fibromyalgia question

[Lady D]

Hi Johnny - good question! I guess I wasn't clear. Remember that we're talking about 1 tablespoon of ground herb. I'm not sure how that translates into grams. I suggest you go to your local market, Williams-Sonoma, anywhere they sell cooking supplies/utensils, and pick up a set of those little measuring spoons on a ring (the tablespoon being the largest). OK - so start by grinding a couple of decent sized buds in your grinder, and scraping them out into the measuring spoon. Tap the ground bud down, and if you don't have enough, grind some more. You want to make sure you have a LEVEL tblsp. of tapped down weed in the spoon.

About your other question - the beauty of cooking with weed is that you DON'T need medicinal grade herb (although it is the best ) to make a potent libation or other recipe. I know people who have used shake or absolute ditchweed for this recipe, and have been very pleased with the results. Remember, ingesting the herb through your digestive system is a slightly different high, very body-oriented, no matter what kind of grass you're using. As long as you don't go overboard, it's a very effective muscle relaxant, potent analgesic, and a great immunosuppressive (fibromyalgia is ALSO an autoimmune disorder). Within 20 minutes of taking this stuff on a really bad day, the burning under my skin just stops, I can think clearly because my pain is manageable (if not gone!), the arthritis aspects of the disease wane...I know I'm going on about this, but medical studies all over the world are proving that MJ has tremendous potential for treating autoimmune diseases because of the properties I just described. It's been a lifesaver for me. And I swear to god, J - 2 sips is generally enough for me, and I'm used to it. So try it out with your mom, but DON'T let her drink something with an entire dose (ice cube) in it! She'll freak out, and not want to try it again. Give her a sip (maybe in a cold drink - Ensure is good for this), and put it back in the fridge in a closed container. I imagine even when she gets used to the stuff, one dose will last her a couple of days. P.S. I generally put 1 cube into 4 oz. (1/2 cup) of palatable drink, and stick it in the fridge. Ensure is good b/c it's non-dairy, and will keep for 2-3 days, no problem. Let me know how your experiment works out, and if your mom has any questions/fears, whatever, that I can address. Take care, and good luck. I've got a good feeling about this one!

if i drank 1 ice cube how bad ( i mean amazing) would it be? b/c you say 2 sips that doesnt seem like that much

[johnny cottonmouth]

wow i just got a pill from my mom to make me go to sleep and its kicking in right know. im trippin out. the key board is moving farther and farther away from mee. when i close my eyes i see a holw lotta things like Phoinex's flying around and snakes eating trees and shit. the letters are moving. ok i think im done for a little while.wow it kicked in only 15-20 min.

uh oh, I turn my back for one second and you go on a drug-binge?

[Lady D]

Yeah, beachguy - notice how quickly this thread turned from concern for his mom's health to "how fuckin' high can I get from this stuff??!"

May I remind everyone that the recipe & tips I posted for this yutz (who I now realize has to be a minor) were for his MOM, who IS an adult, and does suffer from a painful medical condition? Too bad she'll probably never see the medicine that can best help her, b/c her son is too busy getting wasted and posting fine examples of his generation's self-absorbed worthlessness rather than helping her out.

Grow the fuck up, JC, and don't ask any more "medical" MJ questions, because you're really not interested in the herb's medicinal properties. I'm REALLY sorry I wasted my time on this one.

[johnny cottonmouth]

sorry i in no way ment to give anyone that impression. i DO want to try to help my mom out but i havent had the time to make the recipe for her. and yes of course i am going to try it. but im not going to make a batch and keep it all to myself. im fine with using it the traditional way. i simple asked what you ment by 2 sips. 2 sips out of a cup with one ice cube or what. and since i have never ingested MJ i dont know the effects of it and was wondering how strong a whole ice cube would be. oh and the pill was given to me by my mom on her own free will to make go to sleep. b/c she didnt think i would enough sleep for my second job i just got. and yes i am 18.
Thanks for the help all
Happy Day,
JC
