This isn't a Covid vaccine syringe, but it DOES contains a potential treatment for Covid - pure cannabinoids! I'm using it to treat PTSD, and my wife @MediKatie is using it to make life tolerable after years of cancer surgeries and radiation burns. Watch me load it into 1000mg (one gram) capsules for convenient accurate dosing throughout the week!
Here you can see the oil at room temperature, being gathered up to be drawn into the syringe:
If you've ever made or used this stuff, you know how incredible it is. You know why billions of dollars are spent on prohibition (including "legalization"), and why YouTube videos about making cannabis oil are more censored than videos about making bombs.
It doesn't look like much, but that's 90% pure cannabinoids (mostly THC, but plenty of CBD, CBN, and dozens of trace 'noids). The other 10% consists of terpenes, flavinoids, waxes, and organic plant compounds. It all combines to form an "entourage effect", meaning the effect of everything working together is more than the effect of the individual components. They work as a unit to heal, prevent illness, and regulate our natural body processes. All mammals (and many other animals) have en endocannabinoid system.
A small drop of this oil (perhaps 10mg) would be enough to make a first-time user fried out of their skull. It's about how much active ingredient that you're getting when you buy a legalized 6-pack of government cannabis drinks (yuck).
MediKatie and I can handle 1000mg each, in a single dose.
But we're mostly immune to the unwanted effects of cannabinoids, like paranoia, confusion, anxiety, uncontrolled giggling, etc. I mean, some people enjoy those effects - to each their own! Nowadays we use cannabis to stay healthy, keep her cancer in remission, and control chronic pain. If we want to trip, we'll have to find some shrooms or something :p
Even if we didn't get high in any way, or notice it above the neck at all, we would still use cannabis. It's about far more than getting a buzz. Not that there's anything wrong with a good buzz!
Let's fill these capsules!
(Just a word on capsules! They can be made either out of vegetable matter, or out of gelatin which is cheaper. Some people don't know that gelatin is the gooey off-white gunk that floats to the surface when you boil animal bones and hides. We collect and purify it, and press it into capsules. And licorice, gummy bears, jelly, jello, marshmallows, etc etc. Yes, most candies are made of farm animal cartilage, white sugar, and dye. Just bringing you info in case you weren't aware. You can do whatever you like with it, including forgetting it! Personally, I prefer not to mix my medicine with any of that crap, and pay a little more for proper capsules.)
After weighing the empty caps, I lined them up in a pill-stuffing tool we have:
I love that photo! Check out the gooey droplets around the edges, and the deep reddish colour of the oil. That indicates decarboxylated CBD and other very medicating compounds, excellent :)
Each syringe filled about 3 caps, and then I went back for more oil.
Eventually, I filled 21 capsules. Using 10 empty and 10 full, I did a weigh-in and calculation:
Just about a gram each after deducting the empties. Perfecto!
We'll let you know how they work!
