420/chronic illness query...
Tips on making cannabis more palatable? I cannot smoke it, but have access to butter. I’m trying to use it for pain(fibromyalgia) but I have a stomach disorder that causes so much nausea(gastroparesis). Brownies are NASTY. And it’s hard to get down enough to work. Suggestions?!

I mostly want to use it a few times a week for sleep. I’m on sleep meds, but at times I still only get a few hours. Once it’s been a week of that, big flare. My problem with the cannabis is that I’m usually nauseated, almost always, and the smell/taste makes me gag.
I might not be able to use it, til tinctures are legal here. I’m hoping though!
I used to make firecrackers. You mix decarbed plant material in peanut butter, put it between graham crackers, and bake it. They taste like ass, to most, but I turned mine into peanut butter smores by using a 3rd cracker with chocolate and marshmallows. I sold a batch years ago to a friend and they said everyone was raving about how good they were.
The only other forum I use is Grasscity.com. You can find a lot of good information on there as well. A user named StormCrow (I think) makes a ton of in depth posts about edibles and recipes for specific conditions and effects.

Thank you!
Cannabis may have good uses. I have a stomach disorder that my doctors want to ignore, and I also have neuropathy in my feet. The foot tingling has been helped with malic acid capsules and I am fixing once again to ingest DMSO at a teaspoon a day. I am thinking of taking the DMSO and cannabis oil together if need be.
It may be radical but I once had a boss who could not walk due to hip problems. He took injections of DMSO and lydacaine and did fine for at least 90 days. In my case I have trouble walking unless I am in my New Balance shoes with diabetic inserts. I do not want to inject anything but pharma grade DMSO will not hurt you. As far as I know doctors have only approved it for one certain type of kidney problem.
Google all things before trying them.

I will: I hadn’t heard of the DMSO. My problem with cannabis is: I’m so nauseated already, most times, and the smell of it just exacerbates it. Maybe it will be legal here soon and I can find an easier form to ingest.
I haven't done this, but I believe youtube has tips on making it more concentrated. Probably quality in = quality out also.
