Cannabis

There are specialized cannabinoid receptors in the brain, I learned about them when I was looking into ways to support my body through two painful miscarriages. I've always been straight edge, I find drugs to be dys-euphoric, but this was interesting -- plus I've got a rebellious spirit (can you tell).

After consulting with knowledgeable friends I learned over the past 8 months that high CBD levels are good for the brain and that using a vaporizing device is the best delivery method.

But, for the cancer-fighting properties you also need to have THC in there, and cannabidoil works best when small quantities are taken frequently.

There is this caveat, that cannabis can cause parasthesia which can be really freaky for the brain mets patient. If you are feeling numbness in your extremities then you need to adjust your dosage down. It should go away once you lower your dosage. You might already have parasthesia from chemo in which case this won't bug you at all.

My friend gave me this and said it didn't do anything for her. I took a dropperful like it said on NYE -- I started hallucinating that afternoon. I don't know about my friend but this stuff is potent and it does contain both CBD and THC
