What type of Marijuana Products can you buy?

It was legalized in Missouri as Medical Marijuana. Since then, there have been many options for it. Why are there so few options? It is very similar to prescription drugs in that it can be used for medical purposes. One size doesn't fit all. Let's take a closer look at the different types of medical cannabis and how patients may get the most out of them.

The Flower

It is commonly known as a dried, cultivated cannabis plant flower. It can be used to make a pipe, or rolled into marijuana and smoked. The cannabis plant's strain and the methods it was cultivated and cured are more than just the flower. These differences result in different outcomes for patients who choose to smoke marijuana.

There are downsides and upsides to medical marijuana flower. One advantage is the quick release of cannabinoids into your bloodstream. The percentage that cannabinoids are released into your system is higher than when you consume them by other means.

Smoking marijuana has its downsides. For example, you will need special equipment such a bong, pipe, roll paper, or bong. The negative effects that can be experienced when smoking cannabis are not as long-lasting as those of other forms. This is something that medical marijuana patients need to consider.

There are many negative aspects to this type of medical marijuana. Most edibles are made with sugar (or a lot) and artificial flavorings. These are less suitable for diabetics and patients who are allergic or sensitive to artificial ingredients. The diet can contain additional calories, but this is only for those who can tolerate the ingredients. Patients who have qualified medical conditions and need more immediate benefits from the edibles may also be interested in extending the effectiveness time.

Tictures and Patches

A tincture (or salve) may be the preferred method for medical marijuana use. These tinctures may be used directly on the spot of the problem. They also have a measured dosage so patients know exactly how much CBD they are getting.

While salves, tinctures and tintures can be used as frequently as necessary to maintain symptoms under control, initial results can take upto 45 minutes. This treatment is not considered fattening. Blood sugar will remain unchanged.

You can apply patches to cannabinoids in the bloodstream at any time. However it takes patients between 30 and 45 minutes to feel the effects. The patch can then be easily removed if the patient no more requires it.
