The cannabis industry would have you believe that each of these thousands of strains is unique, and that as a patient you really need to try them all in order to find the one perfect for you. However, as a clinician, I’ve found that as far as medicinal cannabis goes, the unique strain doesn’t really matter in terms of medical benefit. How can this be? To start off, we should talk about the difference between a patient’s preferences and…

What is Behind the Spike in Cannabis-Related ER Visits in Colorado?

It is becoming more widely known that the cannabis plant can help suffering people in many ways. That is an awesome fact that is always worth praising. One of the biggest arguments in favor of cannabis is that no one has ever died because of cannabis toxicity, unlike other substances, many of which are federally legal. But just because no one has died from cannabis toxicity doesn't mean that cannabis consumption has always resulted in pleasurable experiences. In some cases, cannabis consumption can result in undesirable experiences, and in rare cases, that undesirable experience could end in a visit to…

A properly grown cannabis plant is going to want to eat, just like every other living thing, and the bigger it gets the more nutrients it will need. Anyone who has gone into an indoor garden center or searched online knows that there is a virtually never-ending supply of nutrient and fertilizer options. But which ones are worthwhile? The Green Flower team asked cannabis cultivation expert…
