@AfgVet was wondering what options might be good for someone battling cancer and cancer treatment side effects. Main thing she needs nausea relief and more appetite. It would have to be edible or lozenge or something. She wouldn’t consider smoking or vape.
Not to butt in, I know @AfgVet will have more info on this but I know from family experience that Granddaddy Purple works for nausea suppressant and appetite stimulant, great for chemo patients.
I 1005 agree that you need to look for terpine profiles to aid in what ails you
Thanks growdoc. I’ll take whatever experience and knowledge is available.
I’ve also know White Widow to be a great cancer strain.
Like Caligirl said, look at the terpine make up for different strains.
Thanks. I’ll look into those. Trying to figure out best method to get it in her. No way she will inhale anything. I don’t know if she could keep an edible down long enough to get the meds from it. I appreciate the input.
If she can’t ingest at all, you could make suppositories with glycerin and beeswax. Get her some comfort whatever it takes!
Exactly. And if I remember correctly, she would get the high from it either. It won’t pass through the liver. Also one of the more comfortable ways for the patient, as chemo can really intensify that high.
But first you need to make an oil. There’s the down and dirty Rick Simpson way that will get you’ll be able. to make with simple tools. There are a ton of videos on Youtube, just search Rick Simpson Oil. It’s not a clean oil, will have lipids and chlorophyll, but it will get the job done.
If you want, you can later refine your oil making. @Caligurl and I can help you with that. Cali may even have a post on it already
For suppositories, I use cocoa butter and coconut oil, then infuse the concentrate into the coconut oil.
One other idea is sublingual application. It is as easy as a tooth pick dipped in some FECO/Wax and under the tongue, if the person is able.
If I am out of my edibles I load up the tooth pick with some wax and smear it in Peanutbutter on a spoon. Straight FECO is not pleasant but if the wax is pretty clean it is not too bad.
Thanks for the input. I knew the forum would have the best info.
Auto truffle is going to look nice. Treated her like a photo so far and she is doing good.
Barf breath is getting her stretch mode fired up. She is thick.
Nice bushes
Ran out of power in the grow room this week. Had to turn off my portable ac to keep from tripping the breaker. I can still keep it under 90 with lights on without the portable AC.
Getting a good stretch out of the auto truffle. She’s happy. Keep inching the light up.
Barf breath is getting her stretch on. 10 days since flip and she isn’t showing preflower yet. Might get taller than the truffle.
Yep they all are on their own time in transition, some quick and slow looking great brother
Hope you are having a great Sunday
