I'ts funny cause my mom all my life hated me smoking, but now i might be able to get her to eat a cookie, she is considering it, she has bad arthritis :(
Yes, get her to try the edibles, but also keep in mind that there are salves and tinctures described on the site that will work topically and TAKE AWAY HER PAIN.

Read this thread: Healing Hemp Oil Experiment

In there they descibe the benefits of the oil. You can make a salve to treat her by using just your leaves. Sugar leaves are best, but it will work with any type of the plant, if you have enough. Then she will not have to smoke it persay, and can get the releif she needs. If you can get her to actually ingest the oil, it could help her recovery hugely. Read that thread. There are many on this site about the oil and other forms of healing infusions.

Peace and I hope this helps you both.

an old soul
often times
can be very young
and very old
in the same moment...

i think it's because
our deep well of experience
has left connections to both

I love pinching my man's butt and telling him how beautiful he is....not dead yet! Although he says no one ever told him that before....maybe that is why this kind of love is so fine. Age and wisdom give you insight to the soul of your love. It seems so blocked by other doubts when we are young. "Does he love me? Is he sure? Is it only me?" with age comes a falling away of that doubt and security that no one would be here if it was not real.

And it would not feel so at peace....age does have it's advantages.

so eloquently! I look at the man I love, and feel nothing but certainty and clarity. Whereas, in my youth, there was nothing but confusion, doubt and chaos! Good riddance to that!

my mom told me when i went back to college as an adult with kids that my brain wouldn't work as well as the kids because i hadn't been using it all these year! Can you imagine? She thinks she gets dumber as she gets older.

well, I went back to school alright! Blew the young kids out of the water in every single class. Being at the top of the class was simply a choice of how much time and effort i wanted to spend..

and yet, she is correct. SHE does get dumber as she gets older, because that's what she believes about herself.

She often sets examples for me as to what NOT to do, say, or believe... Not complaining, mind you. It's very useful knowledge!
Thanks, I hope it helps her , And wow I hate school, but yah it is all just about effort...About what you said about her telling you waht to do I have a comment about that.....Too many times in life as parents we dont advocate for our kids instead we tell them what to do and give them ****, when we should be defending there beliefs and such :/

I know that one soooo well! While my kids where growing up I insisted they try new things, even if it was difficult or if they where shy. They had to be bold and try it! I pushed them to do things. Many parents of other kids that would come here, to the country, seemed so afraid of their kids growing up. I always said they wanted to wrap them in bubble wrap!

One mother insisted her daughter not walk down our country road, as she could get hit. Not go near our creek, all 6 inches deep of it, as she could drown. Not ride on the fast bike as she could fall. ALL of these fears of the mum held this girl back. One time, they missed their ride home. I trusted MY daughter and believed in her, I had spent years teaching her to be safe. They got to where they where going, safely, but this same other mother (bubble wrap mum that would not let her kid walk down a country road) almost cracked up waiting for them. I said there comes a point you have to believe you taught your kids well enough to cover all these things and know that this will get them through life. Much of it is faith with our kids. We have to believe in them and if we have given them enough courage in life, they will survive.

Unfortunately, this same young girl is the one about to give birth now. She was not taught to handle the reality of life. Over protected and sheltered so she did not know how to protect herself. ...don't do that to your young kids. Teach them to handle life, take chances and how to win! And to be adventurous, safely. Otherwise, they truly are not educated.

Peace

that would also include
not bailing them out everytime they get into trouble
allowing them to learn how to deal
and holding them accountable for their actions
so they learn that life has consequenses and how to focus their energy in more positive ways...

...and unfortunatly, with my son, that has held so true! I have refused to bail him out...rescue him and on and on. Otherwise, he would never be able to live on his own in this world. It breaks your heart at times. And you get called cold and heartless. But it is indeed showing the MOST love you can. And truely does take huge courage.

....how many times can you put a box BACK on the shelf and leave it in God's hands? I guess as long as you need to.

Peace
