Extraction Canna Olive Oil - Ditch the Pain Pills!!

[realcarlos]

Thanks again,
Do you think it would be wise to cover the pyrex bowl with a larger bowel and still have the crock pot lid closed?

I just don't want to risk the dripping of the water/condensation

 

[Musturd]

Hmmm thats why I thought loosely cover the pyrex. No just be careful removing the lid. Since your using a water bath most likely any will just spill into water.

So the verdict is in on our first batch of oil.....
:beast:
The missus added 1/2 a tsp to her asian salad at about 11:30. At noon, she was out in the wind and cold, turning her compost pile, feeding warm oatmeal to the chickens (and talking to the chickens, I might add .
As Rebel predicted, she had a very active, heady high (she pretty much has next years garden planned out now), and said that even though it is very active, it's also a really mellow feeling, no anxiety at all. Repeat, NO ANXIETY AT ALL! No stress. No worry. That is huge. :High 5: :grat:
I think the 1/2 tsp kinda had her trippin' balls :roflcry: Watching football, I missed a flag play.
"Honey, was that an unnecessary roughness call?"
"No, it was a penalty."
"For what?"
"Unnecessary roughness. I might take a nap...".

I had a bite of the salad, and it gave me a very mild head high, but at least doubled the mobility in my hands and wrists, and just took away the pain in my hip.
This is the real deal. We have friends with serious pain who will benefit greatly from this.
Words can't express my gratitude.

I wish I could shake your hand right now, my friend. I'd go so far as a redneck :hug:
The missus is asleep on the couch right now with a big, goofy, and entirely beautiful grin on her face. That's what we used to call a miracle.

Real deal alert!!!!! Love it.:High 5:

So now some more questions. For stems, do I dry and cure them for storage until I'm ready to use them, and does this include the main stem of the plant?
And roots, how do I best prep them for storage?
Same question for the fan leaves.

 

[Rebel]

I keep my stems in paper bags tucked in the cupboard. trim I lay it out in a pan til it dry then I store it in big Mason jars til use. but I make sure they are dry before putting in jars to prevent mold.

I'm sure mustard will chime in.... there's more than one way. long term storage for me is deep freezer in brown paper bags inside freezer bags or food savered.

Ren Red I'm so incredibly happy for you BOTH. as we all love our women. and I know nothing makes me happier than seeing my wife happy and in as less pain as possible. here's a bear hug for ya both!!

that made my night!!

also tallies another one up for THC for me! even with a sati dom she still had pain relief as well as psychoactive. bad ass! synergy baby!

 

[Musturd]

I cut stems to about 4" and freeze dry till use.
The roots once clean you can dry them or freeze them.

Fan leaves are good juiced green but on autos I am usually removing dead at the end. On a very frosty plant I will keep leaf stems, but in general if theres no trichs it goes in the compost.

couldn't have said it better Mustard! :thumbup:
