As some of you have seen, I've been posting updates on the medical marijuana treatment for my grandfather. I just thought id post a little blurb for people who know senior's who may benefit for medical marijuana. I administered two separate strains to my grandfather so far. I am typing this out to give to my grandfather's doctor. I will update this "journal" as I administer medical MJ to my grandfather. Feel free to show this to people who may benefit from this plant's multiple uses.

Recuperating from colon cancer surgery. Has pains in lower body, has no appetite, no thirst, and is suffering from weight loss and weakness of body from weight loss.
INDICA: "Puffsi" cola, hash oil in soda pop. He took 4-5 small swallows over the period of 30-40 minutes. Effects kicked in approx 20 minutes after first swallow.
The Good: I could tell the drink had kicked in not by any change in attitude from my grandfather, but by his body movement. TO my surprise, he began loosening his body, as if he was relaxed, and asked me to take his socks off so his feet could hang out beneath his covers. Since Indica is a BODY high, and for ME makes my skin sensitive, I suspect my grandfather was feeling some relief in body aches and pain, and his skin was probably more sensitive.
He turned on his side which he was hardly doing before, and vocally claimed a craving for KFC chicken. He ate more than usual when my mom gave him dinner.
The Bad: My grandfather seems to have suffered a bit of paranoia with this indica drink. When my mother tried feeding him a blue m&m, he questioned what it was, as if she was trying to poison him. When she gave him a slice of banana, he asked what "she put in it".
Residual Effects: The next day, my grandfather ate, and for the first time in months, exclaimed joy at the taste, of KFC chicken. He walked a bit more, and has shown signs of modest appetite growth.
SATIVA: I administered 4 drops of a hash oil pill to my grandfather 3 days later. I let the drops fall into the creamy center of a mini Oreo cookie. Effects took 15 minutes to kick in.
The Good: The effects took a stunningly short time to set in. Significantly faster than the drink, which surprised me because I assumed liquid would dissolve into his system faster than solids.
He began to have a mood change this time around, as I noticed a broad grin come across his face as he looked at his family (My mom, I, and my girl friend). He began to have fits of giggles and laughter at various things said in conversations. He jokingly referred to various hospital staff as "narcs", and seemed to find it hilarious when my mother and girl friend began chatting away (as women do amongst one another). Mood enhancement was completely beneficial, as it got my grandfather engaged in conversation (his vocal cords were damaged since they removed the breathing tubes.) and brought humorous and uplifting feelings, enough to cause laughter, from my grandfather.
Appetite stimulation was a definite effect this time around. MY grandfather ate a full cup of ice cream, as well as a shake, some cookies, and a vitamin drink. He also drank high amounts of water.
Memory stimulation was also a beneficial side effect. My grandfather began, on his own accord, verbally recollecting smoking a hash pipe in India during World War 2 (My grandfather was a "Merrill's Marauder" pacific fighter. A WW2 history buff should know who they were.). He claimed that the effects of medical marijuana were significantly stronger and the hash he smoked in India.
The Bad: My grandfather at one point after a laughing fit, when asked what was so funny, said he couldn't collect his thoughts. This didn't seem to bother him, but this could be regarded as a bad effect worthy of note. I think this may be a dosage problem as well.
Conclusion: Medical Marijuana has shown beneficial properties for body aches, food stimulation, mood enhancement, and memory stimulation. Some side effects based on initial dosing trials, may include some feelings of paranoia trouble with concentration. These negative effects are completely temporary, completely gone within 3 hours of initial onset of medication. Most negative effects are a result of over dosing. I will continue to administer medication and will alter dosage and strain to try to eliminate the negative effects, while enhancing the positive.
I plan, in 2 days, to administer 2 drops of an indica hash oil pill, and 2 drops of a sativa hash oil pill.

5 large drops seems to be the right doseage for my grandfather. I may still try something new, such as one drop of indica oil and 4 of sativa, to see if the indica traits meld well with the sativa traights with my grandfather. Since no indica oil is available at this moment in time, that may have to wait.
