My wife is babysitting our eldest granddaughter in Hevingham today, and I’m staying in Southrepps for the day to progress with this week’s vlog. We want to spend a few days on our boat, and (currently) the weather forecast for Friday (my usual day for writing/filming/editing my vlog) isn’t looking too bad.
I had a Twitter message from another television production company this morning, wanting to know if I would be interested in taking part in a program that they are making for Channel 4 about health, to talk about my medicinal use of cannabis. So, it looks like the downstairs of our little cottage is going to be invaded by a camera crew for the second time this year.
I received a package in the post this morning. It was a box containing five 5ml syringes filled with CBD oil. I was emailed few days ago by a company called British Cancer Vaccines – they are a UK charity performing a trial of CBD oil (0.3% THC,12% CBD, full plant extract) on a group of cancer patients. The chap that emailed me wanted to know if it would be any good for Parkinson’s (because his mother has PD) and offered to send me some free samples to evaluate. While I was examining one of the syringes, I managed to dispense some of the oil by mistake. Rather than waste it, I took a dose of the oil. The dosage that they are giving the cancer patients is 2 grams per day, but I somehow managed to take 3 grams. Let’s just say that I was in an extremely relaxed state for the rest of the day, and I didn’t make any progress with my vlog. Apparently they wanted me to start off with taking 0.5 gram and increase dosage to 1 gram if required – I shall certainly be a little more conservative with my measures next time!
