DH put it perfectly when summing up the visit from Caretaker#1.

Tupperware.

Or a few other "parties," i.e. baskets, fine glassware. I used to demonstrate/sell Pampered Chef kitchen items.

Caretaker#1 brought enough ware and by the end of the visit, I was sorta lost as to what would be good to try in terms of alleviating the sx's of MS.

It was fun and interesting. I do wish I could have had a party and those of you that wished could have been here.

I am unsure of the topical MMJ creams. He allowed me to try a modest sample. I tried two different ones, one on my finger and one on my foot. Both have pain, the areas affected are larger but I did not want to use all his demo stuff.

He had an interesting vaporizer, different from mine. Mine looks like a pencil sharpener with an attachment for the bowl and whip/tube. His is similar to an electronic cigarette? A few of you use it instead of smoking cigarettes. The cartridge has hash. It gives approximately 600 draws. Cost was $35/cartridge but the mechanism was expensive at about $100.

I took a draw. No head effect and although I had started to spasm while sitting, I was either distracted or the one hit was sufficient. Taste was okay. Breathing air is best but this did not make me cough.

I tried a strawberry tincture. Tasted like cough medicine. Recommended dosing was about 2-3 droppers full. I do not know the price.

I swapped a few of my bud varieties for his because he had buds that may work better. I will tell you about them as I experiment.

He gave me a capsule of a liquid. It is too expensive when compared to my Ambien but he wanted me to try it and let him know if it worked to keep me sleeping all night.

It was fun and no, i am not afraid of what he gave me. Most were professionally labeled. He would love for me to be a regular patient so overstoning me would not be smart.

From his persepctive - this is a good business opportunity, gives him a sense of helping holistically. He has to try everything so he can have an opinion. I was hoping he would let me be a guinea pig too but my own search into medicinal mj is going to cost me so it will be a conservative adventure.

But it was fun. I do wish I could have had a MMJ party. It would have been as much fun as tupperware, maybe even more!
