That's what I thought until I went to Washington and discussed with retail person. Indica is high in CBN which has more of a relaxing body high. They had little that was high in CBD, but they had Indica and Sativa strains high in THC. CBD is associated with wakefulness and reduces inflammation. Since CBD was being hogged by the medical community, it hadn't made it to the recreational market yet. CBD will dampen the psychotic and paranoia effects of high THC weed.Originally Posted by Lopez

My 87 year old aunt died this morning. I spent the day running around msking funeral and burial arrangements. It was all paid for in advance. RIP Auntie.
Sorry to hear about that, Vic2012.
Thanks Gruno.
Reluctantly I must admit that you're right, but his gut is bigger (not that mine is non-existent).

Sorry for your loss, Vic.
My condolences, Vic.
Was this the relative you were taking care of along with your mother, or am I getting it mixed up?

I am very sorry for your loss Vic.
A Comfort Zone is not a Life Sentence
My mother is in a home for aging dementia patients. She's still living. My aunt (mom's sister) was the one I was living with. She passed away at the hospital yesterday morning. It's a long story but she was a stubborn woman. She flatly refused to go to the hospital when I offered so many times. She flatly, and stubbornly refused to live at the ALF with her sister. So, she fell down again and fractured the same arm that she fractured a year and a half ago. I knew that general anesthesia at her age (87) was risky but she signed the consent form. She never fully recovered. She could never get the CO2 out of her blood. The last 3-4 days of her life were sad to witness. She wore an oxygen mask and could never take it off. The look of fear on her face was sad to see.
Unfortunately, that generation (our parents generation, The Great Depression) never understood that sitting still, for hours and hours, watching TV and eating ice cream would eventually do them in. I'm not gonna judge anyone. I might get a terminal illness one day, or have some tragic accident and die relatively young, but one thing I will never do is just sit still. A body in motion stays in motion.
I spent all of Monday making funeral arrangements. I was amazed at how calm I was through the whole process. I haven't even told my mother that her sister passed away. That's the first thing I'm doing today. It's all been a huge learning experience for me. I was in the process of placing my aunt in hospice care. I knew about Hospice but I didn't know it was such a big business. As soon as they caught wind at the hospital that I was thinking of placing my aunt in Hospice I got 5-6 calls within 30 minutes from Hospice companies. Sorry for the rambling post. I've spent all morning emailing family members and getting it all out.
Thanks all for the condolences.......
One thing to remember is to never apologize for 'rambling' at a time like this. If it helps, keep doing it. Shutting down and keeping it in could be far worse for you, especially at this time of year. As shown in this thread, there are those who care for you and are open to listening. Hang in there and just be yourself.
Thanks again Gruno.
Man I get it, Vic. Even though my ex & I have been divorced for 14 years, it's still horrible to watch her downhill progression, and what it's doing to her (my) children.
All the best, man!

Thank you Geezer. One never wants to see their elderly loved ones expire the way my aunt did. You wish they'd go peacefully in their sleep. I'm glad (as bad as that sounds) that she expired at the hospital and not at home because it would've meant I have to call 911, the police, etc. She died in a medical facility where the staff did their best to keep her alive. My aunt and I had agreed on signing a "do not resuscitate" document so it's possible that her heart just gave out. I didn't even ask the staff what she died of because it didn't make any difference at that point. I was just relieved that she was no longer suffering.
Good luck with breaking the news to your Mother, it's a tricky one with dementia. My Mum never could grasp that Dad had passed on, she had to face the news every day throughout the last year of her life, it was heartbreaking.
You are doing great Vic, and getting on with things in a methodical and dispassionate way is some sort of therapy at times like this. It certainly helped me to focus and stay straight.
Thanks. My mother's dementia isn't full blown Alzheimer because she knows who everyone is, but sometimes she just stares ahead with a blank look. My mother is obsessive about time though. She's gotta have that clock in front of her. She's forgetting how to tell time and doesn't know one day from the next. I know it'll get worse and the months/years go by. I've been preparing my mother about her sister for a while so I don't expect (or I hope) her to freak out. By the way, I still need to tell my aunt's daughter.
Sorry to hear this, Vic.
Life is for living, not sitting still. Keep moving and help those around you to move and to live. Spread the love while you mourn your Auntie.
My mother retained the knowledge of who we all were right up until the end, which was gratifying and a lot easier on the grandchildren. She lost the ability to retain any recent information including new people she came into contact with. We could always chat about the old days, and in many ways she thought she was back 40 years previously. Her progression was slow and although she had serious issues the last 5 years, in some ways it could have been worse.

Vic,
Hang in there.
I went through this very thing 1 year ago when my Father passed (age 82)....at the very end, he too thought that it was 1953 and he had just gotten back from serving in the Army. He kept asking me "where is my duffle bag"?....It was very tough to watch/hear.
My thoughts are with you.

Yes, I remember my father's similar issues as he got farther into Parkinson's disease. Life has a funny way of coming full circle and making our parents children once more. That is when we return the favor for their devotion to us when we were young.
Well, auntie is in the ground and she's resting in peace. The viewing was very nice and beautiful, and the burial was short, but very touching. I've been to lots of viewings and a few burials in my life but this was my first experience having to make all the arrangements. In other words, this was the first time I've ever had to "bury" a relative. But, it wasn't as stressful as I was expecting because everything was bought/paid for years in advance. My mother did the same many years ago, so when her time comes I'll repeat the process.
OK, listen up.
What all of you want to take is Elysium Basis at $1.50 a day.NR is a derivative of vitamin B3 and a blueberry extract. Six Nobel laureates are on the science committee. Maybe you should wait until results are posted and published early next year.
What NR does is increase your NAD+ that we all have in every cell. But it depletes from age 40 or so. You want to take this. Now. This a supplement so you can buy NR (vitamin B3 derivative) and ptersotilbine (blueberry compund) separately but so far the cost seems about the same. (I don't buy Elysium but the savings is small.)
But ya'll on this thread are soooo much smarter than six Noble laureates right?
Just trying to help. I take it, and I like it.
