Once
a patient has a diagnosis for which medical marijuana can provide benefit, the
next step is to select the variety of marijuana suited to provide the
appropriate symptom relief. If one is going to grow his or her own marijuana,
there will also need to be consideration on whether the marijuana is being
grown inside or outside.
Marijuana
plants will differ with regards to size and growing habits, temperature
preferences and light needs, or whether they do well indoors or outdoors. The
most predominant marijuana that many of the purple strains are bred from is
Grand Daddy Purple. It is calming, sedating, and works well for pain relief. It
has a sweet grape taste and aroma. It also has good effects for relieving
spasticity, insomnia, and helping with improving appetite. Marijuana

OG
Kush is another popular variety which is common in dispensaries. It smells
musky and earthy, and often has an odor of sage. It provides a mind opening,
thought provoking type of high which works well for anxiety, depression, and
appetite stimulation. New research shows that it is not just the cannabinoids
in marijuana that contribute to a patient's psychoactive experience. It is also
terpenes, which are the aroma molecules contained in the marijuana plant. These
terpenes help define the way patients feel in the differing varieties, so it is
important to know how the various strains smell which defines the eventual
effects on the body and may help with varying disease symptoms. Marijuana
Vaporizer
Purple
Kush maintains immediate pain relieving effects. It provides deep psychoactive
effects for anxiety, depression, stomach problems, and chronic pain along with
insomnia. The smell is tropical fruit and it contains numerous terpenes such as
myrcene and caryophyllene. Medical
Marijuana
Sour
Diesel maintains combination qualities. It smells a bit like sour grapefruit
and provides a "psychedelic" high. It is recommended for social
anxiety, multiple sclerosis, neuropathic pain, and problems with focusing.
Interestingly, it assists with clarity while also providing an intense
psychoactive experience. Quality
Marijuana
There
are very few pure indica or sativa marijuanas on the market. Most are a variety
combination strains. With varying genetics and now that it is know terpenes
assist with the various psychoactive effects, the eventual result should be
specific strains that hone in on a patient's debilitating condition with low
side effects. The research is ongoing, although with marijuana being federally
illegal it is difficult to perform research appropriately as with traditional FDA
cleared medications. Recreational
