Hi I_Smoke,
I'm lucky enough to live in California, centrally located as well. I have looked at the menus of many places, online however, and the THC levels are still too high for me. I keep getting told that it is on the horizon, but that is where it seems to stay, just out of reach. I was so inspired by the story that Sanjay Gupta followed on his special "Weed", about the children with the massive seizure issues - the strain that they were able to procure for them had a relatively high level of CBDs and a THC level of only .05.

The reason this medicine sounds so promising to me is that anti-seizure meds are often prescribed to treat neuropathic pain off label", because, to vastly simplify it, they quiet the nervous system. I take 4 anti-seizure meds a day, enough to drop a horse to it's knees. After watching it I knew that someone out there had reached my Holy Grail and bred a practically THC-free strain (safe enough for kids!) , but these people are all in Colorado and I am here. I have since been unable to find anything on anyone's lists/menus/etc here in CA. I did learn a lot however, so it wasn't all for nothing.

When you say research centers, are you talking about dispensaries, or are there places that do actual research that are not related to dispensaries? Please pardon me if any of my questions are naive or ignorant. It is a pity that that extraction method that you speak of is illegal, if it could be used to improve someone's quality of life - I don't know the details however. Thanks for answering I look forward to hearing more on this topic:clap:
