I have neuropathy in my hands from chemo. (That's why my name is Rabbi and not, well, look at my avatar and have a laugh) It's not bad now but when I was first healing MMJ actually made it slightly worse. By worse I mean pain started mild throbbing. Most of the time I was just used to it and ignore it, but shortly after dose pain would increase slightly but the throbbing made it impossible to ignore. I don't know why. I have ideas but they're purely speculative. It may be related to healing process. When I had acupuncture treatments I had similar flare ups the following day but it was definitely healing from week to week.

I cannot express adequately how pleased I am that you all feel so comfortable here that you'll share these invaluable pieces of information. It's precisely these seemingly minor details that make all the difference in the digital format, and the absence of these details shared on such a public stage is IMO, the reason the format often doesn't work up to its potential. The "minor" details aren't so minor after all, in the end, and being able to see the whole picture enables all of us to more closely zoom in on the most helpful protocols.

I need a bigger notebook. :laughtwo:

I'm so glad you're on the healing path!!!!

This was exactly my thinking. Nerves can hurt when they're healing. Mine is impinged somewhere in the hip area, so maybe the inflammation relief was bringing life back to it. It was very interesting, and it required more oil than I like to take, but it seemed like such an instant reaction to the oil. Something I haven't felt before.

So fascinating to me :)

I took 3 rounds of Folfox6 chemo before the neuropathy made me stop. I dropped cold glasses, couldn't hold the steering wheel, Coke cans were fun....

Mine wasn't quite that bad, although I lost feeling in tips of fingers. Also lost my finger nails. It wasn't so much the dropping everything, it was not being able to pick things back up that annoyed me most. It was funny too, even then. Once I dropped my change and had to get out my drivers license (no easy task) to scrape coins off the floor! :rofl:

Nearly healed after many weekly acupuncture treatments. It's just the very end of finger tips that lack some feeling. But tonight I'm feeling it flare up again, not nearly as bad as before. I upped my dosage from 80 mg to 135 mg per capsule this week and took double dose because I missed one earlier today. Good news is I'll be sleeping like a baby in a few minutes. Bubba Kush is good for that.:Namaste:

I have yet to find a strain that knocks me out more than two nights in a row. I get all hopeful and end up staying awake all night again. I need to get serious about this and grow something potent. Sleep is more necessary for me than I seem to think.

But I'm yawning now, so on this note I bid you all a good night. :Love:

Thank you Cajun. This is probably the third time you've recommended these to me, isn't it mon ami? Lol! You'd think I'd listen to you finally. :battingeyelashes: :Love:

The ones that catch my fancy are Dark Star or Blue Cheese. Next order I'll make it a priority to get something for sleep. Cutting off coffee at a time before 10 PM might be a good idea too. Lol! I gave up coffee for almost a year and suddenly took it up again. Methinks maybe giving it up was the better choice. One more bag of beans and I may do just that. I'm starting to miss herb teas again. :laughtwo:
 
Sue,

Ive got Dinafem pre 98 Bubba Kush curing for 4 weeks now. I tried it a few nights ago and it works wonders for sleep, for me anyway. It's a lovely strain. Very calm and relaxing. It's like being wrapped up in cotton wool :)

Glad i have another 2 in flower :)

Was debating on ordering a few of those beans. So is the buzz a heavy stone? I harvest the greenhouse seeds bubba kush and it was a very good buzz, but the best i have had in awhile is the reserve privada sour kush A.K.A headband.
 
Hey Sue,
What a great wealth of information you have amassed, thanks. One of the impediments to using Cannabis as a medicine is the wide variety of reactions to a "dose". (This also occurs in prescription drugs and narcotics.) While one person consumes 6 medibles and proclaims it to be very nice, that experience is offset by the next person eating only one or two and becoming relaxed and content to lie in a puddle at the curb (actual event.) Experience, familiarity and tolerance to the medicine also widen the gap in experiencing standard dose results.

Another impediment to developing a standard dose is the variety of levels of psychoactives and other good substances naturally occurring in our favorite herb. The delivery method as explained in the "First Pass" video can also result in wide differences in the amounts of active medicine reaching the targets. While greater and lesser amounts of the active ingredient are metabolized by the liver on first pass, there are benefits to the metabolites produced by the liver that may be even stronger than the reaction to the original ingestion.

I doubt we will ever create a standard dose that causes equal results and reactions in different people. But if we accept the differences and adjust the quantity of the medicine, we should enjoy treatment success.
Happy Growing

Decarboxylation is the heating process to free up the psychoactives through vaporization at certain established temps. There are hundreds of recipes meant to accomplish this natural process but some of those methods do not work. I have a URL of a study completed in which scientists used different times and temps for decarboxylation and divulged which parameters gave best yield. The winner was done in 110 minutes at 230 F.

The herb is heated in the oven in a covered vessel, then cooled. I lightly melted 500 ml of good coconut oil, added to the herb and twice reheated the mixture. A teaspoon of lecithin sprinkled over the top before heating the mixture gives the same benefit as eating it with mango. After squeezing the oil through a wire strainer I took the material left over from the ounce of larfy bud and made a smoothy in the blender. Wow! Knocked me on my A$$ for a wasted afternoon. I take a teaspoon of Cannabutter before bed as a single effective dose for insomnia.

Also the ABV Already Been Vaped herb mixes in with a bit of peanut butter and the peanut oil carrier effectively augments the vape:volcano-smiley:. Waste not, want not.

This is one of the safest and most effective methods of creating concentrated cannabis oil I have seen.
Happy growing.
 
Hi Sue,

For sleep and CCO oil making I would recommend the Dark Star....that's what Cajuncelt recommended to me when I needed some action and it is kick ass.....in following my legal medical state activities, I found that we offer the most fierce CBD strains on the planet:thedoubletake: who knew; we are a very sophisticated bunch in my state that demand only the best....ultimate taskmasters for the grower: lord have mercy...lately I was gifted some cash to a seed bank from a very generous 420 member, so I was thrilled to order 'Cannatonic', born and bred in the great state of Michigan, and a Cannabis Cup winner at least twice that I know of.....happy days ahead to help my pain patients....cheers :thumb:
 
I fancy you running an Inbred Afghani in kit soil. From what I see darkstar is a Purple Kush and Mazar, seems right.
Personally, I want to try some SFV OG, but I am a hippie :hippy:

Cheers to sleepytime.


Shhh, dont tell anyone but I have become enamored with Mandala seeds, Hashberry, Ganesh, Mandala #1.
I say. Dont be afraid of reg seeds.
:goodluck:

Well :welcome: to the study hall hawtway. So nice to meet you. I see you're a new member as well, so a hearty hello and welcome to our digital streets too.

Ha! I went to your profile to determine if I'm speaking to a man or a woman and you chose to use my single favorite response to that sex question. :laughtwo: I think we'll get along fine. Lol!

Thank you so much for the info on decarb. This is the kind of information we're looking for here. For some reason it never occurred to me to use the leftovers in a smoothie. That one deserves a hug. :hugs: I enjoy the occasional wasted afternoon with the best of them.

Would you explain please what you mean by heated the oil twice? What benefit do you believe is gained from what I'm assuming is a cooling down of some sort and then reheating? If you could give a more detailed explaination of the process you follow I'd really appreciate it.

I prefer the liquid sunflower lecithin, and lately, for no real reason other than instinct, I've begun adding half the lecithin at the beginning, cooling at the halfway point and then adding the rest of the lecithin before completing the cycle. Like I said, this was a process that I fell into almost instinctively, so I have no scientific basis for doing this.

Since I can't get my oils tested I have no idea if it makes any difference. My change may be more of a baker's instinct.

If I were treating cancer I'd be incorporating CCO made in the classic style, with an ethanol extraction, for the sheer number of cannabinoids made available in such a concentration, but I'd also be continuing with the infused oils. The additional benefits of the carrier oils and the potential to retain more of the entourage makes their inclusion a no-brainier. The infused oils, produced and administered correctly, can cure cancer on their own. This is irrefutable fact. I'll hold to my conviction that more varied your protocol the greater the chances your ECS can catch up and get ahead of the game.

I don't know about you, but I'm happiest concocting the next batch of oil, regardless of the method. It makes me feel complete. :battingeyelashes:
