Now a question, any of you caregivers dealt with Lupus before? We have a friend very interested in can a meds but it has been a mission trying to hit on just the right type. She feels juicing fresh leaves work best but this is hardly ever possible. So I guess we are looking for bud that has the same effect as juiced leaves, something that can be stored and used regularly... Any input would be great
High cbd flowers is what you want. Lupus is an auto immune disorder, and high cbd strains treat those very effectively. I've had two patients with auto immune issues (ulcerative cholitis, and rheumatoid arthritis) and the outcomes have been life changing. I do a dry ice extraction of the trichomes and then add that to room temp coconut oil (great carrier) so as not to activate the cannabinoids. Neither patient wants to smoke, and neither wants to get high.

Non-activated cannabis has little to no effects medically, you need to warm that coconut oil when you add that bubble hash to get some medical effects. If they don't want to get high I would suggest a CBD strain like ACDC or charlottes web.

Tell that to my patients. My patient with ulcerative cholitis was taking 20 mg of prednisone daily and had to go once a month to be hooked up to a IV for remicaid treatments and after 6 months of taking non activated canna-oil he is 100% off of all pharmaceuticals.

It works wonders.

In this case, getting high is not only not a problem but a definite bonus. So will probably go full spectrum, half decarbed half non decarbed. In particular what types have hit the mark in your experience? Idea is for her to have her own little indoor rig so the fresh leaves can always be an option too.

You can absolutely decarb it. My patients just prefer not to have the buzz.

I've grown HP-Tonic, Cannatonic 4, Valentinex, and Critical Mass from cbd crew. The Critical Mass was the only one grown from seed, and it was a beautiful plant with a 1:1 cbd/thc ratio which sounds like it would be perfect for you. I'm guessing any of these new crosses from Gage, Bodhi, etc would be a great fit for what you're looking for. I'm a bielever in the full spectrum treatments like you mentioned.

I did Shanti's original Critical Mass he did for MNS... I was pretty impressed with yield versus potency. So his 'cbd crew' gear is worth a go, very good to know. Much respect for that cat. I know he is old school and all but come on, White Widow, what a legend.

The buzz from the cbd plants is really great. It's unique and quite enjoyable. Surprisingly sativa-esque. I wrongly assumed that these would be more Indica
THIS has been something I have discovered much to my surprise... Many satties seem to be damn good for nerve pain, spasms, insomnia and a few other things I always thought of as what you would want an Indy for. Doesn't really seem to be a rule of thumb. The Dirty Sanches is a Sativa that puts you down big time for a good example. Perfect sleepy weed, but nobody growing it will even THINK Indica.

NIce. I was just looking at the critical mass from cbd crew. I got a buddy that suffers from seizures and this would be a game changer for him. I was curious if it really had a 1-1 ratio. I already picked up the sour blueberry from hso for this reason. Cheers.

Ohh for sure. I've been helping someone that has dravets syndrome (seizures) and the non activated coconut oil has worked so well for him. He has a feeding tube so it has to be in oil form.

Prior to trying this he would have several severe seizures every day. He's down to a couple a month now, and has weened himself off of the cocktail of pharmaceuticals he was on. Cognitive abilities are improving as well. He rarely talked up until about a year ago, and now he's chatting up a storm. Really unreal.

Healing fields...
Just always have to add that Gage do not guarantee high CBD in each pheno and make it very clear. Regardless of cbd, both Healing Fields and High Flyer are some of the most resin coated plants I have ever seen, hash maker's dream each leaf frosted to the tips. We have no testing available here so I have no idea about our cut of High Flyer, but she does the job for muscle and nerve relaxation which brought me much pain relief after my accident in October last year, but I am in two minds if it was a downright analgesic effect or whether the relaxing action on the nervous system just took enough pressure off to make things bearable. My right shoulder is still screwed, and to be very frank Jo crosses bring some pleasant numbness above and beyond anything but my 'Zombie Balls' cut which is downright paralytic and in no way recreational bud. But once again, it might be working on the actual problem rather than having any actual pain relieving effect. So bloody hard to nail it all down without the help of a surgeon. You guys are very lucky to have a compassionate medical cannabis system.
