Having a rough time taking a break.

[Dawntreader]

Are you mixing me up with another member? I didn't say that I worry if I don't have enough, and i'm not sure what you mean about posting about everything from cigs to alcohol? Huh?

Please let me know how i'm being hypocritical?

This kinda sounds like it was referring to one of my posts on this thread? I did not intend to sound hypocritical, only highlight my own OCD behavior - and if i strayed from the thread topic too much with references to other addictive substances, i apologize~

 

[CarolKing]

@LongIslandmom I'm sure you are a bit stressed. Your surgery is Thurs.? Hopefully you are feeling OK? I was looking up throat polyp online. It sounds like most of the time it's not cancer. I'm thinking positive for you. Wishing you all the best and a calm demeanor.

No babe this was all me. I just misread it. I'm glad everyone read it. Biohacker are we good? Dawntreader: you advice was awesome. I want to make the butter. Forgive me; I'm a little stressed right now and as I said, I've never social networked before. Man I could really use a good grateful dead show right now. But as I said breaks can be good and I think I will feel better on Friday

 

[Dawntreader]

@LongIslandmom , no worries just good vibes

As to the butter, i am glad to give u recipe but i just jumped over here from the magical butter thread and those guys have their shit together! I feel like a baby! LOL!

Just know that you are taking LOTS of good vibes from this group in with you on Thursday. Vibrations are STRONG medicine and every little bit helps.

And if JG knows, he is probably sending good vibes too.

This has been a fantastic thread to read. I am currently a graduate student and have been recently been reviewing literature on substance abuse and behavioral patterns which is why I appreciate everyone posting their personal stories. Whether or not cannabis has addictive physiological properties, breaking a daily routine can be really difficult and often times painful! Sometimes these internal pains can actually manifest themselves physically (somatoform disorders).

I wish everyone the best of luck when embarking on the dreaded t-break especially those of you who are medical users!


Oh and good luck longisland mom!

 

[LongIslandmom]

I miss him too. That's a great pic. I'm also a stones and bruce fan, see even a further show would be a good reason to break. This is when it gets hard. What a drag it is getting old

Well my 21 yr old just got home from work so now it's time to serve the 3rd dinner of the night. Teriyaki pork chops and garlic mashed potatoes; how hard could brownies be?

Peace out

I'm thinking of our FC member @LongIslandmom. She is having her surgery today on her polyps in her throat. I'm wishing her a speedy recovery and a healthy body. Many more years of life on this beautiful planet.

Does carol King rock or what? She is the kindest member ever. Yes I'm back; don't know the results yet but dr said it went well and saw nothing unusual. Throat hurts but everything else seems fine

I would love for us all meet up at 2015 cannabis cup (ok everyone wants to meet up there)

Thanks for all support fc members. The good vibrations may have worked!!! Hope to get a green light to break in a month. I will have to make that judgement call. I mean really what ENT doctor is going to say "yeah you go to your Friday nite thing. Here is the vaporizer I would suggest". I live in la la land sometimes

 

[NorVape]

This is a beautiful place sometimes, this forum - @CarolKing, empathic people makes everyones day better

I wish you a speedy recovery, @LongIslandmom, and btw, if you're considering edibles I strongly suggest reading BatKittySmiles recipe for canna caps. I absolutely love them, and they actually made me quit combustion when I had throat and lung issues, and didn't really know to much about vaping. Eating loads of stuff to get high isn't the most pleasant when your throat hurts, but a small capsule wasn't a problem for me. And also very portable.

Ask if you have questions, I have made them quite often

Get well

Yes what are canna caps? I must have an oz of AVB. Will that work

You know if everyone was as mellow and kind as the members are here we wouldn't be tearing up the Middle East right now. A dose could do a lot of adults in the nation some good.

It would also help me tolerate my Saints team right now who just suck!!! Check out my new post in the activism thread; ok I got a little carried away

 

[NorVape]

You buy empty capsules, and fill them with a cannabis infused coconut oil - and if you follow Bad Kitty Smiles recipe you will get capsules that are more effective, meaning you can use less material to get the desired effects and a quicker onset of the said effects

Check it out: https://www.greenpassion.org/index.php/topic/34194-badkittysmiles-canna-caps/

I just made my first batch of ABV based capsules, usually I've been using Moroccan hash.

 

[CarolKing]

Canna Caps is when you use ABV or decarbed cannabis (220 degrees in oven) Then you cook it on low heat with coconut oil for a period of time, 12 hours and then transfer to capsules. You can do that with Rick Simpson Oil. If a person can just buy the oil.

I picked up some capsules at the dispensary 100 mg THC. I will try them out over the weekend. I plan to try 1 capsule before bed to help with sleep.

I don't want to try during the week in case they makes me too drowsy. Need to be alert during the day.

Ok I keep hitting the undo button.

I will look up the link. If you don't live in MMJ state where do get empty caps. Can I mix AVB with some fresh. (Have I asked that for the 10th time already). If I use both will cooking it in the slow cooker de carb the fresh herb. I feel better today but it's still hurts to swallow; I don't like the pain meds; only took 1 today.

Here is something; my youngest child is mentally handicapped. He is the most awesome child. He barley reads but he has been reading all my responses. I keep it very simple and short it make me so happy to see him reading. (oh if only I learned to do that here.)


Looking at site. Interested in caps; can somewhat manage the dose. No eating; can keep it away from my boys who would eat everything in site. I never thought I would be I be in such a tight spot. I miss my Friday night ritual.

But all my kids are here and that's always a happy time. And Jon read stuff that I wrote. It's huge!!

 

[NorVape]

I live in a prohibition country, but empty caps are sold for a number of legit reasons. Health food stores, pharmacies etc all sell them. Use a syringe or the like to fill them

Unfortunately I have no decarbing experience, since I've only used abv or imported (smuggled rather hehe) Moroccan hash. Decarbing seems to only be necessary with fresh modern hashes and buds.

But yeah, you can mix anything with active ingredients in it and it will work

It probably seems hard, but it's actually quite easy

Your youngest sounds awesome! In Siberia, some tribes didn't call them mentally handicapped etc because they didn't view them as handicapped. They called them "the ones who are touched by angels". They believed they view the world differently then us, because while they were traveling through the skies to be born in to this world, the angels touched them as they flew by, making them purer beings then the rest of us "normal" people. This was not viewed as a handicap, but a gift, and they walked freely in the communities, being fed, cared for and looked after by the whole community, due to them being closer to God. Isn't that a beautiful thing?

Anyways, good to hear you're feeling better @LongIslandmom

I feel so sad! I know I should be more concerned about my throat. Tried to speak today an all I got was a little squeak. My ENT says that's normal. I will not try again for a few days. I don't think this cancer. I feel like I'm losing my best friend. At this point I would be nervous to even try it with evo. And the cotton water tool; it seems so overwhelming. I just love it so much. It helps me relax; I haven't listened to music since this whole thing started. I realize I am acting like a baby.

 

[cybrguy]

Hey @LongIslandmom. I hope your throat is feeling better. It shouldn't be long now...

 

[LongIslandmom]

Thanks so much. Today is day 30 of my break. Hopefully tomorrow we get the biopsy. In my gut, I just know it's not cancer. So sad not to be able to do my weekend thing. My throat is feeling better but all I get out is a little squeak. I could be in a silent Bob movie. I just love this site; it gives me hope.

I have the xhale; I just love it. I may have to sell it It took me a long time to grow up. It was the cigarettes not the pot that did me in. Still acting like a baby but love that you wrote back

You know if this goes well and I'm in better shape why can't a bunch of us meet at the Co Cannabis Cup? It would be such fun

Never give up; never surrender!!

@NorVape, That was so sweet about how they view the handicapped in Siberia. That is something wonderful I will always remember what you said. It actually brought tears to my eyes.

 

[LongIslandmom]

I'm coming up on the 48th hour of my first break in 5 years, and wow do I feel horrible. I have varying degrees of nausea, and I can barely eat. I was not anticipating feeling this bad. Can anyone give me some pointers or give me an idea when this feeling will subside? The only good side is feeling this bad is keeping me motivated because I don't want to be like this.

How is the break going?

I'm 30 days strong

Hate it

So last night was my first night with vapour in months, and it sure did suck. I maybe slept an hour or two at the most, but completely broken and I could feel the sweat pooling in my chest and back, I also had to urinate every hour and a half or so....got up 5 times total between 11 and 6:30. If it wasn't for that, my night sweats would have been horrendous. This is 100% withdrawal, it's incredible how much water I drop during the first couple of days. This morning was serious cold chills and as expected feeling like the flu, which all went away with a few rips from the Herbie and now I can function.

My plan instead of cold turkey (those were some serious times that I do not care to replicate), is to try something completely different and at least see where it takes me. I'm going to vape a little in the morning to be abe to function, and then call it for the day unless there is a serious medical need. This way i'm hoping my body cleanses or goes through the nightly thing and learn how to sleep again. I know i'll become somewhat dependent on the morning vape, but I think that one will be easier for me to kick. I seriously hope to lower my tolerance vastly, and have the capability to be able to sleep without it, which I have only been able to do after several weeks of cold turkey in the past.

Apparently, just in the province in Ontario (canada) there are something like 30,000 people being treated for cannabis dependence annually. (From today's article CAMH Canada's Largest Addictions Centre says pot should be legalized)

 

[grokit]

I'm trying the same type of thing, one dose for w&b then nothing until 4:20

 

[RUDE BOY]

Biohacker you talk about Night Sweats a lot but in withdrawal usually you just have the sweats day or night.

Real Night Sweats can be indicative of a number of health problems some serious some not. But if night sweats continue I think it could be a good idea to have your Doctor have a complete blood panel done including a whole blood assay.

Just a thought that kept came to mind reading your posts just now but I'm pretty well baked so ....

Hope you get it all sorted out and feel well soon.
