.

You can feel it, can't you? I remember back about two months ago when this process began for me, it felt like I had a forest of strength growing inside me. That was my best catch at explaining the feeling. I've always been a strong woman. You don't dance with death for twenty years and come out smiling without that fortitude. But when I started deliberately choosing morning joy first thing every day it caused a mighty shift deep inside that surprised me.

The journey since then has been exquisite. Like you said, I wish this feeling on everyone. I'm interested walleye, did you notice how many days in it was before you found yourself stopping negative emotion in its tracks, and did you laugh when that happened? That awareness that you made the deliberate choice for the first time is another milestone. It took me less than 24 hours. Within a week I'd learned to stop all negative emotional response.

I'm over a month in now, and that stand of trees feels like Redwoods.
