they have a cannabis blog with current strains and ratios.

medical use is legal in my state. i am unable to smoke or vape it or even injest it - i use a salve i make the old traditional way my grandmother taught me. i fill a quart jar half full of the plant material (everything, buds, stems, leaves, etc) into a jar, then fill it with olive oil or 1/2 olive and 1/2 avocado oil. cap tightly and let sit for 3-4 full moons. shake and invert jar every few days during this time.

then, strain into 1/2 pint jars. refrigerate one jar, freeze the rest.

for use/ to apply: use a clean spoon to remove a tablespoon of the oil or less onto the affected areas. if you do not like the smell, some suggest adding a couple drops of mint oil or other pleasant oil to the jar.

you can wrap or cover the affected area with cotton or gauze while sleeping. there is not much of a problem with staining on clothing or bedding from the oil - it does come out in the wash if the material is cotton or denim.

you can save the "plant material" in the fridge in a tight container if you wish to use it in cooking. just grind it as finely as you can or remove stems and leaves before eating.
