SweetSue's Cannabis Oil Study Hall

[Oldbear]

I have a couple of questions (all cannabis related but not necessarily oil-related -- I hope that's okay). As far as I know:


1. Is hashish oil a form of CCO? Could it be used interchangeably? Hash is pressed kief. So yes hash oil is the same as CCO.


2. My boss' 8-year-old golden retriever has just been diagnosed with a rare form of bone marrow cancer. Are there any cannabis treatments for dogs that could potentially save her life? Maybe they would help, but bone marrow is a tough one. Some of the cbd companies advertise meds for pets.


3. What do people with MMJ licences do when they're travelling by plane? Do you take your medicine with you or do you have to resort to over the counter medication? All the LP sites plus Health Canada advise to not take it anywhere. I would contact border services at country of interest to be ask if there is a 'permission to carry and use' process.


4. When talking measurements, what does "cc" mean, e.g. "2 cc's CCO + 32 cc's of Olive Oil + 8 cc's of liquid Lecithin"? According to mr google, cc (cubic centimetre) and ml are identical. All recipes are just ratios so any recipe can use any units of measure. Drops, teaspoons, cups (thats allota brownies) One thing I like to figure out is the thc and cbd volume in any solution. Real example cco from A: 300 mg cbd in 1 ml solution @ $70 vs B: 200 mg cbd in 3 ml solution @ $55.

Hope this helps.

Thank you, GG (and New B).

1. My husband made the hash oil using a solvent, isopropyl alcohol, I think. That's why I asked.

2. Do you have links to any articles that I could share with my boss? I believe you when you say RSO will work with dogs but he'll want more info.

3. Re the law and travelling with MMJ, I kind of knew that but I guess I just wanted to know what people dependent on MMJ do when they travel? Do they travel? (because that would be one way of dealing with it -- just stay home)

4. Thanks for the info on cc = ml. Didn't know that one.

1. Part 1. Sort of. Part 2. Potentially, but it may require alcohol and filtering, or heat if you are looking for something edible.

2. CCO in the form of RSO (heat decarbed cannabis oil) has been known to work for animals just as much as people. The dosing should be tapered back considering the dog's weight. Start off with small amounts and work up, just like with people. You can even get away with offering the dog a roach daily. If nothing else, CCO or the daily roach, will help the dog be more comfortable.

3. It is not legal to travel across state or country boarders, sometimes even city, with cannabis, period. For me, I must obey the law.

4. Technically cc = cubic centimeter which is pretty much equivalent to a mL = milliliter, which is pretty much a gram.

Thank you, Oldbear, that does help.

Allergy...

It seems my wife may have an allergic reaction to some strains. Right now we are using White Fire OG as a daily medicine for her arthritis pain. It works, but it also produces an allergic reaction. She reports throat swelling, the same reactions when she is exposed to ragweed.
She has similar allergic reactions to many of the Kush strains... cough, cough, cough.

But, our last strain, Blaze, caused none of that. (Its too bad its sold out from the dispensary.) And, in fact, it was a smooth mellow smoke (in our vaporiser) and gave quick pain relief, and produced a nice mellow high.

I know, that we have no control over cannabis that comes from a dispensary, so who knows what residual nutes might be in the plant, or, heaven forbid, residual pest control, etc. So, for quality control, we have to rely on the dispensary.

Have any of you folks experienced this type of reaction? Is it peculiar to one stain, or type of strain?

 

[Oldbear]

mdw is very allergic to lots of things. She had a bad reaction - similar to an allergic reaction - to a couple drops of cbd in mct oil. It could be the oil, or something in the oil. Could be plant residue as well. Good luck.

My friend that I help with MS used infused olive oil to help her cat with an oral tumor. The cat was 15 and dying and lived another happy comfortable year. Start slow and build you way up. If you notice any incontinence then you are giving too much and should back off a bit (That from the Vet) . Hope this helps.

I have found mason jars work when traveling by road at my own risk , some cops understand medicine more than some doctors , some don't . Depends on their life experiences !!! Alot are vets who have seen their share of nastyness with no other cure.

Thanks for this info.

At this time in Canada, you can carry meds anywhere inside the country to a max of 30x daily dose or 150g whichever is lower. The product needs to be in containers labelled by the LP with prescription on each one.

 

[Danolo]

Well, I just got "legal" to possess cannabis here in Canada. Now I can buy from a Licensed Provider. From what I'm seeing there is not a huge variety of strains. I'll have to choose one and use them exclusively. If anyone has any experience with Canadian LP's I'd be glad to get a PM.

to 420 Magazine Anchutz. I trust youre finding your way around? If we can be of any assistance please don't hesitate to ask.

The science of vaping is growing. We already know the boiling point of the terpenes. If your cannabis is tested you know the terpene profile and can plan your vaping routine. We'll be doing what you suggest before you know it. Terpenes are the future of cannabis businesses, as cajuncelt's fond of pointing out. I tend to agree with him.

Hello Sue,

Finding my way around. &$&! it seems the more answers I get the more questions I have. It's all very interesting and I can see how it could be a hobbie of sort at some point. I have friends with MS who could benefit so much but they struggle with Christianity and what has been beaten into their heads since the sixties, but I'm working on them. They saw the difference in me. I am curious if you had any experience with oil and using it to tritrate down off fentanyl patches and brain drugs like Lyrica? Since it's so high in THC. If permissible with you, is there a way I could PM you before I have my requisite posts?

Thanks

Every body is different and what works for one may not work for another. In my experience and most cases, high THC oil worked best. Especially in this scenario. Two of my patients who were getting off narcotics HAD to take less of the narcotics because it made them feel the effects of the oil more heavily. It was so intense with one of my patients that he had to cut his narcotic intake in half for the first time in 20+ years. It has not been easy, but after one year, he was able to quit that 20+ year opioid addiction. The person really has to want to quit for it to work, and they have to take baby steps, cold turkey is not advisable. There are many health risks to quitting anything cold turkey. Oh, and whenever taking the oil, blood pressure should be monitored, especially when taking meds to reduce blood pressure. The oil can reduce blood pressure and increase heart rate. Who knows what withdraw can do.

Hey Anchutz, welcome.. you are in the right place.

Don't be afraid to make lots of posts... you'll soon reach 50...

An update on the Bio Bombs...as you may recall, my wife is now treating her Rheumatoid Arthritis with a Bio Bomb that is an equally balanced THC/CBD concentrated Cannabis Oil.

She has only been taking them for 2 days, but she says she is certain she feels better. She does not have that frequent need to soak in a hot tub for pain relief, she sleeps better, and her appetite is returning.

It seems impossible to me that this CCO could so quickly help..... but, I have hope...

 

[HashGirl]

My RA is kicking up something fierce right now in the fingers on my right hand so send me some of them, will ya? Just kidding. I'm glad that your wife is responding well to your new bio-bombs.

This is kind of interesting... My girlfriend ate her first brownie with weed in it. Just a recreational brownie nothing medical or something. She got a massive increased heartbeat and she almost panicked about it. so probably because of the high THC. So, do you think more CBD and less THC won't make her heartbeat go crazy?

Danolo, there's a link in OldBear's signature that will show which Canadian LPs have strains you're looking for which might be of some help to you.

No, not necessarily. I am not sure exactly what it is in marijuana that effects the blood pressure and heart rate. Not so sure it is THC or CBD. There are over 80 known canibinoids and it is not only THC that is a psychoactive component.

The more pure the THC, the more comfortable the buzz is for me, less chances of a panic attack.

Strain can play a part as well. I wouldn't focus on the THC, high CBD is overrated anyway in my opinion.

Just curious, had she ever smoked or used marijuana before? New experiences can cause panic. Even if she has smoked, how about eating? That is different.

Only 1 time she tried to smoke but the second ever experience with Cannabis was that brownie. And I do know that if you eat Cannabis, the cannabinoids will hit you harder than when you smoke it. But when you smoke it, the cannabinoids get active right away because your blood immediatly. Same with simple oxygen but indeed, it could be because she haven't had any experience with Cannabis. I don't use Cannabis either. But I think I will use oil though

GiGi,

I am glad you decided to start posting to this site.

Could I get any any thoughts on how strong you would make a simple role on of rosin and grape seed oil.

My best guess is the rosin is about 75% THC. I have 0.6g pressed now and can make more.

My wife and I have been treating joint problems with a CBD infused oil that we transferred to a role on bottle. The results have been good so far. It is a handy way to apply and has very little waste.

A little goes a long way. So, I would think it should be fairly strong.

Would you add anything else?

Best

2. My boss' 8-year-old golden retriever has just been diagnosed with a rare form of bone marrow cancer. Are there any cannabis treatments for dogs that could potentially save her life?

I use a coconut oil infused Canna oil. I have not had it tested but I make it at low temperature primarily for CBDs. My 7 pound cat is not getting high.

My cat is 15 y/o and has hyper thyroid and other issues ( seizures ) . He has responded well for the last 8 plus months. ( he actually had a relapse when he stopped taking his oil and had seizures) he is now getting 2 drop on his food, and no seizures.

I have also found cannaCompanion made by vets for pets with dosage recommendations. ( a Hemp product)

you can google cannaCompanionusa for more info. I have a package of pills from them as a back up but prefer to make my own. Gotta watch the dosage considering the weight of the furbaby, my kitty is so skinny.

Some more info here on the https://www.420magazine.com/community/forums/marijuana-for-pets.800/
