Medical strains are a specialized type of cannabis although technically all cannabis has therapeutic potential. Still, strains with a high CBD percentage are known to be favourites of patients on the lookout for natural medicine.

Medical strains: gateway to legalization

The medical potential of cannabis has always been there. Cannabis has been used in many cultures for over centuries for many other applications then getting high (although we don't hate on it.) For many, this therapeutic potential is actually one of the reasons the beautiful plant got banned, with Big Pharma starting to gain ground in the 20th century.

Even after years of propaganda, it was realized that cannabis possesses quite some beneficial properties. Especially the early experiments with battling nausea during chemotherapy and improving appetite during HIV cures proved to be revolutionary.

What are medical cannabis strains?

One answer would be: all cannabis strains. The interplay of many chemicals in cannabis, the entourage effect, is supposed to give cannabis it's full potential. Even so, the cannabinoid CBD (cannabidiol) has become something of a special case. Since its discovery, CBD has become known as the part of cannabis that sometimes works as an antagonist of THC (the chemical that gets you high). Growers used to want to suppress CBD to make weed as potent as possible. These days we know better and specialized strains try to balance the CBD - THC ratio. This way the therapeutic potential of CBD is fully used. Besides, many users of medical cannabis aren't fond of being stoned all day. CBD-rich strains help soften the high.

There are some specialized medical strain companies like CBD Crew and Medical Seeds. Although these days other seed banks are developing their own interpretation of the therapeutic strain. In this category, you will find all the medical cannabis seeds Azarius sells.
