Grandma interested in trying Marijuana

Discussion in 'Seasoned Marijuana Users' started by RidersOnDaStorm, Jun 29, 2013.

  1. Alright so quick history of me, my sister and I were raised by my grandparents on my father's side. Sister moved out got married and has 2 kids. I decided to stay put and help take care of my grandparents since they raised us. I started smoking when I was a Junior in high school, I'll be 24 this year. Got caught smoking a few times and boy they felt like it was the worst thing I could do lol.

    So I started to tell them my reasons I smoke and the REAL truth behind MJ and now my grandma is interested in trying some marijuana for pain, arthritis, joint pain, nerve pain, appetite and help getting to sleep. She has never tried MJ Her age is 68. I gotten close to giving her some MJ that I've gotten but I'm worried about the time she told me that she had a tear in her artery and her age factor. I tried talking to her doctor but it's a federal type hospital (we're native so we get seen and meds for free) they have no comment on this and suggested more pills :angry:. My first thought was letting her try a joint with ABV so she won't trip out. Should I give her Indica or Sativa or hybrid? I don't have any dealers or friends that knows where to get all 3 types but I will try harder later on, should I give her some dank or mids, schwag? I wish I could find her organic MJ. I don't want to give her edibles until she has a chance to try it out first but if it's fine I can make some for her.

    Also I will be getting a SSV for myself and let her use it too.

    So anyone has any advice on how I should go about this? Anybody helped their elders dip their to In MMJ?

  2. well definately not shwag that will just make her feel like shit, and maybe a vaporizer would be more appropriate for her, a jay would be to harsh for a first time smoker. if not maybe a bong rip and indica or sativa is up to you although for her first time a indica would most likely put her to sleep easily. Good luck to your grandma!!! :smoke:
     
  3. I added schwag because if she can handle a smokey casino better than I can she might be able to handle a joint lol. I forgot about a bong and throwing some ice or really warm water will make it smooth for her, I'll borrow one from my younger half brother. But what about the rapid heart rate? I don't want it to doany damage but I kinda doubt it, better safe than sorry though. I'll look around GC for tips to help reduce or prevent rapid heart rate. Any other tips you blades have for a grandma's first time?

  4. My gma smoked cigs. So for her first time I got one if the one hitter pipes that looks like a cig. Packed a small one for her and I just told her to smoke it like a cig. In hale and exhale rather quick. Don't hold it in. She loves it now and I make her edibles and shit and she digs them
     
  5. If yo grandma 68 and didn't smoke dope in the 60's and 70's she's got a lot of catching up to do
     
  6. If she ever smoked cigs, I'd roll her up a J, otherwise some edibles might be good, or vaping would be even better. A bong rip would probably have her hacking away and knocked on her ass lol
     
  7. Dont ruin it for her and get her to high, start out small with a puff.
     
  8. Watch Grandma's Boy.

    I will sell my soul to the devil to have you as my personal chef....
     
  10. try to find a topical lotion for her to try first.the pain relief could be no better than a lotion/topical.  also the reefer does get in your system and you do get a nice relaxing high. usually i find if you double or triple dose an area you find yourself napping and can wake up a few hours later still baked and can even wake up slightly hung over. with the lotion a small amount goes a long ways.  introduce her this way then later see if she would like to burn one. good luck with gma.
     
  11. Wow this answers everything and then some, I don't think I could find this sort of information by myself thank you so much for going beyond the call to help me & my grandma out. After I get my laptop a new power cord I'll hook it up to the Tv and let her watch and learn. Yes she is very behind with the times but better late than never (she seemed pissed when I told her how she fell for that Reefer Madness propaganda lol) . I would grow for her after she's had a try with MJ since we have land out in the boonies were we used to have cattle when I was younger along with a windmill to pump ground water.and I heard some about the topical creams and would love to make some for her along with some oil like olive oil vegetable oil or coconut oil in a little glass vile so she can pour it onto her food in public or on the go. I'm so glad I joined Grasscity and how very helpful This community has been. Thank you all for your help and I will still read any other's tips and advice.

  12. I read this thread with a MASSIVE smile on my face, it's super cool your grandma wants to try it. If she wants to try it let her have the odd puff on a joint whilst you smoke the majority and see what it's like. I would recommend an indica because a head high might be more likely to cause rapid thoughts/paranonia? And mids because dank would be way too much and nobody wants to smoke shwag :). Wait until you get some nicely cured mids and goodluck.
