Questions about Vaporizers and Lung Cancer

[lwien123]

Thanks for the well wishes, I appreciate all of them I receive!

What do you mean by ABV? Sorry, I'm new to most of this as my only experience is traditional smoking methods recreationally, not medical applications for non-users.

I think we're going to stick to edibles for now, I found a bakery that can make whatever I request, and we'll see how that works out for her over the next week or so and go from there.

ABV means "already been vaped" bud, that is, the bud that is left in your vaporizer after you feel that you have vaped everything out of it that you wish. Typically, at standard vape temps, there is a bit of THC as well as a compliment of CBD/CBN's left in the cannabis after vaporization, so many like to save their ABV to use at a future date to make either edibles, tinctures or qwizo hash.

But yeah, if you have found a bakery that can make whatever you request, I agree with you that sticking strictly to edibles would be the best option.

I tried a full one so I could gauge the effects, and decided about 1/2 would probably be plenty for her to experiment with and go from there. So far she has liked the pleasant feeling she gets, and she likes to use it at night to goto sleep. However, she doesn't like using it during the day too much because she believes it makes her sleepy.

I'm assuming the edibles I got were Hybrid or Indica, would it make any difference as to the high she receives if I were to request it made with Sativa, or are those effects generally the same when ingested? I'm just trying to find a way for her to ingest it during the day for it's appetite stimulation, elevated mood, and pain killing applications, but not so much the "Wow I'm sleepy" nappy high part she's receiving currently.

Yup. The differences between Indicas and Sativas are still apparent when eaten. For daytime meds, edibles made with Sativa's are the way to go. Just watch the dosages, 'cause sometimes, they can get pretty ampy.

I went to my first Compassion meeting last night and got a lot of good information -- also as a bonus for myself and a surprise I got to try some of the best medication I've ever been around. As a recreational guy foremost, it's basically just been "Whatever this guy can get", and that was never good. Never been in a room with people going "This is White Widow, try a bit", "This is White Rhino, Try a bit", "This is Afghani Kush, try a bit". Needless to say, I'm fairly sure I no long can remember 3-4 hours of my life last night.

One thing I was very curious about was the ABV's you were talking about. Can you link me to any medical information on that? I've never heard of anyone doing that before and I'd really like to learn about it. I know that CBD/CBN's are thought to really help Cancer patients, so being able to have "weaker" edibles THC wise for her but chalk full of those good guys could be really good for her. I'd love to read anymore information on the subject if you could toss me some links.
