Newbie needs advice

[BozoJim]

I've been smoking pot since my teens, now that I'm 60, I better take better care of my lungs. I also have cancer, a very rare Neuroendocrine Carcinoid Tumor, and have tried the dispensary Edibles, full dose (4 bars) Kiva, Cheeba Chews,
Their brownies, and other products, which makes me feel sick, not full of euphoria, and pain relief from Scapula, back, ankles, now my left knee and hip. Nothing works.
I talked with a "Budtender" about this, he told me (he's no doctor) that my meds, or monthly Octreotide/Sandostatin 20mg injection,might be preventing the true benefits of edibles, of reaching the receptors for relief.
Has anyone heard of this before?

So I told a friend that I am tired (and worried) of smoking flower, so he was kool enough to give me about 2 lbs of butter. So, first timers, how much? A tablespoon, teaspoon, on a Eggo waffle, or piece of toast. He also gave me some choc. Chip cookies, brownies, and a "Little Heather's 80mg THC., Lemon Bundt Cake, would the whole thing at once be consumed, and more importantly, do you eat these edibles, on a full stomach, or on an empty stomach?

I also have a Ego T battery, a Ego C kit, but battery cheap, and wax cartomizer really cheap, and coils burn out, after just three hits. I also do wax and Pre-filled liquid, usually Indica.
Please advise. Thank you! Flower is too expensive, and need something to last!
Thank you!

With butter, you never know how potent it will be, so start sparingly, and increase until you are happy. I make my butter with exact, specific measurements, and only use pure bud, so I know my potency inside and out. You probably won't.

I eat edibles a few hours after dinner, about an hour before I go to bed (to cure my RLS and other insomnia issues). I use 1/8 of a pound of butter (or oil) in a single batch of cookies (~12-14). If I want to get a really good body buzz, I eat two. Otherwise, I use 1/2 to 1 cookie.

Regardless of full or empty stomach, it doesn't matter (there's no discomfort or anything), but on an empty stomach, the effects will hit faster (typically take between 45 minutes and an hour and 15 minutes).

Another thing my girl and I do is make homemade chicken noodle soup. Put in about two tablespoons directly into your chicken broth. Heals the body and the soul

My wife both eats and smokes marijuana for headache relief (migraines). She says that:

1. Edibles do a good job of headache prevention, while they do very little for an existing headache.
2. Smoking does a good job of treating an existing headache.

She begins every morning with a marijuana muffin and coffee (caffeine), and has the bong ready when she starts feeling a headache coming on.

guy

u have other choices
u can have vapor with oil mixed into it ( like smoking but with water vapors instead of smoke as transfer media )......ask if they have a Ovape pen go for the larger size one so u get a strain made one instead of mix of trim to make just the type .........heady happy indica is what u want .....body sativa is what u want and they have hybrid a 50%50
http://www.medicaljane.com/review/the-o-pen-vape-portable-vaporizer/#

other stuff is called tincture ....it is oil laced into a sweet media couple drops under the tongue or in your drinks (under your tongue is all these veins and stuff the oils are absorbed and passed into your system quicker and a higher lvl )
http://www.medicaljane.com/review/lemon-drop-tincture-instant-enhancer/#


the stuff the guy told u about slows down how fast your insides works this would work for u to increase the effects it has (your stomac is emptying out and not absorbing the THC and other things to well unless u have a diet of fatty foods and other things your system is passing it tho to quick for full effect) but this is something to really talk to a doctor about it is something else added to the cocktail u are on so make sure it is a OK thing to do

rem what ever u take THC half life is 2 hours (they have noticeable effect on system ) after that is in your system still working but getting cleaned out for about 3 days so the effects lessen a normal dosing of weed should be good for 8 to 10 hours with a correct dose and absorbing it

Consider vaporizing, tho they can cost an arm and leg
adding canna to food is a whole new ball game
that only you can answer, to do with you age/weight metabolism

consider having some Mango before canna as it speeds up the toke incredibly
for a quick toke as an eater
mix a spoon of weed to 2 spoons of peanut butter add to microwave
for 10 seconds? add to toast or your fab. cracker
for quick discreet hit ...lol
called firecrakers I think

good luck

start small and eat more after a half hour to an hour. You'll need to find the dosage that provides maximum relief for your own condition. Some batches of butter are very strong and you only need a little, but it will depend on the quality of the trim that went into it, how it was prepared, and how much trim went into it. Don't stop taking a medication that is prescribed without first talking to your doctor.

If the butter was made with activated product then you can just eat it directly. If the product was not activated (decarboxylated), then it won't provide much of an effect without being first baked in something like a cookie or brownie.

I eat cookies on a full stomach, on an empty stomach, before bed, when I wake up....whenever. But, because I like to be fully medicated at all times, I prefer vegetable glycerin extract - potent as can be and made with activated product. I try to always have a dropper bottle with me and I take about 5ml every 2-3 hours.

I'd say a regular amount on a waffle would be just fine, butter is strong so a little will go a long way. Good luck man I hope you beat that shit!

I would report that bud tender to the state agency for attempting to practice medicine without a license but I have ZERO sense of humor.

No they should not interact. Next you should be honest with your physicians about your cannabis use (no matter WHAT state you live in assuming US because of your use of the term budtender). If they don't like it get another physician.

Go here: http://www.cureyourowncancer.org/

Start growing, or up your grow, you are going to need a LOT of good quality cannabis and none of the really good quality can be obtained from a dispensary except in rare conditions. Do not give up either treatment. Stick with Western as well as using Cannabis and other naturopathic treatments.

Good luck and I hope you have a better 2015.
