1: Correct - I have fortunately never had need to go to a medical marijuana dispensary -very fortunate as I have never lived in a country where such a facility exists yet. However all the information I seem to find points to medical marijuana having a higher CBD than THC ratio. Just a couple of such examples:

https://www.greenrelief.ca/blog/medical-marijuana-get-me-high/

https://docmj.com/2017/06/05/difference-medical-recreational-marijuana/

Of course maybe the info in such sites is  BS, and you are right in inferring that medical marijuana is higher in THC than CBD.

 

2: The light 'cycle' is everything about hours of dark vs light, and nothing at all to do with light spectrum. The clue is in the word 'cycle'.

Metal Halide (blue) and Sodium (red) are, as you say, the best choice of bulbs to use for artificial indoor light solutions wrt the growing and flowering stages.

In an outdoor situation though, sunlight has the full spectrum of wavelengths that a plant requires to complete it's life cycle. That spectrum is not changed by the light\dark cycle.

 

3: I use the word skunk as a generic term for any strain of weed, as do a lot of people I know. A bit like everyone calls clear sticky tape Sellotape ????

So apparently, you are just spouting off stuff you read. You have never grown. You have never seen the process. You have never smoked Legal US weed, medicinal or otherwise. Hint*:  the difference between medicinal and recreational is the label. Your experience with weed dates back to when?

 

If Thai weed is legal, many of the complaints about same (compression, curing) will dissapear. The stuff is good quality, at a fair price. It would make a wonderful export

Id personally smoke outdoor Thai weed at $3 a gram, thanks.

 

I suspect so would many others. 

Yes, but what if you needed it for medical reasons? The thai weed doesnt work for that.

Duh. Its all weed. You want refined extracts to treat yourself, get them. You want to wake and bake....Thai stick.

Yes, sorry you are right.  Thai weed if grown and cured properly would be useful as a medicine for a variety of symptoms.   The majority of strains availble today have been bred with the Thai strain at some point.  However, there are now strains that are tailored for more specific symptoms.  The combinations seem to be endless and that is what makes cannabis unique compared to any other illegal drugs. For example, pure cocaine, meth and heroine will provide the same effect everytime.  There is no such thing as cocaine that helps you sleep.  With cannabis there are strains that will knock you out minutes after you smoke them but there are also strains that will give very similar effects as cocaine like making you unable to sleep, talkative and full of energy.   Then within those 2 extremes there is a wide range of effects.  The ratio of cbd to thc is what makes each strain unique as just a small change in that ratio can cause a huge difference in the effects.  For medical use the ratio determines how effective the strain will be for a specific symptom.  If scientist had been allowed to study it all these years then they probably would have had most of it figured out by now.

Does this apply to foreigners, as well as Thai people ?

Dude its a weed. It affects each stoner differently. You are buying into the hype.

I'm not sure the ratio of CBD to THC is what induces sleep but we simply don't have enough data to know. I use marijuana in Alaska (where it's completely legal) and for sleep, I use the Indica (cannabis indica) variety. I bought some recently called "9 pound Hammer" and it knocked me out quick. The other common strain, cannabis sativa, has the more hallucinogenic effect that one would prefer to enjoy music or the wilderness experience, for example.

Yes, you're quite right that if scientists had been allowed to investigate the myriad uses and varieties of each major strain of this healthful herb, we'd be way ahead of where we are now. The fact that a government can prevent people from using a natural plant in any way they see fit is the real crime. Now that nationwide legalization in the U.S is getting closer, you just watch big Pharma and agricultural giants move in and try to screw things up and drive small scale entrepreneurs out of business. They can smell the money.

Hahahahahahaha ????   The only correct assumption you have made about me is that I have never been to the US - which I pretty much indicated anyway.

 

To answer your question - early 1980's.

 

.....and I don't have any complaints about Thai weed - not sure that I gave the impression I did.... I much prefer the hit (and the price) to stupid strength indoor grown bud.

With all this talk how far are we away from me being able to

choose a strain that is good for my fibromyalgia and being

able to put half a dozen plants in my back garden.

 

Keep an eye on Canada, Quebec especially, and you might get your answer. In most provinces, except Quebec and another I can't remember, people will be able to grow 4 plants per household. BUT, not in dear old Quebec. @#$%ing Quebec...

Big Pharma and Big Ag are the money behind the lobbying efforts to keep marijuana illegal, as they have been since the 1930s when they realized the threat cheaply grown marijuana posed and still poses to their chemical empires. DuPont is at the top of that list.

   And even more entrenched our Federal Drug Enforcement Agency spends 25% of its enforcement money on pot.  

   If you will pardon the pun the homegrown legalize pot movement seems to be taking off.  I live in Illinois and our governor wants it by the end of the year.  11 states have legalized and 13 have decriminalized it.  The magic 35 number seems just around the corner.

    I don't smoke it or enjoy it but hate seeing my tax dollars wasted on enforcement of our draconian laws.

How about TV using a different photo than the the pothead with ganja tats on his face?....eg. Bill Clinton (although he didn't inhale or have sex with that woman), Barack Obama, or Bill Shorten (leader of the opposition in Australia) or perhaps some very ordinary and normal looking people from any walk of life from anywhere in the world.

or Kamala Harris who used to get so high in college that she was listening to Snoop Dog and Tupoc 7 yrs before they ever cut an albumn? Then sat in the CA. prosicuter's office and got high before putting people in prison for getting high. 

[nickstav]

If you are a stoner (and I'm not) and have not been caught and the police have no knowledge of your usage, why in the world would you want to turn yourself in for amnesty and get yourself put on some database?
