instructions back in the 70's for a cannabis arthritis remedy worked so much better on my joints and fibro inflammations.

granny's instructions were to stuff the plant material and the few buds on a stem into a bottle or jar and fill with vodka or other alcohol - including rubbing - and to store it in a dark place for a full moon. no need to decarboxylate for this remedy and it works wonderfully. i use a little more than an ounce of plant material per 16 oz of alcohol.

similarly, using the leaves, buds and some stems for butters (32 gms per 2lbs of butter) to be used as medicinal salves or for some milder (anxiety or to clean the house ) or non psychoactive effects from edibles - non caboxylating is not necessary.

according to the link, however, for a THC high or some other more intense need/effect, one may carboxylate the cannabis. how does carboxylating affect the various strains and their resulting effects for various conditions?
