Hey everyone!
Just want to drop some more intel on you all:

Quercetin I know you all know about by now so I won't be including additional studies for that.
But, here's an added bonus! CBD from cannabis ALSO treats C19 by inhibiting viral replication and promoting a healthy host immune response:

Those of us who already partake in cannabis know very well that we've been lied to about cannabis for quite some time. I can only hope the more conservative crowd in this forum that shies away from cannabis learns to see through the lies they've been told about that, as well.
Take care everyone.
Stay cozy, frens.
500mg is crazy, Colorado says a normal newbie dose is 10mg after that "reporter lady" freaked in her hotel room and wrote some bullshit about edibles, Colorado put her face on billboards as a warning, so funny. There are a couple videos of people eating 500mg and 1000mg edibles on utube, those videos are irresponsible and destroy the truth, scaring people away from a miracle.
FECO can easily be made into any edible you wish, just know your starting milligrams of THC, then divide that number by the number of edible doses you make. FECO is stable and can be even further baked into foods like brownies without losing potency. Know that the more you decarboxylize (cook) cannabis the more sedative the effects can get. For example, a friend baked cannabis cookies and the burnt cookies were more potent and sedative than the unburned cookies.
The other 20% in extracted cannabis oil is commonly plant waxes, fats, chlorophyll and other things that are natural from the plant, but end up in the crude oil from the solvent extraction process.
Supercritical extraction of cannabis with CO2 is the best method getting up to in theory 99% purity, but the equipment can cost easily over $100,000 and isn't necessary to cure cancer.
Good questions!
I should mention that Rick Simpson says to 'build up your tolerance' to handling 1000mg per day, he says to eat the oil as quickly as you possibly can if you are at death's door. Everyone is different. Some folks work up quickly and consume 60 grams of oil in 2 months, this is what Rick recommends, eating 60 grams in two months, if you can handle it. 60 grams in 60 days = 1 gram (1000mg) per day.
Hash is no joke. I treasure it when I can get it.
Afghani hashish is horrible stuff for me, other's seem to think its wonderful but I don't. That is all there was in the UK some time ago thanks to Howard Marks, cheers a bunch.
Blonde Lebanese from the Bekaa valley is nice stuff as is some stuff from the Moroccan Rif Mountains, but all everyone sells is weed these days.
Maybe it was 50 mg. It was half a gummie that the kids at work gave me. They smoke that wax shit all day long and they still were cooked good after eating a whole one.
Anyway does it work for pain?
Take it from someone with two fractured vertebrae, a blown disc and spinal arthritis: it works for pain.
They used to make 120mg cheeba chews and I think those have been discontinued or now have large warnings on the label.
It would be impossible for a single gummy bear to be 500mg, just the size of 500mg of pure THC is nearly the size of a gummy bear.
A strain developed to help pain yes. Do some strain research. One that combats pain and you can still function. Honestly it's different for everyone.
