2018-08-30 – Birthday presents.

I need to get my daughter’s birthday card posted off to her, and her birthday presents ordered before lunchtime (so that they are delivered tomorrow), so this morning (after walking the dog) I spend an hour or so online and order a necklace and some perfume for her, sign her card and put it in the postbox.

My wife calls me mid-morning to ask me to go to see our friend (the one who is dealing with Crohn’s disease and the aftermath of bowel cancer and the subsequent chemotherapy) – she’s not in good shape at the moment and needs some help and support, so I drive over to see her and we sit and have a chat over a cup of tea.  She’s still freaking out at the thought of taking an illegal drug (medicinal cannabis), even though her consultant seems to have hinted that perhaps she should try “a herbal remedy” without going into any more detail – I think it’s criminal that the law currently prevents him from just coming out and saying “cannabis might help you”.  She wants to try making some dietary changes that have been suggested to her, so we make a shopping list and I drive into Norwich to visit Rainbow Wholefoods and an Asian food stall in the covered market, where I’m able to purchase almost everything on the list.

I make a detour to Wayford Bridge on the way back to our friend’s house, to check on the boat and pump the bilges out (still no sign of an engineer).

  1. Could you give me details of how to get the correct type of canibus for Parkinson’s.
    I tried some that was used by someone I know for recreational use but I have never smoked so I could inhale properly and it wasn’t probably the right type and it just made me light headed and sleepy.
    I am desparate to get of Sinemet as the side effects are killing me .
    I have tried a canibidoil from America but it had no effect what so ever

    1. Hi Janet

      It all depends upon the person and the symptoms. Personally I use a strain called Northern Lights, which is a very popular medicinal strain. I need something with a decent amount of THC to counter my tremor and dystonia. If you got some oil previously, i’m guessing you just bought CBD oil which has limited effect (for me) and is very variable in strength and quality. Try looking on http://www.leafly.com and browse through the varieties of cannabis on there to see what kind of effect you are seeking.

      Cheers

      Ian
