and everyone for sharing their stories here. I finally got a call from a caregiver. She has a pharmacy background and is making pills with symptom specific oils, and is able to tweak them according to what symptoms need treatment. I got pills, tincture and baked goods and it was expensive--month supply=200 (does that sound reasonable? I have no idea).

This is where I am at right now, and hope to learn more so I can learn how to make better medicine. I have made tinctures and oils but apparently you need a high temp for some cannabinoids. Also I have been reading that much of the medicine is in the leaves and stems--this is what this caregiver's lab results showed. I may decide to juice the leaves in order to get another form of the plant.

It has been an interesting journey so far. Now that I have this well made medicine my stress level is much relieved, along with pain too
