You have posted "oil" information that has helped me dramatically with severe pain from a degenerative neuropathic disease, so thank you Sue. The last 13 years I've had several Neurostimulator implants, injections, nerve Ablations and more, all that worked a little, but I still had excruciating pain days for no apparent reason. On one particular weekend I was in a fetal position in bed, my son came in and says "It's so hard to watch you in pain dad, it's breaks my heart" - Tears were welling up in his eyes. "I know you hate marijuana but this may help, he printed out info from Dr Gupta and other sources and produced a joint. He did his homework. Prior to this, I had not been a proponent of legalizing weed, I had tried it in college and felt warm and tingly and a bad experience happened that made me wish I hadn't been stoned, I got a call that my father had a heart attack and may not make it. He lived, but I swore that was the last time I would ever do it. Back to my son, I could see that seeing me in pain was causing him anguish. Anyway, I resisted, while he lit up I kept saying "no way", then I will never forget look on his face and how it affected him to see me anguish in pain. I had never considered the affect of my chronic pain and how it had traumatized my family, how could I have forgotten them? They are my most important. In twenty minutes we were talking and laughing, I had forgot about the pain and didn't realize it. While I was laughing and giggling and he started to tear up again and gave me a hug saying how good it was to see me happy again. It was the best I felt in many years, maybe ever.
The affects of chronic pain are devasting to an entire family and I had being selfish by clinging to old principals and the lies they were based on. So, I since started on a quest to find the truth and what works for me, I found that different strains, THC and constituent components, are variable in how your body's pain receptors react to it. so, I thought I found the right strain but the product variability from dispensary to dispensary made it impossible to have a consistant product, I think they saw me coming. So, I bought a magical butter machine so process is same, since it only takes large quantities of weed to make a recipe, experimentation gets expensive and frustrating. Some strains actually made me focus on the pain more. I found that medicating with bud oil and warm coconut oil shot works well for me. I am not in a position to grow so I must rely on recommendations or "test results" from dispensaries I buy meds from. The more I learn the more health concerns I have about what weed I am putting into my body, pesticides and growth fertilizers?. I am consistent with how I take them but still get huge differences in product quality, which is a biggie, a crappy ounce means more pain, expense and floor sweepings. You can't rely on reviews since so many people like free weed more than truth. Are there ways to try minimize variability, It says medical and tested but I don't see many results than THC and Terps.
Sorry for the novel, I stated out wanting to express a heartfelt Thank You Sue! for the information. You sharing this information bettered the quality of my life and those around me.
Best,
I thought about this some more and that's what I'm going to do today, after drenches, or during drenches. 
It can be a bit frustrating in the beginning. Sometimes it's so busy in here that things get missed. You'll need 50 posts before you can PM, I believe. Until then, I beg of you to be patient with us and ask again. 
I'll add your name to the list of lab rats resetting the emotional tone. In the case of cancer I believe this step may be indispensable.
