Now that is a sentiment I can understand, ciscoin! Definitely check into what strains are best for your fathers illness - if he needs pain relief, the high in THC sativahs will do better, and if he needs the anitpsychotic effects, then the high in CBD indicas will serve better, and if he's just looking for anticarcinogenic effects, most strains seem to do equally well but having the highest purity extract is important. With the exclusion of cancer, how well he gets relief will be determined more by the strain than by the method of extraction or administration, with cancer, the best results amongst the published research were had with pure isolated cannabinoids, but a high purity extract (like butane, Co2, dry ice bubble) seem to work as well in the real world. I can assure you they are very easy to make, easier even than RSO/ISO as it requires less equipment and time, and can also be made from trash leaves and trim, and most importantly, have more of the stuff that is proven to kill gliomas and carcinomas, with none of the non-active oils, tannins, and chlorophyll ISO/naptha pulls out (not that they are that bad p/o, just seems like if you're gonna make the effort, might as well do the easier purer extractions and get better meds.
Kite, I'm glad you mentioned my "self fluffing" - I mentioned it to illustrate the difference as you blasted me for not contributing to the medical movement - I, like rick, discovered something that had been done before (in my case it was by a single company trying to maintain a monopoly over sick people and in his case it was a method of extraction discarded decades ago in favor of better things) but unlike Rick, I didnt pretend that my vape plans were somehow magic, were different or special, nor did I make up and misuse sciencey jargon to make it sound like nothing but my product had health benefits, nor did I claim that this exclusive magic info could cure every and all diseases, and I definitely didnt sell my reverse engineered vapes for a massive profit to shady dispensaries. Because I know that that doesnt deserve a 1000 entry blog sucking my own dick, ranting paranoidedly about how my info is being supressed by the people I copied it from to begin with. I simply posted my meager contributions to the science of vaping weed in a clear and scientific manner, and it spread, because real science and progress doesnt need a snake oil salesman shouting constantly to all who will listen.
So goodby, Kite, since you insist upon getting personally mad at people for simply pointing out the fallacies of one of the many shucksters in the biz, I have no desire to hear from you. *block* Fare thee well.
