you'll be slower in the am after taking canna but aware and happy. :)
Maybe try .025 first and see how that goes.
If ya need any help measuring some out.. Just ask.
You can easily make up a couple grams from a couple OZ's. Really, you should get about 2 to 4 grams of oil depending on the bud used. Five grams would be enough for a good long time...
@ .050mls or 50 mg's a night.
5 grams would last you. 100 days.
Id say after three weeks you;ll be taking 100 mg'/night.
and feeling like a million bucks too ;)
what ever you do...DONT TAKE TO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!...try the 25 mg's first like I said.
Everyone is different. It could lay you out flat or you might not feel it..(I doubt that) but you never know.
Some frozen 99% and frozen herb and you could have some meds in a few hours.

I have been doing some iso and ethanol...qwiso hash....to experiment...with my trims and bottoms....
and I have been getting about 3 to 5 grams return...per oz...its usually a nice clear solutions which will slightly yellow as it
vapors off...
I have been doing everything as cold as possible...to avoid extracting any of the green....

So how do I talk to my doc about MM? just tell em, Ive used it for sleeplessness before and it works and if they don't support it ask for another doc? Or should I get a sleep specialist referral and tell that doc. My doc is a pharmacist as well and I'm guessing she's probably not going to be too receptive to the idea, even though she should know more than anyone about the effects of taking medications.

You need to get your facts on paper and go in there with your shit together...do not let them bully you...you have a right to access mj for medical purposes period.

another thing 2Palk...if the original doctor does not want to approve your paperwork...then you should ask for a referral but also ask for a letter of refusal...from the original doctor...since these things will go along way to proving whether or not you have been given access ....should anything happen to you later and you ended up in court...example...you get caught with black market meds...
Most judges would dismiss based on the fact you had tried to become legal...(where the letter of refusal comes in...)
The sleep specialist may want to do a sleep study...where you spend a night with them at their facility...and they monitor your sleep habits,but not always...
You can expect that most doctors, you could be referred to, will charge you a fee for doing the paperwork and providing a prescription....average now seems around a couple of hundred bucks..
The fact the your doc may be a pharmacist as well....wow,, that's a lot of education...lol sounds like he/she is quite
intelligent...so it could probably go either way...depending on the doctors personal belief....
Stick to you guns without....getting confrontational.. since you know that mmj helps you...and its so much better
health wise....
Doctor's also are more receptive of the fact that you will be vapourizing. or making edibles, rather than smoking...
so keep that in mind as well...
good luck...and go prepared.

Thank you for taking the time to lay that out.
Will let you know how it goes.
ISO for an oil newbie?

Tell me more about this oil. I've got a family member needing sleep aid. Just tried bubble and bread, but neither worked.
She's very interested in finding something like an oil, but prefers anything not required to smoke.

@gb123 can you recommend a specific strain?
How are you taking the oil? Drops beneath the tongue?

More of a newbie than leaf when it comes to this side of things.

Will try some LA. May also try extracting some Conkushion as it seems to work in dried flower form.

I never sleep for more than 4-6 hrs,always been like that.When i was taking ativan it was 7-10.I have come to the conclusion,that some of us just don't need the stantard 6-8 most people need to function.

still would be nice to sleep in and actually sleep...for a full 6 or 8....I personally can not remember That many hours
in a row....of actual sleep...and 7 hours on the heart lung machine...don't count...lol...though if I had not been scared to death.....it would have been very restful....

Like you whatfg...I am always listening for strain info...when people mention very specific strains...for things like sleep..or pain.... neuro...because the way I figure it....if a couple of people are saying Xstrain...works excellent for.....Blah Blah Blah...
then for a small cash investment and some area in the grow room...I can also experiment.....and see if those strains also work for me...
realistically....without us networking...on sites like this...It would be a daunting task....to try...like 2500 different strains...
to see which ones do what...So its also sites like this..that can make that task at least possible.... to some extent...
since the shared experience..can be a very educational....
