Introducing my wife (peritoneal kidney dialysis patient also dealing with chronic pain issues that has so far resulted in three brain surgeries) to the plant with hopes that it will be more effective than the pills the doctors have tried and just make a bad situation worse. Smoking hurts her throat so I made a decarbed THC tincture and a non-decarbed THCA. So far I haven’t really come across anything suggesting a recommended dosage for the latter. Now that we’ve got the THC tincture mostly dialed in (lab testing isn’t a practical option in the country I’m living) I’m looking into finding whatever first hand opinions/studies/etc. I can about suggested THCA dosages. Not sure if because x # of drops is where the effects can be felt with THC that that same dosage of THCA will be equally effective, or if the amount should be higher or lower.
I used all flower; unfortunately, no idea on the strain. It’s good, though not special. Since I have no way of knowing actual percentages I have no idea how it would compare to a commercially available version. For now I’m mirroring the THC dosage and adding both to her morning juice. At night before bedtime she’s only using the THC tincture so recently it's been twice as much THC as THCA. This morning we're changing it up and doing more or less the same amount of drops, just spread over three instead of two sessions. I figured that since THCA is non-psychoactive there’s really no “danger” of green out no matter the amount, but I’m curious to hear from others or be turned onto another thread or website with information on this.
