The Perpetual Healing Garden - SweetSue's Joyful Return

:hugs::hugs: I just got done reading. Good riddance to what sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Thankfully his need to taunt resulted in a warning. As many have said before me, its just a momentary hiatus. Growing is in your blood, and you will grow. Cooking is the same way...an explosion of the senses. Its a fine way to refocus and explore while rearranging your situation...and fresh herbs and maybe an heirloom vegetable or two cant hurt :)

:peacetwo:
 
Having my first go round with canna butter. I purposely didn't have anything else so I could sense this better. I just had scrambled eggs with a fair amount of cannabutter. Mighty tasty stuff, I must say. Better than I'd anticipated, actually. I'm about 30 minutes out now and beginning to really feel it. :battingeyelashes: This'll work just fine. :blunt:

I had about a tablespoon with eggs this morning, at about 10 I guess, and another 1/2 tablespoon at about three when I busted up the butter to jar it up. Those two small doses, butter made from mostly DDA2 and some assorted leaves and stems, carried me all the way until about 8:30 PM. Quite impressive. Even now I can still feel a little euphoria along the edges of my consciousness. There was no let down at all, just a sweet soaring high that I rode all day long.

I'm somewhat stunned that the butter could be that strong. Of course it was made with an incredible amount of plant material, so I shouldn't be surprised. I have 2 pounds of this butter and material to make another batch, although no bud material for the next batch, so it likely won't be this potent.

This was a fun experiment. :battingeyelashes: Tomorrow I'll make brownies with the butter and see how potent they are.

I forgot to post these earlier. These are the colas from the Criticals that I saved for tinctures.

I decided I needed to be a little more stealthy, so I shifted them into the tiny closet, where they can be hidden behind the curtain, if need be.

It's so quiet in here now.
 
Awesome.
Too bad the horn hanging didn't work out... sure looks nice!

That's actually a bow. The arrows are what's directly behind the bow. I'm moving them back out there tonight. I put them in the closet in case someone stopped while I was out. No one's supposed to do that, and the landlord is extremely conscientious, but my BIL has access to the balcony and can easily get in. I didn't think it was smart to leave it all hanging out while I went to my walking club meeting this evening.

I like drying in that hallway. It's open and breezy and just dark enough to be a perfect drying area. I also like smelling them every time I go to the kitchen.

Congrats on your nomination for MOTM. Surprised you, didn't it? :laughtwo: When I was nominated OG hadn't instituted the goat riding. I got off easy that month. :rofl:
 
I have to share some good news. Those of you who follow me know I have a younger brother who's wife passed away right before my Dale did. I'd spent twenty years running as fast as I could to keep Dale alive, my brother's done 15 years of the same frantic run to keep his child bride alive as she battled breast cancer back over and over and over again. It was partly her passing that fueled my entry into the exploration of CCO.

Before she passed my darling SIL hand-picked her replacement. Honest to God, she realized that her best friend was a perfect match for the husband she knew she'd be leaving behind, so she set them up in advance.

I found out tonight that they got married and are on their way to Fiji. Isn't life wonderful? My baby brother gets another shot at unconditional love. Gosh, that makes me so happy. Love will always find a way. :battingeyelashes: :Love:
 
things will always work out in another way:circle-of-love:

Thank you for the encouragement Sara. Yes indeed, things will work out better than they were. I'm not sure yet which direction all this will take me, but at some point I'll be up and running stronger. :circle-of-love:
 
One tablespoon of cannabutter in my oatmeal about three hours ago. Heart racing, extreme head high, everything is "GO!"

Wow! I'd never have thought it'd be this potent. :slide:
 
Just leaving the dentist's with dentures. I think I may be able to pull this off. Not as bad as I'd imagined. Lots of training to be able to speak though.

Weird having all this plastic in my mouth.
 
I was gone for a couple days and holy cow have things changed! I'm half tempted to send you a care package until you get back up and running. Take it easy sue, everything will work out. Oh and the canna scrambled eggs....I'm going to have some this weekend. :woohoo:

You're just too sweet nismo. No wonder she's so crazy about you. :battingeyelashes: :Love:

Don't forget anything harvested early will have clear trics. More heady high!!! :circle-of-love::peace:

:laughtwo: This didn't even occur to me until you mentioned it.
 
A couple interesting things to report. No meeting between the landlord and the BIL, but he did leave a message telling him to settle down or else. I know my BIL, he won't settle down for long, so it's just a matter of time.

I came home with the dentures in, left them in long enough for my daughter to see them and then took them right out. It occurs to me that most dentists don't wear dentures, so they have no concept of what a mouth full of plastic feels like. I can tell you, it sucks, and I won't be putting them back in. Dentures are to make everyone else feel better about me not having teeth. I personally could give a flying leap what other people think. I eat a nutritionally balanced diet and my system deals with it, no problem.

And ask yourself, I meet my next husband and I want to get amorous. Just exactly how does one casually excuse yourself to remove the dentures, to come back looking like someone else? I don't think that idea sits well with me. Quite frankly, in case no one noticed, I don't have teeth, and this person looking back at me wasn't me. Why would I want to present myself as someone I wasn't? I'm not your typical woman, concerned with appearance. I don't really care much how "pretty" I looked, or that they supposedly made me look 20 years younger. It still wasn't me.

Now for news of a completely different nature. I met with the mother of the 13-yr old with seizures. She's been administering the Med GOM 1.0 tincture now for the past week. She has him up to three doses a day, four small drops at a time. We're working up to a dropperful with each dose.

So, you ask, how has he responded to the treatment? Well, he's responded quite favorably. He's still having seizures, but they've begun to soften some, and more importantly, his mood has becom less frantic. I have to tell you, the boy I met with last week was hyper and intrusive in his curiosity. I'm so tolerant of children I hesitated to describe him as such, but the reality is that he was intrusive and demanding. The young man there today was relaxed and laid back. He was taking a short nap when I arrived. :laughtwo:

His mother and I are very heartened. I'm going to make another tincture and make it into an Elixer. We're uncomfortable with keeping him on a tincture made with alcohol, but that was our only quick option.

As an aside, the mother tried the tincture herself and discovered it helped her relax enough to fall into a sound sleep, something that typically evades her.

My daughter and I talked it over and I'm pressing the tiny closet into service for my other Med GOM 1.0 seed. I have to start another one ASAP, so we decided that should be today. I'm not concerned about getting caught growing one strictly medicinal plant. After my talk with the landlord today I'm certain no one's concerned about me. I'll take this risk.

This is one reason I take week or two out samples :laughtwo: Amber is all fine and dandy, but experiencing the range as it matures is so much more fun. :surf:

Instead of Alcohol, why not try VG. I make a tincture with VG that 1 or 2 droppers and you KNOW you got something on board. :circle-of-love::peace:

I'd thought about this, but glycerin only extracts about a third what alcohol will, or so I've been led to believe. I didn't want to diminish the potency when we're dealing with seizures.

I could do both and test them out. That'd have to wait for another harvest of the Med GOM, although the Criticals may work as well.

You wouldn't believe the relief it was to decide to run one little plant. :laughtwo: Maybe I'll follow this one up with something for me. If I need to chop, it's only one plant. I could work with the tiny closet until my BIL shoots himself in the foot again.

I make the VG in the MB2. It is potent!!! Give it a whirl. :circle-of-love::peace:
