From other MMJ patients. We have also gotten about 3/4 of a lb of bud donated total to make more oil. We will get Tim enough oil.

His wife told me last night that the oil has brought back his appetite. Apparently it gives him a severe case of the munchies, which is awesome because he has had a very hard time with appetite. He needs to eat to be strong enough to fight so the oil can work it's magic. He is also sleeping very soundly, which is also important to allow his system to fight the disease.

Since being diagnosed their life has been pure hell. They have had to move 4 times since his diagnosis. They have fallen through every possible crack when it comes to social services, and have dealt with uncaring doctors and an indifferent medical system.

They don't need a lot, but they need nutritious natural food for Tim, gas for the car, electricity for their trailer house and other basic stuff like that. They don't need a lot, just enough so they can concentrate on Tim's treatment without constant stress and worry about getting through the next week. It is like a dark cloud that has been hanging over them for a while now.

We will get Tim enough oil until he and Nelda can produce their own. The landlord who is allowing them to live rent free has agreed to let them grow in a shed behind their trailer house. My co-op partners and I will build them a basic grow room for this purpose.
