i made the first large batch of the cannabis paste. but i did 16 half pints, about a one years treatment taking about 3gms a day.
it was made with 16 oz of dried bud, chopped thru grinder to like a powder. then put 1. 5 ounce in each half pint. added in 2oz of coconit oil and one of vegetable glycerine. put lids on. tight and then dropped them in hot water vat, weighted down and water bathed it all for 10 and a half hours as directed. i kep the temp around 180 as close as possible.
took the little jars out and let them cool. only 2 actually dealed.
now in food canning, that is not a good thing.
usually i would remove the unsealed lids, and wipe the rims clean and then put on new lids and water bath again.
however--that is with high acid food--with this i am not so sure so i will store them in the fridge to be safe. i do not know why the directions do not state to pressure can these jars. it is low acid. i just cheked the PH in one jar = 7
so that is right in the middle.
i wondered about the 10/5 hr @ 180degrees came to be determined but the main web site is down. there is a company n canada selling and sharing info about the paste maybe i can ask them,
to ell to the publie id think youd HAVE to have the product be pressure canned whhc is around 240 degrees. still not too high but how long is needed to decoxilate----*sheeeesh*
it is easier to take the paste, it is easier to make it than the oil and you ge t the whole plant material. i saw the tests done that says you get ALL the carbininoids and thc and are not throwing anything away.
i finally got a postage scale that did grams and was able to measure the daily dose i had been taking. i had been following the advice of taking a dose the size of a pea and then i went from once a dya to 2x then 3x a day. found out i have been taking about 4gm a day. not a bad dose and tho i feel tired i dont feel a buzz. just damn tired and want to lay down znd take a nap.
i will stay on this dose til i feel nothing and then increase again. i sw one site that said 1gm - 2tsp and i measured and that did not come out right.
1/4tsp = 2gm of my stuff-
advice says to take up to 2.4gm. i rounded up to 3gm as it was wasier. but in all i read that is total for 1x a day dose.
gotta try to dig up some more info. there is not a ton out there and the oi devotees seem to feel a bit threatened by the paste peol.e lol--i cant belive i just said that, sounds like a line out of a bad B movie, ha.
anyway---the paste just makes so much more sense. i did see a ab report from one site that really all it said i could tell was that you get more material , more CBDs in paste, so why make the il if the paste is just as good and easier?
oh well. we each have our own preferences. if i feel like the paste is not working i have the option of going to the oil.
i have some research to see if anyone has presure caned the paste for X amount of time to decarb it and make sure it is safly sealed for long term storage.

Cannabis Paste
i have been researching the different forms of cannabis used in cancer treatment, and found it is as varied as the people. the majority take the oil, called Rick Simpson Oil - RSO-, hemp oil, cannabis oil, etc, etc-----
Rick Simpson pioneered the concentrated oil for medical treatments. i certai ly am not going to disparage the oil or anything about it., it has a proven track record.
i lean towards the paste form as routed by the company in CO called NewCure and now also in NZ and Canada. there are some amazing testimonials and some really good research docs. there is a place for both the oil and the paste.
i favor the paste because 1) it is easier to make 2) it is safer to make 3) even a half blind person like me can make it with a bit of help and 4) you get the whole plant, nothing is wasted or tossed out. 5) for 1lb plant you get over one years worth of treatment as opposed to getting 4-6 oz from one lb which is a 3 month treatment.
i also find it easy because i am used to canning and water bath and all that, so it is not strange for me to make the paste , a years worth in one swoop. piece of cake.
you will need
one lb dry bud
coconut oil
32 half pint or pint jars, lids and rings
very large pot with lid
tongs, towels, hot pads, etc
take one lb dried herb buds
grind into powder
put one half oz in small canning jar like a half pint
add 2 oz of coconut oil or veg glycerine or olive oil
stir real good to mix up
wipe rim of jar clean, put lid on snug
put in hot water bath
use a very large soup pot with a lid
get water temp up to 180-185
putting all the jars in will lower temp
make sure when all jars in the water level is at least 5 inches OVER top of jars
water must be around 180 degrees F
keep range from 175-185, no higher or lower
keep water level at least 5 inches ABOVE jars
cover pot with lid
monitor temp
keep in pot for 10.5 HOURS
check water level frequently and top off if needed
this is an all day monitoring thing so so start this in the early am
AFTER the 10.5 turn off heat and carefully take out hot jrs,
place on towel on counter
let cool and tops will ping and seal
some folks take jars every so often from the hot water and give them a real good shake to help mix things up
my first batch i tried one jar and used veg glyverine as the add in. when i later opened the jar to test it it seemed very dry to me so i mixed in another ounce of the glycerine to improve texture.
ive seen someone who used this recipe but used 2oz of coconut oil PLUS 2 more ounce of veg glycerine. this would certanly improve the end texture but youd need to remember if you added and increased the amount in eash jar you have to factor that to get your right dose because it would be more than the 2.4 gms dose whohc was based on only 2 oz fat, not 4--see? just keep that in mind.
store in a place away from heat and light, a cupboard or even under a bed
dose starts with the size of a pea twice a day
you work up to taking 2.4 gms split throughout the day
do this for at least 6 months at high dosage
i have started the paste dose and am up to about half the 2.5, im going by feel on this i had to order a scale so i can measure precise. it arrives Thursday, lol.
i take a small pea size in am after food a small one mid day and a larger one at bed.
the mid day dose made me feel draggy and tired, real turnip like. so i stopped the dose for a couple days and just do am/ pm right now. will do this 4 days and add in the mid day dose again.
when the scale comes i want to measure the 2.4 gm because i need to get familiar with the amount so i know what i need to work up to.
ill have the next batch in a couple days and let you know.
i have breast cancer and im gonna kick its ass

Breast Cancer
so i got breast cancer and i am gonna kick its ass. i already went thru the shock, fear, pain, poor me crap and am into im pissed off.
i still have to learn how big it is, where it is, etc, all the important details but i know how i am going to kill it.
cannabis oil and/or paste
im going to tell you how to make your own oil and paste safely and easily. there is lots of info out there, and if you are lucky enough to live in a state where it is legal, you can make your own medicine.
living in Colorado, i feel very lucky to be able to grow and buy and make my own medicine. i am not a pot smoker, never have been i dont use it to get high or messed up. ive earned how to make tinctures for fibromyalgia pain that has helped a great deal, and now the paste and oil.
there are so many different ypes of plants, heck, i really have no idea on all the details. i am growing 2 indicas called Cammomile and 4 annonymous sativas. sativa is used for energy and perking you up, indica is relaxing and helps with sleep.
in still a newbie here and am looking for a really good high CBD strain i can keep growing with cuttings so i can keep making the paste, tincture or oil.
make your own medicine. i will be showing you how.

new post. heck, i didnt even know this blog still existed, i thought i can shut it down, i guess that goes to show what i know.
i wanted to start a blog because i found out i have breast cancer. i thought it would help to write things out, ya know?
alot has happened since i last wrote, what, ayear or more ago? live got busy, my eyes got worse and i am truggling. now i have breast cancer. crap.
so i am dealing with a bunch of stuff. have filed for disability back in march and spent alot of time sending in all sorts of records and files. .then having tests done as i had been dealing with a long term sinus thing over christmas holidays and then dizzy spells. still got the dizzy spells. so i was having a bunch of tests done and on a whim i had a mammogram as it ha been about 30 years since the last one.
and it showed a mass on my right breaast. so i went back in for a diagnostic mammorgam and a sonogram and a biopsy. it came back positve.
ductal carcinoma, focal invasive carcinoma.
sucks.
im waiting now for appointment with breast surgeon to discuss all my options, lumpectomy, radiation and chemo.
aint doing it.
i will go and talk and listen and ask questions, what stage am i, how big is it, how much and where has it spread, etc, etc.
but i tell you right now--i aint taken chem or radiation, no way.
ie been doing some studies and decided on the cannabis oil , essiac, alkaline water, nutrients and change my diet. other people have beat breast cacner by doing this, i will too.
