I am an experienced grower and need to make my first real medical concentrate for myself. I have high quality bud I grew, flushed, dried and cured, its ready to go in, supply is not a problem. My husband has a distillation system and we have a large supply of everclear 190. I don’t want to overshare medical shit no one wants to hear but I am dying of gastroparesis, I’m starving to death literally I’m trying desperately not to fall back under 90lbs at 5’8. I have Dysautonomia and POTS, neurological central nervous system disorders. I’ve exhausted my medical options and have had terrible reactions to every single medication they have given me. I need an easier extraction method that does NOT use any chemicals and I need a clean product void of chlorophyll and other plant material that could possible cause even the slightest GI upset. At first hubby was looking at some vacuum type closed systems that would recapture the alcohol but pretty much every brand is about $600 and get awful reviews as in doesn’t work, so loud, doesn’t extract cleanly, takes days to do whatever extraction it does, it leaks on and on. And I don’t understand how that would remove anymore of the plant material? I’m in doubled over pain 24/7 and can’t eat or sleep and won’t see Fall if something doesn’t change. I’m entirely too sick to sit and read through the hundreds of pages on extracts here. I’m so sick I have the cognitive function of a mushroom and not the fun kind lol. Hubby’s dad just had a stroke, workes full time, I can’t even leave the house to shop or cook So he is running on fumes stressing over his dad and trying to keep me alive. He is a very smart cookie, has a SHOP full of “man crap lol” and can rig up about anything given the right directions. If this extraction helps and I am able to eat again, it will need to be an on going thing. We are not opposed to investing some money if there is some sort of quality product to help us in our extraction. Are their any products out there for the home user that are worth the money?
Ok so another question I have. I used to have tolerance like a MF however since this hit, my tolerance is hit or miss. I have actually gone months at a time over the last 14 months not smoking at all because it make my Dysautonomia symptoms worse and makes me feel more sick BOO. I grew out a strain from Attitude called deep candy it claims its something like 13%CBD and very little thc. When I smoke it, I feel a bit off but not high but it does help stimulate my appetite and does make me a little sleepy, nothing earth shattering but helps. Since I’m questioning my tolerance with the extraction, does it work to add different strains to it? Like I don’t know how many oz’s we are talking about using, probably would want to make a bit of a smaller batch first before going all in. But say if we use a quarter pound in the extraction, does it translate to better medicine and maybe a gentler high if I use 1-1.5oz of the high CBD strain and the rest full on top shelf indica, does mixing the strains like that make a blend or just a dirty buzz?
One last question, yes I’ve seen the rick simpson video, again I don’t want chemicals and don’t want all that black plant material as I can quarentee you it will mess up my belly more. So how do we do this extraction at home and not end up with nothing but black plant matter in a syringe? I make infused cooking oil for mediables for my patients, its very strong. Made the usual decarb, crockpot, and run it through a juicer to remove all the plant material. My patients tell me they can’t buy mediables as strong as mine in the dispensary. I can’t eat them. How will the concentrate be different from my cooking oil?
When our legal law passed here in 09, we formed a compassion club with a few others and for 7 years travelled to libraries and senior centers and VFW halls to teach about medical marijuana. I am pretty well educated except when it comes to these extractions. I’m not looking to be fubar stoned 24/7 although I understand that might happen and is better than death lol. I’m not looking for dabs or concentrates. I’m looking for a full spectrum cannabis oil that isn’t black with crap and won’t make me sicker. I’m so super nauseous its hard to get things down so I will probably put a small bit into a capsule to get it down unless someone has a better idea.
Is there someone out there who has time and is willing to help us out here, we are really desperate. Thank you
