I was talking to a patient today and was told that they truly felt thankful to have cannabis in their life. They said their family had noticed a tremendous difference in their overall well being and general mood since incorporating cannabis into their medical regiment. They had reduced their opioid intake by 50% to date and that may continue to decrease as we continue working together to find the right strains that work for this specific patients physiology.
The last strain I had dispensed was a nice dense trichome covered Blueberry strain harvested at about 5-10% amber trichome coverage. This coverage of amber trichomes provides a more cerebral head high. If I had let the amber trichome percentage increase to 50-60% at harvest it would have produced a more couch lock, body high. Which we do at times as well.
The patient really enjoyed the Blueberry and we're now testing a couple other sativa/early harvested strains to lock in the ones that suit them best for their day-time usage.
It is truly wonderful to hear from patients the benefits they receive from cannabis.
