People use marijuana for all sorts of reasons.
Obviously a huge portion of the global cannabis industry is driven by people using the plant recreationally to “get high” or assume intoxicated.
Likewise, I’m sure that some of the most accomplished cannabis growers in history have fallen into this style at one time or another. Regardless of what anyone else thinks, I’m thankful for stoners and the effect they have on the huge cannabis industry. However, people such as myself who rely on cannabis for consistent and repeatable medical effects are equally important. All of us didn’t just get medical cannabis cards so we can access marijuana legally, we entirely have also taken care of medical problems that improve when treated with various cannabis products. Although I initially got our medical marijuana card to treat our PTSD from decades in the army, nowadays I use marijuana more for physical pain than anything else. I went straight into construction after retiring from the military and my aging body has sustained a lot of injuries working on sketchy building projects. If you asked an average cannabis user about what kind of cannabis strain is best suited for physical pain, I’d be willing to bet that most would say indicas or indica-leaning hybrid strains. However, there are some sativa strains that melt through our back pain better than any indica that is at our disposal in this state. Green Crack is a great sativa strain for both work-day energy and focus, and physical and psychological pain. I just wish that the local dispensary would grow Green Crack more than two to many times a year.
