Your best definition: Medical Marijuana vs This Great Stuff I Just Grew

[ZoBudd]

I live in an area where the medical dispensaries recently opened, and I keep getting the most frustrating questions from my friends about the difference between "medical marijuana" or "medical grade" and non-medical.
As hard as I've tried (and I do grow some high CBD strains that my buds love like Royal Highness), I always end up spending way too much time answering the question.

So, let's have at it experts!!!!

What is your best definition?

 

[Grojak]

We'll all the best growers/breeders hopped on MMJ as soon as they could. This medical has come to be known as the most potent and best buds you can find. Now that you have dispensaries you'll learn any pot can be sold as medical shitty or not.

Simple answer: marijuana is medicinal, this all pots medical some just are better than others for certain things (like your cbd strain forinflammation).

 

[DrunkenRampage]

Personally, I think med mmj just means its quality enough to be bought and sold at a dispensery

 

[SOMEBEECH]

Lab,tested.For one,then the Dankass chit you can find.

There is absolutely no such thing as medical grade marijuana. You could take the shittiest brick weed you can find, and if someone consumes it, and it helps them with a medical problem, then voila, clearly it is medical grade.

All cannabis can be medical grade based on the user in question.

The whole idea of medical grade just exists to ramp up the price and to allow people to be snobbish cunts thinking they're somehow better than others

I concur!

 

[ZoBudd]

Somehow, when I answer:

"There is no difference" I get weighed down in a discussions of quality, potency and price. It makes me tired.

I DO enjoy educating folks about different strains, THC, CBD, sativa/indica, etc. In fact, Some Royal Highness (Royal Queen) that I first grew as a freebie, has become a favorite for my friends!!!!

I agree that "mmj" is a misnomer. The confusion just drives me crazy.

....And then you have some of us oldsters, who still have a hard time referring to it as "medicine" and those who use it as "patients"
...But hey, its opened the doors so I'm perfectly cool with it. But it remains what it always was....Its dope.
And theres some really good dope these days.
Those who consume it are of course free to call yourselves whatever you like.

I agree with what you said other than this, you're way fucking off!! Medical pot (dispensary pot) goes between 8-15 a gram typically with most places being 10-12. Direct from source (from medical grower) typically 150-200 ounce. Many growers donate a portion of their harvests for free to truly sick patients. Legal recreational weed goes for 25-32 a gram, you obviously don't live in a medical state or have no idea what compassionate care is.

Sorry, i choked a little. You're trying to use the word compassionate in the same argument as $7000/kg for a plant. Lol. This has nothing to do with it's price comparative to street, this has to do with it's price period. The price of medical weed is an outright scam. $200 for 28 grams of plant matter is compassionate care? LOL That's one of the funnier things i've heard in a while.

What is your best definition?

Just my opinion, two criteria really.

1) High quality, proven to be free of pesticides, molds, or anything undesirable. testing that includes CBD/THC.
ratios no real preference for ratio since a variety of ratios can fix many conditions.

2) In a tincture, salve, balm, butter, pill or edible form or something that can be applied topicaly, with dosing instructions. Ammount of THC/CBD in the dose.

Nothing wrong with flowers, I just dont believe that its appropriate for pedatric patients, those with limited lung capacity or those with target areas that need relief, like a relative of mine that used a balm for pain relief from his muscular dystrophy.

 

[ZoBudd]

Grojak, don't know where you live, but where I am, we've yet to see see prices that high for any kind of weed. Are you adding state taxes into your equation?

 

[Cobnobuler]

.....I can't see $ 32 a gram flying anywhere on this planet.

The MI Court of Appeals recently legislated, that the extractions from weed, ie. the THC, was not medicine, and therefore could not be used, made or sold.

Of course when the court rules on something it its perfection, it's law, and they could not be wrong. EVER!

That's amusing. In the UK the home office holds the position that cannabis has no medical properties until it is turned into an extract.

 

[Michiganja Meduana]

lol, that figures.

Thats what happens when they regulate things they have no business regulating.

That's how you control the market government an't do shit about taxes if people can just grow plants for medicine. So instead they license 1 (yes, they have already created a medical marijuana monopoly in the UK before UK residents can even get the stuff) business to produce a patented solution (which is in reality nothing more than tincture) and that solution and that solution alone is the option for legal cannabis in the UK (except it is only for the most F'ed up medical reasons and doctors won't prescribe it because of the cost that comes with having a huge laboratory and such).

I long ago stopped giving two shits about medical marijuana, if i need it i'll get it, simple as that.

 

[Michiganja Meduana]

Same here.

 

[mr sunshine]

Fire is medical grade mj... bammer is not!!

We'll I can say 25 a gram for recreational weed is what I've found in Washington. Top shelf for sure and that was moving...
