how can i help my mom?

I would say a cannabis tincture ( green dragon) to take sublingual under the tongue... could be titrated for effects.... keep plenty of fresh black peppercorns on hand to use along with cannabis... black pepper has caryophylene in it ( a terpene) that naturally acts like cannabis in your body and works synergistic with cannabis... just grind it fresh to smell or chew on a whole peppercorn... the black pepper is used to alleviate anxiety as well which could save her from a bad trip... it must be fresh black pepper to work and not pre ground pepper

 

You can add the green dragon ( everclear 90 proof) to an edible or warm coffee milk etc... here is a link to a great thread...
Another Tincture Thread - Try it, Youll like it

you will have to experiment on dose... you basically do not want to administer to much in the beginning at once causing her to freak out... that is where the black peppercorn comes in handy as a way to reverse thc psychoactive effects... citicoline is another supplement that is taken along with thc if thc goes the wrong way and causes paranoia..

just one peppercorn chewed on should be enough caryophylene to augment the thc but she could chew on two as well or smell some too along with chewing... smelling is more direct but fizzles out quickly...

the peppercorns are anti inflammatory because of the caryophylene terpenes in it and these terpenes act on the same cb receptors that thc/cbd act on just not directly like thc does etc....

I personally use 7 whole peppercorns freshly ground with the mortar pestle with a tsp of manuka raw honey every morning... it is quite the treat and boosts my anti inflammatory compounds for the day...

sometimes people will use cannabis and not feel any effects then eat a high fat meal and the thc effects kick in because the fat activates the thc.... be careful with that too but generally though, any effects will wear off with a low fat meal that cannot boost thc but having had a meal beforehand could be a buffer too when trying cannabis the first time... again, it is experimental per person and their own metabolism etc... good luck and give your Mom a big hug from everyone here on the board!

edit... here is my fav GC thread....
Cannabis Black Pepper.

edit 2... thc does not convert to cbd... thc converts to cbn (cannabinol) that is a degradation by product of thc... cbn is the sleep compound in cannabis and it occurs when cannabis is old or over exposed to sunlight or oxygen..
if there are no cbd molecules in the strain of cannabis you have available you cannot make them from thc... cbd too needs a higher heat point to decarboxylate than thc does so that is a consideration if both thc and cbd are in a strain you're using and you want to access the cbd

 

it depends by what you mean cbd...
say, if you were to eat raw cbd cannabis the cbd compounds would be in acid form (carboxyl acid group) known as cbd-a ( cannabidiol acid)... this carboxylic acid needs to be decarboxylated to make the cbd active medicine... thc too has an acid counterpart ( thc-a) that needs to be removed to make them active molecular agents... smoking or vaping naturally decarbs but if making edibles/ tinctures etc then the herb needs decarb fro those too... you get medical benefit from the acid forms thca/cbda too just a whole lot of material is needed and decarboxylation makes a little bit go a long way

with that acid surrounding the molecule in raw form your body cannot use the compounds for neuronal signalling because in acid form the cannabinoids are to big to fit into the cb receptors cb1 and cb2... once that carbon shield is eliminated then the molecules can make it through the blood brain barrier and then signal at the neuron

 

yes, same way for both... here is a good reference for vaporization temperatures

Turmeric tea has been used for centuries for inflammation, pain, anxiety, depression

Boil some spiced chai with 2-3 teaspoons of ghee, add 1/2 gram of decarboxylated powderized weed in with the hot water, and turn the heat on low. Add in 1 sunflower lecithin capsule, (high in phosphatidylcholine, unlike soy lecithin). Add about 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/16 tsp. of fresh, finely ground black peppercorn, 1 tbsp of honey. Optional: 1/2 tsp ginger.

Make sure the lecithin has completely dissolved, and stir thoroughly. To get more potency, you can pour the hot liquid into a blender, on high until the top gets a nice thick foam. Pour about 1/4 of the total into a cup. Drink the first one slowly to find the correct dose, the tea takes effect usually within several minutes. 1 G per 16 oz of tea is just a baseline.

You can use butter, but ghee will make the tea more potent and taste better. For someone who has a weak system, the ghee is concentrated calories, along with honey. Also will help with constipation, digestion and inflammation.
