Suppository Dosage – CBD/THC Combination

Please be advised that this site does not sell CBD or THC and the examples below are for education purposes only.

Here is an example uptake schedule of combination THC and CBD for suppository use in the treatment of cancer.

Please note this schedule is for uptake phase and may be adjusted once achieved. Due to Rick Simpsons famous 60 grams in 90 days method of treatment, often patients opt to up the THC titrating upward using the three day cycle in the schedule to follow, to 1ml of THC oil for several months. This schedule and other guidance are not meant to constitute medical advice and is rather a user-friendly guide to tolerable and effective uptake of cannabinoids.

*The THC referred to above is made up of 1/2 pure THC oil, and 1/2 organic virgin olive oil, mixed for ease of making dose liquid and better bio-availability overall.

One ml syringe tubes (without needles) can be ordered at your local chemist, ordered in a box of 100 they will cost you 20 cents each. One tube is used every dose. This ensures the overall hygiene of the process. This also means very little effort and discomfort to the user, as there is no need to mix and make suppositories in moulds or insert fingers to dose.

Taking cannabis oil rectally is good as it increases bioavailability by up to 3 times or more over oral use and greatly reduces the psychotropic effects of THC. Many clients do not feel any significant psychotropic or even psycho-active effects from this method. The oils are more bio-available rectally because orally applied cannabinoids undergo the process of first pass digestive destruction which diminishes the amount of intact cannabinoid crossing the blood brain barrier. The psychoactive effects of THC are diminished significantly however because as delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol or THC is processed through the liver its main metabolite is 11 hydroxy THC – a much more psychotropic substance. When used rectally, the liver is bypassed in the processing to a large degree.

Making Up Doses

Oils do not need to be refrigerated unless you are keeping them for extended time periods. Keep oils in a dark, dry cupboard away from the sun to help keep their stability. Making doses at room temperature will make the oil less viscous, thus easier and more accurate to measure.

Alternately, if using oil from the refrigerator, place in warm water for a minute or two before each use. Many patients make up the tubes all at once and then refrigerate, taking out the day’s doses on the day of use. This is best practice as it gets the oil into airtight tubes at once with the least chance of contamination.

Use a bright headlamp or table lamp to see what you are doing. Dip the tip into the oil and draw up desired amount. (Note that there is a 0.05ml air bubble created due to plunger not reaching end of tip).

Either compensate with more oil or draw a little up then expel it back in to mix before drawing up again to rid air bubble.

You should run with this for a while and then assess. Tests should be taken before or in early stages of use then on a three monthly basis to determine efficacy.

We also recommend using a vaporiser pen specific for oils or taking CBD orally with THC. Many patients take CBD orally with each dose but leave out the THC due to its very high oral psycho-activity. An alternative is to vaporise dried cannabis by using a dry herb vaporiser however it is important that you only use organically grown cannbis with no fungicides and pesticides used in growing – check its origins prior to consuming. Growing it yourself is ideal for these reasons.

Get to know your medicine by doing as much research as possible through online resources such as projectcbd.org and healer.com so you can become more powerful in your own healing process. You will also be better prepared o assist in healing yourself by taking on holistic practices, such as change in diet, lifestyle, exercise and mental/emotional well-being wherever possible.

30 Day Uptake Schedule

Daily doses below – suppositories (can be split into 2 or 3 doses ,morning, day and night)

• This schedule will stabilise you at a daily dose of 1ml CBD oil and .5ml pure THC oil
• You will need 16.5ml of CBD oil, 8.25ml of THC oil and 8.25ml of a carrier oil (e.g. olive oil) to complete the 30 day uptake schedule
• Once the uptake schedule is completed you will continue at the last dosage ie the 1ml per day
• After the uptake has finished you will need 30ml of CBD oil, 15ml of THC oil and 15ml of carrier oil (e.g. olive oil) per 30 days to continue at that level.

You can then take more of the THC if you wish, adjusting it upwards every 3 days in the same increments as shown above.

More CBD is to be included, relative to the amount of THC in the early stages of this process, as this mitigates psychoactive effects. It is worthwhile to take some CBD by mouth as well, so take a few drops two or three times a day with the suppository doses. THC can also be taken orally to assist with pain, sleep etc, if it is well tolerated. If you feel effects that are uncomfortable for you, then you can stop increasing doses until comfort returns. Adjust the schedule if need be.

Taking an enema in early stages of use to promote bio-availability is worthwhile but not mandatory. Several things can be done to assist with this as well, such as a course of good herbal elimination compounds. You may also use psyllium husk (1 tbs per day) as a mild laxative to promote regularity and cleansing.

There are innumerable articles online on the benefits of suppository use of a wide range of applied medicines and herbal treatments.
