I have a 90 year old patient looking to use cannabis

This is on a serious note. My mother is a massage therapist "no happy endings". Well, one her client's wife, is 90 years old. She has had heart surgery, cancer and other random shit that happens when you're older then shit.. well she is on daulidid, oxycotin, narco's and adderal and god knows what else. The lady has ton of energy, very up beat and does not act like 90.. she acts like she is 23.. lol.. well about 6 years ago I gave her some pot to try out, it was her first time to ever smoke pot. Well I didn't her anything again until last week. Her husband called me and said bring her a sample of everything.
Now basically that is what I am doing.
She is less then a hundred pounds... Tonight I am taking her 1 gram of Co2 oil with a e-cig
2 grams of BHO shatter split in 8 pills. So a 1/4 gram each pill.
2-16oz jars of coconut oil. One sativa domn and one indica domn.
And a quarter oz of four different strains. Mostly sativa domn hybrids.
She is looking for decreased pain and increase appetite.. And I am pretty sure she also needs something to help her sleep.
I guess my question is what do you all think would be the best way to go about this?
My first instinct say edibles and Co2 oil..
I don't have any high CBD strains, nor any pure indicas and I won't be here long enough to grow her any.

Any recommendations?

Happy Endings make everything feel better. So I would recommend you help mom out and give one to the guy. It will help relax him before he trips the fuck out on some Sativa heavy meds.

Good work! I don't know but keep the doses very low. She is extremely fragile and weak and BHO could be out of the question. Especially after witnessing what @KLITE did to my bf and myself with it.

How about a normal vape? I smoked joints with my gran who was nearly 90 and she was fine. It wasn't top grade skunk though!

Pretty much what lahada said.
Just don't over do it. You don't want her having a bad experience. If she's not used to cannabis, concentrates could easily be too strong starting her out.

I'd suggest the indica dom coconut oil and regular flowers for starters...

Definitely go with a low dose. It's easy to forget that someone just starting out has little to no tolerance. It would be easy to overdo it.

She's a grandma, surely she'd eata cookie?
I'm no pro when it comes to all the goodies available in cannabis form but, i do know that at my early 40's and after 20 plus years as a floor guy, if i eat edibles it knocks pain and aches down 10xbetter than smoking!

The co2 in e-cig tank is very smooth and not crazy intense like taking dabs. I split a gram and half of BHO between 10 couple capsules. Yeah 1/4 gram capsules would have been too strong probably.

When I was a teenager my mother couldn't sleep so I asked her if she wanted a pot yoghurt. She said yes so we proceeded to the kitchen together. I got a teaspoon and a little oil heated over a flame. I added the hash which melted quickly. Then I mixed it in the yoghurt. That should work I thought as she downed the whole thing.

I didn't see her again that day. She passed out for hours and didn't enjoy it. She was about 44 yrs old at the time. She never did it again.

So the moral of the story is: less is more!

Why not let her decide what works best for her? Just suggest she start small...she is 90 after all...pretty sure she can make a responsible decision.

I have direct experience with a 99 year old man, probably about 115 lbs, who finds smoking flowers to be by far the most agreeable for him. He is now 100, and has since had to stop smoking (or is supposed to be stopping) due to a lung condition, he "didn't like the feeling" of edibles even in small doses, and to him it just "wasn't worth it" to go for edibles, That said, personally, I wouldn't give my friend 1/4G shatter pills, but at their age, it is so much more of an individual experience, so low an slow would I think is probably the best way to get her started, at least for a week or so while she adjusts to the medicine. Best wishes!

Flowers only, a little rolling machine, some papers and a snuffer. Teach her to take one puff, wait 1 hour then take 2 puffs repeat until she feels an effect. She can dial it in from there. Make sure she understands that she doesn't have to smoke the entire joint at one sitting and can re-light them and snuff them.

Keep it very, VERY simple, you are contemplating giving a Schedule 1 drug to a medically fragile patient the ramifications of which can be enormous, for both of you. If it were me I might re-think giving her anything at all until she was off the opiates and speed.

That's it nothing more, as @lahadaextranjera said, "less is more".

I can chime in here on the side of start slowly.

I gave my mom one edible cookie- all of us regular tokers loved them and thought they were fine.

She threw up half an hour after she ate it, and was stoned into the next day.

Honestly, don't try edibles first- @curious2garden has a very good idea with her introductory regimen. MMJ is strong medicine, you need to treat it and those who want to try it for serious conditions (being 90 definitely qualifies) with respect and restraint.

My own grandmother lived to be six weeks shy of her 105th. She was in a lot of pain towards the end and I dearly wished she could have allowed herself to try MMJ. Alas, she completely believed her generation's propaganda...

You're doing good work, my brother. Start slow and let her tell you what's working for her.

Titration is key. Like curious2garden said start with one small hit, then wait. Then a bit more and wait.

Even you seasoned smokers might be surprised how much just one hit will affect you. Try it some time.

I usually just take a hit or two myself.. for a while I was big on dabbing but now I get too high..

All is good with the lady, my mom said she is feeling better.. but she over did it with the edibles once lol.. its bound to happen..

The best part about mj is it won't kill you.

A joint a day keeps death at bay
