The Basics About Medical Marijuana

By Adriana Noton


Now that your primary health care physician has recommended that you try cannabis as a treatment for some of your problems, you may have been thinking about growing it yourself. Many people do exactly this, and even a novice grower can produce perfectly acceptable medical marijuana with only a little effort. No matter what you do, however, it is very important to make sure that you stay within the limits of the law. As long as you stay legal, this can be a really fun and useful hobby.

Like any other plant, cannabis has many different varieties. These are usually referred to as strains, and they are grossly divided into two basic sorts.

The first of these two basic sorts, the Indica, is made up of squat and compact little plants for the most part. They are known for their cerebral effects and are particularly effective in calming the minds of those who suffer with anxiety or depression. The general consensus is that these Indicas alllow patients to see things in a more detached and therefore less immediately personal way.

The other broadly defined category of cannabis plants is called Sativa. These are taller, scrawnier plants for the most part, and they do take a couple of weeks more than Indicas to fully mature. The overall effect of a Sativa is one of relaxation. This can be physical or mental, though it is usually physical. People who suffer from chronic pain problems frequently prefer this sort of plant.

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.

Depending on your particular health concerns, you might even prefer to delve into the realms of hybrids. Very few cannabis strains are pure Indica or Sativa, and most tend to be a mixture of both to some degree. These hybrids can offer the best of both worlds to some people as they are equally able to alleviate mental and physical discomfort.

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.
