The Perpetual Healing Garden - SweetSue's Joyful Return

[SweetSue]

You can, but when I'm using it, I'm usually in bed with a pipe or bong. The flame goes out, but there is still a cherry on the tip of the hemp wick. I never remember to prepare to put it down in the ashtray. It's never close enough. Lol stoner problems. I think that lighter pack that Sue has would be ideal for me. I have huge man hands (seriously freakishly large like Lana on Archer) and the lighter pack would be manageable to me. I would also bend the wick over just enough so when the lighter lights, it will light the wick too. Then it can be a one handed tool.

I've taken to using it the way I was using the ball of hemp wick, lighting it separately and setting the lighter down. I really like the way the wick is cooler than the lighter and doesn't taste like butane. I find I like the taste of the cannabis better without the lingering layer of butane. Using it like this makes it so easy to extinguish. I should design a modified version. This one's going in the right direction, and for most people I think this is a good design. I need another option.

You need one for those smaller Bic lighters. That would be smaller and more manageable in your smaller hands.

I'm of the opinion that hemp wicks were designed for several people using a candle on a table that everyone is sitting around. Then just add bongs, bowls, ashtrays and some hooch.

I just ordered 100' of this hemp line from Ebay... it will be here on the 6th. Surely I can figure out a way to rig this to be a one handed operation... is the line slightly sticky with that bee's wax on it? would it stay in place if simply wrapped around a bic?

Add a fancy hand held dispenser, and I can see that working very well... but in a living room situation, passing a pipe from the sofa to the armchair to the loveseat... and the candle all the way over on the coffee table... this could be problematic with some of my friends and the way they get sometimes. Open flames scare me.

I remember when we actually rolled the joints with an occasional seed that popped and shirts, skirts, pants or upholstery was subject to a flash fire...LOL. Yep scary

I just set my wick down and use my finger to put out the cherry. Works every time and I don't feel a thing.

I've had the same refillable "pipe" lighter for over 10 years now (a Calibri). There's both a torch and a flame, and the flame points down instead of up (to light a pipe) so it doesn't burn your fingers trying to light a bowl/bong. And, it's a simple click of a button so it's very easy/comfortable lighting it. I refill with Newport Extra Purified Butane which has ZERO impurities.

The lighter originally costs something like $40-$50 but the amount of money I've saved on disposables in the last 10 years has more than paid for it, and I'm sure the butane I use is much cleaner than the Ronson or whatever is in the typical disposable.

Dude, I learn stuff from you almost every time I read one of your posts. I'm scared that if I look at one of your journals, my brain will explode.

Agree! and the same for Sue's topics... brain needs a brake it is info overload.

I was just taught on how to multi quote so it is my turn to give back See in the right corner of my post?
The icon with no text. just a bubble and a + ?
When you multi quote you press that and on last multi quote you want you press the bubble and then Reply with quote

Yay! thanks for the instruction.

I thought the experienced forums peeps might be using a lot of Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, but I did feel that was a lot of work. Having just retired from my career, I thought my computer usage would be reduced, but see what happens when I think?

Works great, appreciate the help.

I know, isn't he just amazing? If we were neighbors he'd be staying at my place, plants and all, while they clear the mold from his home.

This is my retirement plan. I'm going to spend my retirement showing how easy it is to grow cannabis at home and use it to enhance your life. Best plan ever.

 

[Dave Groomer]

Afternoon Sue!!!! I will try to send you a PM later.

Thanks, All!

I don't mean to explode anyone's heads and I'm really not that amazing. I am, however, a devoted pot-head!

Don't let them tell you it fries your brain!

 

[SweetSue]

A happy kind of share: I'm putting together the boxes for the next pickup of culled possessions. Three boxes pack and working on a fourth. I've run out of things I'm willing to let go until I move.

I'm already starting to think we might have similar retirement ambitions! I have been growing things for quite awhile so perhaps some experience I've encountered might help someone eventually. I certainly don't want to step on an expert toes as there seems to be an abundance of righteous growers on this site. How and why you (and many others) are helping people learn how to heal and treat with MM is just amazing. I think I have read through all of your journals and several others as well, start to finish. I didn't join as a member until after I had a good feeling about the site and its overall mission.

I do have a few years of experience assisting mother nature propagate and grow plants, and I do hope I can eventually help someone on 420Magazine in some capacity. The medicinal uses of Cannabis is where my renewed interest lies regarding this wonderful gift from the earth. I have already benefited from a lifetime of personal responsible use, albeit all recreational in nature. Alcohol would have been my demise, many in my family have struggled with alcoholism, so I avoided that problem by using cannabis exclusively for recreational purposes. Most ex-coworkers and casual friends wouldn't think I am a lifelong "stoner", but that is exactly what I am! I'm not ashamed of it, although in my youth, it was a stigmatized as a hard drug.

I do have a specific medical agenda in mind for a family member suffering from a fairly rare but debilitating disease. The disease is called neurofibromatosis type 1, a very crappy disease for sure. I hope to help them with MM as there is no cure or treatment options. I have learned much about CCO and it's dosing from you, CCOiler, Motoco420, CajunCelt and several others on this forum. Thank you all so very much for the your shared knowledge and experience, it has been a top notch source of information for me.

The driving force behind myself and the others you list is/was to help as many people as possible find some relief by incorporating cannabis into their lives. There's too much suffering going on. Our hope is to make medical cannabis the first line of treatment instead of the last gasp.

I'll keep my eyes and ears open for any info on neurofribromitosis type 1 and pass on what I find. That's a new one for me. I'd suggest you ask at the study hall and see if anyone there has any experience. My other suggestion would be to look through the medical marijuana threads to see if it's already listed, and if not, start a thread and see who bites. If we can identify some beneficial strains particular to the disease we can begin to work out an effective protocol.

Just passing through on my way to Callanetics and that smelled too tempting to pass up. What're we smoking Jim?
