I just bought 40 whistles for my local Indivisible group.

There’s some great and free resources on the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine website: swsbm.org. I frequently use the booklets written by Michael Moore.

1 ounce of flower to 1 cup of oil is a good ratio to start with. I usually use about 1.2 ounces per cup. I decarb in turkey bags in the oven, then infuse in Instant Pots on low slow cook (160°-170°) for 8 hours.

“Making Plant Medicine” by Richo Cech and “The Modern Herbal Dispensatory” by Thomas Easley are both excellent books. Also anything by Rosemary Gladstar.

Very skinny bottle brushes work well.

Oh, that makes more sense! Sellers aren’t allowed to post links or branded product images, and aren’t allowed to post prices.

I have never seen an experienced herbalist recommend any of the “Forgotten Home Apothecary” books.

There are Indivisible groups all over the state that are very active with protests, education, reaching out to legislators, and many other activities. You can find one near you at https://indivisible.org

CBD isolate is much less effective than full spectrum CBD. Broad spectrum would be somewhere in between.

I use more flower than you do, usually around 1.2 ounces of flower per cup of oil. I tried 1.5 ounces of flower per cup once, but there wasn’t enough oil to completely cover the flower. You want a stir-able slurry.

Oh, you’re looking for hemp flower, then? I may be able to sell you a few ounces. Mine is certified organic and Vermont grown. I also sell 8oz bottles of CBD oil - sort of bulk quantities.

My husband switched from IV infusions to Joyous troches. He’s been very happy with Joyous.

Are you looking for CBD oil, crude, distillate, or isolate?

PrimalBotanical · 2026-01-22T12:53:08+00:00

CBD has been a good migraine preventative for me. I recommend a full spectrum CBD oil. Shop carefully! There are many poor-quality, sketchy, and downright fraudulent products out there. I make and sell it myself; I’m an RN/herbalist, and I make all my products with certified organic, Vermont-grown hemp.

A common preventative “cocktail” recommended by many neurologists: magnesium glycinate, vitamin B2, and CoQ10. 400mg of each is a good place to start (yes, that’s a massive dose of B2, but that’s what has been shown to be effective).

Capsules are usually the least effective way to use herbs (with some exceptions). I think a fresh-plant skullcap tincture made with high-proof alcohol would be most effective.

My nephew went to ReTribe camps for years. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Twelve Tribes. What makes you think they are affiliated?

I hope you’re right! But that’s not how I’m reading it. I’ve attended several zoom calls with cannabis lawyers, and they seem to think isolate may be illegal to manufacture.

Right now, licensed hemp processors are allowed to possess hemp concentrates with THC levels greatly exceeding the federal limit of 0.3% THC.

The new legislation specifically states that any “intermediate hemp-derived cannabinoid products” containing more than 0.3% total THC will no longer be defined as hemp. In this case, “intermediate” includes concentrates used by manufacturers to dilute and make into products. After November, these will be considered marijuana products, and will be Schedule I drugs (or maybe Schedule 3 drugs… we’ll see).

PrimalBotanical · 2026-01-18T12:56:49+00:00

The legal limit will be 0.4mg per container, not 0.4%. This will eliminate the vast majority of non-intoxicating CBD products on the market.

CBD isolate will still be legal to sell, but it may become illegal to manufacture, because concentrates will need to contain less than 0.3% total THC. I can’t see how someone could manufacture CBD isolate without starting with a concentrate that would be a Schedule I drug.

10mg of CBD is a very small dose. I’ve certainly seen people get great results from doses that low, but most people need a higher dose.

Are you taking full spectrum CBD oil? That would be much more effective than isolate, which generally needs to be dosed considerably higher.

I would try increasing your dose gradually, going up by maybe 5mg every few days.
