How should I use my cannabis as a daily pain reliever/pain distractor?

Im in a similar situation and am curious how others patients use it

 

Make the oil and eat it. You can also apply it topically to areas in pain. Start with small doses when ingesting, because the oil is very potent. (half the size of a grain of rice) and work your way up over time.

Solvents to use:

*Rick Simpson's favorites FIRST-LAST: Petroleum Ether, Naphtha, Isopropyl/100%/95% Alcohol

After the solvent is boiled off safely, you leave the oil in a small pot or glass on a coffee warmer for about 24 hours and all of the solvent should be evaporated leaving you with a pure high grade oil. Some people Aren't comfortable with using naptha etc. Although Rick Simpson has had the oil tested by a scientist and it is in fact 100% clean, when properly made.

But you can use 95% alcohol (everclear) if you wish. 2nd video is a good video on how to do it.

Eat cho weed!

 

Vaporizers are the way to go for medical users! Much easier on the lungs and the instant relief of smoking!

The "leftovers" from vaping still have a reasonable amount of THC in them, and make "passable" brownies.

"Old Hippie" an online friend of mine, found this to be an "interesting" way to reuse the "leftovers" (aka AVB or ABV).

The purple strains have anthocyanin, a plant pigment, that is an anti-inflammatory on its own. (Also found in blueberries) Purple strains might make a better base for a rub than green strains. A few recipes for you -

You can make your own edible oil, and edibles, and control the level of 'activation', as well as the amount of cannabinoid
conversion (ie. limiting the creation of metabolites such as the 'intoxicating' or narcotic CBN, formed by the degradation
of THC).



By doing so, and avoiding the steps that make cannabis more narcotic for extreme pain patients... the same steps that often
make cannabis enjoyable for recreational users... you can start to multiply your dose or daily intake, without any, or
as many of the 'recreational' side-effects.



Increasing your exposure to carboxylic-acid-intact cannabinoids, and limitting exposure to 'decarboxylated' cannabinoids
predominantly contained in most edibles, can benefit people with seizures, cancer, MS and other debilitating conditions and
diseases, who often benefit the most from very high doses.


THCA, CBDA, CBNA, CBGA and other major and minor cannabinoids (over 80 cannabinoids have been 'identified' in
cannabis alone!) when kept in their, to recreational users, 'inactive' forms, have powerful medicinal value and can be
taken at higher doses, without the stupor and recreational side-effects.



*** Inactive is the term most traditionally and commonly used, due to the overwhelmingly desired effects produced
by THC/CBN/CBG etc..... but medicinally and therapeutically, carboxylic acid intact cannabinoids (THCA/CBNA/
CBDA/CBGA+) are VERY active! ***



You can increase the level of overall cannabinoid and terpene exposure, even in addition to a small amount of '*active'
or carboxyl-group detached cannabinoids, without being tossed into a narcotic stupor, leaving you more functional and
able to handle your day to day activities.


(* - Again, that's THC, CBN or other cannabinoids, without the 'A'; that detachment, or the removal of carboxylic
acid known as 'decarboxylation', is responsible for the heightened cerebral effects, loss of sensation and coordination, and
narcotic stupor people feel, and medicinally and recreationally, often desire of their meds.)







I know that's probably more than you were looking to hear!



But I always like to share they 'why', before I share the 'how'... it makes the mechanics, and the importance of each
step behind the tutorials, make more sense.



-------






The below photo tutorials will walk you through using a cold extraction, in order to avoid excessive decarboxylation.


By doing so, you can promote bioavailability, while retaining the most 'inactive' cannabinoids, which again are virtually
just as beneficial as their recreationally 'active' counterparts when it comes to: *** anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer/anti-
mutagenic, analgesic and other known medicinal properties!

Yes, a bong will help you absorb more THC and other cannibinoids than a joint, or blunt.

But what BKS is saying is that you do not need a big kitchen process, you can simply toss some unheated marijuana ground up into an oil (coconut for eating, or jojoba for topical use), and keep it in a cool dark place for 3-5 weeks, shaking it up every day. The reason for this is that marijuana becomes more bioavailable as time passes, and you'll notice that the pain relieving effects will be stronger as more time goes on. And if you do not like the feeling of rubbing oil onto your skin you can make a very simple balm by melting beeswax into the oil to create a salve like texture, but this is only if you cannot afford to do much more. Beeswax, while good, will not penetrate the skin as well as a lotion or cream made with emulsifying wax and water. A good recipe to follow would be this:

- 24.0 oz distilled H2O
- 4.0oz cannabis oil
- 1.2oz emulsifying wax
- 1.2oz cosmetic grade stearic acid
- 1.0oz liquid vegetable glycerin
- .3oz germaben ( a natural preservative necessary to prevent spoilage/rancidity)
-Essential oils for fragrance, or further pain relieving effects (look up some essential oils like rosemary, eucalyptus, nutmeg etc.)

Heat all the ingredients in a slow cooker or double boiler, whisking frequently and keeping the temperature at 170 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes to kill off any organisms, and then add the germaben and essential oils last. Whisk it up one last time and you're done!

Good luck to you!

Question to BKS though if she comes back, will unheated marijuana really treat pain JUST as well as decarboxylated marijuana? I have always decarboxylated before using, even in topical ointments.

 

Bong rips are great for pain, nothin like a fat rip of indica to get rid of my pain
