Hash Oil Cures Cancer!

[Rowdy420]

My Father passed away over 5 years ago to cancer, he went through the whole chemo thing. It is the treatments of radiation that eventually killed his body to the point which he couldn't make any platelets and had to have blood transfusions until he died.

Doctors are in the same boat as everyone else when it comes to not knowing what is going to cure something from one patient to the next, That is why they call it "practicing" medicine. If experience is the only thing they base their knowledge off of why don't they take into consideration all the Chinese history.

It may be just a belief that herb can heal your body but, I have witnessed a very elderly gentleman that our great medical community basically gave up on and started him on an opiate diet that was killing him faster than he would have with out big Pharma. His grandson and I made a batch of bubble hash and administered .5 gram pills to help get him off the opiates. The hash did help and he eventually started eating again and gained some weight back. This man did die but was able to free himself of the opiate poison and die with some dignity. This wasn't a cure but when my Dad was in the hospital they gave him a dose of morphine and after watching my father toss and turn for a couple hours he snapped outta the haze and told me never let them give him any of that shit again! I wish that I could have done more towards pushing my father to use cannabis to help with the pain management. Don't let doctors steer you away from alternative treatments! CBD research has grabbed my eye lately, we will find help!

Sorry for your loss,
Peace Rowdy

ok heres the update its a very good one:
cat scan shows every single tumor (its lymphoma so its in 5 different places) has shrunk by at least 50% one of them (the biggest) went from 3 cm to 12mm. the doctor said lymphoma can wax and wane sometimes, but that this was a very marked regression for such an involved cancer.

but the best thing about our visit was when pop decides to add Cannabis to the list of meds he is taking, which they ask you to verify and update on every visit. he has never done this but i think he really feels the heavy oil ingestion is having a positive effect and he wants it on record more than he is worried about reprecussions.
so the RN (mid 50's looks like a librarian grey hair in a tight bun etc..) asks if he is still taking all the meds on the list and he says, "i'd like you to add cannabis to the list" so she puts it in the system and doesnt bat an eye. asks him if he eats smokes vaporizes etc... and he says he is eating hash oil+MCT pills. the nurse asked if he could give her an approximate dosage and was surprisingly progressive for an RN at a catholic hospital.
of course an oncology practitioner in an MMJ state might be pretty jaded after a while.

so the doc reads the notes and does the consult and made no issue of the "ingests .5g hash oil 2 times daily" on the chart. just says how awesome the regression is and that every single one is shrunk and lets just watch and see and come back in 6 months..."

so ill let ya know in 6 months.

also, its worth noting that my dad really doesnt like the effect of the amberglass pills. they are purely (intensely) psychedelic with zero body effect. i can attest that they make you super energized and not at all relaxed. he much prefers to eat hash cookies or cookies made with "cannaflour" (just finely ground and toasted dried tops)
he eats the MCT pills because he thinks hash and hash oil are the best way to get the highest concentrations.

Thank You GanjaPharma for the good news!

I would just like to point out that there were people in our history that were ridiculed and even killed for proposing things like the earth is round and the earth revolves around the sun.

I have looked into the Simpson Method and find it to be credible to me. Even though it is hard, I find no reason to not believe him. There are other methods that seem promising as well. One woman is taking oil with only CBD in it and doing very well. Simpson is currently writing a book. We will see what he has to say.

Thank You GanjaPharma for the good news!

I agree, I was away for the weekend, and when I returned I was reading GanjaPharma's posts on the edge of my seat!

Nice update GP...truly amazing to hear a first-hand account. Could you perhaps give us a little more info on your father's specific situation? Extraction method, how long 'he was given' by the Dr., his diet, etc...

Thank you very much and please keep us posted!

Best of blessings brother...

Ion1

he doesnt eat a special diet, i would say he was a well rounded omnivore that ate few packaged foods. pretty much everything we eat up here is local(ish).

in my (single) experience the doctors dont tell ya you have X months to live. they cringed when the question came up at both oncologists we visited. its more about gauging the speed and areas of involvement. lymphoma is usually detected when you can feel lumps/ bumps or are experiencing symptoms so it is usually very late stage at diagnosis. since this is an "indolent" cancer we are hopeful that perhaps cannabis can slow it to a crawl.

i am fortunate to live in an MMJ state that allows an ample amount of meds and does not distinguish between extracts/hash and whole cannabis. therefore we make ALOT of bubble and oil.
the stuff we are using for my dads MCT pills is about as far from rick simpsons recipe as you can get.
he makes a very "whole" extract...hours days even in naphtha (which is not an actual substance but a class of substances)
i make 30 second iso wash shatter with dried cured nugs.
yeild is only around 4 grams from a zip of nugs. when we smoke the oil we leave it as glass but like to decarb it for use as edibles, I heat the 4 gram blob on a pyrex, in .....*ahem...the microwave (1 minute at a time) until it budders. thats all the decarb i do. then i scrape up the buddered oil and mix 2:1 with hot MCT. stir a few times and it blends very well. the temp of the oil/mct is right around 200F .

this is a pretty pricey way to go for anyone not growing their own meds. at retail prices i think my dad eats a few hundred bucks worth of shatter a day! dunno what we would do if we had to buy herb to make the oil from, hell you cant even find really amazing glass/wax/budder in any of the dispensaries up here. i think the best thing is to dry and cure your trim and do QWISO with that ....still great results if you are eating the stuff.
anyhoo, afterwards, i do a second wash for a few minutes and get the more viscous, darker second extraction. i make lozenges to help me sleep with the second wash.

please chime in on this:
are the great majority of thc and cbd found solely in the glandular heads of the trichomes? when i scope my buds after they have been washed for the first time, the base of the trichomes are present but all the heads are gone. if i found a cbd rich strain (i am looking at hemp that grows wild right now) would i get the most CBD through one of the various QUICK solvent methods?

there may be (probably are) medicinal elements of whole cannabis that are not present in the oil i make, but if most of the thc and cbd are in the trichomes then thats what i am after.

[budlover123]

I guess it makes perfect sense, all these assholes walk around like they are better than you and maintain that weed is bad and conventional medicine is unquestionable because deep down they understand their whole self-important industry they've amassed their wealth from would be reduced to at least half the size that it is today if people accepted the truth instead of their truth.

Could you imagine at least half the boner drug commercials being weed commercials instead?!

My friend has an idea for a weed commercial, dude sits up in bed and hits a bowl, the camera changes to a shot right in his face, and he says "It's just like brushing your teeth!"

Maybe that commercial is a little too "advanced" to use right away

Two questions

One, has anyone experienced a worsening of symptoms or an enlargement of the tumor in response to thc. We work with both thc and cbd, and in the cases of breast cancer i am starting to observe that thc may be enlarging malignant neoplasms /breast/.

Also, what does one do in the case of cannabis overdose, anyone have experiences. In this case 80mg of medijuana extract caused vomiting for twelve hours. How should a person proceed once they have consumed an edible but are not feeling well, suprisingly enough a google search did not yield many results.

Thanks ahead

cant help you re: the enlargement issue.
but as far as "overdose" i have a few opinions to share.

I have seen vomiting, and general bad feelings, associated with medibles. it appears there are two factors that are commonly relevant.
the refinement of the medible, and the tolerance (to edibles) of the patient.

cannabis is some serious roughage! cookies/brownies made with too much vegetable matter can cause the same bloating, gas, and stomach upset as any other abrasive plant material. combine this with an already delicate gastro-intestinal system and you will end up the same as my dog when he eats a ton of grass (or a bunch of pot leaves out of my garden).
this is the main reason i use hash or hash oil, blended with coconut oil as a foundation.

unlike smoked cannabis, which is easily titrated (take a puff, set it down, wait a few etc..) ingested cannabis can be a very intense and overwhelming experience for the unaccustomed patient. once the effects begin, you are "strapped in for the ride" so to speak....i have eaten medibles that started coming on 20 minutes after ingestion, and kept peaking higher and higher for HOURS.
the panic, and stress associated with "WILL IT EVER STOP?!" can cause severe physical reactions. panic attack stuff...not pleasant at all.

when i give medibles to someone new, i always give repeated stern warnings to " take 1/4 wait an hour, then eat another 1/4" even if they have been blazing for decades, I give em the speech.
nowadays i never get calls asking me if i put LSD in the cookies.

i should also mention, that alcohol and medibles are a GUARANTEED way to upset your system. eat a few cookies and drink two glasses of wine, and be prepared for the worst!

best way to deal with a patient having a bad experience?
hot shower and a nap.
dont know why, but 30 minutes under a hot shower will turn the most intense medible trip into an exhausted collapse into a comfy bed.

 

[Ioni Botani]

I would have to agree with the shower, it seems to soothe as well...takes the patient's mind off of the negative effects..

HERE is a link to an Erowid article on an ingested Hash 'overdose'....even though it is physically IMPOSSIBLE to actually overdose, negative psychological symptoms are known to occur, manifesting themselves physically into the person's 'trip' (THC is a hallucinogen, people often forget...)

I once had an uncle do the same thing, no vomiting however, he kept it down....BUT he probably should have puked It might have made him feel better.

He was tripping for two days, had to cancel golf that next morning!!! LOL. Literally, auditory and visual hallucinations; especially close eyed visuals, including open eyed...hearing voices, etc.

I suggest starting light as well, as a preventative to this situation...like GanjPharma said, edibles are like jumping from a plane, by the time you notice... it's too late! The patient only has to ingest small amounts THC a couple times to introduce it in the system and bring the tolerance level up. Then, slowly increase dosage until the patient notices the effects, and do not increase dosage until the patient can no longer feel the effects...(That is, unless the effects are desirable ) This is how doctors do it! lol.

Bless all.

[N. Accumbens]

I think I pretty much got the answers to the question behind the questions, but I would make sure to mention blood sugar levels prior to ingestion.

What most likely happened is that a new method was used for recleansing the extract to prevent any saccharides and lipids from staying in the the solution. This led to a quantitative mistake in dosing. The extract was purer but dosing was less, even still it led to the strength being greater.

Im mentioning about 40-60mg of twice cleaned ethanol extract from medijuana, in cacao oleum as a carrier.

Thanks for the kind words....

Take care,

Yeah, I have heard this too, in The Dam if you've 'had too much', they suggest to eat chocolate or sugar cubes. I could see that having some noticeable effect, especially in this situation

Just wondering if anyone in here could tell j.c. about hash oil or bubble curing or helping with testicular cancer. Have a friend that got really bad news about this about a month ago and now only has one nut. Really have been waiting to ask this because I did not think anyone would take j.c. seriously. But now friend has one nut and has to get chemo once a week and take chemo pills at home. Been trying to get him to eat bubble but he thinks j.c. is thinking like 1800's and it is a magical elixir/snake oils etc etc...bla bla bla. You know, like he actually got insulted and thought i was fucking with him so I thought I should ask you guys what you think about it...any thoughts?
