Medical Marijuana Doctor
Medical Marijuana: the Myths and RealitiesMarijuana has been used for medicinal purposes for more than 3,000 years.
Marijuana, also known as cannabis, has been used for more than 3,000 years for the treatment and management of pain, digestive issues and psychological disorders. Despite the fact that marijuana is thought to be useful for treating several medical conditions and symptoms, there is great debate about its safety and efficacy. The Food and Drug Administration has not approved marijuana for any medical condition, yet a growing number of states are legalizing its use for the treatment and management of certain medical conditions.
Indica and Sativa Medical Marijuana Strains
1. Medical marijuana is based on two different species of marijuana, Indica and Sativa (as well as hybrids that mix the two). Medical marijuana strains come from breeding and cross-breeding these plants for different qualities, including the strength of the “high” that gives pain relief, the yield of the plant, and the plant’s tolerance to different environments.
2. Dispensaries will always tell you what strain you are buying; in fact, it is required to be labeled on the jar. In general, Indica medical marijuana strains will provide strong “body effects” which are good for pain relief.
3. It is important to keep in mind that a very strong or “heavy” high is sometimes called a “body stone,” meaning that patients should not plan on being active on the day they use it.
4. Sativa strains will provide strong “mind effects” that are good for relaxation and conditions that affect the mind. Hybrids try to capture the best of both these strains.
Medical Marijuana Strains: Relief by Any Other Name
1. On your first trip to the dispensary, you will probably notice (or have noticed already) the creative names that medical marijuana strains have.
2. This can be entertaining, but it makes it hard to pick a strain – can something called White Widow really relieve muscle spasms? Patients and researchers say that it can so try to put aside the names and focus on what really counts - symptom relief.
