Being Asian myself, I’ve had to deal with some ignorance and racism. But when it comes to combat vets, I can totally understand. It would be hard not to for most. Though there are also the individuals that went and fought, but also ended up marrying or adopting.

The irony being that agent orange is actually based on a plant auxin. He is no doubt experiencing the effects of the dioxin contamination, it persists in the ground to this day… even though the war ended long ago.
I take…750ml everclear, 50 grams of weed. Cut it up. Decarb in the oven for 45min at 225F. cake mix the alcohol and weed for 3min, strain and enjoy! Dispense by the drop. I think that’s a pretty standard recipe.
I found it really helped with my leg pain, so I could sleep.

Good on ya for giving a fuck. The USA and Canada and I am sure others are so quick to send their young off to die in some bullshit war and if they don’t and make it home , we leave them to rot.
Lots of great advice has been given in this thread as someone who has been dealing with severe central nervous system damage for many years now.

Don’t get a vape cartridge or pen, those can be unsafe for seriously ill patients and people with compromised immune systems.
As for tincture, here is what I would do.
Grow a several plants with diverse cannabinoid content. Ideally a few dominant in cbd, one or two dominant in thc, and an heirloom or two for trace cannabinoid and terpene content.
Get a nice big half gallon glass jar. Put all your freshly harvested bud and leaves into the glass jar, and add your everclear. You want to fill it so that the weed material is fully covered.
Let it extract for at least one week, shaking it daily.
This will create a full plant concentrate, like rick simpson oil.
After a week, strain into a pyrex baking dish.
Let it evaporate. Do not use heat. This guy will be too sensitive to thc for decarbed cannabis.
Let it evaporate naturally, or set up a fan to blow on it to speed up evaporation.
Once it has reached a honey like consistency after 1 to 4 days of evaporation, it will be done.
Stop the evaporation by putting it in a small airtight jar, or put it into capsules for him to dose with.
He can take capsules, or simply ingest it by itself.
This should be the strongest method which would still be comfortable for him.

You guys ever combine a thc strain with a cbd strain?

I usually use fresh material for full plant concentrate and for hash. It helps preserve the terpenes and volatile oils. same thing for evaporation without heat, that also preserves the volatile oils and keeps the active compounds in their raw, non heat activated form.
This way, I can ingest the full plant concentrate without taking a trip to the moon every time. And if I am making hash, all the compounds will activate when I smoke it.
For hash to vaporize or smoke, I would freeze the freshly harvested material and then do a quick extraction with ice cold everclear. I agitate it for about 4 minutes and then filter it with a coffee filter. Simple old school method, but very effective, and way less physical labor than other methods.
I love to combine thc strains and cbd strains for a broader spectrum of medicinal cannabinoids.

Every year I make a blended concentrate with a little bit of every plant in my outdoor grow. It’s almost always a mix of indica, sativa, and lebanese landrace for cbd. I can definitely feel the benefits of a broad spectrum of cannabinoid content, you can medicate more without feeling overwhelmed or burnt out, and the mix of cbd and thc actually allows you to get higher than thc alone, if you want to.
I call it ‘backyard boogie’

It’s the easiest & fastest way to dial in your preferred ratio. 
And a handy way to ‘improve’ CBD herb if isn’t tasty.
Very easy to make 1:1

So much love in this thread it almost needs to be retitled to just “PURE LOVE”!.
I’m so sorry to hear that, but not surprised either, Satan is in charge of the world, that I don’t claim, but have to live in. Not one drop of racist blood in me, my blood is clean and purified…

Yeah it was some fucked up times back then I was unfortunate to have witnessed, (to young to go to Nam. , old enough to see and remember the aftermath firsthand)

I NEVER THOUGHT I’d be making an OverGrow cookbook or getting recipes for other than soil or nutes when I joined in the late 90’s or early 2000’s , 2 months after World Trade Center airplane attack is when I joined, or even back in March of '17 when I rejoined OG.
I make plans but can only do what the BOSS let’s(makes) me do.
@cannabissequoia also bookmarked, thank you!

I have twin, adopted, Asian sisters. If I ever heard any of those words, my fighting side came out. I had to learn with that era of vets to let it go.
My fighting side also come out when I remember about how they were treated. I enjoy thanking vets, but I will really go out of my way if they have a Vietnam hat on. I believe my dad instilled that in me. If I ever saw someone spit on a vet, it would be on.
