Looking for a strain for my wife’s insomnia

[JL2G]

I hope I can relate this to those seeking sleep, or a sense of well being.
I use the old Green Dragon receipt, sort of.
I placed 7-10 grams of decarb'ed weed into a pint mason jar, I was doing 6 jars at a time.
Then I added a portion of vegetable glycerin, and same amount of Polyethylene glycol into each jar.
I placed lids on, then a ring, but did not tighten them.
I placed a trivet in my crock pot, placed the jars in the crock pot and added water 3/4's the way up the jars.
Set the temp to high, then I plugged the crock pot into a timer, set it to 4 hours on, 4 hours off.
For the next 7-10 days, every 4 hours, while HOT, I'd glove up, and pull a jar, tighten the ring, and shake each jar like a mad man for a couple of minutes.
Topping off the water in the crock pot each time.
So many folks folks tried it, some loved it, some did NOT.
However, every person loved the calming, and rest it brought to them.
Some folks would simply nod off after a dropper full in cup of tea, but not like an opiate, but a gentle spacing out sort of nod.
He LOVED it! So much so asked for another one.
He got a jar for his 90+ year old mom, that had taken to a rocking chair.
In 2 days, she got back outdoors and started working in her garden.
His 70 year old brother, with sever health issues, found a few months of peace before he passed away, he never used cannabis before.
Big FAIL, with harsh pain! Big FAIL with depression.
The most stated comment was, it makes me feel good.
One lady, told us, she felt like she belonged in her skin, when she dosed up. Some said it did nothing at all.
Just thought I'd pass this along, if helps one person, it was worth all this typing, LOL!

I think I'll have to give that method a try one of these days, with the added cook time, but do it using coconut oil already heavily infused, with some hash I'll add to it for added kick.
Just not a fan of either of the glycerin, and/or glycol ingredients.

Green Dragon is my favorite hash oil recipe. Because I have to order the alcohol from out of state I've only made it one time but it rocks!

The recipe mentioned above didn't mention alcohol, what recipe, and methods do you use? I've never heard of it til now. Curious about it now. Lol
When I make canna oil I do it with coconut oil, and for normal fun/rec use I only let it cook once for the infusion with decarbed weed, and or hash.
If I'm making it more for night use, and or for use as a topical, I'll put it in the fridge overnight, and then let it cook again the next day for another 8 to 12 hrs. Imho it makes it way sleepy doing the double cook, and works awesome as a topical.
When I say cook, I mean on a hot plate that's set to keep the oil around 175 to185* in its pot with lid. Use my thermal gun for accuracy when setting temps for best end product.
When I dose myself I just eat a spoonful of the infused coconut oil.

To get cbn at most %, grow a 6-8th week “harvested “ ready plant (fast finisher/quick) and grow it to fully amber/100% amber ( more the better) vs tradional harvest where you harvest at thrich cloudy 30%- starting amber. Doing so the plant will have way more cbn . if you have time over time thca converts to cbn,THC itself readily oxidizes to cannabinol (CBN) . Point is if u grow a semi sativa it was 11-13 weeks normally u would need 16-20 weeks prolly to even see full amber like a indica/early flower that’s grown way further maturity .

better wording and more info

Converting THC to CBN

Cannabinol (CBN) is the degradation cannabinoid from Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Recent years have seen interest in CBN increase due to low

" Potency (in terms of intoxication due to agonist activity at cannabinoid receptors) has been estimated from 10 to 25% compared to THC."


,,, as it relates to yield or dosage ?

Meaning if I had 1 unit of thc and converted it to cbn, I would have .2 units of cbn ?

Or do I need 75-90% more units of cbn to produce the equivalant ' agnostic activity '

I don't understand what that quoted statement is trying to tell me.
i cant find context.

Personally I think you've got it with .2 to .25 respectively as that made a bit more sense. A Cannibinoid agonist is likely to be speaking on dose, not yield. It's been a while but the ultra boring white papers I used to read, I don't think I ever saw one not speaking on dose VS yield where they meant yield. Efficacy is usually how they rate them.

I don't think I'm confident enough to call this a fact, but I'd love to hear more from anyone on thoughts.
