Medical Marijuana
There are many names for marijuana - cannabis, cannabis indica, cannabis sativa, cannabis American us, Indian hemp, marihuana but those are just different names for the same plant. Cannabis is used by different people in different parts of the world for different things.
It's use has a very long history. Depending on your point of view it can be portrayed as simply fun, evil, useful,or harmless. Western medicine is just beginning to discover the uses of marijuana - some say "re-discovering".
Chinese medicine, on the other hand, has long used marijuana as a basic building block of treatment.Given marijuana's increasing popularity it's only a matter of time before we see many more uses for marijuana developed
Right now medical marijuana is on a steep learning curve. New uses for it are being discovered and tested all the time. New ways to make use of the herb are being developed, often through activists who share knowledge about ingestion, benefits, ways top cook with it, and more There are two main varieties of marijuana - indica and sativa
These two types can be further divided into all sorts of sub-strains Breeders have further multiplied these by selective breeding The result is thousands and thousands of strains and names
Each is genetically different and each has, to some degree, unique characteristics Indicas grow faster overall They can be traced to Africa, Central Asia and the sub-continent Indicas are good for hash, and these areas are traditionally known as hash producers.
Indicas are short, darker green, and have wide leaves After flowering starts they're mature in 6 -8 weeks The buds are stinky and big They are great for pain blocking and management, and so are good for medicinal marijuana The size and shape of indica make it a good candidate for indoor gardens.
Sativas grow slower and grow taller than indicas. They are harder to grow indoors, and are hard to grow outside as you get further north. They grow in places like Mexico, Colombia, the Caribbean and South east Asia.
They get very tall - 15 to 20 feet They are lighter green than indicas, and long and skinny in comparison They also take longer to bloom and mature The effects associated with sativas are paranoia and irregular hear beats This makes medical use of pure sativas more challenging.
That doesn't make sativas bad Sativas come in may strains, just like indicas They can be blended and crossbred Once that's done they display different characteristics in proportion to the blend
That's what breeders try to accomplish They breed for results - more resear4ch leads to more knowledge about what strains do what This leads to more strains and hybrids than the original pure strains.The results are hybrids that are called sativa/indica crosses or indica/sativa crosses, depending on the mix and which is in the majority.
Sativa crosses are moderated by indica qualities Reverse the combination and you have an indica moderated by sativa qualities If you use indica to reduce a saliva's paranoiac effects you make it more useful and exploit the motivational effects of sativa They have anti-depressive applications and are good appetite stimulants.Right now the indicas are the most popular medicinal marijuana because of their pain management qualities Nor then Lights, a popular indica hybrid,was the first hybrid I ever grew.
