not a bong,

I love steamrollers, but she may gag on it.

No water, she won't get as high.

Smoke a bowl. Just a normal pipe, so she can get the pure taste of herb.

but, hey, make sure that it's clean as a whistle before you pack it, you don't want your mother associating 'resin-hits' with great weed.

Hey, Johnny -

I have fibro, along with lupus, and a whole host of auto-immune problems...and it's a bitch. I'm probably your mom's age or older (46), but to reiterate what Beachguy was saying, MJ is the only real "medicine" I take that works. I'm really familiar with that neck & face pain that is SO bad sometimes, all you can do is throw up.

Here's a tip for you, and it will be a lot easier on your mom's body. Have you considered cooking up something with it, so that she doesn't end up ingesting smoke? I developed a mass and some other problems in my throat (b/c of my out of control immune system) and haven't smoked in over 3 yrs. Now, I would never go back to smoking it, even if I could.

The easiest way to do this is the "Mother's Milk" recipe (no pun intended). Just mix 8 oz. of WHOLE milk and 8 oz. of bottled/purified water together into a crockpot. Then finely grind 1 tablespoon of bud (a coffee grinder is ideal for this) & add it to the mix. Let it slow cook for 3-4 hrs. (preferably on "high" if you have a choice of settings). At that point, turn off the pot, pour the mixture into a saucepan, & let it cool. When it's cool enough, strain it into a measuring cup through a piece of cheesecloth. Pour the mixture into a clean, dry ice cube tray....you'll have exactly enough to fill a standard tray. THAT'S IT! Put your tray on a level shelf in the freezer, and in a few hours, you'll have some powerful little green ice cubes. Each one constitutes a "dose", so being able to use one at a time while keeping the rest fresh frozen is extremely convenient. You can put the cube into a cup of coffee, chai tea, anything milk-based, a chocolate drink (my favorite)...so you can use it hot or cold. Just one thing - when you cook THC out of pot, it's VERY powerful, so have your mom start with just a light sip or two of this stuff. Ask her how she's feeling in 1/2 to 1 hr (it's probably best if she can eat a little something with it so it doesn't hit her like a hammer, but just creeps up).

I swear by this recipe...it's the easiest, most convenient way to take your THC orally, and most importantly, there's no waste! 1 tablespoon goes a long, long way! The worst thing your mom can do right now is start smoking anything. Using this stuff makes me functional, and every prescription drug my docs have thrown at me has failed...miserably.

Try it...I think you'll like it, too.
