  1. My brother had bought a bunch of marijuana in Mexico. When he had to come back to USA, he had to do something with it and his grandmother and aunts jumped to get it. They used it to put in alcohol to rub on hurting joints. He told me and that is how I knew that this was a thing since way back.

  2. I'd use a high proof alcohol but not Isopropyl. Anything 40% or higher would be good enough to use. Potato Vodka is cheap and works great. Shake the jar every day to maximize the solution and to avoid molding. Then you are literally making a tincture from it which can be consumed if desired or used topically. Half a dropper under the tongue for 20 seconds then swallow. You can't consume isopropyl alcohol.

  3. My brother from another mothers people are from El Salvador. Yaya hated when we smoked weed, but loved when we would bring vodka soaked stems. The alcohol opens the pores, and the cannabis helps with joint pain.

  4. That looks like a type of alcohol tincture. My neighbor makes a tincture for poison oak out of poison oak. I only had to drink a little bit of it a couple of times and I’ve been immune to poison oak ever since. I used to be extremely allergic to poison oak, just looking at it I would break out in a rash.

  5. Same as top comment, my Mexican neighbor lady would kindly ask for leaf’s and such after harvest. Obviously I shared with her. She gave me a big plate of carne asada and rice and beans….omg folks. Total OG Mexican food made by Mexican lady…….. OMG….!

  6. Jesus was supposedly annointed with oil that had cannabis in it ! If it's good enuff 4 him well……………………………………I guess its good enuff 4 me !

  7. This stuff works great. My grandma would always have a jar saved and use it for topical. If you have back pains, this will work. Arthritis, rub some on the affected area.

  8. My nana use to use it for arthritis, external use only, this have to be n sugar cane alcohol, they forget to say that.
    BUT! Don’t get confused for those who claim is the miracle cure, is not.
    I have MS, n try medical mariguana n many ways except smoking, I didn’t understand why didn’t work for me when everyone claim that work.
    Is simple, it works n alcohol for certain pains, n those smokers who claim is a miracle cure, they lie, using the sick as n excuse for legalization.
    In the MS groups many use it, n make the claim that get rid of pain, every pot head will tell you the same, but for those who are not, or ever being recreational users, is a different story.
    When I discuss it with others n the same group, someone told me, doesn’t get rid of pain, it get numb, n you think less about the pain.
    Now a neurologist specializes n MS, is saying the same thing.
    To me? Well is a horrible paranoia, n produce even more pain when relax, because the weight of my body parts pull down my muscles n hurts.
    Yes, it work with alcohol n get ride of some pain almost immediately.
    If you want to smoke, don’t use the sick as n excuse.
    My nana have it right.😉
