Episode 444: 8 Years Later: Christine Cloutier’s Journey With Chronic Pain, a Double Mastectomy and Cannabis
Eight years ago, we spoke with Christine Cloutier of Florida, who had been living with degenerative disc disease, ankylosing spondylitis, and the aftermath of a double mastectomy. At the time, cannabis had become a crucial part of her pain management and overall well-being. Now, Christine returns to share how her journey has evolved—how she manages chronic pain today, the challenges she faced, and how her perspective on life has changed.
To save money on cannabis oil buy 30g of bud and mix with 3 cups coconut oil and 3 tsp sunflower lecithin. Decarb the bud (can be done in the oven but I use the Ardent decarboxylator) then infuse the bud into the coconut oil with the sunflower lecithin powder to bind the ingredients. I use the Magic Butter Machine at 160 degrees for 2 hours. You can save by putting the oil under your tongue. I don’t like the taste so I fill about 600 Double 00 gel caps and store in a cookie tin in the fridge so they keep for quite some time. This lowers your cost significantly and allows you the affordability to medicate as needed.
