My grandmother has cancer and no appetite

I was raised by my grandmother and shes the love of my life. We've had various cancer issues in my family over the years and now she has it as well, at 80yrs old, in her stomach area, not IN but out and its surrounding it. I watched her drop 40lbs in the past year or so and while pushing her to go to the docs, she declined and said she'd be fine. We're all the same in our family, hardheaded and wont listen to anyone but ourselves, which ends up killing us early....She had a procedure to remove a section of her intestine, which had a blockage in it and kept her from eating correctly (basically starving her)


Soooo....


Shes coming to live with me now and I need to be able to get some weight put back on her, shes 4'10 maybe 90lbs....but still has her spunk and ways of life that she always has had, especially her humor thank god....but my concern is her eating habits and weight


What could or would be the best way to get her to eat/smoke some pot so it will accelerate her eating????


Shes open and very understanding to all things that just make sense in general and hates pharmacuticals and especially doctors and hospitals and shes also seem what pot has done for my life in the positive ways


Like all of us has in life, she is my rock, id be a street junkie if it wasnt for her or a thief or just a plain ol piece of shit, trust me......I need to keep her around for as long as the world will let me, I hope she can see my daughter...her GREAT grand daughter grow up to be young lady someday


Any help would be appreciated, thanks GKasssit:

 

to hear that CC. Just sit down with her and have a frank and open conversation, she'll let you know hat she wants. All the best man.

 

I too was raised by my Grandmother. By the sound of it, we have a very similar love and devotion to our Grandmothers. I can totally relate to how you feel about her and wanting to try and return a little of the love and caring she gave you growing up, just as I do for my Grandmother.


I would do like MG said and have an open and frank discussion with her and I would definitely recommend smoking or vaporizing for appetite enhancement. Sometimes a good old fashioned joint is the best way for someone unfamiliar with smoking to partake for the first time. It's simple and she'll only need a toke. So it won't feel like a big deal if you just whip out a nice machine rolled joint. You could even put a filter on it for her. asssit:

 

One thing you need to do is find something she likes with mj in it. If it tastes gritty or bad she is not going to want it.


I would feed her quality food and save the mj treats for desert or a small appetizer BEFORE MEALS TO GET HER GOING.


MRASTROS COOKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aLSO TRY A ICE CREAM TREAT. My stepdad was near death and wouldnt eat anything but ice cream to start his appetite off but once we got him going he starting eating everything else.

I'm sorry to here that. My dad suffered from Parkinson's for a long time and I know mmj would have helped him calm down the tremors but back then I wasn't growing or even into it. I'd think a nice fruity herb like blue dream might be something that isn't too harsh. Roll a splif and let her toke it. Old ladies that grew up around everyone smoking (cigarettes) are pretty tough. She should be able to handle a joint. Thoughts and prayers out to her.

 

Sucks to hear it man, If it were me i would use an indica that give munchiees... If she can smoke it better...


Maybe 1 hit of your shit...and then see what happens...maybe in a few days up the dose to 2 hits...vaps..

 

Edibles are great, but can be extremely potent for a first timer. If you go that route, be very careful to start with a very small dosage. If she has no appetite though, it ay be hard to convince her that eating something will increase her appetite. I still think for the first timer, there is nothing easier or less intimidating than a good old joint.

 

you need to get her on a a gram a day diet of ingested BHO...

 

Dont you think that would send her to the moon??

to hear that.


About 2 yrs. ago, my Mom had terrible pain that meds. wouldn't help. I got her to 'attempt' to smoke, only to feel guilty. I quickly wipped-up a batch of CC cookies and that did the trick! I asked her if it helped with the pain and she says "I don't remember"


Make her cookies; every woman likes choc.!

 

Im thinking the cookies are the best route to go, shes had a stomach surgery and if she smokes and coughs, its guna kill her belly incision, which is like 10inches long and VERY gnarley lookin!!!


But i appreciate all of the ideas and concerns, thanks for all well wishes and the like.


Ive been listening to her and so far the most enjoyable thing shes eaten has been some good old OATMEAL with a lil bit of sugar and milk, so Im thinking of doing some oatmeal canna cookies, maybe a few raisins just to add some sweetness to them, possibly puree them as well, shes on a soft food diet for a few weeks to months


I dunno we'll see in a few days tho

 

Make some butter and stirr it in her oatmeal.

T knows my cookies will cure what's ailing you

 

indica...munchies and sleep...food and rest is good.


Hope things go well.


Prayers sent.

 

Also, i havent made butter in years......any guides or instructions would be greatly appreciated

 

I'm fucked-up, atm, but I'll share me recipe. !/2 a cookie would be my guess.

 

Trust me on this one Mrastros butter will be good. If she likes and eats the oatmeal do the butter thing. The trick is to give her what she likes to eat and if she likes the oatmeal give her all she wants. Once she starts eating you can try differant things.


Not too many will turn down ice cream. My old Step dad had alteimers and he would scream you scream, I scream we all scream for ice cream.


He fell down outside in the winter and went into thermal shock. He was taken to the hospital and would not eat a single thing. The doctor told us to take him home to die. Two weeks later he was still alive. The doctor told us he couldnt figure out why he was still alive with no calory intake.


Come to find out he was a Sundowner. He would roam the house at night when mom was asleep. He owned a buisness and bought his employees special boxes of chocolates for holidays.


My wife and I happened out on the enclosed deck outside of their living room.


We looked down and here are all these boxes of open chocolates. I called the doctor and he said thats it he is eating the chocolates and the high calorie intake is keeping him alive. After that we tried the ice cream and he went nuts and started eating everything we put in front of him.

I'd start her on Phoenix Tears Oil right away. Aside from killing cancer, it should help with appetite by binding with Cannabinoid receptors in the digestive system.
