    I have a question on juicing the fan leaves. I have a Breviile juicer that I use for juicing fruits and veggies, does this work for the fan leaves? Is there another way to use the fan leaves also, say steep in hot water for tea? Daughter is starting to use ACDC strain 20/1 in a tincture of...

    Bobbyearle, Thank you for your great suggestions. I looked at the Elemental Wellness website and did not see the variety you mentioned. I see Canna- Tsu, high CBD. Can you send me a link to the 20/1 variety. That sound perfect.

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    The Rick Simpson oil my daughter bought is CBD 25.71% and 89.04% THC. The dispensary said that it is made from Indica variety and it doesn't need to total 100%. Way too strong for her,makes her feel very high. She will try the Kind Caps and CBD lozenges. Her IBD symptoms have improved over the...

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    I just looked up the RSO we bought from Amsterdam Gardens in San Jose. It is 89 THC and only 25 CBD.It's supposed to be great for skin cancer! She also purchased Kind Caps that are 10.2 THC and 11.6 mg. But hasn't tried them yet. They say CBD enriched? That sounds promising. The lonzenges have...

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    I will ask the dispensary which strain was used for RSO that she purchased. She has tried taking the oil in morning or evening and still has unpleasant side effects. Before finding the RSO, she was using medical cannabis lozenges that are THC 5mg and CBD 25 mg. these did not have such noticeable...

    Well, the RSO is causing my 20 year old to experience unpleasant effects, both visual and auditory, when the dose is raised.This makes concentrating on school work difficult. She also wakes up with a headache. Does anyone have a suggestion where we can find marijuana that has only CBD and very...

    bobbyearle, My daughter tried using more RSO last night and it was too strong for her. She had trouble getting out of bed this morning. She felt dizzy and nauseous. Did make it to class but was late. She may be sensitive and needs to work up the dose slowly. Are these common side effects? She...

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    cca2013, do you think once you start your job you will be able to talk to your boss about your use of MMJ for a medical condition? Are you working at a job, like air traffic controller, where you will be tested frequently? It seems if you medicate at night you will be fine the next day at work?

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    Bobbyearle, I have a question about dosing for RSO. My daughter uses a rice size amount and mixes it with cocoanut oil and divides it in two portions. This amount doesn't cause her any problems when she is doing school work, but do you think this is enough to bring down inflammation?

    Sticky Medical Marijuana for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

    After my daughter's recent 10 day hospitalization for C-diff infection, I can say that MMJ did not help her. She was taking daily doses of Rick Simpson Oil and kept getting worse. After courses of Vancomysn and Flagyl that knocked out the nasty c- diff she is trying again. It seems to help with...
