I do not sell oil but am more than happy to answer any questions you have.
Like Weezard said, you can pretty much do a google search and find us in many different places. I am GrowGoddess Michigan on Facebook and Grow Goddess or GrowGoddess elsewhere. You will know it is me by my owl picture.
There are many helpful folks here, Weezard being one of them. Feel free to ask any questions you may have, we are here to help.
Thank you so much for replying GrowGoddess....I guess I could ask my question here about Michigan's rules/policies, as others may have the same one. I already know you have to be a resident of Michigan to become a patient of MM, correct? I suppose my question to you is, if my husband can accomplish this, (by moving in with a friend), could you THEN treat him specifically with the rso? Because I'm so used to getting my hopes up, just to be disappointed, I'm already anticipating that you're going to tell me there are all kinds of hoops to jump through and red tape to get through. Thought I would ask anyway. Thank you for letting me know where else you can be reached. I appreciate that, and your willingness to help whatever way you can.
I replied to your post Weezard, and now cannot find my reply!! Darn it all....please tell me if YOU can see it? I'll have to respond again..if not. smh
Great...I spent 20 minutes on my reply to you Weezard, and it is not here. I started by saying your post brought tears to my eyes....simply because you "get" what we are going through. Sounds like your wife also gets it..but it's a horrible feeling when all you do is worry and stress all day and night. It's so counterproductive and draining. Anyway, I'm having trouble recalling exactly what my first reply said, so I'll just say now that I will definitely try to find you elsewhere in order to have that private conversation...just because my mind is already on information overload, and I need to keep it simple, direct and focused. I hope you understand. At this point, all I can hope for is that kind and sympathetic people such as yourself and GG, will guide me in the right direction. My goal IS to make the oil myself, but I've already ran into problems with that, and I did consider posting about that, (in order to possibly help someone else) and if you recommend I do ask about the problem, I will. My energy and focus is limited, and I can only concentrate on the problem one emotion at a time...if that makes ANY sense to you at all. Thank you so much for replying at all Weezard. I'm going to try and keep my username the same if I can find you elsewhere, so you will know who it is....
"My energy and focus is limited, and I can only concentrate on the problem one emotion at a time...if that makes ANY sense to you at all."
More than most my friend.
Am there. Doing that.
Here's what I advise myself, several times a day.
When I start to feel that everybody and everything is extremely irritating.
And feelings of rage start to bubble and churn.
It's not really anger.
It's displaced feelings of helplessness.
We are not helpless, just haven't found what we CAN do.
I've done what I can to address my problems.
With some success. :)
You seem to have a grip on that part.
I can see you working on it.
It gets frustrating, yah?
That's when this:
"I did consider posting about that, (in order to possibly help someone else)"
Helps enormously!
It's a positive, human coping mechanism.
My efforts to help others are actually quite selfish, psychologically.
We're not powerless if we can empower someone else.
In order to do so, I need to research and experiment.
(It' fits my talents and abilities. )
I get lost in it for hours. :)
What I learn, I share.
Now let me go find you on a more functional board.
Aloha, nui,
Wee

Got in the habit of doing a Control-C after each paragraph.

I really need some help!
The story is.... my husband has malignant melanoma stage 4. Started on the scalp and went down to lymph nodes on the neck and chest, then lungs and liver. (Liver is badly affected).
He's taking the RSO for a month. From the start he has taken large doses, and in 7 days he was ingesting a gram daily. The symptoms were at first heavy sleeping, increase in appetite, redness of the eyeballs, loss of memory, etc. That started to slowly fade away but then he started to burp heavily, and to vomit every 2 days. Lost his appetite and started to vomit every day, sometimes after taking his dose and sometimes when he woke up. The situation got worse. Today he vomited 6-7 times and can't take his dose anymore because of the constant nausea and frequent vomiting. He feels very bad. So in your experience could it be that he is having something called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome?
What can we do to stop this?
Please help me!
"So in your experience could it be that he is having something called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome?"
I doubt that.
Cannabis is an excellent anti-emetic.
It is used to treat nausea and vomiting albeit in much smaller doses.
As I understand it, these are symptoms of the loss of hepatic function.
The fact that the symptoms persist after cessation of medication, point that way.
You need to get some water and nourishment in him right away,
Probably by IV drip.
I am not a doctor, so please seek competent medical advice, stat!
Aloha and sympathy

Maja:
Just my opinion, but it sounds like the oil may be loaded with chlorophyll. Possibly made with a lot of leaf material. That is not good. What makes me say that is you mentioned burping. I have heard similar issues from other patients.
Sounds like low grade oil. That is one big reason why I always recommend making your own oil whether you grow your own or purchase the buds. It is easy to make.
Unfortunately it is difficult to trust others to provide good oil and that makes us good folks look bad. It also makes RSO look bad.
I would also look into the oil, what solvent was used in extraction, was it fully purged?
Iso, and Naphtha will both cause belching, with a distinctive taste and odor.
Acetone as well.
Is there an odor?
The reason I ask, is serial vomiting is very unusual with cannabis and cannabis extracts.
Chlorophyll is minor, and seldom more than nauseating.
But un-purged solvents for a person with compromised hepatic function, can be deadly!
Smell the oil, smell the belch, act accordingly.
Just a wild guess, I am not a physician or a chemist.
Aloha,
Weezard
