RE: Gone to Pot Retirement Home Concept
Actually, CBD and THC don't have an effect on how sleepy you are. It's the terpenes. This is why a 10%cbd/24%THC indica has completely different effects than the exact same ratio in a sativa strain. Any use of CBD should include THC as well, otherwise you end up with the bell curve effect with plain CBD. I use only sativa strains and sativa dominant hybrids, for treating my pain and autism.
You'll be seeing cannabis friendly homes in colorado before long, I'm sure. Since it's legal here for anyone over 21, all it takes is a facility to make the decision. No extra paperwork required. ;)
I typically use Indicas for night-time. I have to be up over 20% THC for my body to be able to sleep. I have tried a lot of combinations of CBD% and THC% over the years and like select indicas, sativas and hybrids for specific applications. My preferred method of ingestion is eating medium chain triglyceride infused coconut oil. Everything determined by trial and error for my body, over time. I agree with using the whole plant profile. Terpenes and flavinoids do not get the recognition that they deserve.
Interesting, when I use indicas at night I have hangovers in the morning. lol
Have you tried using olive or ghee as your carrier oil? You may be the right blood type for coconut, most people are not. I know my body does not digest coconut oil very well at all, so putting the cannabinoids into it just locks it away from my body. lol
Terpene research is continually bringing amazing things to light. I read myrcene at greater than .05% (? Might be .5%) is what makes a strain start 'feeling' like an indica. The terpene homulene has been linked to being 'not good' for people with seizure issues, found in Kush and strains with Kush lineage. Explains why I've always had issues with kush. lol
Cannabis is simply amazing. Cannabinoids affect every cell in the body, unlike any other plant on the earth.
That's incredible info! It's so odd, I work with a lot of Canandian Veterans, (I'm located in Canada) and all Kush Strains and high % CBDs are what is working for the effective treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. People are literally chasing Kush strains and any high CBD strain across the country. We are having huge crop management issues as we only have 34 Health Canada sanctioned growers across our country who are supplying 70,000 patients. The number of medical cannabis patients has doubled in less than a year and there isn't any sign that the avalanche is going to slow down. Full legalization has been promised by our government by Apr. 2017. I can see a day that strains will be grown and customized specifically for individual diseases. The coconut oil I use is medium chain. It doesn't contain very much long chain and as a result absorbs very easily and quickly. I have tried both olive and ghee but prefer the mct coconut. I have used cannabis to successfully keep multiple sclerosis in remission for the last 8 years.
