Alternative Medicine Medicinal Marijuana (Only where legal)

Having spent a life time observing pain in intensities you wouldn't imagine, I can fully endorse mj for pain mitigation and even complete relief. Big pharma doesn't want us to have access to this because they loose the strangle hold on "medicine" they have, and they and gov. Loose any money they could dry rape out of us!!! I know a guy got both legs and half his arm blown off, not gently removed in a nice surgical procedure, blown the F off!!! You wouldn't believe the pain he has had to endure all the wile taking prescription pain meds. My wife, bless her, found some super duper powerful mj and she and I begin dosing in a controlled manor, remarkable results were seen the very first dose, and he with new techniques in physical therapy is virtually pain free. Fk big pharma, and Fk the medical community who push pills and other chemical shit off on us as established and sound medical treatment!!!

 

When you hurt, you do what you must to get relief! I'm glad that I live in a state where it's available if needed!
Other side of that though, is people driving under the influence, you folks in "dry" states simply wouldn't believe how many Shunks we smell from other cars! You hear people interviewed on the news saying, "But it's just a little weed, I can handle it!"
Well, today's weed can curl your toenails and make you ever so stupid! We truly fear mush brained drivers the LEO's need to crack down, and keep use to the home! It's not like it's difficult to detect!

 

For educational purposes....I will start a tincture today with 151 Rum.

Recipe calls to decarboxylate (200f heat extraction) 1oz of greens with a pint of high test alcohol for an hour, transfer to a mason jar and stick it in the freezer for a week with daily shakes. I will not be using commercial grade greens for this but it will be fairly high potency (but terrible tasting) clippings/scraps that are usually used to make butter/coconut oil or tar.

Will let ya'll know how it pans out.

*note*
I misread your previous post thinking you were talking aboot boiling it down to oil (tar as you call it) in the vodka, whereas you're actually not reducing it at all to make a tincture.

Alcohol appears to cause permanent brain damage whereas weed does not.

Seven surprising ways that cannabis can protect the brain

I don't really need to elaborate on this but which do you think is legal and more widely accepted? [/sarcasm]

What was really interesting was that pot may in fact prevent getting Ebola.

 

The Navy 151 Rum tincture isn't pleasant...it tastes almost as awful as awful can get and rather than make me hungry or tired enough for a 4+hr sleep...it revs me up and makes me a bit miserable with a "strange" body buzz.
*sigh*
Might be fun for camping/fishing but not the "medicine" I had hoped it would be.
I'd call the experiment a fail....
Perhaps a different strain and alcohol would have the desired effect but I wont be putting it to the test any time soon.

 

Absinthe also has a rep for being undrinkable. To make it more palatable they add burnt sugar, you probably already know the recipe. You may want to try that out @Mindgrinder

 

Absinthe is no more or less dangerous than any other alcohol. The myth and lure that surrounds it is all crap, and its root cause was from completely adulterated liquor in the 1800s from profiteers who were adding chemicals to stretch their profit.

Absinthe starts with a neutral spirit, which then has various herbs (including wormwood) steep in it for a set amount of time. All the herb solids are separated out, and its bottled.

Vintage bottles (which you can still buy, believe it or not... huge money though) have been tested for their supposed hallucinogenic contents. Almost nothing... same with the modern product. Absinthe is good, but don't believe what you have heard about its supposed effects.

Oh, and the burnt sugar thing also needs to go away. It just adds a burnt caramel taste to it. Quite disgusting. Quality absinthe needs nothing more than chilled ice water to allow the oils to come out of suspension, and add to the louche (the cloudiness of prepared absinthe).

 

A number of new South Wales hospitals are conducting medical cannabis trials in Australia.

The trials are to undertake evidence based scientific research to evaluate the medical use of cannabis with regard to treating:

Paediatric epilepsy,

Palliative care,

Chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting.

That article is bunk. Rents in Colorado are outrageous. A studio goes for $1200 a month, many cannot afford to live in a structure anymore. They blame everything on the dope industry.

LOL! So people are shooting up dope in Durango. Never heard that one. FYI- Denver has been chasing out the homeless so have the surrounding towns. These people need to go somewhere. The Colorado machine can keep blaming everything on the pot business but eventually the bottom will fall out. Do not believe Faux News

 

Not you ghrit, but this BS story.

 

I did drive through Durango a few months back and it looked like any other normal town. I did see a hippie on the street but the fact is the hippies started moving to CO in the late 60s and most of them are there now. Pot had nothing to do with this. They brought all kinds of other drugs to the state, not just pot. Hunter S Thompson started a revolution there when he ran for sheriff and the hippies have been there ever since.
