Oh man,I'm so sorry for you and your dad.i know first hand how bad it can be caring for my mom a couple of years back.I hope you find a good source of thc,cbd to really make a difference.if only I'd have known about rick Simpson oil,and had my grow set up back when my mother was wasting away from cancer.im sure id have spiked her morning tea if she wasent up for it.stay strong brother.you and your dad and we'll keep you in our prayers...Hello, my Dad has psp. It's a terminal degenerative brain disease with no cure. It will rob him of the ability to swallow, talk, see, and walk. The disease presents itself in different ways in different ppl but the outcome is always the same. He was diagnosed around 4 months ago after several years of him knowing something was wrong. He's still on his feet but is very wobbly and tends to bounce off the walls as he walks. The main worry just now is the choking.
For as long as I've been smoking dope he's been against it. But he has been open to trying what I've given him so far. I bought some cbd oil legally online. First I got cibdol but it's like 4% cbd. So then we got cbdbrothers oil which is 20%. He complains that it does nothing for him but we know better. I bought an extreme q vapouriser and he hit 3 full bags. It lifted his mood but made him dizzy and a lil anxious so that was a no. I then made some canna vape fluid for my kanger subox mini (nano). I tried to get him to use it but he doesn't like it. I finally got to the point where I had enough to make rs style oil, he tried this for the 2 nights leading up to New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve he had a fall and hit his head, I shit myself thinking it may have been something to do with the oil. But he says he remembers choking and not being able to breathe so we're off the hook. Anyway they kept him in overnight and took an X-ray and a brain scan. They found a small bleed front left of the brain but they sent us home and said its nothing to worry about lolz. Anyway when he got home he asked for some oil and I've been spiking his soup with the cbd oil too. He seems to like my rs oil a lot and I'm very happy about it. A silver lining in the recent drama.
The disease works in a similar way to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's but presents differently. He gets stiff and sore during the day and he's always been a shit sleeper. Next step is some cbd strains to give him oil during the day without the dizzy effect. Like day nurse and night nurse cough syrup. :)
Anyway I thought I'd share, I'm relatively new to this carer malarkey and want to offer my support and hopefully get some support from some like minded folks.

All the best to you and your father..
I'm a 24/7 caregiver for my wife.. Sometimes the lemons take more sugar than we have..
One Love
I wish all the best for your father.
We are experiencing a very similar situation in our family. For us it's an undiagnosed degerative brain disease that has stolen a loved ones motor function. She does not like medical Marijuana products , makes her loopy she says, and the doctors have given up. I can feel your pain.
All the best.
Peace
rs oil will always be the best option for pure medicine - I've seen it do more for the sick than any other form of medicine. I hope it helps your father along his way, I can't imagine what you guys are going through.
And just so you know ~ typically CBD needs to be ingested with THC to be most effective, try giving a smaller ratio for his daytime meds - 1:4 thc:cbd during day, 1:2 or 1:1 at night. Everyone has different sensitivity and everyone has different tolerance thresholds, luckily nothing bad will happen experimenting with it :)
Another option if you have access to raw flower is to juice, I usually juice buds right before the hairs start turning orange. Tastes very very intense, I freeze the juice in tiny ice cube trays and use 1 or 2 in a fruit smoothie. It feels amazing, it doesn't get you high, but eating that high of a concentration of raw cannabinoids and terpenes does something magical to your body. The endocannabinoid system is such a mystery!
Thanks for the kind words mate :)
I just popped some cbd strains and am looking forward to providing him with meds during the day. He seems to be addicted to sleeping pills though. I've said to up his nighttime dose of rs oil, or have the normal dose an hour before bed then a 2nd same sized dose before getting in bed. He's been taking sleeping pills for years.
How do you juice the buds? What juicer do you use?
I have a juicer but I'd be afraid it would waste most of the goodness. I could blend buds into the juice though. Do you use the waste to make oil of something?
