Out of the hundreds of treatments I've tried, it seems that marijuana is the only substance that makes my daily IBS symptoms completely disappear.
Right now I've only been vaporizing. But my hope is to make cannabis butter to a precise dosage, then put that amount into small gelatin capsules. I would then like to take the dosage as needed everyday to combat the pain. (Perhaps once at bedtime and once in the afternoon.) I am planning on experimenting because I still have a day job, so I want to get the painkilling aspect of the THC without as much of the euphoria and the high so I can still work. I suspect that I will need to experiment multiple times with dosages to get this right.
Here is the Magical Butter 2 that I just purchased if you are not familiar with the product:
I'm new to this, so I will definitely have a few questions. Firstly, I'm hoping that my plan here is logically sound. I assume putting the butter into a gelatin capsule and storing them won't be a problem with refrigeration and that the absorption in the stomach will work well.
If so, here are my other questions:
1) What strain should I use? As stated, I'm looking for something to quell my stomach pain and bloating, while reducing my anxiety that won't knock me out. Preferably something I can still focus and work with while ingesting. Currently my friend has three strains: Kryptonite, Bubba Kush and OG Kush. Which would work the best of these three?
2) Per Magical Butter, the butter recipe calls for 4-10 sticks of butter and 4-8 grams of herb per stick of butter. Since I'm new to edibles in general I'm not quite sure where to even start here. Is there an arbitrary number that would be safe to try first? Maybe 4 sticks and 4 grams per each stick?(I'm planning on keeping all my measurements documented so I can precisely experiment and find the right amount that works for me. I will also keep time of when I start to feel the effects of each dose/how long/etc.)
3) Right now I smoke every day, but I do not dose with edibles, so will I have to eventually assess my tolerance and keep making more potent batches each time I do this?
Thank you all in advance for reading this long, drawn-out post. I am really hoping this works, and really do appreciate your input or just your desire to take a look at my post. Thanks!
