Cannabis oil heals COPD

G'Day from sunny Australia,

I was wondering if anyone who has used cannabis oil for COPD can give an indication on how long it takes to start feeling a difference? I know everyone is different, however should one be patient and wait for years or can it be felt within months?

Thanks!

I have COPD, quite serious; I'll maybe bore you but here's a brief history. My COPD & Arthritis combined forced me to retire in 2010. I had begun using Spiriva daily approx. 2007 - by 2010 my disease was so bad I was prescribed Advair on top of Spiriva and I was forced to spend the summers of '10 & '11 in my basement due to summer humidity in So. Ontario, Canada. I couldn't bathe or shower due to humidity - sponge baths only!

I stumbled onto PhoenixTears.ca - Rick Simpson. A partner had several pounds of bad trim so we made RSO - I began ingesting oil & vaping bud in Oct of 2011 - before Christmas I was able to use up ALL the hot water in my tank enjoying my showers. I totally quit both inhalers for good on July 1st, 2010.

It is my opinion that vapourizing bud @ low temps is v. beneficial, but one MUST ingest concentrate oil as well! Also, I'm positive that other people will have varied results, but DON"T GIVE UP! Also - you MUST vaporize, do not smoke your shit!

Thanks for your reply and all of the great information about your journey. You said 'I totally quit both inhalers for good on July 1st, 2010'? Did you mean 2012? Was it a year or two years after you start medicinal cannabis that you were able to get of the meds? How are you doing now? Still have improvement?

YES ! Bonus - thanx for picking up on that! It was 2012 I quit my inhalers and I've been med-free since, but a serious car crash in Jan '13 has limited my exercise & kept me hibernating for 2 winters, thus I cannot do much physically - I'm short of stamina after effort, but my breathing is still clear - I am improved, inasmuch as I usual don't vape until late afternoon to pick up a buzz, while my total evening's vape = 1/4 gram of bud and that seems to have enough clearing effect for 24 hours. My morning is 1 tbsp/15 grams coconut oil, 30 min later, toast with high CBD budder & another 30 min (or longer, for no reason) I ingest 40 mg RSO sublingually for a lovely operating high. Today is lovely out so I'm gonna vape a toke early & play in my garden.:volcano-smiley::volcano-smiley:
 
Thanks for the great feedback. I am sure many will get hope from your posts regarding cannabis oil and COPD. If I may, I have a few other questions...

When you had the COPD issues did you have lung function tests such as FEV1 etc and have you had them since using cannabis oil and seen a difference in the actual lung function stats?

Jeeze, Hempy, no. The only test I had measured my lung capacity & mine, I was told, was 30% of what a healthy guy of my age & size should be! I say that meant I had 70% lung deficiency! Sorry but I don't even know what an FEV1 is - could you esplain me what means this, Lucy? A second, after vaping for 6 mos, showed my improvement went from 30% to 50% capacity in less than 6 months and my respirologist suggested I was at near-normal levels and he was pissed that I claim to have benefited from cannabis; he also observed that a heart murmur I had diagnosed after high school ('62) had disappeared - lol!

Please, if you wish: what are your needs, hopes, problems - and what are you doing and why don't you use my e-mail if you want to keep it private! - - -> dave@cogeco.ca

I'm just an olde phuque from the hippie 60's but I know a lot - I'm a licensed grower, for myself, and I'm now growing some Charlotte's Web @ 15/1 cbd/thc!
 
FEV1 is a the measurement used by lung specialists to determine your lung function etc. It is when they make you blow into a tube for a long time until you can't anymore and they measure the reading. I am guessing you have probably done this at some stage and that is how they measured your lung capacity etc?
Your improvement is inspirational to say the least. Onward and upwards!
 
Thanks for the reply :)

I was told recently that the best compound in cannabis for COPD/asthma is thcV.

Does anyone have knowledge about this?

Actually,
Jeff Waters is NOT back to work full time. He had a job in a grocery store
bagging groceries, and he was fired because of his drug use. He also claims to
have "cured" his Alpha 1 by showing a document that states he does not have
Alpha 1, but when asked to show proof that he ever had it, he buckled and went
off the deep end.

He
is now out of a job, is supported by his wife, and relies on strangers to
"supply" him with cannabis oil. He's gone so far as starting a facebook group
called COPD Life Coach Jeff Waters, and is charging people for information that
is readily available for free on the internet.

If
you can manage your own life by getting a job and not having to depend on your
wife for financial support, how do you "coach" others?
 
I have COPD and just got my MMJ card. I'm a vaper but have never vaped this Herbs. :) So I'm not familiar with the Herb vaporizers. How many of them are there to choose from? Also, can you vape the Oils as well as the Herbs in the same vaporizer? Thanks in advance to anyone that can help. And thanks to all of you who've contributed here! You're giving me an education. :)
 
Hey, 4member - If you wish, my e.mail is --> dave@cogeco.ca - there is a site "Fuck Combustion" that is devoted to vaporizers, nothing else, but you can get help from me if U want!

No don't use oil inna vape, til you speak w/me! It CAN be done, but you must know how!

peace d
 
krusht2... a funny thing happened yesterday, well, not too funny really. I tried to call you and a young lady answered and said I had the wrong number. So I dialed the same number again, same number I used to call you the first time a couple of weeks ago...and she answered again. So I'm totally baffled. Has your number changed?
 
I am a 63 old stage 3/4 COPD suffer. I live in Australia and am interested in Cannabis oil as a treatment for my condition. I am able to extract pure oil from the plant (leaf/bud) but have ingested with chocolate and dairy products. What is the best from way to ingest and should it be cut.

Kiml - I expect you've rec'd my email - but for the record, one ought follow R Simpson's protocol for lung cancers; ingest as much as you can handle 3x daily + vaporize flower tops - (I quit all med. inhalers in 2012) - I have now introduced CBD to my daily intake and the additional improvements have been ASTOUNDING!
 
Hey there, RMH - 'at's azackly wut i mean! Buds! I care not - as much as you wish, more if you're in a hurry - but for me, I vape a lot while playing on-line poker at night, 'cause I'm still a toker from '64 and I like being high! Also, the benefits last me 'til 2-4 PM, so I have a clear day - 1st vape in afternoon! ... or not ...
 
Dear Sir - I'm happy you've reached out here! I have had such immense
results that I Know that your life, however uncomfortable it is for you now,
will become, at the very least, better than it is now! In as much as we're
all individuals, intensity of results vary; that is as negative as I'm able
to be! Firstly, yes, ingest - there are no 'best forms/ways' to ingest - but
if one extracts oil a la RSO (isopropyl alcohol-99% is good also), the most
convenient way for me was 0.5 grams daily, in 0.25 caps, twice daily - 'twas
intended for severe Arthritic pain & immobility! I began vaporizing A1 bud
as well, because I had become unable to smoke a joint and R Simpson insisted
one ought use both methods for lung cancer - my illogical thought was "Why
not!?" ... sure enough ... My recommendation for pushing ahead forcefully
is thus: As much oil as still allows you to function the way you wish, three
or four times daily - your oil can be diluted w/ coconut oil or any other
carrier oil you wish, stored in cool/cold storage - 1:1, 1:2, etc, or in
cookies, brownies, whatever, enjoy! Now, vaporize while watching LESS
programning, looking for MORE MedCanna news, go to face book, look me up,
email me - dave@cogeco.ca & plan to quit your inhalers & Meds sooner than
later! Also, if you are able, get some high-ratio CBD plant & ask me why!
for now I say Good Night! Don't forget to write, young fella!
