Although marijuana is best known for its recreational use and mind altering effects, recent scientific studies shows that it has enormous medicinal potential. The history of marijuana as a medicine isn’t anything new however, it is extensive and includes many characters on many continents.
It’s believed that one of the earliest Chinese Emperor’s, dating as early in time as 2700 B.C., established what’s believed to be the very first account, or categorization, of the Cannabis plant in a system of ‘Herbal Medicine’s’. The Chinese Emperor Shen Nong, who was also known as ‘ The Divine Farmer ‘, was the first to document the plant’s benefits. The Emperor was also known for teaching Agriculture and Medicine in Ancient China. Thus establishing what just may be history’s first Medical Marijuana in or around 2700 B.C. by the Emperor.
Marijauna use as a treatment and medicine for a variety of illnesses helped it spread from ancient Asia throughout the world. The plant consistently appeared in folk medicine and pharmacopoeia as a treatment for seizure, pain, muscle spasm, nausea, poor appetite, insomnia, asthma and depression. Its potential to alleviate, premenstrual symptoms, labor pains and menstrual cramps also received attention in multiple medical reports from ancient times to present.
Possible medical marijuana benefits and application has continued to increase its popularity, even with individuals who would frown upon recreational use. Therapeutic cannabis has also provided intriguing scientific and legal research. Unfotunatley due to a current controversial around the marijauna laws, medical marijuana researches are somehow in the early stages and there is not a clear categorization of the best medical marijuana strains.
To understand why the different strains may have different effects and help different types od medical condition it’s good to know the basic chemistry of cannabis.
The active indigrients of cannabis consists of:
* THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) gets a user high, a larger THC content will produce a stronger high. Without THC you don’t get high.
* CBD (Cannabidiol) increases some of the effects of THC and decreases other effects of THC. High levels of THC and low levels of CBD contribute to a strong, clear headed, more energetic high.
* Cannabis that has a high level of both THC and CBD will produce a strong head-stone that feels almost dreamlike. Cannabis that has low levels of THC and high levels of CBD produces more of a buzz or stoned feeling. The mind feels dull and the body feels tired.
* CBN (Cannabinol) is produced as THC ages and breaks down, this process is known as oxidization. High levels of CBN tend to make the user feel messed up rather than high.
* CBN levels can be kept to a minimum by storing cannabis products in a dark, cool, airtight environment. Marijuana should be dry prior to storage, and may have to be dried again after being stored somewhere that is humid.
* THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin) is found primarily in strains of African and Asian cannabis. THCV increases the speed and intensity of THC effects, but also causes the high to end sooner. Weed that smells strong (prior to smoking) might indicate a high level of THCV.
* CBC (Cannabichromene) is probably not psychoactive in pure form but is thought to interact with THC to enhance the high.
* CBL (Cannabicyclol) is a degradative product like CBN. Light converts CBC to CBL.
* CBD (Cannabidiol) increases some of the effects of THC and decreases other effects of THC. High levels of THC and low levels of CBD contribute to a strong, clear headed, more energetic high.
* Cannabis that has a high level of both THC and CBD will produce a strong head-stone that feels almost dreamlike. Cannabis that has low levels of THC and high levels of CBD produces more of a buzz or stoned feeling. The mind feels dull and the body feels tired.

If you are a grower, you can experiment with different marijuana strains to produce the various qualities you seek. A medical user looking for something with sleep inducing properties might want to produce a crop that has high levels of CBD.
Another user looking for a more energetic stone will want to grow a strain that has high levels of THC and low levels of CBD.
Another user looking for a more energetic stone will want to grow a strain that has high levels of THC and low levels of CBD.
In general, Cannabis sativa has lower levels of CBD and higher levels of THC. Cannabis indica has higher amounts of CBD and lower amounts of THC than sativa. So for example if you are looking for the pain reliving marijuana strain – the Indica’s are best known to do just that.
