It’s very likely that only some strains will help with your medical condition. In fact, depending on the condition being treated, some strains could actually make your medical condition worse.[spacer height=”20px”]Choosing the right strain is just the beginning, only an experienced medical professional can prescribe the appropriate dosage for you.[spacer height=”20px”]
CBD won’t be prioritized in recreational market[spacer height=”20px”]One of the most important components of medical cannabis treatment is cannabidiol (CBD). CBD has been used in medicine by the Chinese for well over 1000 years, and before prohibition was also prescribed by doctors to alleviate common ailments. This cannabinoid is currently used to help treat a multitude of conditions such as depression, anxiety chronic pain, PTSD, and more.
Because CBD is non-psychoactive (i.e. you don’t get high from consuming), it will have little utility in the recreational marijuana market. Accessing pure CBD with no THC will also not be possible through recreational marijuana stores.[spacer height=”20px”]
