Thank you. What a lot of oil! I hope you don't go broke! I read that there may be some concern about liver damage with too much oil. I think you can get a blood test to find out about that, if you are concerned.

I also grow outdoors. White Widow is my choice for insomnia and pain relief. It does very well outdoors here in SoCal, especially when LST'd into a spiral to keep branches low for less wind damage. It is also purported to have a high THC/CBD content. I harvest late, when about 33% of tricomes are amber for higher CBD content (for greater pain relief and sleep). I have been able to cut down on pain meds significantly with cannabis supplementation. (I have advanced Ankylosing Spondylitis) King Louis is also one of my fav's. OH and Pg3, consuming cannabis orally is the most efficient method of extracting THC/CBD and no health risks. My brownies are definitely blackout level. My recipe is in that section. Try it!

To get a "shit load" of content from your cannabis, eat it! Decarb'ed of course. Easier than making oil I just throw finely ground decarbed bud right into the mix, adding extra liquid as needed. I also dump my vape leftovers in the batch and can concoct a blackout level brownie that a cubic inch will provide about 150mg THC and CBD. Don't know the math for the CBN measurement. Anybody know this equation?

Try having a look for CBD/Melatonin capsules.
Insomnia can be caused by a deficiency in Melatonin, a hormone that triggers the brain into saying it's time to sleep, and without that, especially if you are also low on vitamin D3 like much of the Western world is thanks to us covering ourselves up and not exposing our skin to enough natural sunlight (genetic factors play a part there too). Add in the CBD and the natural sedative effect can help you into blissful slumber.
So weed MIGHT help you "sleep", but that's only treating the symptom and not the cause and also does not mean you'll get the "right kind" of sleep.
Oh, and one of the biggest ones? Learn to accept that you might not get a full night's sleep, for the second you think "Here we go, I hope I sleep tonight" is the second you won't. My insomnia is seriously chronic, I "sleep like a baby" as in I waken ever 1-2 hours for no reason whatsoever, have been like that for at least 20 years, I accept that I won't get what they say is a "good night's sleep" but the sleep I do get is quality sleep so is enough for my body. That, alone, can make a huge difference.

I'll check out your BOB's., but I agree with you on that strain, and I too, have multiple back ailments, disc joint and nerve damage and choose no surgery. King Louie is a dandy for that.

I have a Exus Snap. It's a little larger than a BIC. It has 3 temperature settings and the battery will last more than a day (USB recharge). It holds about .5ml of juice, easy to refill. It is nice to use IF you keep the atomizer holes clean and make sure there is nothing between the atomizer cartage and the base. Just wipe it out with a Q-tip if stops working. If you think you have to have a degree in art just to be able to draw thru it the atomizer holes probably cloged.
I carry mine in my watch pocket while I work outside so it has to be cleaned ofter.

I can understand about getting legal. Oklahoma just went legal. I have a really good Medical Marijuana Doctor (MMD). Got my prescription a few weeks ago and tomorrow he is going to fill out my application. He said it would be best for him to do it because it's very easy to mess it up. The state has to accept or deny within 14 days.
Good luck on getting there soon.

I could get a medical card now, the govnr Just changed the med laws so anyone that is or has been prescribed opiates for chronic pain are now eligible. BUT, i choose to stay off the radar until the fed says its legal

I thought about that, too, but I am 79 this month. That doesn't leave much time for me to mess around and wait. Also, what are they going to do, put me in jail...And support an old man. I don't think even the government would be that dumb. Like, "Here's this old guy that's taking care of himself. Let's put him in prison and make him let us pay the bill."
If the state says I'm legal... I better stop here and relax my brain. I'm starting to get pissed at the government.

As a 50 something cancer patient, I really appreciate my medical license. No cat and mouse BS. My plants are right out in the open for any farm visitor to spot if they look. I am a respectable citizen of my community, county and state.
As far as the Feds go......

I just got home from the Doc's office. They filed my application for me. When I made my first appointment with him the state required at least two visits to a MMD so he would use the second to to file the apps. Now only one visit so he doesn't do it any more, except for the people before the change.
14 days and I'll have a plant on my front porch!!!
