The Basics About Medical Marijuana
If you are a legitimate patient who has been given the opportunity to use medical marijuana to alleviate your ailments, you might have started to become interested in trying your hand at a bit of gardening yourself. Make sure that your doctor's recommendation allows you to cultivate plants for personal use, and make sure that you stay within any legal maximums that may be in effect in your area. As long as you play by the rules, growing your own is really quite easy and a lot of fun.
Like many other flora, cannabis expresses tremendous variation. One of the most basic distinctions to be drawn exists between Indicas and Sativas.
Indicas are one of the two broad categories of cannabis. These flowers tend to affect the patient in more mental ways, specifically in calming or slowing frantic thought. Because of this property, Indicas are highly prized as medicine for those who suffer from anxious disorders or depressive episodes. Those who treat themselves with Indicas report that the effects allow them to put their thoughts into perspective without all the anxiety.
Sativas are the second general group. They usually take a bit longer to reach full ripeness, nine to ten weeks as opposed to seven or eight for an Indica, and tend to be taller and lankier plants. The effects of a well grown and cured Sativa are exceptionally relaxing, both mentally and physically, and can be a very good choice for patients who experience chronic pain symptoms.
It is important that you not just jump right into gardening without making sure of some fundamental things first. You are going to need to set aside part of your yard, or a room in your home if you are intent on growing the plants inside, for the cannabis. Even though you may possess a physician's recommendation, and even though the laws in your area may permit it, not everyone is okay with the idea that their neighbor is growing drugs.
Some people are interested in the hybrid strains. As virtually no cannabis strains are one hundred percent pure Sativa or Indica, most cannabis can address both the physical and the mental concerns of the patient to various degrees. These hybrids comprise a significant chunk of the available genetics and are extremely popular to grow.
Some of the easiest strains for a novice gardener to grow include Chocolope (a wonderful combination of Cannalope Haze and a Chocolate Thai Sativa), White Rhino (an extremely potent cross between the legendary White Widow and an unknown North American Indica), and Black Domina. These are all very forgiving of abuse and mistakes. This makes them great for a first time attempt.
Growing your own medical marijuana frees you from the need to purchase your medicine. Sometimes this is far more attractive to people. If you think this is something you would like to try, above all else make sure that you are within the limits of the local laws.
