What makes marijuana 'medical'?

Discussion in 'Medical Marijuana Usage and Applications' started by glas, Feb 3, 2011.

  1. I've been looking at the qualities of a lot of different cannabis strains. Some are listed as 'medical' or medicinal'. Most are not.

    The main difference between "medical marijuana" and other strains seems to be the strength, coming in at over 20% THC content. Other than that I can't seem to notice much difference.

    You have sativa, indica and various hybrids all listed as medical.

    Would the almost narcotic like effects of Paradise Seeds Opium give it a special signification in the medical cabinet?

    what's the deal? Does it depend on the condition you're treating? or is it just all about THC content?
     
  2. Well, Granny Storm Crow can provide an abundant amount of information regarding the medicinal properties of our wonderful plant, but to address your question, it comes down to the old tactics of Marketing.

    "Medical-grade", "medicinal", "MediCali", all these are terms used to market usually very high-quality (and yes, therefore high THC content) cannabis, grown with tender loving care in the best environments.

    This doesn't mean that the same strain grown outdoors in shitty dirt is somehow not also beneficial or "medicinal", but again it has to do with marketing and quality.
