Things that make you go hmmmmm .
I've become a big advocate of a capsule regemine. For bipolar the best approach seems to be 3-4 capsules a day of an infused olive oil with a strain at least 1:1, if not 2:1. In this way you establish a continuious supply of cannabinoids to the system. My basic recipe is 100 grams of dried bud or 400 grams of fresh to every 500 ml of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of liquid sunflower lecithin.
All disease, including mental illness, is caused by inflammation. CBD is the chief component to reduce inflammation, although there appears to be great cause to embrace THCa as well for inflammatory response. I learned yesterday that the most effective topicals out there right now are prepared with 60% THC, 40% THCa and a small amount of CBD added. That THCa is to reduce inflammation.
It stands to reason that THCa would do the same thing when taken internally. When you decarb, take this into consideration. It doesn't take 25% THC to get a decent buzz. One could benefit from scaling the decarb back a bit and come away with a more complex mix of cannabinoids. I'm getting ready to try making an oil high in THCa for the daughter.
One of the interesting things I learned this weekend is that CBD depresses the reward response of narcotics, which is why it's easier to kick the opioids when you incorporate cannabis into the withdrawal process. With the epidemic of opioid addiction facing the nation, this is something we should be pushing for from the top down. One has to wonder who's really benefitting from the practice of suppressing cannabis as a drug rehabilitation tool.
Yes the opiode epidemic is nuts especially with all the fentinol going around. Im so thankful that I was able to break free of those chains and consider myself lucky to still be around. I have actually overdosed 4 times in my bout with madness. One of those times I was told my heart stopped for a total of 8 minutes. I was given the chance to better my quality of life and dove rite in. My only regret is that I didnt start earlier
