Well im wondering the difference in medical grade and the other top quality strains that are advertised.

i know that most of the medical seed stains are high in tch cbn and all that good shit but what about other strains that are high in these are they considered medical too if so why arent they labled Medical?

so what's the real difference?

i don't think they should call strains "medical grade". i think it's the finished product that should be rated. if i were to purchase some "medical grade seeds" and grew them with heavy chemicals and it came out all messed up i know no medical patients would want it. now if i found a good pheno of bagseed and grew it organically with proper care and it turned put perfect, then patients would desire it. i think when seed banks say "medical grade" they are just trying to get your money.

in my opinion, all cannabis is "medical grade"; just some medicines are better than others; and "better" is in "the eye of the toker"

Usually they are supplied by good growers, like 1 of these past posters. Years ago I read this thing about the Gov. medical pot, (I think it was Mississippi) that was real garbage, taste and every thing was bad....Pot is a personal thing...weed that turns your friend into a flaming asshole, may only give you a mild buzz..

Calling it medical they are trying to imply it is a stronger grade and is a product in higher demand from those that use it medcally. Bottom line it is a marketing ploy.

Organic is a way of growing without the use of chemical fert's and newt's. A lot of people think of soil grown as organic and hydro being chemically grown, but this is not what separates organic and non-organic, as you can do organic in either medium you wish to grow in.

Pro's and Con's of organic is mostly a balance of quantity and quality and also a matter of what you feel about smoking some of the chemicals. Some say the taste is better organic but the yields are typically smaller so it can be a choice based on helping you get more quantity out of your grows.

Medical doesn't mean shit. It's the finished product as FDD said. All the "medical" seeds I see from retailers are indicas (for pain I guess), but physical pain is only one of many things different types of cannabis can treat. I use sativas for depression/anxiety and they do me great. Indicas are usually a little heavy for me too early in the day.

its just weed. If its good enough, the medical dispensary will buy it. They pick what they are selling, essentially my home grown is medical quality. Anyones homegrown can be medical if it looks, tastes, smells good enough. I only grow seeds I get out of the sacks I buy from them, so I guess you would call it bagseed. I think the term bagseed sucks, I call my plant by its pheno

Is "your buddies" grow organic?????

So i am a quality over quantity kinda of guy.. Reason why Im hear if ya know what i mean.?..?... anyways organic sounds good to me i mean thats how i grow my tomatoes and shit with organics but i didnt know about O'L Mary so does the bud you grow organicly have a higher thc content? I mean i guess it would since you dont grow as much but wait??? DO you not grow as much or as large of buds(density) with organics??
