I do have one of my friends whose brain is going to research. They don't even understand how he's alive, because of the damage. He got blown up twice. He uses, on average, 10 to 15 grams a day. However, I use a completely different method. He smokes; I don't. It works for him; it doesn't work for me.
That's the big thing to also understand. I've tried 12 to 15 different strains over the last three years. Another big thing to understand is that I actually have complete control over my medication. I know exactly how much I take at any given time. When I make my oil, I calculate my dosage. I regulate myself and control my intake. Some days I might need a little bit more. Some days I might need a little bit less. Dr. Walsh mentioned that over time you need more and more. It's absolutely true.
The big thing to understand with the seven grams a day is that it's not so much based on facts. In my instance, I need that to make my own oils. In order to make a normal batch for myself, I use about 60 grams to 90 grams of flower. That's three ounces. I have a 210 gram prescription, so that puts it in perspective. Out of those 60 grams, or 60,000 milligrams, I do about two cups, which is 500 millilitres. It's a ratio of how many milligrams per millilitre I can reach. With the sativa—I use an Alaskan strain because it works for me—I'm averaging about 25 milligrams to 30 milligrams, which is three times higher than people use for recreation.
I'm medicated right now, since this morning.
