"The Philosopher, is Stoned"
Greetings fellow enthusiasts,
I was wondering if the community is interested in a forum where we can discuss health issues and the possible treatments that have worked for members? I have a few ways that I treat my problems and am always looking for better ideas. I think that we may be able to really help one another. Any thoughts?

Todays meds are a simple fresh bud/ glycerin into extract/syrup. After trimming, cram a quart jar about 60% full of bud {1+1/2 OZ.}. Next cover with glycerin to about 2/3 of jars volume. I usually try to put 3-quart jars in my 8-quart insta-pot. Add enough water to the pot, stop before the jars want to float. IMPORTANT!!! The jars must have lids on them but loosely enough to let the pressure equalize. I set the cooker to time cook on the 'soup' setting for 2 minutes. I do the cooking step 3 times before I'm done, letting it cool down completely between each step. After the 2nd run, I let it cool just till it's holdable. Yes, I use potholders too, but one good splash and you'll understand why I let it cool some. Anyway, once the second and third heating is done, I stir it up well with an immersion blender. Now, we strain it while it's hot. I squeeze this and the save the spent bud for brownies.
The resulting syrup is what I use for a coffee sweetener. I just ease into my morning routine. This is a good daytime med as it's not going to knock you on your arse.

Nice start to a good thread, will follow along.

I use an electric pressure cooker [insta pot] for much of my meds and extracts, it is nearly foolproof. I use the same basic method mentioned in post 2 for coconut oil infusion and also for alcohol extracts. I do not use the plant matter of the alcohol method for anything else medical. I will take my alcohol squeezed and spread it out in flats to fully evap in the sun and afterwards it becomes worm food, use.all the alc. must be removed and it should be bone dry before

Big omission, I always use fresh trimmed bud [not dried or cured] in my glycerin extracts. 2 reasons, #1 dry weed tends to suck up to much glycerin and #2 it tastes way better. My last batch was a medium to light purple and tasted of berries.

I just medicate for insomnia and inflammation/pain in my joints(and to calm my urge to choke most other humans:rastajoint:). I'm always looking to upgrade my meds and have added some CBD strains to the stable.

Currently:
Cindy for energy and mood enhancement
Romulan/Blueberry Muffin/Kush for insomnia
StarTropic CBD for pain

Yeah, so I grew out some supposed CBD strain for my wife. She does not enjoy cannabis, so I tried to make some super lightweight hash caps. She tried a few different times and said it made her feel too weird? No harm, I'll just use them myself for my daytime needs. Ha! I got wasted, CBD my ass, they were stronger than the ones I make for myself. Sorry about that dear ?. I just got a small order from New 420guy which has some bubblegum CBD, This time I'll try them out first. I've got 2 quarts of coconut oil extract from the first strain. I am going to do a side by side batch of brownies from these against my regular coconut extract. It's all meds, so it's all good, just gotta work out the dosage. Like that really matters for me :cookies:!!!

I make an RSO type of extract but, I don't boil it down! Instead, after 30 days I strain and squeeze all the alcohol from the material and then I pour about 1/4" of green alcohol into large glass baking dishes. The dishes are placed on shelves near the ceiling fan, Run fan on low and the alc should evap away in about 6 hours. I then sprinkle a tablespoon of ground bud powder over it and shake it around so that no bare resin is visible. Shake off the excess powder and she's ready to scrape. The bud powder will keep it from getting too sticky while handling. Next I scrape the resin/powder with single edge razor and store it in a silicone cannister.
This can be used in many ways, but I use mine for insomnia and so I roll out the resin on a silicone mat, and put it in capsules. One cap per night and no insomnia!!!

Mental health, sanity and compassion issues? My 60 YO sister in law was fine on Sunday. Rushed to hospital that night straight into brain surgery. Diagnosis is poor and so we wait. She had headaches for 3 days prior, no other warning. Life is not always fair, take the time to tell those you love, that you love them. I just can't process this properly, and I'm the guy who holds things together. Peace be with you all;)

Hang In there ‘bro. What helps me sometimes is remembering to inhale and exhale, as silly as that might sound.
