Although you can find a ton of information online about cannabis oil, also known as RSO (Rick Simpson Oil), there is very little information on methods and dosing of cannabis tinctures concerning different conditions.
This article clarifies which methods work best in which cases and provides dosing roadmaps for several conditions.
Tetrahydrocannabinol Cancer Treatment
There are several methods to treat cancer using Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is found in cannabis. And anyone that does some simple research on the internet will quickly understand that there are many success stories. The other side of the coin is that it is being portraited as quackery or, at best, ridiculed as alternative medicine.
Regular Cancer Treatment is Big Business
Big pharma has a lot of influence and power, and the reintroduction of powerful plant-based medicine is not in their interest. And it seems like, especially with cancer treatment, traditional medicine has shown inferior results.
The medical industry spends billions of (taxpayers) dollars on research and development of cancer medication each year (~6$ billion in the U.S.). Yet after 70 years of active research, still today, the only cancer treatments used by regular medicine are surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
The latter two destroy your entire body, and often they do irreparable damage to your immune system, exponentially increasing the chances of cancer returning in more than one place. Besides, some doctors claim that most of the time, chemo and radiation don’t work.
Cancer Statistics
About 70 years ago, humankind discovered cancer, and only one in sixteen people would get cancer. This number reduced to one in ten, 40 years ago, and now one-third of the people get cancer during their lifetime. No wonder more and more people are waking up to these disturbing facts.
Cannabis Oil Usage Methods
- Sublingual (under your tongue)
- Rectally, using suppositories
- Orally; swallowing drops or capsules
- Smoking or vaping
- Applying oil to the skin
You should not confuse Cannabis oil with CBD oil. The main component of cannabis oil is THC, and in CBD oil, it’s CBD. For cancer treatment, the experience of our audience recommends a mixture of Cannabis and CBD oil.
But, how best to take THC drops? It all depends on your condition. The closer you can get the cannabis oil to the cancer source, the better.
The best way to obtain cannabis oil is from your local dispensary if you are from the US and a cannabis-legal state. CBDistillery 5000 is lab tested and a suitable CBD oil for cancer when you consider the value and full-spectrum cannabinoids, bringing you the “entourage effect”.
You can buy Full-spectrum CBD capsules or oil online, following the link. If you are Canadian, you can choose an online dispensary in Canada and purchase cannabis pills online. In the United States, online cannabis sales are only allowed in a few States for now.
The Effectiveness of Different Cannabis Usage Methods
Sublingual
The sublingual method is, first of all, the most effective way. Its effect is noticeable sooner than the oral method, and its working time is almost the same. Therefore, most people use it for pain treatment with CBD for quick relief.
Cannabidiol cancer treatment is, however, most effective the closer you can bring it to the cancer source. So, if your cancer is in the lower part of your body, the following method will be more effective:
Rectally (Suppositories)
Almost equally compelling is the rectal intake, depending on the location of your cancer. With a suppository, your body absorbs 50% to 70% of the plants’ medicine. This is a lot.
As mentioned before, bring cannabis oil as close to the cancer source as possible for the best results. Therefore, the medical cannabis community especially recommends this method for bowel and prostate cancer and cancer forms in the lower part of the body.
There are two ways to insert a suppository, both with different effects and purposes.
- Upper rectum
- Lower rectum
Upper and Lower Rectum Insertion
When you insert a suppository in the upper rectum (deeper), it is absorbed into the first-pass metabolism and first passes through the liver, after which it passes through the entire body. The route the cannabinoids take through your body is similar to sublingual submission and also when taken orally.
The cannabinoids pass through your liver, so you likely experience a ‘high’ in the head at first. Your body, however, does get used to it. Hence, it would be best to start with small doses, and consequently, it will take three to five weeks on average to get to the whole dosage level.
When you insert a suppository in the lower rectum (less deep), it is absorbed into the vascular system, bypassing the liver. Because you bypass the liver, most patients do not experience a ‘high’ in the head but only a comfortable body relaxation. This is probably the most considerable advantage of this intake method.
Another benefit is that you can increase dosages faster. You get to the desired dosing level quicker. Especially late-stage cancer and patients that doctors have given up on, they must get to the full dosage as quickly as possible.
You should bear in mind that the reaction to cannabis is different for everybody, and it has little to do with your weight or size. Therefore, one person might get used to it much quicker than the other, and you need to finetune cannabis oil dosing to yourself.
Orally
It is also helpful to take cannabis oil orally by swallowing it. It takes a little longer for the cannabis to get absorbed by your body, and it is a suitable method of taking cannabis oil for cancer treatment.
The effectiveness of cannabis oil increases the closer you can bring it to the cancer source. Therefore, the iDWeeds community recommends this method to patients with cancer forms in the upper part of the digestive system, such as throat and stomach cancer.
The effect lead time of oral intake is longer because it has to go through your digestive tract. However, the working time is with six to eight hours optimal for cancer treatment.
This method also causes a ‘high’ in the head and needs to be started slowly to give your body the time to get used to it. Once you get used to it, the moment you take your dose is not essential.
However, when you start, we recommend taking your dose after meals, brush your teeth, and rinse your mouth afterward.
You probably didn’t realize that there are also THC hard candy and gummies for sale. They pose an excellent alternative to oil if you want to be discreet about your treatment or don’t like the taste of hemp.
Vaping
Vaping is an effective method of taking cannabis oil for medical reasons in terms of absorption. You get the quickest effect after approximately a few minutes, but the effects last shorter than with other intake methods- between one and two hours only.
As this method causes an intense high, people usually use it for recreational use. But for medical applications, we even recommend it as a parallel intake with cancer forms involving the lungs, throat, bronchi, and other parts that come in contact with the inhaled cannabis.
For example, cured patients recommend vaping twice a day, besides the sublingual or oral lung cancer procedure (see regular roadmap below).
Use about half a gram or up to one gram of finely ground cannabis per day. Find out here what the best CBD vape pen is for oil.
ALS patients usually have problems with excessive saliva. According to anecdotal reports, smoking or vaping cannabis reduces saliva and provokes coughing, which keeps ALS patients from choking. We, therefore, see many ALS patients having great benefits from vaping.
Applying Oil to the Skin
This method is very effective with skin cancer and is described in detail later in this article.
Smoking
Smoking is the least effective method. You feel the effects quickly, but they last shorter. Besides that, due to the burning process, many vital components are lost vs. sublingual. And for smoking, you need cannabis herbs as you cannot smoke cannabis oil. But, you can apply it to the surface of your joint.
-Skin Cancer Treatment with Cannabis Oil
As already mentioned, it is best to bring the cannabis oil as close as possible to the cancer source. Therefore, with skin cancer, it is very effective. Because with this form of cancer, you can directly apply the oil to the cancer source.
You should apply cannabis oil to the cancer-affected skin and cover it with a bandage. Every four days, you should apply new oil and replace the bandage every couple of weeks.
We have had reports from patients that skin cancer disappeared in a few days or five to six weeks in very severe cases.
Like other treatments, you need to continue this treatment two or three weeks after the cancer has disappeared to ensure that it doesn’t return.
Cannabis Oil Dosing Roadmaps
We provide an average dosing roadmap that can be increased or decreased based on the patients’ reactions. We consider it essential to stay within your comfort zone, although there are no medical downsides to slightly overdosing.
Regular Cannabis Oil Dosing Roadmap
- The Cannabis oil dosing roadmap aims to reach one gram per day.
- Start with 5-10 mg, three times a day, every 8 hours:
- After breakfast, e.g., 8 AM
- In the afternoon, e.g., 2 PM
- Before going to bed, e.g., 10 PM
- Double the dosing every four days
- In three weeks, you will reach the desired dosing.
- This treatment will take approximately three months, which is roughly 60 grams.
The table below outlines the regular dosing road maps indicating the days you need to increment the cannabis oil dosing. Once you reach the cannabis oil dosing of 1 gram per day after three to five weeks, you continue with 1 gram per day for the remaining days until the end of the 90-day treatment period.
In severe cases, patients often extend their treatment to 120 or 180 days while continuing the 1 gram per day of cannabis oil.
You should not confuse cannabis oil with CBD oil. The main component of cannabis oil is THC, and of course, it is CBD in CBD oil. For cancer treatment, the medical cannabis community recommends a mixture of Cannabis oil and CBD dosage.

Important
- Use Responsibly
- Keep out of reach of children and pets
- Store in a secure and dark place
- Do not use during pregnancy
- When driving, we do not recommend using it
- Please do not take it on holidays abroad
- Always consult a medical doctor concerning the decrease or cancellation of regular medication.
When you are sensitive to cannabis oil, first of all, decrease the dosage by half in the beginning and increase the 4-day incrementation period to 5 or 6 days. After about five weeks, your body will have adapted to the treatment, and most people even enjoy it after that. Furthermore, once you get used to the cannabis, you will no longer experience the ‘high’ in the head, but probably only this comfortable feeling that some people compare with being wrapped in a warm blanket.
Usage Instructions
When the oil is cold, it is very thick. For easier cannabis oil dosing, you should warm it up. For example, hold the syringe in or under warm water or carefully heat it with a lighter.
- Wash your hands
- Put some cannabis oil on your index finger and hold it behind your lower lip onto your lower gum.
- Hold the cannabis oil onto your lower gum until it sticks
- After that, gently massage it in from left to right, making circular motions
- Keep doing this until your gum has absorbed all the cannabis oil
Urgent Cannabis Oil Dosing Roadmap
We often hear of life-threatening situations and cases where there is no time to lose, like late-stage cancer or when the doctors have given the patient only a short time to live. Because of urgency, you need to increase the cannabis oil dosing and shorten the implementation time. However, it would be best to give your body still the time to get used to cannabis.
In severe cases, patients have taken the 60-gram treatment within one month. We suggest the following cannabis oil dosing roadmap for this urgent treatment of severe cancer cases. The urgent roadmap ramps up a lot faster than the regular roadmap, so patients who choose this method will have to deal with the unpleasant THC oil side effects described later in this article.
Urgent Roadmap
Urgent | mg / dosing | mg / day |
---|---|---|
Day 1 to 4 | 167 | 500 |
Day 5 to 8 | 250 | 750 |
Day 9 to 12 | 500 | 1500 |
Day 13 to 16 | 750 | 2250 |
Day 17 to 20 | 875 | 2625 |
Day 21 to 24 | 958 | 2875 |
Day 25 to 30 | 1000 | 3000 |
* The length of the urgent treatment is 60 grams in 30 days. When necessary, you can extend it to 60 or 90 days.
Cannabis Dosage After Treatment
Once you have gone through the regular treatment, it is wise to do an after-treatment of six months with a much lower dosage. The regular treatment typically takes three months, but you could extend it to four or six months in more severe cases.
This way, you make sure cancer does not come back. As an after-treatment, people usually take 1/10th of the regular dosage or 100 mg per day.
How to Make Cannabis Suppositories
It is surprisingly easy to make your own cannabis suppositories. You can either use reusable or disposable molds, which both are readily available online and in drugstores.
Based on the suppository roadmap below, you need to start with lower cannabis oil concentrations and gradually increase the dosage to reach the regular dosage of 1 gram (1000 mg) per day. Because you need to take three times a day for four days suppositories of the same concentration, you need 12 suppositories of the same concentration for the ramp-up period.
Cannabis Suppository Ingredients
You will need the following ingredients (based on the regular dosage of 1 gram cannabis oil per day; decrease according to the table for the ramp-up suppositories):
Ingredients for four days / 12 suppositories
Only reduce the THC amount during the ramp-up phase. The other ingredients stay the same.
- 30 grams (1/8th cup) of organic cocoa or shay butter (for 12 suppositories)
- Four grams of Cannabis oil. (Check the table below for ramp-up concentrations)
- 400 mg of CBD oil (upon desire but recommended). For example, one bottle of CBDPure 600 equals 600 mg of CBD.
Did you know that when you mix cocoa into your suppositories, you further reduce the chances of getting ‘high’?
CBD also reduces the chances of getting high and it mitigates pain and nausea. Therefore, many patients increase this dosage two or threefold, based on these symptoms.
DYI Suppository Instructions
First of all, melt the butter in a small pan but avoid boiling it. Add the cannabis oil and CBD oil and stir until they are thoroughly blended. After letting the butter blend cool off for a couple of minutes, you can fill the molds.
It is best to use a syringe to fill the molds. Finally, put the molds in the freezer and let them solidify for about an hour.
Instead of the butter mentioned above, people also often use coconut oil. Hence you need to use the type of coconut oil that solidifies when cooled. However, in some cases, coconut oil can cause an allergic reaction- so keep that in mind.
Cannabis/CBD Suppository Dosing
When you take suppositories, you also need to build up slowly to get used to the cannabis. However, you can ramp up much quicker in this case. The dosing is done by changing the concentration of cannabis oil and CBD oil in the suppositories, not by the number of suppositories you take.
Cannabidiol (or CBD, not to be confused with cannabis oil) is most of all used as a supportive component for cannabis cancer treatment. Because it is an effective pain reliever besides other substantial health benefits, it inhibits nausea and vomiting and is an anti-inflammatory. There is more info in the ‘What does CBD feel like’ and the ‘How to use CBD oil’ articles.
Regular Suppository Roadmap
3-week ramp-up | Suppository Dosing | mg / Day | mg / suppository | mg / 12 suppositories |
---|---|---|---|---|
Day 1 to 4 | 3 times a day | 30 | 10 | 120 |
Day 5 to 8 | 3 times a day | 63 | 21 | 250 |
Day 9 to 12 | 3 times a day | 125 | 42 | 500 |
Day 13 to 16 | 3 times a day | 250 | 83 | 1000 |
Day 17 to 20 | 3 times a day | 500 | 167 | 2000 |
Day 21 to 90 | 3 times a day | 1000 | 333 | 4000 |
5-week ramp-up | Suppository Dosing | mg / Day | mg / suppository | mg / 12 suppositories |
---|---|---|---|---|
Day 1 to 4 | 3 times a day | 13 | 4 | 50 |
Day 5 to 8 | 3 times a day | 30 | 10 | 120 |
Day 9 to 12 | 3 times a day | 60 | 20 | 240 |
Day 13 to 16 | 3 times a day | 125 | 42 | 500 |
Day 17 to 20 | 3 times a day | 188 | 63 | 750 |
Day 21 to 24 | 3 times a day | 250 | 83 | 1000 |
Day 25 to 28 | 3 times a day | 350 | 117 | 1400 |
Day 29 to 32 | 3 times a day | 500 | 167 | 2000 |
Day 33 to 34 | 3 times a day | 750 | 250 | 3000 |
Day 35 to 90 | 3 times a day | 1000 | 333 | 4000 |
Urgent Suppository Road Map
Using this roadmap, you will arrive at 1 gram of cannabis oil per day, recommended for cancer patients. The standard treatment takes three months and roughly 60 grams of cannabis oil (5-week ramp-up).
However, in urgent, life-threatening situations, similar to the urgent roadmap for oral intake (see above), the dosing can be increased to the extent of taking the entire 60-gram treatment in one month. In this case, you will most likely have to deal with side effects, which we describe below.
Maintaining Your Health After Cancer Treatment
Maintenance Dosing
In general, we recommend continuing to take cannabis oil just to keep your health in good condition. Only a couple of drops a day, which amounts to about 1 gram or milliliter a month, is enough to maintain your health.
Cannabis oil not only treats cancer, but it enhances your general health and has, amongst others, the following health benefits:
- Prevents cancer
- Improves heart health
- Reduces eye diseases like Glaucoma
- Decreases skin aging
- Relieves stress and anxiety
- Improves sleep
- Eliminates headaches
- Mitigates pain
- Boosts appetite
Besides cannabis oil, we recommend mixing it with CO2 CBD oil because CBD has other positive effects on your health.
Parallel Use of Regular Medication
When using regular medication, you need to be aware of a few things before starting cannabis oil treatment and always consult a medical doctor who has experience with cannabis treatment.
The following three scenarios require special attention when starting cannabis oil treatment:
- Parallel use of regular painkillers, steroids, or morphine
- Usage of blood pressure medication in parallel with cannabis
- Insulin usage for diabetes in parallel with cannabis
Parallel Use of Regular Painkillers, Steroids, or Morphine
The side effects of using regular painkillers, along with cannabis oil, can be harmful. Ideally, you should stop the traditional pain treatment on day one of your cannabis oil treatment, or at least drastically reduce it and range it down to zero within the first week or up to three weeks in case of severe dosages.
However, because of the pain relief properties of cannabis oil, caused by the THC and CBD components, it also provides pain relief. By using additional CBD for pain relief, you can increase the effects of these natural products, allowing you to reduce the regular painkillers quicker.
Some CBD brands are white label CBD oil. They are identical to the original product, just with different labeling.
Risk of Addiction to ‘Big Pharma’ Painkillers
Check out the best Cannabidiol oils for pain and the best Cannabidiol oils for anxiety, as well as CBD oil for dogs.
Very often, regular painkillers, like morphine, are highly addictive, and it can be challenging for patients to reduce them, and they can even suffer from withdrawal symptoms. It is good to know that cannabis oil helps to reduce these symptoms much quicker.
Parallel Use of Blood Pressure Medication
THC tincture for sale in dispensaries (and online in some states) lowers your blood pressure, so it can drop too far when you combine it with regular blood pressure medication. Monitor your blood pressure regularly and reduce the conventional medicines as needed while increasing cannabis oil to keep your blood pressure at a healthy level.
If you already have low blood pressure, you need to decrease the cannabis oil dosing in the beginning and ramp it up over a more extended period (for example, six to eight weeks instead of three to five). Also, in this case, the regular monitoring of your blood pressure should serve as a guideline, keeping it at comfortable levels.
Insulin Usage for Diabetes in Parallel with Cannabis
Patients who have diabetes are regularly monitoring their blood sugar levels to determine the dose of insulin. When starting cannabis oil treatment, you can expect to reduce insulin intake until you can finally eliminate it.
Side Effects and Overdosing
Cannabis oil is generally not harmful and can by no means cause death even when overdosing. However, unpleasant side effects can occur in some instances. These side effects, in general, happen in the following cases:
- General side effects
- Side effects due to parallel use of regular medication
- Side effects due to overdosing
General Side Effects
The following side effects might occur when starting the cannabis treatment.
- Dry mouth
- Fatigue or weariness
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Regular toilet visits
- Appetite reduction
These side effects are temporary and will disappear when you get used to the treatment in three to five weeks. You can reduce them by reducing both the dosing and incrementation speed.
We recommend always drinking enough water. Especially when starting the cannabis oil treatment, you need to pay attention to this and drink water regularly. The tired feeling you most likely get is actually beneficial to the healing process, and you should go along with it and rest as much as possible. It is usual for patients to sleep for hours during the day while at the same time sleeping much better and longer at night.
Side Effects Due to Parallel Use of Regular Medication
Depending on the type of regular medication used, people suffer from nausea to vomiting. If this is the case, it is good to remember that regular medicines could be causing the problem. It is best to reduce the regular medication as soon as possible instead of the cannabis oil treatment.
Cannabis oil is a natural product, and it enhances your body’s own ability to fight diseases and infections. Most of the regular medications used are chemical substances that harm our stomach and other organs. Cannabis oil stimulates our body to fight this harm, which causes nausea and vomiting.
Side Effects Due to Overdosing
As already mentioned, there are no harmful effects from cannabis oil- even when seriously overdosing. However, when you are not used to cannabis and, in the beginning, take too much or ramp up the dosing too fast, you can encounter some unpleasant side effects:
- Anxiety
- Passing out
- Hyperventilation
- Having an intense ‘high’
Although these effects are not harmful to your health, they can give you a good scare. The most important thing is to stay calm and sleep or rest until it is over. You can drink and eat something sweet to make you feel better.
The reason for slowly ramping up the THC dosing is to avoid these effects.
However, once your body gets used to cannabis, people only experience a delightful and relaxed feeling.

Hello! I’ve been using RSO topically on a rare skin cancer on my genital and anal area and it is very inflamed. Is that a side effect of using the RSO?
Hi Gail, I haven’t found any study proving that cannabis oil could cause inflammation. To the contrary, studies show that cannabis inhibits inflammation. It is probably best to consult a medical doctor that is familiar with cannabis. Please keep us updated on your situation.
No one seems to mention the effects of coming off high doses of full extract cannabis oil. Even for receptor resets every so often I find it really difficult, it’s almost like I can’t function without the oil. I have stage 3B ovarian cancer. No other treatment at the moment. Please be sure to taper off high doses before suddenly stopping.
Thank you for your valuable feedback, we will update the content accordingly.
Hello, My husband has Stage 3B bladder cancer, which has gotten thru the bladder wall to a nearby lymph node, so it was urgent to start some treatment right away and we didn’t know about RSO oil then, so he is getting Cisplatin/Gemcitabine chemo.
Question now is:
Is it safe to take the 1 Gram/day RSO ALONG WITH the chemo?
Not too many posts addressing this.
Hi, In fact, there are many people taking cannabis and CBD oil (RSO) along with chemo. Cannabis and CBD oil help, besides fighting cancer with nausea, which is often a side effect of chemo. Of course, there are many opponents of chemo itself like Dr. Peter Glidden, who claims chemo doesn’t work 97% of the time and only destroys vital body systems. With the RSO treatment, it is important to ramp it up slowly so your husband can get used to it. Please follow the ramp-up roadmaps in the article.
Please let us know your husbands progress as many people all over the world will benefit from it.
Hi Fawaz,
I wanted ask about my dad’s lung cancer which has now spread to his adrenal gland. he’s taking 240 mg’s a day which I know is not enough but he’s having trouble doing more than that orally. I was watching the video on Sharon Kelly where she administered it rectally with the up and in method….
Would shooting it up rectally be good to get to the desired dosage?
Thanks
I have Stage IV, Gleason 9 (4+5) Prostate Cancer since 2014 with metastases to my ribs in 2018, and back, plus lymph nodes. In 2017 I was given anywhere from two months to a couple of years to live. In May 2018 was the first metastases and when I began using FECO – I am currently on 1g of 775mg THC and 1g of 700mg CBD per day.
I find that it is too bitter to continually take sublingually, though this is the most efficient route and so I put my oils in capsules and swallow them. I DON’T NEED TO ACCLIMATISE TO THC.
But I’m having a problem. Initially, I went to dealer and bought a carrier bag full of good bud at a discount and made my own oil from it and the results were very good. But I couldn’t buy the same stuff again, so I went elsewhere and I’m using TESTED oils only. The problem is that it isn’t working, or not working as well as it had.
I cannot really afford the 2g of oil that I am doing right now, per day and you mention 4000mg! You’ve also said that suppositories are best. I’m trying to find out how to stop this cancer before it stops me. The suppositories make sense and I have 2g single-use plastic moulds that I got on eBay (expensive!) and I have some ‘Tiana’ Coconut oil. that is out of date, but still unopened. What would my recipe be?
Another question, someone else has told me to take CBD, wait 2 hrs, then take THC, does that make sense to you?
Hi Mike, Thanks for writing. I am surprised that you didn’t need to acclimatize to THC. Many of our community members write us that they have trouble acclimatizing. You must have a strong body system or not the right concentration of THC (is suspect the latter). I am confused with the milligram and gram amounts you mention. The article where you left your comment, does not mention 4000mg THC as far as I know. We recommend (as well as Rick Simpson) 1000mg which is equal to 1 gram of THC per day. But to avoid getting high you need to follow one of the ramp up roadmaps.
What do you mean with: – I am currently on 1g of 775mg THC and 1g of 700mg CBD per day.? Does that mean you have a bottle containing 775mg THC and you take 1 gram of that? How is that possible? 1 gram is 1000 mg which is more then the bottle contains (775mg). In order to take 1000mg of THC you would have to take almost one and a quarter bottle. I am guessing that this is probably why you are not getting high because your dosages are way too low like this.
Maybe the confusion is the following. CBD and THC oils are mixed with carrier oils. So the total weight of the oil in the bottle is a lot more than the amount of THC in there. Plus you cannot know the weight of the oil in the bottle as this is never indicated. However, the volume is.
If you have for example a 1 oz bottle (the volume of this bottle is 1 oz = 30ml) You cannot transfer 1ml to 1 gram because it is not water. Oil is lighter so 1 ml is way less than 1 gram. The right way to calculate your dosage of THC (and equally CBD) is to look at the volume of the bottle.
Let’s say your bottle contains 775mg of THC.
You need to find out the volume of the bottle. Let’s say it is 1 oz or 30ml.
There are 20 drops in 1 ml or 600 drops in a 30ml bottle.
1 drop contains in this case 775:600= 1.25832mg of THC, respectively 4 drops of oil = 5 mg of THC, which is the starting dosage according to the regular 5-week ramp-up table.
I hope this helps. If you have any problems calculating the volume of oil you need to take to get the correct milligram dosage of THC and CBD, let me know the volume of the bottles, the mg amount of THC and CBD or the concentration percentage. I will help you guide through it.
As for suppositories or sublingual or oral intake. The key rule is that both THC and CBD are most effective when they can be brought in contact or at least as close as possible with the cancer.
In your situation with cancer is spread out and sublingual or oral intake is probably the best. But for the prostate cancer of course suppositories would be best, so do that as a side treatment. Do both methods in parallel. The recipe for making suppositories is in the article.
Concerning the split intaking of THC and CBD, it is the first time I hear about that. The many people that have reported to have had good results with THC and CBD treatments usually take them together. THC and CBD both come from the cannabis plant and therefore go together naturally.
Thank you for such a great article! My father has bladder cancer, we know it is bad (stage 3 or 4) and waiting pathology but he has had 3 tumors removed. The doctor said that my dad is too old (next month he turns 87) for chemo and radiation, which we wouldn’t go that route anyway. FYI, dad is in great health except for these tumors, sharp and active.
I don’t understand your math in the sentence above;
“1 drop contains in this case 775:600= 1.25832mg of THC, respectively 4 drops of oil = 5 mg of THC, which is the starting dosage according to the regular 5-week ramp-up table.”
Are you dividing 775/600? If so, I got 1.29166mg. Please let me know if my calculation is wrong.
I am so confused on dosage. I can get 680mg THC for 1 ml of oil. Another company offers 300mg THC for 30ml/1 oz. If one ml is 20 drops then 680/20 = 34mg? is this correct?
Then from the other company, 30ml = 600 drops, 300/600 =0.5mg
I want to make him suppositories using gel 00 capsules. Which I was told the gel capsules will dissolve. The stronger amount has me confused as to how to dilute to get it right. But using the other 0.5mg I would need 10 drops per suppository to get 5mg. But how do I mix this correctly with the cocoa butter? This one comes in a dropper bottle, so would it be OK just to put 10 drops of the THC oil in the capsule without the cocoa butter. Or could I add a little cocoa butter to the capsule after I put the 10 drops in?
One last question, should CBD oil be used also or is the THC oil the best for cancer?
Thank you for all that you do, it is greatly appreciated.
Hi Shelly, Yes. 775/600= 1.291666 mg. 680mg of THC per ml of oil seems really high. Don’t know if such oils exist. Better try the 300mg THC per 30ml oil. If you make gel caps as suppositories, you can put the oil in the capsule without the cocoa butter. For cancer, you need to use both THC oil and CBD oil as described in the article.
I have been making suppositories for my husband that has prostate cancer. The issue that I have faced is that the suppository molds can only hold 2ml and when you get to the higher dosages of THC then you need a way more than 12 suppositories. The typical THC oils strength is 300mg for 30ml which fits into 15 suppository not counting the CBD and coco butter addition. for higher dosages thn 300mg then you need over 20 suppositories and then they will be inserted deeper to do all of them. Can you advise on this please?
Thanks so much
Hi Mona, If you run into this problem and don’t want to go to a more concentrated THC extract, you can still follow the procedure. But instead of inserting 2 suppositories one after the other, allow for the first one to completely dissolve before inserting the 2nd. Give it about 1 hour between the 2.
Hope this helps you and your husband. All the best to him and please share progress, results or questions. Our community appreciates it and people benefit from it.
Hi there, thanks for the article and charts. I have stage 4 peritoneal cancer mets which have developed from initial diagnosis of colon cancer. I have started on the thc oil introduction orally and sublingually. I am interested to hear your opinion about whether or not I should be using suppositories and also if I would benefit from adding cbh oil. I do find the high of thc unpleasnat and take major dose at night so I can sleep through it, though when I wake during the night, I am pretty whacked
Hi Amanda, Thanks for sharing. I understand that you don’t like the high, but it is completely harmless to your body and you probably wouldn’t feel much better with chemo or radiation therapies, which do a lot of harm to your body. But you are doing the right thing to handle it. Well done!
THC (and CBD) needs to be administered as close as possible to the cancer source. Your initial cancer source (colon) is in the lower part of the body, so suppositories would be beneficial, although probably better as a supportive treatment. I would keep the oral ingestion as the main method as this brings the THC directly through the colon. When using suppositories pay attention to the position of the suppository when inserting (lower or upper rectum). Read that section of the article carefully. It is probably better in your case to insert them into the upper rectum, thus deeper, which won’t make a difference for the THC high then.
As you read from the article it is definitely recommended to add CBD oil. Adding CBD oil has several advantages of which the main ones in your case are: Reduces the high to a certain extent. Improves the effectivity of the THC and also mitigates pain, anxiety and stress that most cancer patients are suffering from.
All the best with your further treatment and we would appreciate it if you could share with us further progress and results, so other people can benefit from it too.
Hi all , Hi Fawaz .
My sister is 50 and she have been diagnosed since 3 months ( last 5th august ) with an aggressive Ovarian cancer grade 4 that metastasized to the lungs and liver . After the biopsy the tumor was measured at 9 cm, this cancer has been evaluated as existing not more than 2 to 3 months, it’s why it have been classified aggressive.
My sister started since last 21 September Chemo treatment ( Taxol / Carboplatine ) and to reduce the harmful effects of chemo she also started since last 7th october taking RSO orally , this Oil have been provided by a friend ( 60% CBD / 40 %THC ).
The regular roadmap method have been choosed to avoid psychotic effect ==> actually 30 October she’s taking 600 mg ( 3 dose x 200 mg per day ), next week she’ll take 1g per day still subdivide in 3 dose per day and we’ll hope to reach 2g or 2,5g per day the next 2nd and 3rd weeks to come.
Before the RSO treatment the clinical condition of my sister was catastrophic ==> respiratory problem, abdomen full of water, tachycardia, permanently bedridden, a lot of nausea due to the chemo and a lot of problem to eat, was not eating almost …
Since she started taking RSO on October 7th, she was able to start eating from the 2nd or 3rd day and her appetite grew amazingly and her clinical condition began to improve, today she’s walking and started physical exercises.
The next step is surgery to remove the Ovarian tumor and everything that has been touched by this cancer when possible.
It should be planned soon after the oncology assessment scheduled for next November 26th.
In the meantime she continues her weekly chemo treatment and the RSO administration which I think helps her to support chemo and its catastrophic effects , and also has to make the disease regress I am convinced.
I will keep you informed on a regular basis, in order to help the community to move towards this alternative treatment based on RSO which I think deeply to a growing future and the various testimonies are there to prove it.
I have a question I would like to know what variety of Cannabis medical plant can provide this level of dosage (CBD / THC) in equilibrium and that has no side effect since my sister has never had since it takes .
Indeed my friend could not inform me with certainty, he only indicated without certainty that it could be the “California Indica Feminized” used to make this oil.
Thank you for your response or direction for the science and culture of the community.
Adnan.
Hi Adnan, it is difficult to say which cannabis strains have this blend of CBD/THC. We always recommend to buy the CBD oil (e.g. https://idweeds.net/cbdpure-sb) and Cannabis oil separately, so you can mix them yourself and adjust according to the treatment requirements. Great that your sister is doing so well, despite the chemotherapy. Perhaps until her next scheduled assessment, there is time to reflect on the treatment and her condition. Is it really necessary to continue the chemo and do the surgery? What if the assessment reveals that the tumor has decreased? Do you credit the chemo or the cannabis for that?
Chemo does not only makes the patient feel terrible, but it also inflicts severe and lasting damage to the body and its systems. It is believed that after chemo cancer can come back and metastasize easier.
We wish your sister all the best and hope for a very good assessment on November 26. Please share with us her progress and results, so other people can benefit from it too.
Hi All , Hi Fawaz,
Today my sister received the assessment results and I want to share with the community the following good news:
Lungs metastasis completely disappeared , 2 metastasis on the liver have been reduced, the right ovary tumors have also been reduced from 11cm to 2,3 cm .
I can’t publish the tepscan results picture on the blog but initially ( tepscan made on last 20th September ) we can see that the tumors was extended to about 90% of her abdomen and to the organs, today we can see only 2 metastasis on the live and the ovary tumor that have been consequently reduced and represents 5% abdomen surface.
It’s incredible , the oncologist have observed only one similar case in her carier.
Since my last post we have increased the RSO roadmap :
Oraly : 600 mg ( 3 dose x 200 mg per day ) increased to 1 g ( 3 dose x 340 mg per day )
Suppository : 500 mg per day
Next steps :
3 chemo planned that should be completed on next December 14th, and the surgery will be planned at the end of December to remove residual tumors and organs at risk (ovary, uterus, peritoneum), to avoid any recurrence.
We’ll increase the roadmap to reach progressively the recommended roadmap ( 2/ 2,5 g per day ) till end of December before the surgery if it’s supported by my sister.
Regarding your last question as to whether the clinical improvement is credited to chemotherapy or Cannabis treatment:
I am unequivocal: Appetite, reduction of nausea and anxiety, energy, strengthening of the body’s immunity are the result of Cannabis that has probably opened the cannabinoid receptors system to reinforce all these essentials survival indicators .
But unfortunately I think that Cannabis it is not enough alone, it must be combined with chemotherapy when the disease is at an advanced stage like that of my sister.
And I will say that associated with chemo it reduces the chemo side effects and makes it targeted the eradication of the cancer cells.
This is of course my position and based on scientific publications that I have read and discovered throughout the net.
And I have never found a clinical trial using only Cannabis and its derivatives on humans to treat and cure cancer. I found only clinical trials in-vivo and on laboratory animals.
I am interested by the information if you have (and the community around this blog, too, I think) that shows clinical / therapeutic trials on humans treated only by cannabis to cure from cancer.
Even if there is still some way in the healing of my sister who I hope will come by the grace of God, I hope that my testimony and lived experience will give hope to the community, as he gave me some hope when I started looking for alternative treatments last september and discovered that Cannabis could help effectively, and the results on my sister are there to prove it.
Good luck to all, and see you soon.
Hi Adnan,
Great news! These reductions are so impressive. Thanks for sharing them with our community.
As to the presence or rather absence of clinical trials with only cannabis treatment, you are right. There aren’t any. also that we know of. However, you should bear in mind that the whole pharmaceutical industry, including research, is controlled by money. More than 90% of research is funded by big pharma who only fund research when there is ROI (return of investment) involved. Financing plant-based treatment research is not in their interest because the money isn’t coming back to them.
You are also right that cannabis reduces some side effects of chemotherapy -like nausea etc- but it doesn’t prevent chemo from killing cancer cells and other cells along the way. Chemo does indeed do a good job in killing cancer cells, but the problem is it also kills many healthy cells in the process. This creates irreparable damage to the body and its systems that even cannabis cannot reverse. Besides that, there is increasing evidence that chemotherapy -because it is killing so many healthy cells in the process- provokes metastasis both in terms of time (cancer returns quicker) and force (cancer comes back stronger than before). e.g.: https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2017/chemotherapy-effect-metastasis
So these are things to consider. There are however many real people that have been declared cancer free by their oncologist after cannabis only treatment.
Good luck to your sister, let’s hope the treatment keeps working and completely eliminates all her cancer, and that the chemo does not do too much damage. Please keep us posted. It is very valuable for the community.
Hi Adnan,
I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your sister’s story! I know it’s been awhile since you posted an update, but I truly hope that your sister was able to continue her path of healing.
Best wishes,
Kristi
Hi! My mom is 86 and recently found out she has cancer. She has four masses in her liver, nodules in her lungs and also has spread to her lymph nodes. She was given approximately 6 months to live. She’s opting not to have any treatment but we would like to get started with the THC/CBD treatment. Should she start on the “URGENT ROADMAP” treatment and would the “SUPPOSITORIES” be the way to go? I’m also confused on the dosage, making the suppositories…pretty much all of it!
She lives in California..where can we buy the THC oil and CBD oil? Which oils do you recommend? How much should I buy for a 90 day dosage? Sorry for all the questions but I’m confused. Could you please explain it as simple as possible to me and thank you in advanced for your help. @jeroen
Hi Cheryl, Such difficult decisions the family should make. But I can point out the pros and cons and my personal opinion. The urgent treatment inevitably causes severe cognitively impairing side effects, possibly panic attacks, paranoia, anxiety etc. It is meant for those that have otherwise only a few weeks to live and the regular roadmap is too long. Although a cannabis ‘high’ does not cause any physical harm, it can scare people to the point they reject also this treatment and also give up on this last hope.
The regular roadmap is designed to avoid strong cognitively impairing ‘highs’, although it is on the borderline and some people still get high. But strong will to survive usually helps people through this. Chemo and radtiation are also no fun but opposed to cannabis leave devastating damage to the body’s systems. Therefore if she has been given half a year to live she has time to do the regular treatment I would say. You have to take into account that the cannabis will start working as soon as she starts taking it. Look up Corry Yelland’s story on the internet. She didn’t have the means to ramp up to 1000 mg and she took far less. To compensate she continued taking cannabis for 1 year and was cancer-free after that.
Cannabis should be administered as close as possible to the cancer sources. In your mom’s case the upper body. Therefore sublingual intake, and possibly some vaping as additional side treatment later on when she got used to the cannabis, would be most effective. With suppositories, you have the risk that the cannabis bypasses the liver if you don’t insert them correctly. (see article).
THC oil you can get from your local dispensary (not sold online in US) and CBD oil we recommend https://idweeds.net/cbd-oil-for-sale/.
For the 90 day treatment, you need approximately 60 grams (60,000 mgs) of THC oil. CBD oil she needs to take 100-300 mg daily (depending on her pain and impairing symptoms from the THC; CBD reduces pain and impairing symptoms). So for 90 days you’ll need (9,000mg – 27,000mg CBD)
Hope this helps you and please share your mom’s progress, how she is coping with the regular roadmap and hopefully good results. It will be beneficial for a lot of people all over the world. If you have any additional questions, or you want me to explain the suppository ingredient anyway, just write us another comment.
Sorry but I can’t work out that chart at all? I have 2 ml of thc in syringe, I’m using 00 capsules and coconut oil for mixing it. If I’m starting a treatment what way do I mix it? Do I just use 21 g coconut oil with 1 ml of thc?
Hi Colm, We have many charts in the article. Which chart are you referring to? We understand you want to put the THC oil and the CBD oil in capsules for oral intake? Are you planning on doing the treatment according to the regular roadmap with a 5-week ramp-up period? Why would you need coconut oil for that? Or are you making suppositories? Could you please clarify and we will try to explain it better.
Concerning your references to THC milliliters, it is important to know that all dosage indications are in milligrams. For THC 1 ml is NOT equal to 1 mg. So you need to find out how much THC in MilliGram is in 1 ml or in the total 2 ml syringe and base your calculations on milligrams THC.
I have an undiagnosed brain tumor in an area that can’t be biopsed without doing damage. It has not grown since the first MRI. They are just watching it. I would like to watch it disappear. What would you recommend?
Hi Joann, One way of looking at this is that you might be lucky despite your condition. Watching it doesn’t make things worse (other than the tumor keeps growing). Chemo and radiation often do. This also gives you the best scenario for doing the 90-day treatment from the article, following the regular roadmap. Most people only start this treatment after chemo which means besides curing the tumor the cannabis treatment also needs to undo the damage of the chemotherapy as much as possible.
Please share with us your progress and results as other people will benefit from it too.
I am trying yo figure out what I will need for a total 90 day treatment with suppositories. If my math is correct, I will need 70 grams for days 21 through 90. Not 60 grams total, but rounded off about 74 grams for the total treatment day 1 though 90. Am I correct?
Hi Benson, You are right. It is roughly 60 grams (62) with a 5-week ramp-up. But with a 3-week ramp-up, it is indeed about 74 grams. For clarity purposes, I have also added the 5-week ramp-up table to the post. Thanks for your input, and please keep us posted on your progress.
I have stage 4 prostrate cancer that has metastasized. I’m going to start dosing with THC oil. Should I start with the urgent 30 schedule or do the 90 day schedule ? Is there any better with the long term schedule vs the urgent ? Thank you for any information.
Hi Benson, There is a big difference between the two treatments. Namely the unpleasant (to say the least) side effects of THC, getting too high. People only use the 30-day schedule when their doctors have told them they haven’t got a couple of months to live. The 90-day treatment is already tough for a lot of people, in terms of having to deal with getting high, but more or less manageable. If done correctly most people can avoid getting too high. However, the 30-day treatment is way too short to avoid getting too high. People that do this treatment will have to deal with major panic attacks etc. Although it is not harmful to the body or your health, it does prove to be too much for some people. If you still have the time, go for the 90-day treatment. The most important thing is the total amount of cannabis you take. There are examples of people taking way less than the 1000 mg THC per day but taking it for a longer period. Corrie Yelland is such an example who stretched her treatment to one year with lower dosages.
Suppositories would be recommended in your case, because it is the closest point of contact between cannabis and cancer. Depending on where to the cancer has metastasized, you could also do partly sublingual and partly rectal (like 50/50, depending on the amount of metastization).
Please keep up posted on your progress and results. Other people all over the world will benefit from it too.
Currently under going chemo for ovarian cancer. Treatment includes anti cancer drugs and steroids, 1 dose of steroids every 3 weeks. Saw brief mention that RSO can cause heightened negative side effects with steroids, but no meaningful data. Is it ok to start RSO oral/suppositories while undergoing traditional treatment? What would be expected side effects?
Hi, The RSO treatment can have interactions with other medications. It is best to ask your treating doctor or consult with a doctor prescribing medical cannabis.
Hi, My sister has ovarian clear cell cancer which has spread to her bowel and liver. We want to get her started on a THC/CBD blend. Any info on dosage and ratios as well as optimal delivery methods would be very welcome. Thanks
Hi Kevin, She could best follow the standard dosage roadmap from the article with regards to the THC dosage. As far as CBD dosage goes, CBD helps to counteract some of the impairing effects of THC and it helps with pain and nausea. Therefore the CBD dosage should be based on these symptoms. It generally ranges from 100 mg to 1000 mg per day. Whereby 100 is a low dosage for cancer and 1000 a high dosage (1:1 THC/CBD) but (other than for the costs) probably optimal for people that are sensitive to the THC high and that have a lot of pain.
Concerning the delivery method(s) it is important to bring the cannabis as close as possible to the cancer sources (more effective). In your sisters’ case, this means vaginal suppositories, sublingual/oral intake methods. With sublingual consumption, part is absorbed under the tongue directly into the bloodstream and part goes through the GI tract. She could do a 50/50 treatment, meaning half the dosage sublingual and half vaginal suppositories. Instructions on suppositories can also be found in the article.
Good luck with the treatment and please keep us posted on her progress and results because other people all over the world will benefit from it too.
Hello
Ive just completed a chemotherapy treatment for Stage 4 prostate cancer.
My PSA level is around 12 from about 500 previously and I am on hormone treatment to reduce the amount of testosterone that my body produces.
THC oil is not available legally in the UK where I live.Will the hemp oil 600 be beneficial for me and what dosage should I take?
Also do you ship to the UK?
Thanks
Hi Roberto, The CBDPure 600 hemp oil -or any other good full-spectrum hemp oil- will be beneficial for you to a certain extent. However, CBD does NOT kill cancer cells, unlike THC. But it has a range of other health benefits. Especially when taken consistently and with high enough dosage levels it works on restoring balances in several vital body systems. For example, it works to naturally restore the balance of testosterone levels. But CBD works very broadly, so it will reduce your pain, fight inflammation, boost your energy level, improve your mood and spirit etc.. CBD stimulates the bodies own healing mechanisms. After chemo, a lot of processes in your body are disturbed and CBD will help to restore your body faster and better (natural detoxification). CBDPure does indeed ship to the UK. (https://idweeds.net/cbdpure-600mg)
In your situation, a dosage level of 80 to 100 mg per day would be recommended. Probably best to start with 100 and see what it does for you. Both from the perspective of how you feel and from the testosterone levels that can be measured, you should see improvement.
Please let us know how it goes and if and what benefits you have from the CBD oil, so other people all over the world can benefit from it too.
My question is how muchTHC do you need from the RSO oil per day?
Hi Carol, What is the condition that you are treating? If it is cancer (all forms) please follow the dosage guideline from the article. https://idweeds.net/cannabis-oil-dosage/#Regular_Cannabis_oil_dosing_roadmap
Please keep us informed about your treatment and results, so other people all over the world could benefit from it too.
my dad has stage 4 prostate cancer… just a few months(2-5) to survive… im not sure about the dosing… im trying to absorb all this info in but im trying to do the suppositories… i need the roadmap broke down in dumb terms… to get to the desired dosing… but i need to keep in mind that hes willing to try but hes never done this before… please help me…!!!
Hi Daniel, Suppositories are a good option in case of prostate cancer because it is the closest to the cancer source you can administer the cannabis.
1) To avoid getting high he needs to insert the suppositories in the lower rectum. This means not too deep. So he cannot insert two suppositories one after the other, because the first one will go too deep, causing a high.
2) Therefore you need to have suppositories with the exact dosage level.
3) He needs to take suppositories 3 times a day.
4) Every 4 days the dosage needs to be increased.
5) Therefore you need 12 suppositories with the same dosage of THC.
6) Each batch of 12 suppositories is made of 30 grams (1/8th cup) of organic cocoa butter or shay butter. This is the basis of the suppositories, which remains unchanged no matter which dosage level.
7) To a batch of 12 suppositories add at least 400 mg of CBD. This is 100 mg per day. Some people increase this to 200 or even 300 mg per day to further avoid getting high. For 12 suppositories this would be 800 mg and 1200 mg of CBD respectively.
7.1.) The amount of CBD needs to be chosen once and then stays the same for all suppositories
8) THC needs to be added as well, but it is the only ingredient that needs to be ramped up. To the first 12 suppositories add 120 mg THC.
9) To the second batch of 12 suppositories add 250 mg THC
10) To the third batch of 12 suppositories add 500 mg THC
11) To the fourth batch of 12 suppositories add 1000 mg THC
12) To the fifth batch of 12 suppositories add 2000 mg THC
13) To the last 17 batches of 12 suppositories add 4000 mg THC per 12 suppositories.
It is difficult to explain. I hope it makes more sense like this. Please keep us informed on how your dads’ treatment is going and how he handles the THC. It would also be great if you could share with us the progress and results of his treatment as people all over the world would benefit from it.
I have non-Hodgkins lymphoma and am currently undergoing chemo. I have been vaping 2.8mg THC with less than .1mg CBD 2 inhilations per day for cancer treatment (not having any side effects yet) but after reading this page, I realize it’s not enough to kill the cancer cells. Since I need such a high dose for cancer treatment, I would have to vape all day long to get to 1g per day so do you suggest an easier method of reaching the recommended dose? Secondly, I understand the most effective cancer treatment is for the cannabis oil to be close to the cancer source. Does vaping go directly into the blood stream or do I need some other usage method?
Hi, You are mostly right with your conclusions. Vaping is not the optimal way of treating cancer. Even with, for example, lung cancer it is recommended to do the cannabis/CBD oil treatment but additionally vape (small amounts) as a supportive treatment. The treatment described in the article is based on patient experiences that have used it as a stand-alone treatment, either instead of chemo or after chemo wasn’t able to get rid of the cancer. For non-Hodgkins lymphoma, the sublingual usage method as described in the article would be the best. All the best with your treatment.
Please keep us posted on your progress and results, as other people all over the world will benefit from it too.
Hello Fawaz and all
I live in San Clemente California. I am new to all the resources and would like a recommendation to a source for organic, lab tested combination of CBD and THC. My pup has lymphoma and he is on a good CBD but we need THC combination. I see you recommend staying in your state if Cannabis is legal and we are. I know there are lots of resources but I don’t know my way around and unsure of organic lab tested quality. Note, if you don’t have a suggestion for a local then Canada or another resource is fine as well.
This site is awesome, you folks who share are awesome and as a new member of idweeds, thank you Fawaz, for creating such an important lifesaving and organized site.
Hi Claudia,
Living in California, the best thing to do is go to a local legal medical cannabis dispensary. The quality of both products and service is at the highest level in all legal dispensaries. For example: https://www.leafly.com/finder/san-clemente-ca (tick medical in the filter menu)
Hope this helps you and please share the progress your puppy is making. We are looking forward to good results.
Thanks Fawaz, I am too. Will do.
Fawaz, I found a dispensary. Now, what ratio would you recommend of THC to CBD for a 44 pound dog with lymphoma.? Do you know any vet or person who is successfully treating their dog with THC ratio? I would love to get a handle on it.
Seems like from what I am reading it is 1:1
Hi Claudia,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. A specific case like this we haven’t had so far, but here are some common sense thoughts on how you could possibly handle it.
A 1:1 ratio is fine. The important thing is to not get your dog too high. Although not harmful it can be unpleasant.
Therefore, make sure you ease him in on the treatment using the roadmap as a guide. Humans ideally have to ramp up to 1,000 mg (1 gram) of THC per day. With your dog being roughly one-quarter of the weight of an average human, this would mean you’ll have to ramp up to 250 mg THC per day (with 1:1 he will get also 250 mg CBD per day).
So if you take the regular ramp-up table and divide each dosage level by 4 you’ll have a tailor-made roadmap for your dog. It is best to divide the daily dosage into 3 takings and probably less during the two daily consumptions and more at night, so your dog can sleep it off. Monitor your dog and freeze the dosage level if it becomes to much for him. There is no absolute necessity to reach the highest dosage level. If you have reached half and you find it almost impossible to raise it further because he can’t handle it, it is fine as well. Consequently, you’ll have to continue longer. How long is difficult to say, but a scan at the vets can tell you if the cancer is shrinking or no longer present.
Again, thank you for sharing. We appreciate that Claudia. Sharing is caring. We and the iDWeeds community are eager to hear about your dogs progress. All the best.
Thank you!!! Very grateful for your advice. Here we go. In studying your site, I viewed Corrie Yelland’s story. Our concern is getting QUINCY high. Corrie had the same issue and couldn’t get to the dosage target until she and her husband came up with syringing the dosage like a suppository. They call it the Backdoor method. She could take more and not get psychoactive. They mixed cannabis oil with coconut oil. I think this is might be the best way to roll. I would recommend everyone taking a look. Valuable. Thanks for pulling all this info together. And thank you Corrie for your video.
Quick correction. Back door method is from Sharon Kelly and her husband
Hi guys I need some help please.
I am busy making up the following recipe for the first 30 g dose for days 1-4.
1.Do I always use the same 30g cocoa butter for each 12 suppositories regardless of the dosage ?So is it the same for 30,60,120 dosage ramp up?
2.are the Thc and cbd ingredients for 30g for one day or for 4 days .so If I look at the thc input are the 4g input for 1 days 30g dosage or for 4 days .So I’ve worked out that 30 g dosage needs 0.120 ml of thc so is this for 1 days dosage and therefore for four days it’s 0.480ml.
Same question for Cbd ??
Thanks guys
Cannabis Suppository Ingredients
The following ingredients you will need (based on the regular dosage of 1 gram cannabis oil per
Hi Colin, Your question is about the first 4 days where you have to take 30 MILLIGRAMS of THC per day, correct?
1) Yes, The cocoa butter is the basis or the ‘body’ of the suppositories. The 30 grams of cocoa butter stays the same for all dosage levels during the ramp-up. This is how much cocoa butter you need to make 12 suppositories.
2) Yes, 30 gram of cocoa butter and the other ingredients are for 4 days or 12 suppositories. But the list of ingredients is for the highest dosage of THC after ramping up. (4 gram THC for 4 days = 1 gram of THC per day) For ramping up you only need to reduce the THC quantity according to the ramp-up table. So, for day 1-4 you need 120-125 mg of THC instead of 4 gram. If the concentration of your THC oil is 30 MILLIGRAM = 0.120 ml, then you are right that you need 0.480 ml for 4 days. But just round it up to 0,5 ml.
3) CBD you don’t need to ramp up and you can experiment with the quantity, taking into account that CBD counteracts some of the impairing effects of THC (if you have any with suppositories). It also mitigates pain. 300 mg CBD is for 4 days (you can increase to 100 or 200, or 300 or 400 mg per day depending on the symptoms mentioned).
Hope this clarifies it. Please keep us posted on your progress and results
Great thanks for clarifying.
Only thing I do not know is concentration of the thc oil I am using .It is RSO oil and is pretty strong after a couple of drops under the tongue.Can you suggest based on the supposed strength of RSO whether I shoul be adjusting the 4g up or down.
Thanks guys 😄
Hi Colin, If you have the original Rick Simpson Oil from Phoenix Tears in Canada, 1 gram of THC equals 1 milliliter of the oil. All the best and don’t forget to get back with some updates and hopefully good results.
Hi guys just had 1st session of rchop chemo on Monday with 5 days of prednisone steroids to follow to treat lymphoma nhl cancer.I am not sure when I shoukd start suppository program (thc and cbd)due to reports I have read about thc and prednisone not mixing well .As a precaution I am planning to wait until steroids dosage completed.Can anyone advise or suggest based on personal experience.Thanks a million .
Hi Colin, Thanks for the update. Hope you are feeling well after the Chemo. Since you only have 5 days of prednisone, it is indeed better to start the suppository program afterward. Did you read our article on cancer and chemo as well? (https://idweeds.net/cbd-cannabis-cancer-treatment/).
The cannabis treatment program was developed from the perspective of a stand-alone uninterrupted treatment of three months. How long before you have the 2nd chemo session? Are you planning on doing the chemo while continuing the cannabis suppository program?
Hi guys
Yes I am complimenting my chemo with the RSO suppository program.(thc and cbd)
I have 1 session of chemo every 3 weeks for 6 sessions so will be complete in 18 weeks .Leading up to my first treatment I have been taking thc oil and cbd oil sublingually just to get my body used to them.Once my steroids are completed tomorrow I intend starting the suppository program replacing the need to take sublingually .I welcome any suggestions to my plan .I am treating lymphoma nhl B cell cancer.
Thanks Colin, for keeping us posted on your treatment. All the best with the start of the suppository treatment and please let us know how it goes, if you can avoid getting high and how you are feeling.
My husband has tumours in his bladder we live in England and need to buy t h c can any one tell me where I can buy it from thank you
Hi Jan, The British government announced end of June it would move to lift its ban on cannabis-based medicines. So ask your doctor is all we can say.
Jan where in England are you ?
I have carcinoma in situ my bladder have had to treatments of BCG looks like they got it all . I am 65 and have been a pot smoker a long time. this cancer has to be maintained so what would be a good way and what ratio should I take of the cbd and thc. thanks for your help
Hi Stephen, Usually people that have had successful cancer treatment and have been declared cancer-free, do a 90-day quarter dosage of the standard THC treatment. So instead of ramping up to the 1000mg a day they ramp-up to 250mg a day. The ramp-up period you can keep at three weeks. The amount of CBD you can keep at the level of 100mg per day, as it works preventively restoring your homeostasis after the treatment. After that, you can go to a 30mg CBD / 30mg THC daily maintenance dosage. Most people take that for the rest of their life.
Oh sorry. My husband is taking the couch for his stage three copd.
I have a question. I am giving my husband a cannabis tincture that I made (frozen everclear extraction. It was one oz of cannabis and a Fifth if everclear. I evaporated to half the volume. It is like a miracle how it has worked for him but I’d like to know for future reference about how much thc he is getting if he takes .50ml three times a day. Thanks so much for your help
Hi, sorry for taking so long. It is a difficult question and in order to come to this answer, we had to make some assumptions.
1) Let’s assume the bud you used is 20% THC (sounds like it’s pretty potent based of the way you describe its performance)
2) We found sources stating that it appears that some THC is lost, based on “Estimated THC extraction efficiency”. Let’s use the 80% they mentioned
You used 1oz
1oz = 28g
28g = 28,000mg
Let’s assume the bud you used is 20% THC
28,000 x 0.2 = 5,600
This means that out of the 28,000mg of bud, 5,600mg is pure THC
“a Fifth” is Everclear, which apparently means 750ml in alcohol terms (thank you, Urban Dictionary)
You say you evaporated half, so that leaves us with 375ml
5,600mg/375 = 14.9mg per 1ml
If the THC extraction efficiency is 80%, then 14.9 x 0.8 = 11.9mg per 1ml
Half of that would be roughly 6mg
So every drop you give him contains 6mg of THC, based on the 20% THC content we threw in above.
In order to give you a more accurate answer, we need to know the THC percentage of the strain. After that, you can use this formula to crunch the numbers. It is also possible that some THC destruction could occur during the evaporation process, which we did not include in the calculation.
Hope this helps, and please keep us posted on how your husband is doing. It seems he is benefitting from the treatment. When you share the progress and results with us, thousands of other people all over the world could benefit from it too.
Hi, my dad has stage 3 gallbladder cancer which is also attached to the tubes outside it. Should he use suppositories or should he take it orally? Thanks
Hi Jodie, The closer you can bring cannabis to the cancer source (or other condition), the more effective it is. Suppositories are therefore most effective with Cancers affecting the rectum or vagina. For your dad, it seems that oral intake would be better as the cannabis will (partly) go through the GI tract involving the gallbladder. You could also consider a combination of both though.
Hope it works out for your dad, and please keep us posted on his progress and results, as people all over the world will benefit from it. Thanks.
Hi..Need guidance please! One year ago i was diagnosed with Ovarian stage 3. Given 6 months to live. 9 chemo treatments (platinum based) two major surgeries then 7 more chemo treatments, the chemo worked. I was told i am NDE or no disease evident about 4 months ago. I was given a small can of CBD suave to rub on my abdomen by a friend. I used it but not consistently
i want to use CBD or cannabis oil to prevent any re occurrence. I am very confused as to the type, quality, and quantity to use .I live in Arizona and not sure if this must be prescribed by a Dr. or something i can get myself.
Any information on this would be greatly appreciated Please note am no longer under the care of my oncologist and am on a “watch” list.
Thank you so much for your time and consideration
Hi, good that you are cancer free now and have survived the heavy chemo treatments. What people have taken in your situation (being cancer free) to avoid reoccurrence, is a quarter of the amount of the full cancer treatment as outlined in the article. This means you do a 90-day treatment course but with 250 mg a day of cannabis oil instead of the 1000 mg a day from the article. The quantity of CBD oil -which you need to take parallel to the THC oil- we recommend keeping high at 100 mg a day for this period. The cannabis oil needs to be ramped up according to the roadmap in the article and stop at the 250 mg level. You can ramp up slower to avoid the highs in the beginning, since the end amount is lower.
After that treatment, it is recommended to continue with a maintenance dosage for the rest of your life. The THC oil can be reduced to about 30 mg a day and the CBD oil to about 25 mg a day. They can be taken together at the same time, but it is best to divide the daily amount into two or three takings.
In Arizona, cannabis is legal for medicinal purposes but not for recreational use. So, you will have to get a medical marijuana card.
All the best with your preventive after treatment, and please share with us your progress as people from all over the world benefit from it.
Thank you so very much! Will update as i progress!
Hi. I’ve started on cannabis suppositories for copd. I’m using 2 per day. Is this the correct dosage?
Hi, before giving you a recommendation on the dosage, I would like to ask you, Why are you taking suppositories? Cannabinoids like THC and CBD are most effective when you can bring them as close as possible to the source of the disease. In your case your lungs. The best intake method in your case would, therefore, be vaping. This brings the cannabinoids in direct contact with your COPD. It will help you breathe easier and you have to take less CBD/THC because it is more effective for COPD. Suppositories are most effective in diseases affecting the lower part of the body, like anal or vaginal cancer.
Concerning the dosage, there is very little anecdotal experience with COPD. If you are living in a state allowing THC, take a combination of CBD and THC. The dosage level mainly depends on the severity of the disease. But especially with vaping it is very easy to find your dosage level by trial and error. You cannot overdose CBD and also THC is non-toxic to your body, however, it is psychoactive so you need to slowly build up THC dosage levels. Start with vaping 40 or 50 mg CBD and (if allowed in your state) the same amount of THC. Monitor your symptoms for a day or four and increase with 10 mg increments, until you reach the desired results.
Especially because there is very little data on dosage for COPD, we would like to ask you to share your progress and results with us. This way other people all over the world can benefit from it too. Sharing is caring…
Hi. My sister has Secondary breast cancer and has spread to other areas of the body. How best can she take the oil 2) How does she use it as capsule.
Hi, follow the dosage recommendations and the ramp-up roadmap in the article. After a 3 to 5 week ramp-up, your sister needs to reach 1000 mg of THC and at least 100 mg of CBD a day. Both CBD oil and THC oil are available in capsules. THC capsules you can get at your local dispensary and CBD capsules you can order following this link: https://idweeds.net/cbdpure-softgels-750mg. Hope it works out for your sister and please share with us the results so other people all over the world can benefit from it too.
What do you recommend for stage 4 breast cancer with Mets to bone? Just started taking CBD oil but want to add the cannabus oil. I am new to this so any advise you can provide will be helpful. I live in Indiana…..
Hi, As you have read in the article, CBD alone does not cure cancer. I understand that it is difficult to get THC-oil in Indiana, but following the dosing roadmap as outlined in our article, is probably the best chance for curing your breast cancer. There are quite some people that have either moved to a different State because of this or visited family or friends for a couple of months in another State in order to be able to do the outlined treatment. You wouldn’t be the first one that walks away from this after the treatment is finished. So, do what you can to do the treatment, following the indications in the article. We greatly would appreciate it if you would keep us informed on the progress of your treatment and the results. Just post it here and others can benefit from it too. Thanks!
Hello! Thanks for your work.
I’m not understanding what these numbers mean, the way you have it laid out… Would you be able to explain what this is saying about dosages?
Regular
10.42
mg / dosing
31.25
Also do you know any research that says done types of cancer are made worse with thc? I need to know for my dad. Any help you can offer will be much appreciated. Thank you
Hi Liza, The regular dosing roadmap shows the amount of THC in milligrams that needs to be taken. 10.42 is the amount of milligrams per dosage. Three dosages per day amount to 31.25 milligram for the first 4 days of the treatment. These are approximate numbers. The goal is to reach 1000 milligram per day after three to five weeks.
We do NOT know of any research done proving that THC has made cancer worse. Never in the history of medical science has there ever been a case of death recorded due to cannabis use. Please let us know how it works out for your dad, so other people around the world can benefit from it too.
Hi, Have stage 4 cancer, throat, spine, etc. Want to try your 50/50 treatment (theca/cbd). Now take 20 mg cbd tea. See your CBDPure 600 but not sure about which thc oil to get. Please advise. Also can you ship it to California?
Hi Greg,
Concerning the THC oil, you should go to a local dispensary in California and ask for indica dominant THC oil. We recommend the following vaporizer: https://idweeds.net/hazevaporizers. CBDPure 600 is shipped to California so you can start right away.
Just be aware you need at least 100 mg of CBD per day for cancer treatment. Therefore you’ll save money if you get the 6 month supply, which in your case will last about 1.5 months: https://idweeds.net/cbdpure-600mg.
can you recommend best cannabis (THC) oil please. Have Cbd oil already. thanks greg
As said before, ask for an indica dominant cannabis oil which usually comes in syringes. You will need a lot of it (60 grams) so try to get a good price.
