Greetings all,
I have a family member trying to work up to the gram a day treatment for cancer. As someone who has rarely used cannabis they are having trouble dealing with the high. We are currently at 2 1/2 drops out of the total 12 they need to work up to. The cancer is not treatable, not currently affecting their daily life and they are on no other medications.
Strain: Maui Bubble Gift: about 9% THC 16% CBD
Oil is decarbed and made from food grade ethanol extraction that has been winterized/combined with coconut oil and flavoring.
I have them taking it right before bed but they describe feeling less rested they next day. If the high kicks in before they are asleep it can make it hard to sleep. It is described as "VERY damn strong". However they do report the lectures/podcasts they listen to are extra interesting!! LOL
They continue to take it nightly but it makes them worried about how they are ever going to function at higher doses. I do not want them to get discouraged and quit all together but I can understand going from zero cannabis to very potent oils that it could be quite disassociating. I try to have them remember the feelings of radiation, surgery and pain medications but idk how much that helps or hurts really.
I have read that ibuprofen can help kill the buzz of cannabis so they are taking 500mg with the oil. They also have started taking a OTC sleeping pill to make sure they fall asleep. Here is one of the articles I read.

Does anyone have any tips or tricks for beating the high?
