Well, I agree and disagree with you on this one. I certainly think that medical grade could rightly be referred to as connoisseurs grade. But I don't believe that using the term medical grade is nothing more than a way to distance medical use from recreational use (unless of course a dispensary is calling their schwag medical grade, then it most certainly is).

Even the worst ditch-weed mexi redhair, CAN treat a patient in need, thus becoming 'medical marijuana' this might be low grade, but still would be LOW GRADE 'medical grade marijuana', right?

Look we can break it down and try to package it any way we want to for the general public, but come on now, good cannabis or bad cannabis it's all still cannabis and has medicinal qualities.

Sometimes all this political correctness gets out of hand. Next thing you know, cops are gonna pull med patients over and start inspecting the so called personal use baggies and having to decide if it is "medical grade" or not, cause if it's ditch weed, they have to confiscate that crap. Even worse, since it's not 'medical grade' the only use for it is, OMG... recreational use!!! So now a patient in possession of recreational use MJ can be arrested because no patient would use such low grade stuff to treat themselves.... So always carry around the medical grade.

Medical marijuana = high $'s, in high demand, less stigma attached to name
Ditch Weed = bulk pricing, nobody WANTS it, bad reputation


Marketing has paid off, don't believe me? Try this one:

Walk down the street and ask a stranger what their views of marijuana are, whenever you come across a person with a negative view on MJ ask a second question about their views on 'medical marijuana', I am willing to bet right now, right here that you will get more people to backtrack on their negative views than continue on with them:

'Oh medical marijuana is OK, but they shouldn't allow it to be outright legal, no that's bad for you, BUT sick people should be able to get medical marijuana'

Bad for healthy people but ok for sick people....

Although you might make one point you sure missed the bus.You have not ever experienced good medical grade products.There is some strains as chocolate chunk that actually drops blood sugar in diabetics.Or Vortex by Sub cool specifically bred to relieve pain.The difference in particular strains is proven everyday by patients themselves who buy specific strains or types,(Sativas,Idicas)for their illnesses.I would gladly invite you to be educated to specific strains and illnesses.I guess that is the difference between a qualified dispensary and a backyard caregiver. I think you should try pounding the pavement with yourfeet not your head.

Hemp has no THC but is still grown for its fiber.

So, if Jack Daniel's started marketing 'tooth soothing' whiskey would it be medicinal whiskey? Or was it 'medical grade' whiskey every time it was needed to help easy pain when there was no pain meds or anesthesia? They do it all the time in cowboy movies or civil war movies, right?

I know their are strains grown specifically with patients conditions in mind because a strain tends to have specific characteristics, but there is nothing different done when growing it than growing any other strain. Yes, yes, yes if you are growing for patients specifically you use organic this or that but this is NO different than what you would do if it was any other strain you cared about and wanted to be of the highest quality. There is no medical board certification or quality 'standard' set to justify true 'medical grade'. It's also probably best not to create one either, see my post above for a good reason.


High Quality = medical marijuana


Too many people stick 'medical' in the description for one reason only: SO THEY CAN CHARGE MORE, period. This is unfortunate but it is the truth and those that do should be ashamed of themselves. Herb, I understand where you are coming from and based on the previous posts in other forums and topics I have read from you I don't believe this is describing you (maybe I am wrong and you put on a good act, but I do believe you are genuine). No need to start with insults (backyard caregiver) just because I have a different view on the semantics of one issue.

I do care about the community and have plenty of compassion and based on the limited knowledge of your shop would someday like to have a shop set up similar to how you have described, it sounds like a nice place.

I believe in high grade, quality, top shelf, connoisseur grade, mid grade, head stash, dank, diggity, Medical marijuana, ect but these are all just 'names' for good quality cannabis that's it. ALL marijuana HAS MEDICINAL QUALITIES AND CAN BE USED AS 'MEDICAL marijuana'. One more thing I do believe in is, patients being cared for not taken advantage of, like so many 'so called' professionals do.

my cannabis club sells everything from A+ grade down to E. A+ is 60 an 1/8th, E is 20. now what is "medical grade" again? fdd's flavor of the week


adding grand daddy purple right now. it will be up in 5 mins.
