THE TRAINWRECK. Brought to you by thcfarrmer…..

This is the strongest pill form I have found that anyone can pick up in a store. I think mine are either 3,000 or 5,000 mg. Just gave my brother a few when he was complaining of a toothache. A few hours later he was no longer in pain. Made him take a handful with him, but not sure if he continued to take them. He hasn't complained anymore though.

Usnea is the only other plant medicine that I have that is a powerhouse for antiviral and antibacterial, but it doesn't grow everywhere it take a lot more steps to make than just tincturing it.

I make a tincture of oregano, sage and rosemary with 40 proof vodka. The pain is ugly but unlike low back pain this too shall pass.

Very sorry to hear/read this.

I think it's bumming you out more than it is me to be honest.

I might be failing miserably, but I'm attempting to give an example of my growing attitude here more then anything lmao.


The losses come with the territory. Half of growing cannabis outdoors is loss mitigation and damage control while your gaining your sea legs. Especially once you get into flower season lol. If your growing went perfectly you wouldn't learn shit


I can probably take losing half of my crop and still be smiling about my end result tbh. And even on the terrible seasons ya just gotta keep a c'est la vie attitude about it lol

That tree in the background almost totally devoid of leaves. Guess what?! Septoria!

My apricot 4-6 shade tree? It's going bye bye. Guess why? Chicken thigh!!!!!!


Nah, I'm just playing, it also has really bad septoria. So do all the saplings I just planted this spring. Also my Biggs pheno and my OJ x BB #2 and #3 all have septoria too



@Organic13 as you become more cynical and jaded (lol) season after season, it'll get a lot easier to take the losses lmao. It's all part of the game

love that you are into this stuff. Once you start learning about it, try it, and it works, there is no going back.

Here's some things that may help your pain out. Some of it can be found all around you. Just be mindful of where you harvest from. I never take plant medicine that is near the roads or busy areas. I also never take from the first patch I come up to, in case there isn't any more. A native friend taught me that years ago and I know you'll appreciate it.

Fresh chicory root and wild lettuce are great analgesics. Wild lettuce especially. I've seen some make a resin with the tincture after it has done its thing, but I've never done it myself. Looks like tar.

Wild teasel root tincture will help with arthritis pain. It's also a liver tonic.

Wild yam root tincture helps with pain as well. Helps with chronic and other digestive issues too.

Cottonwood bud and bark oil is a great pain reliver, as well as a great antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antifungal. I do recommend adding comfrey to any oil being made for injuries or pains. Absolutely powerhouse. I also recommend castor oil being used to help penetrate the deepest and get the plant medicine where it needs to go.

I'm sure there are others. Oh, I have the Indian pipe tincture that is supposed to be one of nature's strongest pain meds. I have had to use it though. I've seen it sold online. Not sure it grows where you are. Can't remember.

If you don't have comfrey in your garden, I highly recommend it. I could send you a root or two. And if I do that, I will send you some Indian pipe tincture aka ghost pipe.

Oh no, I'm not rocking back n forth covering my ears or anything. Just hate to hear about the disease spreading all across your land. That's all.

Needed the other part of that message though. Thanks.

So far I'm only using what I grow

Oh I didn't think you were lol. Just doing my best to share a little bit of that "is what it is". Ya picked up what I put down lmao

My first couple seasons growing outside. Man, I'm glad that's over

[Thatoneguyyouknow_]

I've decided to wait on a friend of mine to help cut the apricot tree. I'm not confident I can make it go the way I want without a rope. It's u p against some other tree limbs the way I need it to fall. Also there is zero flat ground around it.

This is gonna be a sketchy one. I'll do my best to try and film it fall lol

I got about a 12ft gap to shoot with it or another trees limbs are gonna bounce it right into my patch


There's a small masochistic, anarchist part of myself that wants to catch my reaction to crushing my patch with a tree on film. Ten years from now, it would be one of the funniest videos I've ever taken.

Agreed! Shit happens! Not everything works out, sometimes our ancestors had a good fall harvest, sometimes half the tribe died before spring of starvation, nature is cruel… but rewarding for those with patience

That is a true-to-life statement... the second my outdoor plants go into flower, it's no longer a battle against miners and thrips because here come the regiments of mealworms. This is exactly how I feel prepping for battle:

I had quite the battle with the little bastards. They are looking for other insects to eat but they crawl inside the buds and I lost a few branches last year. They got to the inside of the flower and apparently couldn't get back out because they died and so did my hard work and dreams.

Was just reading today about spotted lantern flies from Asia have made it to the southern coast, the eat cannabis. Will lay eggs on any surface. Again, another reason you would be crazy to try here.

I really hate pests.

Yup. Calling the dentist tomorrow. Procrastinating isn't working thankfully my stepdaughter found some antibiotics to get me by until I get this fucker pulled. I figured out it's a wisdom tooth pushing an existing molar out. Had this happen like 15 years ago. Gunna get it pulled before it goes full retard. That is a pain you do not ever want to experience. Last time it happened I had no insurance so all I could do was wait for the tooth to fall out. Nope not doing that shit again

My wisdom teeth were unfortunately right on top of my nerves in my jaw. It took me 4 days of pain to get in for an appointment, only for him to tell me "I am sorry, but if I pull your wisdom teeth out and it pinches or damages your nerves, your face could go numb for 3-6 maybe even 12 months, worst case permanently. You will have to see a dental surgeon." then I had to wait another 3 weeks I am not kidding. So I said fuck it and I went to my doctor and got some serious pain meds to deal with it until I got it pulled.

Man if I were rich af like Bill Gates and really wanted to be a philanthropist, I would set up free 24 hour emergency dental clinics in every major city in every state. The dental care is pitifuckinful in the US, unless you're loaded

 

[Thatoneguyyouknow_]

Went poorly. Wood was very dense kept trying to angle the cut upward no matter where we tried because I'm a lazy bastard that didn't sharpen the chain first. We just pulled it over from the rope after wedging it with a hatchet and a sledge.

I wanted to leave it. Was an apricot tree. And was my 4-6pm patch shade tree. But has septoria and was dropping PM infested transpiration droplets into my Biggs. Shes a beef cake though, septoria and PM both now, but she's a trooper. Bit of citric acid she'll prob be fine.

So lookin like the patch gets about 8hrs direct now. Wonder how they'll feel about this. They're either gonna love it, or get all confused. It was more mid day shade tho, so don't think they'll mind too much.
