@GanjaMa try coconut oil.
I have a marijuana success story here.
My wife who I have been with off and on (mostly on) for 30 years (been married 9) never smoked pot with me. She smoked some in high school but maybe because she married a cop right out of high school her drug of choice is pills. Also, she was a cowgirl that used to work cattle with her dad and grandpa (she would bring home a mess of calf fries (mountain oysters, calf/steer balls) and bread and deep fry and oh man dipped in ranch dressing was good stuff maynard (couldn’t watch her clean em though). Don’t knock em until you tried em…lol.
She also suffers from depression, chronic pain, migraines, fatigue, etc. She takes many meds some of which include Norco (heavy opioid) , Zanex, Trazadone, Ambien, and others.
Her pain meds doctor gives her a pee test every time she goes to the office (every three months) so I talked her into trying some of my special coconut oil seeing as marijuana only stays in your system like a month if you are a heavy user and she had three months between visits (I don’t think he even tests for anything except opioids but oh well she believed maybe he did and didn’t want to take the chance).
So I gave her some of my oil (about 1/4 teaspoon) and she got all dizzy at first but later did all right. I make my oil extra strong because my body doesn’t seem to like a bunch of oil (of any kind).
Anyway, after two months this knot in her stomach as she describes it (ptsd/anxiety) would go away with the oil and was the first time it had happened in her life except when abusing pain pills (she took more pills than she should) and she had the knot ever since she can remember.
Then she noticed blister packs of Emitrex (for migraines) were piling up (which had never happened before). Usually she may barely make it until refill but now with oil she has no migraines!
She also noticed she slept all night (very rare…obsessive thinking with racing thoughts kept her awake before oil).
Then she noticed the pain was gone also.
An aside: 20 years ago I had a bad back surgery and was in chronic pain bad and couldn’t mow my lawn with a handful of Percocet or Loritab but a half teaspoon of my butter I could mow my lawn with a smile on my face. I got healed out in the desert in California years ago but that is another story.
So then she gets closer to her appointment with her pain doctor (a month and a half away) and she made it two weeks and next thing I know she is on the phone canceling her pain meds appointment (and doctor) because she felt so bad without the oil. I am so proud of her. Still can hardly believe it.
I have been doling out her heavy meds for years but more times then I can count she found them and got into them and almost called an ambulance twice. Zanex, Ambien, and Opioids each enhance each other so can be dangerous stuff.
Something else that can be dangerous is my kind of oil. When it is very strong it can rapidly reduce your blood pressure making you pass out when you stand up. Also, there is the dizzy threshold so this kind of oil is for sedentary use only (no driving!).
I make a Sativa dom for the day and an Indica Hybrid for sleepy time. I use twice a day (morning and night). Sometimes even as a heavy user I do too much. Because it involves the digestive process before it hits (eat a Pop Fart) then be careful because if you have no food in your stomach and take a bunch of oil and go out for lunch it could hit you very hard hours later at a very inconvenient time so be careful.
My recipe is simple: For super butter use one ounce of primo bud per half stick of butter (use only high grade butter). For oil I use one ounce of bud (or a little more) per 1 cup of coconut oil.
I bake (decarboxylation) at 220 on wax paper on cookie sheet for 30-40 minutes. I break it down to mainly pencil eraser size (not powder ground). Buy an oven thermometer because they are cheap and this part can ruin your bud if you burn it.
With butter add much water and I use a painters strainer net for spraying (found at most hardware stores and paint shops) because they last forever and are cheap. Put bud in net and tie with twist tie and simmer
seven hours (many would say this is way too long but this will knock you right down and have to go to bed on about 1/2 a teaspoon).
Many would say ooohh don’t strain the green but I take my thick rubber gloves and squeeze every drop out (same with oil but I use a metal coffee filter and press out with large spoon).
The oil I simmer 7 hours and usually with an ounce I will add 1/2 a cup of water. When I use bud trim (two ounces) I add much more water. After seven hours I pour oil mixture into the strainer and press out as much as possible into a large plastic cup. Leave overnight for water and oil to separate and take butter knife down each side and drain water from under oil wedge and tap cup on counter to expel oil cake.
I simmer the oil in a vintage cheap double boiler (look at thrift stores) and take the top pan out and use the tall slender bottom pot to hold the mason jar (tried a slow cooker method but jar bounces around too much).
DO NOT ADD COLD WATER to your pot as it simmers off throughout the day you will break the jar. Pull jar out and take loose lid (not tightened down) off and stir mixture and while water faucet gets hot and put hot water in the pot and then put jar back in. Keep an eye on this as you don’t want the water to run out and only a med-low simmer. The water will simmer but the oil won’t. You don’t want to boil the oil you will ruin it.
There are many ways to make oil/butter and many tutorials out there this is just how I do it as seems to kick my ass and I’m a serious heavy user that’s been smoking almost 50 years (next year).
Hope this helps!
Peace and love to you all!
