Dang donb and all, sorry its taken me so long to reply to this.
My family was relocated clear across the country, and its taken me a while to get back up and going again after the move.
I've used CBD medicine in 4 main preparations: Sativex spray, vaporized dried buds, bubble hash, and raw fresh juiced from Cannatonic CBD and Z7 CBD.
Sativex was alright, although the mint flavoring they add isn't very tasty, and its ghastly expensive to maintain the prescription...my insurer would never cover its cost. But Sativex opened my eyes to how powerful a CBD medicine can be, and how effective it was on my disease...which led me to buy some Z7's when they first came to auction in 2011.
I don't smoke anything anymore, so I cant comment on smoking CBD medicine.
Vaporized dried buds is my favorite way to use CBD medicine, as strains like Z7 have legendary taste, and with my full organic setup, taste is king! I enjoyed the Cannatonic taste...i absolutely LOVE the Z7 taste! (even the THC Dom Z7 pheno tastes absolutely amazing!). CBD Z7 is my main daytime strain for vaporizing, as it helps without leaving me so sleepy or lethargic, that a full THC Indica would do, ie: the THC Dom pheno of Z7!
Bubble hash is great too, but I don't often make it, as I vaporize everything, including frosted trim leaves. It concentrates the wonderful flavors!
But the best way for my controlling my auto-immune disease as a long term strategy is in the raw juicing of the large fan leaves from CBD Dom strains, along with other vegetables (apple, kale, parsley, carrots, beets, ginger, lemon, celery, cuke) into a daily juice "tonic" which I consume in 3-4 daily "doses".
I dedicate one 4'x4' tent to "juicers", which grow in constant veg state, using T5 lights. I'd say I juice between 1-2 c of loosely packed fan leaves daily.
I also prune my flowering plants, removing leaves at all stages of the cycle for juicing.
In juicing, I generally stick to the leaves, as the flowers can really gum up (ie: damage) the juicer. I know of some people that use a blender and mix raw flowers with almond milk, to make a sort of smoothie, but I have never tried that myself.
The juicing regime took a few months to really kick in to my system, as I had a lot of healing in the gut/digestive system that needed to take place first, healing from both the disease and the years of medications I've had to take to try and control it.
But its been nearly 1.5 years now that I've been on this regime, and have been free from all medications for over a year, and am feeling the best I have in a decade.
The juicing regime has basically thrown my disease into a long-term remission, and I don't need to be glued to my vaporizer nearly as much as I had in the past for some simple relief. Also, the juicing regime doesn't get you lifted in any way, so you stay fully functional.
Its like the juicing regime has re-wired my insides, and has freed me from a decade plus of this disease!
I hope Shanti reads this, as I need to send him such thanks and props for creating the Z7 medicine...its absolutely vital to my health and well being!
