Personally, I would work with a 2:1 or 1:1 CBD:THC ratio. This should offset the psychoactive effects somewhat and provide a calmer and more holistic experience. Obviously, tiny doses and work up (goes without saying). Start at 2mg and work up to 5mg... then 15mg... etc etc...

An initial THC experience can be overwhelming for a newbie, especially someone older. Edibles would be the way... carefully dosed cookies or something healthier and non "druggie" in application. I also have older parents, so I get where you are coming from.

Many thanks greencigar, I was planning on splitting a 10mg gummy in 3 so the folks and I can 'go in together'. Perhaps I should start them off with a quarter? I need to remember their margin of tolerance will not be as wide as mine!

Low and slow, my man. I wish you all the very best. I would like to add that I have zero medical experience, and have been labelled 'crazy' by some people at points in my life. However, they weren't shrinks, so there's your margin of error. HAHA :)

If you do decide to go with RSO or Edibles or RSO infused edibles… make sure to let them try a LOW dosage and before bed time as apposed to when they are fully awake.

Not a doctor!!! But I think that it’s important at least till they build up a little tolerance, also I have said it before here and will mention again, Tumeric curcumin supplements seem to work well for body pain (my shoulder for instance) and for blood circulation.

Wonderful advice, thanks!

This is very interesting. I take a range of LB products for pleasure and pain but was talking to a good friend just a few days ago about his elderly father (83) who he would love to find pain relief for because pharma is failing him.
He’s never smoked and with old lungs I’m reluctant to suggest even vaping. Edibles can be a strong high for the uninitiated which could disorientate. RSO (Rick Simpson Oil) has many qualities and can just be stirred into a hot drink, but it’s a strong pure extract so go with very small quantities at first and build up. It’s a great choice.
I’ve just ordered some Lebanese Hash Oil Cannacaps from Hashishin (a VERY reputable LB vendor) with each capsule just 10mg and offering a super mellow experience. The degree to which these ease my pain I can only let you know when I review.
Just my opinion, but good luck! 🤞😘

Ah thanks so much for that, I think oil is the way to go. I'll check them out!

I also agree with the comments about CBD as a starting point because you won’t have to worry about them getting even mildly high and not being comfortable with the sensation. For me CBD doesn’t work as a pain reliever but experiences vary and you can slowly introduce THC if necessary as described here….

Yeah I suggested that to them as a good starting point to try after reading this thread, thanks again!

Sorry to hear of your folks suffering. I assume you would smoke yourself as your on lb-your own tolerance or tester would be a good start for strength levels/psychoactive effect.
One of the main vendors I use on here is hashishin who is wonderful to deal with and seems well educated on everything cannabis related and engages well with his customers.His hash strains are traditional/land race strains which I would describe as mild/moderate in strength- less THC than modern drysift hash methods but equally enjoyable.My only experience with pain is toothache (I remember his Lebanese hash helping with this at the time(shouldn't smoke with toothache)-numbed the pain;relaxed muscles but still clear headed.good for enhancing mood-with mental health it's important not too smoke something too strong on the psychoactive side or it could induce paranoia or anxiety.Something sativa would be uplifting during the day and something indica would help with sleep.His capsules at the moment look interesting-the Lebanese canna caps for example-it sounds like the mildest experience before edibles or oils etc(would be better start without smoking if possible)-a lot of great vendors even commenting below on dosage amounts.Good luck and hope it helps.

Many thanks for the advice Thadogglb!

I'd recommend using an RSO (rick simpson oil) as it's generally much more 'medicinal' than 'party time'.

As far as dose goes, start low and find the sweet spot. Possibly a grain of rice amount...

Thanks, I'll take a look!

Cannabis tea brewed perfectly, I couldn’t recommend this enough!

Thanks, any tips on the brewing process?

Simple marijuana tea can be made in any flavor you wish, by adding another tea bag during the last three minutes of simmering. This recipe makes two cups of tea; for one cup, simply halve all ingredients.
Ingredients
1 gram of dried cannabis flowers
1 teaspoon of butter
3 cups water
Sweetener of choice (brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, or stevia all work well)
Instructions
Grind the cannabis flowers. This can be done using a regular grinder, a mortar and pestle, or a knife. Be sure not to grind too finely. Final form should be the same consistency as when rolling a joint; avoid powdering the buds.
In a bowl, combine the weed with the butter, ensuring the plant matter receives an even coating.
Pack weed mixture into a steeping vessel. This can be a metal tea ball, or an emptied-out tea bag.
Place steeping vessel into simmering water. Ensure the water does not come to a boil. Simmer for around 30 minutes.
Remove from heat and pour into cups.
Stir chosen sweetener, and enjoy!

Indica type will help

Thanks Nam, yeah I was leaning towards an Indica, I think a Sativa would be a little too 'buzzy' for her...

Or cbd weed without feeling high only to treat for the pain relief

I would also suggest cbd possibly adding tiny amounts of thc in the process to help activate the cbd in terms of pain relief but for some cbd alone can be enough.

Thanks Rikform, after all of your advice I'm gonna do just that!

Thank you so much friends wow we can’t even begin to tell our story but know it’s a miracle we are here and we thank the gods everyday!!

Well biggas

It might rain outside but the Sun has returned 🌞

Long live Psychonauts

Awww Matey you’re bringing tears to our eyes :-) Thank you!!

Welcome back Friends!

Thanks God whatever difficulties you've encountered have now been solved.

I had some BTCs left so I've just ordered some Leisure Time to celebrate the arrival of Spring.

I will be back for more after payday.

May the Force be with you my friends

Welcome back friends. Great news! You guys are a shining light in a dark world! I was just down to my last drop as well! See you on payday. 🌞

Great news, glad youre back with us!

Hey hey!!🥳🥳…WELCOME BACK CATS!😘

Welcome back!

We missed you too.

Absolute legends of the LB community...so glad you're back

So glad you’re back guys! You’re medicine is life changing!!!

Let's solve this through the power of manifestation, I can already see the post with your return "We are back!" I need your medicine and advice for my current journey! Look into any book of Neville Goddard, all his audio books are on Spotify. He basically teaches we can create reality with our own thoughts. We've got this, peace and love to you all.

Psychedelics have greatly helped my mental health over the last year, after a break of decades, and you've been a big part of that. Thank you. I hope you find what you need, and when you do you come back to us.

You have spread so much love and positivity across this site and helped so many Biggas that it’s time for your karma to pay you back- and I really hope it does ❤️🙏🏽

Sending love <3

Hi Dear Friends

I am deeply sorry to hear that and I wish you the best for the future.

I am another one of those many people whom you've helped tremendously.

LB would not be the same without you.

I got stuck in a rut during COVID and since last year I have slowly going through an internal metamorphosis.

I am not fully there yet but thanks to you and your wonderful medicine I am on the right path.

Like others have said I will send some positive thoughts your way.

With all the positive vibes and Love sent from those of us you've helped we might be able to create an égrégore for you.

Sad news but hopefully not forever. You guys have genuinely been instrumental in improving my mental and consequently physical wellbeing.
Thank you.
Much love x

Love you guys hope whatever situation you’re in gets resolved.

Just recently started reading less tabloid-esque information about DMT. I wouldn't have done that it it wasn't for yourselves.

Even though I haven't bought from yourselves as yet, my interest in microdosing/psychedelics in general has increased since reading posts on your page. So you can't leave now...

****vibes sent***

Take care and be safe!❤️👊

Just seen this post. When was it posted? Recently? Gutted. Loved their Lucy. And such nice people too. A rarity these days. Always had your back and answered any questions promptly. So sorry to see them go. Hopefully you guys sort out what ever the universe has thrown your way and come back soon. We’ll be waiting. Peace and love ❤️

Sending positive vibes. Hope to see you back here soon. Thanks for all you’ve done for the Biggas. ✌️ & ❤️

Sending you love, you guys are great xxxx

You are a shining light in this community. So many of us are so grateful for your sacred medicine and the careful compassion that you radiate to every individual soul. Wishing you all the good vibes in existence and hoping you will make it back to our shore soon!

Hello!
Sending all the good vibes possible to you!!
I only was able to use your medicine twice but genuinely it has changed my life - I managed to start “unsticking” my brain and I am so grateful - wish I could have continued for a while longer on the journey. Thank you for everything - we all hope you return to us soon and that everything works out for you in general 🙂.

This is such sad news and I really hope things work out for you. You have been amazing and so have your products. Sending lots of love your way ❤️

I can only fall in line with what many of the other biggas said …
Your love and positivity is not only valued and welcomed, but has become a part of our lives.
You are right, life is not always the way we would like it to be. In the times it isn’t, I believe it’s teaching us something.
My thoughts are with you, I hope things look up for you again quickly. Remember, the biggest storms often bring the biggest clarity once they blow over. The air has never smelt better …

Hope things work out for you🤞🏻💜💚

Wishing you well 🙏

Wishing you all the best, I hope you stay safe and well. Thank you for your medicine, much love. 💚

Hopefully things work out..thanks for all "until" now !

Best wishes

Thank you so much for all the love and care friends! We are slowly making our way back and have some goodies back on the shelves :-) we missed ya’ll

Hello Psychonauts I’m sorry to hear about this spiral and I hope that things will get better for you really soon and that you can please come back to us at LB one day soon as Your medicine has changed me for the better in more ways than one. The experiences I have with your medicine are the times I look forward to the most in life and I have many treasured memories of my times with Lucy , 🙏 ❤️ 😊

During a trip toward the end of last year. I realised that vaping weed was the way forward rather than smoking it. I’ve only been vaping ever since then and this change inspired by Lucy has saved my health and my wallet. 🙏 ❤️ 🤩

Lucy also allows us to reflect on our past to improve our future selves and Psychonauts medicine has saved my life and set me up for a better future which I’ll always appreciate. I feel like the happiest man in the world when I’m using your medicine it is incredible and they are the times I look forward to most in my life 🙏 ❤️ 🤩

Your medicine allowed me to reinvent myself as a better version of my former self and I’ve gone from strength to strength since then. It is also awesome for unwinding and hitting the reset button on life the afterglow effect is amazing. 🙏 ❤️ 🤩

I’m sending my positivity to you and lots of love as well as good vibes/ prayers from The Big Poppa. The kind messages I receive from Psychonauts and their encouragement allowed me to believe in myself and I’ll always appreciate you and the Little Biggy community. ❤️ 🤩 🙏

I hope that things get better for you very soon and I hope to be able to purchase your medicine again soon as it has saved my life and my health for which I’ll always be grateful. 🙏 ❤️ 🤩

Beautiful. Keep on keeping on BigPoppa ✌️
