Of course! But you'll have to find your own seat cuz' I gave up on the seating arrangements earlier today. Just don't try to squeeze between Light & Dennise and I'm sure everything will be fine!

The pressure is gone, the blood came out of the weep hole I drilled into the nail. The color is more normal. There is little to no pain in it now. We've had dabs, vape, steam roller bowl, a joint, and some canna brownies today. Needless to say, I'm feeling pretty good all over. Thanks for asking Sue.
Sorry to hear about your finger, Canna! If you were drilling holes into your finger nail to make it feel better, I can only imagine how bad it was!!!
Have another on me!

I slammed my finger at the bottom of the nail in a door. It hurt so bad. The pressure that was building up in the finger was horrible. I put the hole to relieve pressure. Its much better now after I've medicated. I hope you all have a fine weekend!

Good morning Krip... Hope you have a blessed and green day... Montana... Every time someone asks you about that finger I cringe... That had to hurt....
That had to hurt....
My 12 year old son said he's never seen me in that much pain. I've only ever had pain worse than that once before in my life. It was when I had a natural child birth with my son. I can handle pain well, but that was BAD! LolGood morning Krip... Hope you have a blessed and green day... Montana... Every time someone asks you about that finger I cringe...

Good day, everyone!
I came across this article this morning that I thought would be of interest. It's a list of links to 20 different studies that show MMJ as a potential cure for various types of cancers:
20 Medical Studies That Show Cannabis Can Be A Potential Cure For Cancer
Happy Harvests!

P.S. In case you miss it, there's a link to another article there that shows that cannabis can be much more effective for medicinal purposes when we eat it rather than smoking it

Thanks Krip!!! That looks very helpful! I hope you don't mind if I share it with Sue.

Not at all, Canna! I posted it to share!
Also, you were quick...make sure you check the P.S. which Sue will appreciate!
Yes, Sue does appreciate it. Canna, how sweet of you to think of me. 
Good morning Mr. Krip. Nice way to start the day on my good side.

MMJ FOR PHN & PARKINSON'S DISEASE
Something I didn't mention in my original post...
While I stated that I grow for personal use only, that wasn't entirely accurate. My Dad is 80 years old and has several ailments that make life extremely difficult for him including both Postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN) and Parkinson's Disease.
PHN is severe nerve pain that's brought on by Shingles. In most cases, it goes away after a few weeks or months, but in some cases can last years and/or never go away. Unfortunately, my Dad is in that latter category and has had this pain for a few years now and is literally unable to sleep for more than 2-3 hours at a time. Traditional medications do nothing to help him.
The Parkinson's Disease is a whole other issue. He has tremors in his hands that make him unable to do some very simple things which, in turn, make him feel "helpless" and cause extreme frustration and depression. For example, he can't use his computer mouse because his hands tremble so severely, and he can't order soup at a restaurant, etc.
I had attempted to do research on MMJ and Parkinson's but, of course, the research is simply insufficient due to lack of funding for anything that might show MMJ is better than big pharma (remember, big pharma can't patent a plant!!!). There was some research on some similar disorders (MS & Epilepsy), but almost nothing on Parkinson's.
Now, you also have to understand my Dad. He was a lawyer for 45 years and about as straight as they come. Kind of a nerdy/geek type, but always been the best father I could ask for. When he & my Mom were first married (about 50 years ago!), they tried "pot" once with another married couple, and the other woman, according to the story, starting "freaking out & hallucinating".
While they were aware, especially as I became older, that I smoked, we rarely discuss it other than an occasional comment, and I would certainly never smoke in front of them or show up smelling like bong water! I had told them many times over the years that, if she was freaking out & hallucinating she had to have some mental problems to begin with since MMJ just doesn't do that (or, they'd charge more money for it! 
).
That being said, about a year or two ago, after a LOT of "encouragement" from me and a lot of failures from his doctors, he agreed to try smoking some MMJ I gave him.
I was really hoping that it would help with his hand tremors from the Parkinson's but figured, in an absolute worst case, it would help with his depression. In truth, at the time, I wasn't even thinking about the PHN.
Well, the first night he tried smoking, while it didn't really help with the tremors, he was able to sleep for SEVEN straight hours - the longest sleep he had in something like three years!
Since then, he has purchased a vape and vaping before bed has become a regular routine for him. He's finally able to regularly get a complete night's sleep!
He's now become a "true convert" and is constantly telling me and my Mom that I have done more to help him than all of his doctors combined.
Now here's something funny...No one in my family knows I grow, but my dad has become a big proponent for legalization and he does know I grow a lot of fruits and vegetables, so he told me that he wants to make me his Caretaker!
He keeps asking questions about how I would do it, etc. and I just keep telling him not to worry about it, I can get it done! The other night he was asking if I would grow using hydroponics!
Anyways, because I'm a late-harvesting, couchlock-loving, indicaholic, it only makes sense(amilla) that my meds would work well for his pain and sleep.
A couple of weeks ago, I brought him his first edibles. I made him some cranberry raisin oatmeal cookies (I kept some for me, too!) from a mild batch of cannabutter made with the MagicalButter machine and he's now up to two cookies.
I'm guessing to help with his Parkinson's, I'm going to need some good high CBD strains. While I'm aware of a number of them out there, I'm wondering if anyone here has had any experience and or success using MMJ to treat Parkinson's? I'm interested in hearing your experience!

Very thematic lighting in the tent. 
Good morning Mr. Krip, and thank you for that wonderful testimonial. If I come across anything on Parkinson's in my study searches I'll let you know. It's now on my radar, so sooner or later I'll start finding stacks of relevant material.
Your Dad's a hoot. He must be researching fast and furious himself. I think it's thrilling that he wants to designate you his caregiver. There's no better use of what we do (because we can't stop growing) than to see it positively impact the lives of our loved ones.

Happy 4th Krip! Very cool post. Fireworks are just starting so I'm packing a bowl and heading to the back yard. Your leaves are very waxy. Sure sign of health!
