COMPOUND TINCTURE OF CANNABIS (1910)
Lupulin
(Hops resin).......... 3 parts
Valerian
Root....................... 3 parts
Cannabis
"shake"................2 parts
Tincture
1:4 in 65% alcohol.
When
finished, add enough fresh Pulsatilla Tincture to bring final strength
to a
1:5
potency. A narcotic-analgesic, especially for referred visceral pain. Dose
15-
45
drops as needed. Cannabis is, of course, completely illegal to possess
in ANY
form.
With the increased use by authorities of property confiscation, wherein
THEY
keep YOUR stuff even if you never get to court or are even charged with
possession
(and pigs will fly before they ever give it back to you, since local
police
get to keep most of the money they raise from auctioning it off), having
this
plant is rather riskier at present. (Did I miss something when I learned
about
the
Constitution in Civic's Class??)
Those
of you having a relationship to Cannabis dating from the Old
Days,
with fond memories of youth, more hair, lower gravitational pull and Tie-
Dye
teeshirts should especially bear this in mind. Those involved in the drug
business,
both those that deal and those that chase, are MUCH wierder. And
what
cost $10 20 years ago now costs $100-$200 (and the lid is STILL short).
Myself,
I have this rather strange attitude towards Cannabis. It's just another
goddamm
plant medicine, and I REFUSE to take it all that seriously.
