Need some help... nebulizer?
Posted: Fri Jan 27, 2006 7:10 am
My girl and I have a bit of a conundrum.
In the last several months, her asthma's been acting up like mad crazy. Which has put a definite hitch in our usual lifestyle.
Basically, she just can't smoke anymore. I know some people with asthma can smoke until they're old and grey and never have any problems, but that just isn't our luck. She can't stand eating it (which is too bad because I LOVE baking) and vaporizers are hella expensive and way out of our budget - and homemade vapos aren't as reliable. I just don't totally trust a test tube or lightbulb to absorb enough heat that the bud absolutely won't burn.
What keeps running around in my head, though, is to somehow make use of her nebulizer. For the unaware in our ranks, a nebulizer is this nifty little device that uses air compression to turn a liquid medicine into a fine, inhalable mist. Anyway, I think you can see where I'm going with this... I just don't have a clue as to the HOW of it all. I've considered a tincture, but inhaling a mist of any alcohol can lead to all sorts of unwanted side effects. THC isn't water soluble, so making (essentially) a tea doesn't seem to be the way to go. Would heating the tincture to make bhang, for instance, be effective enough in burning off the alcohol without losing the good stuff from the bud?
Any ideas? Advice? Suggestions? Past successes? We've been sober just way too long... Help!
