Sativa Vs Indica, Do You Know Which Strain is Best for You?
Choosing which variety of cannabis is best
for a particular individual or condition can be more complicated than
most imagine. Many patients have never tried or grown cannabis before
discovering it as a medicine. Even for those who have, knowing what
works for recreational and social purposes does not always translate
into knowing the most suitable variety of cannabis for specific medical
needs.
When choosing a medicinal cannabis strain,
it is useful to have a basic understanding of the differences between
Indica strains and Sativa strains in terms of their medical
applications. All psychoactive cannabis contains the active compounds
known as cannabinoids, but the proportions of the two main cannabinoids
in the various strains create different effects when they are ingested.
Cannabinoids In terms of measurable effects
on the body, and research into those effects, the two main cannabinoids
are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), and CBD (cannabidiol).
In most medicinal cannabis strains, THC
makes up the majority of the active ingredients, while CBD represents a
much smaller fraction. For instance, a potent strain may be measured at
15% or even 19% THC, but will typically contain less than 1% CBD.
Nevertheless, this comparatively small proportion can have noticeable
influence on the way the cannabis affects a patient. While CBD is not
considered psychoactive in itself, it can impart many of the medicinal
benefits of cannabis and can also moderate the effects of THC.
In this context, a CBD content of around 1%
could be considered comparatively high, while a strain with low
cannabidiol content would contain 0.6% CBD or less
Indica strains of cannabis generally have a
medium to high THC content as well as a comparatively high CBD content.
Sativa strains normally have medium to high THC and a relatively low
CBD content.
Varieties of cannabis with very high levels
of CBD are being developed and some, such as Ruderalis strains and
Bediol® (>6% THC : 7.5% CBD) already exist. These strains allow
patients to experience the benefits of medicinal cannabis without
experiencing a strong psychoactive effect.
The relationship of the two main
cannabinoids goes some way to explaining the different effects of the
numerous strains, and also the exceptionally wide range of conditions
which can be treated with medicinal marijuana.
Effects and Uses of Cannabis Indica Strains
Cannabis Indica strains generally create a
sedative, ‘stoned’ feeling. This sensation tends to be centred in the
body, which relaxes as muscle tension is reduced. Indicas are most
effective in treating muscle spasms and tremors (for example caused by
multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease), chronic pain, arthritic and
rheumatic stiffness and swelling, insomnia, anxiety and related
conditions.
Effects and Uses of Cannabis Sativa Strains
Cannabis Sativa strains provide a cerebral,
energetic ‘high’ effect which is experienced in the mind as well as in
the body. These strains are most effective for the treatment of nausea
(for example caused by chemotherapy or HIV/AIDS medications), appetite
stimulation, migraine headaches, depression, chronic pain and similar
symptoms.
Effects and Uses of Indica/Sativa Hybrid Strains
Effects and Uses of Indica/Sativa Hybrid Strains
Hybrids or cross-breeds of Indica and Sativa strains
exhibit characteristics from both types of
cannabis. For some patients this offers an advantage, especially when
medicating with cannabis to relieve chronic pain, something for which
both Indica and Sativa strains are suitable. Combining Sativa genes with
an Indica strain can aid mental clarity and decrease sedative effects,
while adding Indica to Sativa strains can lower the tendency of pure
Sativas to occasionally stimulate anxiety.
Choosing the Best Cannabis Strain
Many people choose to medicate with a
combination of different strains. The ‘high’ effects of Sativa strains
make them a better choice during the day, when being alert and awake is
desirable, whereas the relaxing effects of Indica varieties often make
them more suitable for evening and nighttime use. Hybrid strains can
offer the best of both worlds to many patients but may be less suited to
others.
The type of condition being treated is good
guide to whether an Indica or a Sativa strain is more appropriate .
Assessing the type of symptoms the patient seeks to relieve is generally
the best starting point for selecting the most suitable type of
medicinal cannabis for their individual condition.
It is also important to remember that just
as every person’s physiological make-up is slightly different, the
subjective experience of using cannabis medicinally is also different
for everyone. The information offered here is intended as a basic guide
and it is recommended that, if possible, anyone wishing to use cannabis
as medicine should first consult a qualified physician.

Permian Basin Marijuana Law Reform Group
Organized by Lydia Decker, a resident of Odessa, the event drew nearly 40 people in what some consider to be a very conservative area.
It also attracted the attention of two local news outlets, including CBS 7 and NewsWest 9. The group was featured on the evening news.
The first speaker of the day was Midland County Libertarian Party Chairman Kenneth Holmes, who gave a full rundown on the drug war and its origins.
Texas Cannabis Report’s Editor-in-Chief Stephen Carter, was next and provided a presentation on the political climate in Texas including marijuana-related bills being considered and what a successful war on drugs would look like.
Ector County Libertarian Party Chairman Ben Farmer, spoke next talking about the need for local political activism. Decker talked throughout the meeting between speakers, laying the initial foundation for organizing street teams to begin getting the word out about the newly proposed non-profit Permian Basin Chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
Decker wants to have people out on the streets waving signs and handing out information about marijuana to people who live in west Texas. While she’s looking for full legalization, she also wants to talk about the medical benefits of cannabis as well.
She often quotes Genesis 1:29 and while there are many translations, the scripture largely reads, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.”
“We basically use that as a platform, the scripture reveals that for us, God meant for it to be eaten, or ingested as in the edibles and Oils.’ Decker stated. “That the “healing” is from within. The smoke inhaled, also goes “within.” Man made Whiskey, God made pot, who do you trust?”
Decker wants to make clear that this organization is not just about people in Odessa or Midland, but the entire surrounding areas, and she wants to bring everyone together to reform marijuana laws for the better in Texas.
In order to get the newly proposed chapter up and running, the group needs five board members before filing with the State of Texas. Once that happens, the group can begin accepting members and donations, and begin fully organizing local events.
Those interested in finding out more about the organization can visit their website and Facebook page.

Activist Coalition for Cannabis Southeast Texas
Jeremy Bourque was just 15 years old
when he was diagnosed with epilepsy. He has had seizures that have sent
him to the hospital at least 10 times since he was 12 years old.
Jeremy has taken dozens of
prescription medications throughout the years that have altered his health and
quality of life. At 18 he started experimenting with cannabis and realized that
his quality of life and his health had major improvements. With the cannabis he
noticed that he needed less medications, and he felt better and was able to
accomplish more then he was able to when taking more dosages of prescription
medications.
Although Texas does not have medicinal cannabis legislation in place, Jeremy began growing his own low THC, high CBD strain of cannabis. This strain became his miracle alternative treatment to his debilitating illness that could otherwise cause brain damage and other serious side-effects, including death. Jeremy had found his key to living a healthy life.

This strain became his miracle alternative treatment to his debilitating illness that could otherwise cause brain damage and other serious side-effects, including death. Jeremy had found his key to living a healthy life.
On April 7th, 2014, law
enforcement came into Jeremy’s home and seized his medicine. Two months later,
Jeremy was charged with cannabis cultivation. He is now facing criminal charges
and is currently back on the prescription medications that had failed for years
to sufficiently curb his seizures.
Jeremy is a 38 year old lifetime resident of Jefferson County and is an otherwise law abiding citizen. We are raising money to help pay for the Neurological Expert that his Attorney is acquiring to help prove in a court of law, that medical marijuana has medicinal benefits for patients with epilepsy. This would be the first case of its kind in Southeast Texas and will determine how patients are prosecuted in the future.
Please donate to help ensure that Jeremy is able to obtain the proper medical experts to help defend him!
This is not just a fight for Jeremy Bourque, this is also a fight for every medical marijuana patient in Texas!
