Although they do alleviate his pain to a point, he is so uncomfortable he stops taking it.

Which brings me to ask this question: If I had access to high CBD Strains such as CBD Crew Nordle and Critical Mass, could I heat the oil and burn off some of the THC? I know THC has lower flash points than CBD so I thought I would ask the question.

I am going to first make the oil using the standard extraction methods but if it's still too strong, I would like to know if i could cook off some of the THC.
My best advice would be to find a different strain, like Tora Bora, it is high in CBD and low in THC. Something else to consider, if the patient take three equal size doses per day, eventually the patient will build up a tolerance to the oil. This can take up to six weeks, sometimes more. If that is not possible to take three doses per day, there are other options, I do not recommend overheating the product to convert the THC to CBN. That is a no, no in my opinion. You would also be burning off most of the CBD's then the oil would really serve no purpose medicinally speaking. I think there are two better options using the current strains that you have. Harvest early or just harvest the lower buds early. Keep doing it earlier until you achieve the desired potency. Maybe better yet, do not activate the THC with heat. Use less heat than what is required to decarb THC. Many of the other compounds get decarbed at lower temperatures than THC. Then your patient would be consuming THCa and not THC or CBN. I am not sure, but currently I believe that it is CBN that causes a lot of the anxiety feelings, I have not confirmed this though. I think lower temperatures may be the solution or early harvest. Now letting the oil sit too long before the patient consumes it, the oil could naturally slowly decarb to THC. Like six weeks or longer.

Just my two cents. Good luck and God bless.
