Something tells me it probably tastes terrible.

Which may not be a problem, pumpkin pie (and pumpkin spice and all the pumpkin flavored bs) is basically cinnamon anyway

Speaking of Punkins...I just found out that Punkin Chunkin is back after a two-year absence following a mishap in 2016 that left someone seriously injured; this year's will be at Chanute AFB in Illinois.

If I knew exactly how to get quality stuff I would not hesitate. I
would write my own law. If it did not work no more pot would ever get
in our house. Neither of us has ever touched the stuff before.

I am aware of that, thank you.

A 100+ mile one-way drive at my age might be a little difficult, but I
would challenge myself to do it if I have any idea that it might be
effective. I have no use for the rec stuff, just the medical version
which I beliieve is 17% THC.

Of course I would be driving most of the miles in a state where it is
currently illegal. If caught I want to be the only one. I can fight
the stupidity of not allowing prescribed medical pot in court and the
media.

The illegality would bother me even if it helped my wife.

I understand some doctors can issue some sort of medical card allowing
the purchase, transport and use. I took her to her doctor yesterday -
he said again that weed would be better for her than opioids but he
can't issue that type of card.

Hugh, recreational means that you don’t need a special medical card. I imagine the Illinois dispensaries will offer a variety of thc content. I’ve only been to one legal dispensary. About a year ago in Vegas. I don’t remember the exact percentages but there were a variety of doses. The counter person took special care to ask us about our using habits in order to find the right dosage for us. It was a very respectable operation, and there was one senior citizen in there who I assumed was a regular since the employees knew his name. Edibles might be the best choice for your wife. They don’t hit you with an instant intoxication like the smokable varieties. It’s more of what they call a body high... at least for me.

I'm still learning about the issue and I appreciate your help. If she
had the medical card I could do everything legally. 30 years ago I
would have aquired some. If caught I would have enjoyed the fight in
court and media. But I just don't have the energy now.

I agree about the edibles. I have heard that places in CO have it
separated based on the pain it might help. One son has a second home
in CO but there is the risk of sniffing dogs. And I don't want anyone
in the family to do something illegal - except me if necessary.

As I understand the 17% does not give a high so I would not have a
need for the stronger stuff. I have never touched it. A sheriff in
Pickens Co. AL had a plant in his office and I saw that several times
since he lived across the street from our house in AL. And I can smell
it at football games. I was offered a smoke one time but I refused. I
get high on life.

I want to know more about the issue rather than have to trust others.
I'll listen but any decision will be mine (and hers) once I have more
confidence.

I’m serious, Hugh—because you’re you, I’d cheerfully do an Omaha-Denver-Bama-Omaha road trip just to bring your wife some weight. Out of curiosity, to be honest. I love road tripping for its own sake, I’d just tell any cop who asked that I was storm chasing.

Mebbe some freedom-loving rsfckers could do a relay, like moving homeless dogs or kids needing operations.

Thank you very much.

I believe I still have a lot to learn about pot before I commit to
anything. We have avoided the stuff like the plague our entire lives.
I need to get over that brainwashing.

If 17% THC helps the pain why wouldn't max THC help even more?

What are the potential side effects for an 89 1/2 year old woman who
doesn't smoke or drink alcoholic beverages?

I'd look into pure cbd products, Hugh.

There are two active compounds of interest in pot - thc is the stuff that makes people high, cbd is the stuff that seems to have most of the health benefits.

Nowadays you can get concentrates that have just one or the other, or both. I could buy cbd products in texas and wisconsin even though they have fairly draconian marijuana laws, generally speaking.

If you're still in texas you should be able to get cbd fairly easily / cheaply without violating any state laws.

Excellent article - improved my knowledge.

Larger doses don't help - gel is not ingested - negative side effects
- helps arthritis which is getting worse for her.

I have a little arthritis controlled with Tylenol.

People here are being very helpful and I appreciate it.
