Find the Right Medical Marijuana Strain

When you intend to buy medical marijuana and head to a dispensary, you may find it hard to choose from several marijuana strains. Every strain has different properties and is suitable for different medical conditions. You must have enough knowledge of the strains that are specifically cultivated for medical use. If you know about the potency and healing powers of strains, you will not have any difficulty deciding on the type of strain at the dispensary counter. Choosing the best strain for your medical condition can be made easy with the following tips.

Learn about the types of strains

No two strains of marijuana have the same potency and effects. Generally, there are three basic types of marijuana strains named indica, sativa or a hybrid of these two. Each of them has different properties to treat various ailments. Keep in mind your medical issue when choosing the right strain.

Indica strains are good for those who are suffering from sleep disorders, anxiety and symptoms of post-traumatic sleep disorder. The sativa marijuana strain is ideal for treating migraines, chronic pain and symptoms of glaucoma. When choosing a hybrid strain, you should look at whether it is categorized as sativa dominant strain or indica dominant strain or a balanced strain. This way, you will understand what to expect from their effects.

Hybrid strains are well suited for some medical conditions. A hybrid strain is a blend of sativa and indica strain, which is produced by breeding a sativa plant with an indica plant. Hybrid strains are usually more potent, so you should conduct some research before buying a hybrid strain.

Consider the cannabinoid content

Strains aren’t the only thing you need to consider when buying medical marijuana. The cannabinoid content is what makes this herb a useful drug. Cannabidiol (CBD) and THC are the two main active compounds found in cannabis, and their quantities vary from strain to strain. CBD helps relieve pain without making you feel high. Every strain has a different combination of THC and CBD.

THC is a compound that is best suited for people struggling with sleeping issues and anxiety disorders. People use THC for relaxation and relief from the symptoms of depression and stress. THC gives euphoric effects, and CBD is antipsychotic and helps to manage pain. You can also grow your own medical marijuana strain at home.

Choose the best of both

Depending on your medical condition, you should choose the hybrid strain containing the right combination of THC and CBD. Choose a CBD dominant strain if you are seeking pain and inflammation relief. A strain with a higher level of CBD is believed to contain more healing properties than a THC-dominant strain. THC-dominant strains help manage the unpleasant feelings and symptoms of anxiety by producing soporific effects. However, a balanced blend of CBD and THC gives the best results of both compounds. A strain containing balanced levels of both compounds is the best option for those seeking severe pain relief and reduced inflammation without getting much euphoric effects.
