Some powdered coffee creamers may be made with it.
“Don’t many heavy pot smokers have memory issues as they age?”
They had memory issues decades ago, but they don’t remember having them. Hence the need to smoke another doobie, to help combat Alzheimer’s.....Wait, what was the question?
It works pretty well in brownies.
some one brought some weed laced brownies to our office Christmas party. One of our girls had to type up a complex packing detail summary and when I got it it was a lot of gibberish. she had no clue
a salesman allowed “my ass is numb”
Ingredients
To replicate the mouthfeel of milk fats, nondairy creamers often contain hydrogenated vegetable-based fats, although nonfat nondairy creamers/whiteners also exist. Other common ingredients include solidified corn syrup and other sweeteners or/and flavourings (such as French vanilla, hazelnut and Irish cream); as well as sodium caseinate, a milk protein derivative (from casein) that does not contain lactose. The use of a milk derivative prompts some individuals and organisations - such as vegans and Jewish dietary law authorities - to classify the product as "dairy" rather than nondairy. Those who rely on this classification will either not consume the product (e.g. vegans) or will not use or consume it in conjunction with any meat products (e.g. observant Jews).[7] As with other processed food products, low calorie and low fat versions are available for non-dairy creamers.

Imho, cream and coconut oil are healthier.
Thanks! I just ordered oil that is from Canada.
I get it. In other words, if they get stoned they forget that they can’t remember anything.
Well most Alzheimer’s patients are not swinging baseball bats anyway and they already forget important things, so I’m not seeing a downside...
THC dissolves readily in alcohol so it’s simple to make medicinal liquors from premium street product. Essentially hemp oil is such a liquor, distilled. Might as well take a dram of alky for heart health.
I’m of the opinion that our Heavenly Father has given us everything we need to have a good life here. We just have to figure it out.
I tried a vaporizer this past week, CBD. Very pleasant, not anything like “smoking weed”, much more enjoyable.
See post# 5.
OK Folks, 63yo, was recently diagnosed with a cancerous tumor and subjected to the full force of Big Med. Tests, poking, proding etc., up to porta-cath placement and radiation and a scalpel. I opted to try a less invasive treatment, cannabinoids, which have had positive results (see Youtube, Rick Simpson Phoenix Tears)in reversing and curing cancer in terminally ill patients.
I am early into treatment, and the first measurable benefit is drop in blood pressure. I was at extreme hypertension and now at teenager level.
If I survive, I’ll let ya know.
Yes, there are many good reasons:
It's been observed many times that the lab-created or lab-isolated form of THC (Marinol) is not nearly as effective as direct extracts from the plant. Multiple studies of cancer/pain patients have shown the synthetic pill to not be as good as natural plant compounds.
It is possible to make a plant-based pill. However it's IMPOSSIBLE to properly dose any cannabinoid pill since it is fat soluble AND partially acid soluble (unlike any other drug class). A Marinol pill is a tiny acid-soluble bubble that holds oil.
The pill acts extremely slowly, absorption is never the same each time and tolerance changes constantly. Its absorption is highly affected by the fiber, fat%, fat type, PH of the foods you eat and stomach acid levels. Even how hot your food is impacts absorption.
The best method for patients are inhale-able vapor versions of true plant-based extracts. They get the natural compounds, it doesn't matter what's in their stomach and they can perfectly regulate the dose each and every time they need medication. There are three ways this is accomplished:
1) A prescription drug known as "Sativex". Basically an inhaler made from true cannabis extract. Very promising, very good patient reviews but extremely expensive.
2) Using a plant extract vaporizer to inhale laboratory-tested extracts. Some people claim it is more effective that Sativex and about half the price.
3) Using a digital plant vaporizer to "strip" and vaporize the active ingredients you want from unprocessed plants without smoking the plant. The least portable but by far it is considered to have the most medicating effects and also the cheapest. Someone can grow completely organic plants in their backyard or closet and create practically free medicine that can be consumed without smoking.
Now. they ALL get you high. Just like EVERY effective pain medication gets you high. Only it is not physically addictive like the opiates, doesn't destroy your liver, doesn't kill your stomach/appetite and can be grown for free.
Now guess which cannabis medication is approved by big government: the least effective one that costs the most and is made in a lab by big pharma.
And if you try and grow your own free organic medicine, in most states you can go to prison! Even with no evidence of dealing. Aint graft grand?
And for the record I've been very close to dozens of cannabis users for decades. They're ALL far more successful than average and many daily smokers are extremely successful- business owners, lawyers, doctors, scientists, etc. The successful ones simply don't talk about using it. Especially not to new people who don't express acceptance of cannabis first. Yes, I've seen many people get carried away and ignore responsibilities (just like can happen with video games, TV, social media, porn, books and FREE REPUBLIC). But I've NEVER met anyone who wasn't completely 100% functional within hours of putting it down. And no study has ever proved any permanent negative effects in even one single adult- nomatter how heavy the use.
Already done. THC has been synthesized and put in a non-intoxicating oral form for some time now.
I’d like to hope CBD would also have this amazing effect on the brain developing Alzheimer’s. Taking CBD oil is simple and you can live your life. There is usually a tiny bit of THC in it but the CBD counteracts the high. CBD is what medical marijuana patients who actually take it for serious conditions are taking.
Please remember: SMOKING is very unhealthy and puts toxins right into your brain, and that includes smoking marijuana. However, vaping, taking oils or tinctures orally, are healthy ways to ingest a medicinal herb. So if you are reading this and want to do your own experiment on Grandma, DO NOT HAVE HER START SMOKING LEAVES. Get oils or vaping stuff.
periodic reports might be worthwhile and certainly of interest.
Cbd oil is the primary one my elderly pets receive.
Hemp-derived. So thc is a non-issue.
Yeah, but THC is only ONE of the cannabinoids in marijuana, and may not be the active agent for this particular purpose. "Hash brownies" are probably the better course at this time,or powdered m.j. mixed with water and swallowed.
The fact that it actively removes the amyloid is wonderful news, as that can mean an actual curative, rather than a preventative (which would also be good).
I confess to a vested interest, in that my great-grandmother had severe dementia (great health otherwise, as she lived to a very ripe old age, dying when I was around four).
I am working with an oncologist to monitor results. I’ve just started treatment with commercially produced cannabanoids versus home-made (which was an emergency measure utilizing Everclear). I can post results occasionally if people are interested.
Hope your conventional MD is in on the loop and keeps everything under close watch. If I find something new & informative on the subject I’ll make sure to post it.
