and other topical ailments. The leaf contains a significant pain-killer, and is cheaper than the bud. I understand that you cook it down like you would for brownies, then mix/blend the result with a good oil-type medium (for rubbing in). This can be self-applied on knees, joints, etc.

Good medicinal use for cheap weed.
