Hi
I live in Sydney Australia and canabis is technically illegal here and medical canabis is under review and available only for certain conditions but apparently not for polymyalgia which my 85 year old mother has and is in constant pain despite many many attempts to give her various medications and visits to numerous specialists over the past few years. Approaching Christmas it would be nice to offer her at least an attempt with canabis bought off the street and turned into canabutter

the strain that my son has given me is a low THC (the psychotropic property) and a higher CBD. The strain is called cannatonic I have never learned to work it down myself, so i'm fortunate to have someone who can help me with it. Just start with TINY bits of it in food. It usually takes anywhere from 20 min to an hour for hit to kick in. The cannatonic, when dosed appropriately (for me anyway) leaves me still able to function, but the relief from the pain is there. That's about all I know. I'm pretty new to it.

Good luck with your situation.

If you need advice on how to make cannabutter I can walk you through it. I can't imagine how awful my pain would be without cannabis and feel strongly that it's the pharmaceutical industry that keeps it illegal.

Hi Mary
Cannabutter may be an answer. My daughter had a go at making some but don't think it was too successful. It would be lovely if you can offer some advice. Rrmemberinga my mother is 85 i obviously want to be cautious.
How are you today? I see yesterday wasn't so good.

Yep the CBD oil is best in creams or capsules. I did years of research and found, for me, a combination works best. The newest research is that using the whole plant rather than just buds or flowers has the most healing power. People that suffer from cancer, seizures, Autism etc. are being cured with this oil.
