TEST LAUNCH-Operation Redwood Tree

[Weedhound]

Everyone has been too kind here.....the love is so great on this forum.

Well first chemo treatment was yesterday.....nothing exciting to report except my doctors office is great and I feel very comfortable and in good, knowledgable hands there.

Since was time of such essance we pretty much wandered through the diagnosis etc in a daze so we are only now (having already started treatment) and getting to the exact type and characteristics of my particular type of lung cancer.

Apparently my type......small cell lung cancer......is caused almost EXCLUSIVELY by smoking and according to my cancer books marijuana can also cause the same kind of damage when smoked on a consistent basis.

Guys.....go with your cookie, capsules, tinctures and vapes......try to avoid actually inhaling the harsh smoke directly into your lungs if possible.

There are SO MANY great ways to enjoy ganja......lose the smoking and look around for some satisfactory alternatives....:thumbsup:

Wow. It's weird, even before you posted the news I've been thinking more and more that I need to get back to using my vaporizer. At the very least, I'm going to try to avoid pipe and doobie smoking (doobie not in spell checker). I see more small travel bongs in the future, and maybe a small travel vaporizer. And cookies, and, man I gotta try again on those capsules. hmmm, fall harvest soon. And yes we all love you, but I don't think we've been too kind. You are an easy person to love, and you have helped so many of us over the years. You can't help but get anything but love from all us fellow stoners... dumping pipes into trash...

I have to say that I have been feeling better about myself since making cannabutter, cookies, brownies, and capsules. I bought a used VaporBox off ebay last month and I recommend everyone to vape rather than smoke for the obvious health reasons. I am going to embark on making tinctures next in my journey to consume cannabis in the most healthy ways possible.

BTW, I am now in Phoenix where I have been working for the last 3 weeks. If you need ANYTHING, just ask, as I will be back in Cali for the Labor Day weekend. I hear that cannabutter is good for cooking just about any type of food and helps appetite as well.

Yes tinctures. I've dabbled. Very nice even with trim and crap. Did you know some take weed tinctures in the eyes? Mine have been low strength, but when done properly you're supposed to be able to put a drop or two under your tongue for an amazing trip.

WH, I've seen two people beat cancer when their doctors had given them their last rights. Both times, I attributed the win to positive attitude and beliefs. I know that must be easier said than done during this tough time, and I know I don't know you very well; but, I have eyes, and I see all of the love pouring toward you from this board, and I am sure from those lucky people who know and love you in your day to day life. My interaction with you has always been positive, which taken along with the love river flowing in your direction, I know you will knock the shite out of this (C)rap.

You and your family are certainly in my thoughts and prayers! Once you've gotten over the initial shock and all other crazy emotions you must have been experiencing, I know you will get back on your legs of positivity! You are a great woman, and I count myself lucky to know you in even the limited way I do through this great board.

Take good care, great lady! You are much loved! And, you will win this fight!

Hey Everyone,

First let me say to Luna, Rocky and Jake....thanks for stopping by and giving us some up posts!! Jake....deep stuff....thanks.

Got a few things to report. First week of chemo was interesting, easy AND TOUGH all at the same time.

We've already met several folks, who like we are being told by the folks here, ignore the numbers, prognoses, etc etc and forge a good life for themselves. Those people also have given us hope.

Obviously our growing has been on the back burner but I now have two weeks off from the chemo so we intend to straighten out and update the garden during this time.
