i thought i would let you know that my dad, passed away a little while ago, tonight, january 23. they called me at 6pm to tell me.

he had been failing rapidly for the past month, and had completely lost his hearing and was totally blind.

the dementia was extreme too, and he still knew me on thursday, but didn't wake up to know me in the following days.

((((( Mulan ))))) My heartfelt condolences at the loss of your father. And my gratitude that his final demise was rapid and hopefully pain-free.

Love and hugs

Medical Marijauna info needed please.

by damselfly in

i am looking for information on the different ways that medical marijuana may be administered.

i have a client that received a information packet from the hospital that stated he could make a poultice from the herb and apply it to the painful areas, however that was all the info they had.

they are very interested in trying this approach.

Those are beautiful vaporizers, Else! I use mine with other herbs for aroma therapy, too. I usually use lavender flowers at night. Very pleasant.

Actually Castor Oil would be good too as an extractor and carrier as it is skin softening and readily absorbed by the body.

Thats what I was thinking, and it should be fairly easy for them to make themselves. Although the vaporizers sound good, they are trying to avoid the "dopey" effects.

the vaperizor wont help them avoid the dopey effects. If anything It can compound it because they are getting only the cannabanoids, and not all the tar, carbon monoxide and 100 other chemicals released with burning. However, they will use less for the same effects. More efficient use for inhaling. For his needs I'd suggest he locate an indica -dominant strain (northern lights, blueberry, shiskaberry, snowbud(akorn, orange skunk x big bud), etc) and harvest after the trichomes have mostly turned. It has more body effect and less head effect, but it tends to induce sleep. Heat activated capsules of dried ground trim are effective too. Seem to be a little less sleepy (but makes me flat-lined). Onset is 1-2 hours and duration is around 10.. With vaping onset is < 10 min and duration is about 2-4 hours.

Which vaporizer do you have GBL?

I use only at night for night pain from my FibroMyalgia and muscle spasms from Restless Leg Sh*t.

I am a medical cannabis patient in Oregon. There are a couple of good websites www.oregongreenfree.com and www.overgrow.com. The first is primarily a support group for legal carded patients and caregivers/growers (in Oregon) but there is valuable information there. The other site is more "pot-head" oriented but lots of info there, too.

MC - Medical Cannabis - does not have to be smoked to be used. I use what is called a vaporizer... (HerbalAir brand) it heats the herb to a precise temperature (I like 360degrees f) and releases the cannabanoids without releasing all the other toxic chemicals like tar and carbon monoxide you get from smoking. The vapor is inhaled. This is some of the easiest way to control ingestion as the results are nearly immediate and it's more difficult to overmedicate. Other ways include canna-butter and oils used for cooking, even tinctures and salves. The cannabanoids are oil- or alcohol- soluable - NOT water soluable.

I don't think just a poultice of ground up MC will do anything, as it requires a solvent (oil or alcohol) and/or heat (over 250 degrees) to release the cannabanoids.

Salves can be made by heating quality grown and cured MC (trim is just fine - buds are better vaped) with cosmetic or food grade skin oils like Olive, Almond, or Coconut, and blending in cocoa butter to help thicken it. Heated on the stove at a low temperature for several hours, then straining and squeezing as much oil out of the mess as possible. A potato ricer works great!

Long before I started using MC I studied medicinal herbs including how to make and use tinctures, salves, teas, etc. If I can be of further assistance please PM me and I'll give you my email.
