Weed smokers also love THC with seed banks now bringing out higher THC levels than ever such as Anesia Seeds with THC levels of 37%. THC cannabis is the most popular cannabinoid and it is still the most well-known of the cannabis plant’s components. It’s the reason we feel elevated, lifted, high when smoking weed. THC can be so potent so when smoking or eating THC weed be careful as it can change your head space completely.
THC has a lot of medicinal purposes it can relieve pain and anti-nausea properties also THC in an Indica provides a wonderful sleep aid for those cannabis lovers looking to doze off quickly. THC also can act as an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and even an antioxidant that reduces the signs of aging, so forget Botox use THC!
THC is a true lifesaver for some people as those with HIV/AIDS or with cancer symptoms and side effects are able to eat and sleep once again which is life changing for anyone suffering from a medical illness.

What type of cannabis strain is your favourite?
Blue dream really helps me get through the day same with Durban poison. They are my must have strains
Let’s take a look at Blue Dream and Durban Poison to see their effects.
Blue Dream Feminised Cannabis Seeds by Humboldt Seeds Organisation
From beginners to advanced, this Feminised grower friendly cannabis plant is renowned for its strength, vigor and immense resinous size.
Blue Dream cannabis plant is accompanied by beautiful shades of blue with long internodal sites make for huge tops with rock hard cannabis buds all the way to the bottom. This Feminised cannabis plant produces sweet, tangy Indica blueberry overtones complimented with pepper, citrus and earthy undertones provided by the Super Silver Haze.
Blue Dream Feminised cannabis plant is ideal for the active person, with a euphoric high energy uplifting effect, followed with feelings of relaxation with THC levels up to 20%.
Grown in DWC under 600w and scrogged. GH nutes with modified Lucus Formula. Very vigorous growth in veg. Bushy sativa dominate. She tried to hog the whole screen(4x4) for herself. No deficiency issues and she took everything I threw at her. Finished in about 65 days from 12/12 but I had to wait until day 72 to harvest. Dried and manicured it came out to 222g. Plus about 7g taste testers and 10g popcorn.
Smell - Very fruity up to 3 weeks in flower then turned very hazy/musky until the end. Jarred for a couple weeks and not much of a smell, just a hint of dried fruit coming on.
Taste - 2-week cure, smooth on the inhale and fruity smoke on the exhale. Very good flavor. My guess is more cure time will only improve the taste which is really good right now.
Appearance - Very nice looking. Good sized buds with good colors. Tight dense buds. Not super frosty like a good white widow but plenty frosty.
The High- Rolled up a tiny .25g joint. After a few pulls you start to feel it right behind the eyes and it fills your head up. Within a few minutes you feel it traveling down your body and puts your body in a deeply relaxing state. Even in this state your mind remains very clear and up. At this point it is up to you to do what you want to do. If you want to get up and tackle some projects BD will give you the motivation and energy to complete those tasks. If you want to sit and veg out BD will allow you to do that with no worries. No couchlock or burn out with all day smoking. Very good daytime smoke. The initial high lasts for about 2 hours but what I liked even more was that the motivational/inspirational aspects of this medicine last for several hours more.
Summation- Easy grow with excellent yields I would 100% grow again and again. Here I have a photo of when Blue Dream was harvested.
Now let’s take a look at Durban Poison by Dutch Passion.
Dutch Passion Durban Poison is a 100% Sativa imported from South Africa. It can be grown indoors or outdoors but will grow tall and so will need to be trimmed. Expect high yields of big buds that are long with lots of resin
Durban Poison has a wonderful aroma and sweet liquorice or anise flavour giving an uplifting high.
In the beginning I want to thank Dutch Passion for amazing genetics.
Green Buzz Liquids for amazing 100% organic nutrients, plants are very fond of these fertilizers, the taste and smell turned to great.
Thanks to Mars Hydro for amazing grow light Mars Hydro TSW2000.This year, the first thing I’ll start the diary with this light separately, the result is just great, and still spends little energy and shines brighter than 400 watts Hid.
Durban Poison! What can I say about? Probably only one thing, LEGEND
Durban Poison classic amazing sativa strain. I got very beautiful purple pheno. Smell of this plant weak, reminds some medicinal herbs, as well as the smell of anise and licorice. delicious if you smoke through a vaporizer.
The effect is quite strong, clean, energetic sativa, about the effect I would like to write in detail, but for this I need to smoke and write what I feel, so to be continued...
I really liked genetics from Dutch Passion, in the new year, I will definitely try to grow more strains from this amazing old school seedbank.
Let’s take a look at this amazing weed seed harvested.
Both of these incredible weed seeds are available to buy at Discount Cannabis Seeds and now you can see why this person life has changed around from smoking medical marijuana.
What type of marijuana do you smoke THC / CBD?
I often smoke and when I do, during day I enjoy a nice Sativa. Keeps me going and not so lazy feeling. I can get my chores done and the pain in my hands is medicated enough so I don't worry or feel it. At night I switch to Indica for the sedation. That really is crucial for my muscles to relax enough around my damaged nerves. CBD I take in vape form when I am super anxious.
What is the medical reason you smoke weed?
At a young age I had suffered from breaking bones and concussions due to extreme sports like skateboarding, aggressive inline skating, snowboarding all at competition level. I've broken many many bones and the joint damage was felt early on only increasing with age. In my early 20s my optometrist said I was getting glaucoma in my right eye and I was baffled. I found that if I did not medicate daily than I would get pressure in eyes.
Do you find smoking weed has helped you?
Absolutely. The help with pain is amazing. Even using infused ointments rubbed into pain spots really helps. I'm a true believer because I've felt the difference in what pain medicine does vs Cannabis use for pain management. I'm a survivor of Norco and alcohol abuse because of medical Cannabis. I'm just glad to be able to legally grow my own, infuse my own and medicate with my own.
Is there a specific seed bank you use or strain?
I have collected seeds from a few different breeders. I have also created my own 2 strains for in house growing. I think it is important to collect the strains we can in order to preserve the medical benefits. I do love Girl Scout Cookies cannabis strain which is a top favourite of mine.
Let’s take a look at Girl Scout Cookies by Original Sensible Seeds and see what incredible effects they can have when smoked. Don’t forget GCS is always available at the cheapest online store for cannabis seeds Discount Cannabis Seeds.
With colossal THC potency levels of over 22% and incredible flavours, it's no wonder Girl Scout Cookies Feminised from Original Sensible Seeds is one of the most popular varieties of marijuana available on the planet today.
With a spicy, fruity flavour the Girl Scout Cookies Feminised effect is well-balanced, evolving into a drowsiness of pure relaxation and well-being. Pain and depression will quickly dissolve away and those suffering from nausea and eating disorders will also discover the benefits of Girl Scout Cookies Feminised.
Not only is this cannabis strain one of the hottest of all times, Girl Scout Cookies Feminised is also one of the sweetest.
Let’s take a look at my next interview with another medical marijuana smoker and why this helps their life for the better.
What type of Marijuana do you smoke THC or CBD?
I use THC and CBD, both daily, for chronic back and joint pain, and muscle spasticity. I smoke high THC flowers, through a water pipe and rolled cones. My wife makes edibles for Michigan patients, so I have a steady supply of edibles that I use before bed each night to get to sleep.
Do you find smoking weed has helped your life for the better?
I dab shatter and HCFSE dipped in CBD isolate for maximum pain relief and muscle relaxation. I would be in near-constant agony if not for Cannabis, and it makes getting through my day more bearable mentally. My favorite medical strains are hybrids because their balanced effect helps me physically and mentally. CBD does a lot to reduce anxiety and also helps with insomnia.
What type of cannabis strain is your favourite?
I tend to select strains based on their lineage and past success using related strains. Some favorites are Cherry Pie, Birthday Cake, Gelato, and Chem OG.
Let’s take a look at Chem OG by Female Seeds and see what this could do for you medically.
This exciting American OG cannabis strain is the result of crossing an OG Kush mother with a highly potent original Chemdawg father. The smoke is smooth and delicate, she charms with an intense combination of flavors. One can clearly distinguish pleasant notes of lemon, pine, earthy and a woody flavour thanks to its OG Kush origins.
The Chemdawg father gives the strain a very distinctive, prominent sour taste of with that typical diesel/fuel taste. The effect is intense, long lasting and combines two different but balanced highs. At first an uplifting and stimulating high, which then develops into a more Indica effect developing a more sedative effect. Even though is not a complete couch-locker strain, it still helps you relax and alleviate stress.
Growing and smoking review of Chem OG
Chem OG was a really typical full Indica plant from the start. Sprouted strong came out real quick got its smart proteins at the start and grew pretty darn quick. Only got three weeks of veg in, took training really well, then started smelling really citrussy like Indicas do with that depth of smell idk if that makes sense. Put out it's flower in the Christmas tress way plenty of side shoots even though I didn’t do much training. Smelled like lemons and gasoline at some point. Harvest came much quicker than I thought bottom of week 11 incredible effort by the Chem OG, harvested at 30%.
Smoke is really potent but a bit harsh, if I had known to expect 11 weeks of growing I would have started my flush sooner or moved to additives but hey, it's there but nothing a bit more curing won’t get rid of, plus there's the extract to look forward to :
Taste is really out there though, Indica Indica Indica citrus woody flavors (which I’ve grown to like since the six shooter) and thick potent smoke. Nugs are crazy dense. I would grow over and over again.
What type of Marijuana do you smoke THC or CBD?
I smoke both THC and CBD for medical purposes.
Do you find smoking weed has helped your life for the better?
I have diabetes and restless leg syndrome. I also had major spine surgery a few years ago. I am prescribed prescription medication like gabapentin and opiates, but these medications cause significant negative side effects for me and therefore worsen my situation. I smoke weed because it helps to lower my blood sugars for my diabetes. It soothes my discomfort with my restless leg syndrome and helps me feel calm to sleep.
Weed has changed my life for the good. Weed allows me to live a fulfilled lifestyle. It has also helped me lose weight. CBD is excellent for my anxiety too; it helps you to feel calm and relaxed.
What is your favourite seed store and also cannabis strain?
I use yourself to buy my seeds as I have been scammed in the past and I feel 100% confident that your seed bank is trustworthy and loyal with excellent customer service skills.
Some of my favourite strains to smoke are the gassy and fruity strains probably my number one strain is Blackberry Gum. Seed Stockers is my new go too thanks to you guys!

Let’s take a look at this weed seed once flowered!
And our final interview with a medical marijuana smoker.
Do you smoke THC or CBD cannabis strains?
I have always smoked THC cannabis, but will be trying a CBD rich strain soon,.
Why did you start smoking weed for medical reasons?
The reasons for smoking medical cannabis are, ADHD, Sativas help me concentrate for longer periods of time. Sleep issues since childhood, a good Indica dominant strain helps me sleep for a full 7/8 hours a night, whereas without cannabis I struggle to get 4/5 hours broken sleep
Pain, stress and depression are also relieved by smoking a mixture of Indica and sativa plants.
Has smoking weed changed your life for the better?
Smoking cannabis has helped my life tremendously, or a short period of my life I tried pharmaceutical drugs to help me in life, but found I was living in a bubble from them and quickly went back to self-medicating with cannabis.
What are your favourite cannabis strains?
A few strains have been really good for me, Glueberry OG by Dutch passion was great for my depression, and peyote cookies by Barneys farm was really good for sleeping and pain for me.
Let’s take a look at Glueberry OG and Peyote Cookies.
Barney’s Farm Peyote Cookies Feminised originates from crossing Peyote Purple and their Legendary Cookies Kush.
A comprehensive selection and back-crossing process isolated the very best qualities of both parents into one cannabis strain. The blooming plant showcases amazing purple and red colors. The smoke provides a very intense guava and earthy flavour with pleasant notes of vanilla and coffee and a powerful, relaxing and long-lasting effect.
This is one of my favourites so far she’s got speed in flower ,juicy dense purple and silverish buds , a nice smooth earthy fruity taste like cookies with a juicy hint and a great smoke both head and body in my opinion it relaxes you a lot but doesn’t stop you completely from doing anything it relaxes you as you do them and your mind just drifts a little it also makes me hungry not necessarily munchies but hungry would recommend to all as it’s easy to grow and repays in nice quality buds.
WOW is all I got to say! rip a bud in half in 1 room and you can smell it right through the house! easy 2-3-hour stone. this has really surpassed all my expectations! I was aiming for 3 oz and I ended up with 4.6 oz, this is weed that I would rate as 17 out of 10!! dam strength for sure
So this was my first ever go at growing, it has been an awesome experience which was helped by a very easy to grow strain! I made a few errors along the way, heavy defoliation 3 times in flowering as I didn't really have the space for 4 plants (60x60cm) overwatering/underwatering/over feeding, cheap china LED, rootbound, cold temps etc. etc. you all know how it is.. we all learn from our mistakes!!
The strain itself is very sticky, which made trimming fun, think I had it stuck to my face n everywhere else ha-ha! it smells super strong and pungent with a bit of fruit n a hint of diesel. it tastes so smooth with a fruity kushy taste! the buds may not be huge but they are very dense, I was surprised at the weight of some of the branches when trimming! smoking it - starts of a strong heady high that then develops into a long relaxing stone! I have smoked a lot of bush and its up there with the best of them this shizz packs a punch!
Let’s take a look at Peyote Cookies flowered.
Now let’s take a look at Glueberry OG By Dutch Passion.
Glueberry O.G. is a result of combining two outstanding strains OG Kush and Gorilla Glue and the classic Blueberry. The result is an Indica-sativa hybrid with good yields, flavors and effects.
These parents ensured the connoisseur taste and high of this amazing cannabis strain. Another great USA variety that probably most growers have sampled by now is one of the many variations of OG Kush.
The two indoor strains were relatively easy to grow, and buds were quality as far as trichome, resin, and terpene production.
The smoke is interesting, gives you a wave of comfort and a bit of euphoria, definitely numbs the mind a bit, not an active high. Just as well, it contains the rare THC derivative THC-V which is known to suppress appetite instead of adding to it. This can be a pro or a con depending on how you look at it, most people expect the *munchies* after smoking some high grade herb, while this strain delivers the exact opposite, to where you don't feel like eating at all.
Cotton mouth also sets in quick with the Glueberry, also a bit of a con, but she provided plenty for me, and I appreciate it very much.
As you can see from reading real people’s interviews marijuana can change lives for the better and the cannabis plant can ease so much pain and suffering throughout the world, yet as it is considered an illegal drug in many countries research into the true potential of healing has not been fully developed.
Despite this, the use of cannabis for medicinal and therapeutic purposes has grown, mostly for the relief of symptoms and the side effects of certain illnesses.
Medical cannabis refers to using the whole cannabis plant, or the plant’s basic extracts, for the treatment of various ailments or conditions.
Cannabis has been shown to contain medically beneficial levels of differing cannabinoids, active compounds found in the cannabis plant.
Cannabis contains over 85 cannabinoids, some of which have been found to have therapeutically beneficial properties. The two major cannabinoids found in cannabis that academic and scientific studies demonstrate to possess the most therapeutic properties are cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) though a number of other cannabinoids, like cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabinol (CBN) also exhibit health benefits.
Cannabis can be used for medicine in lots of different ways and here is some.
There is a lot of controversy surrounding the use of Cannabis Sativa for both medical and recreational purposes. Most countries around the world have harsh laws that ban the recreational use of cannabis. However, some countries allow for the planting of marijuana for medical reasons, while banning its recreational use.
We have all heard about the supposed benefits of using cannabis seeds. Those who push for the use of these seeds have reported that they can be used as medicine, leading to numerous health benefits. It can be hard to know whether to believe the hype around the medicinal properties of this plant. Relying on scientific results is one of the best ways to decide whether the seeds can improve your health or not.
They’re an Excellent Source of Nutrition
Hemp, one of the plants under the species name Cannabis Sativa, has seeds that make for an excellent source of nutrition. Research shows that hemp seeds contain more than 30 percent of healthy fats. Some of the essential fatty acids found in these seeds are linoleic acid and alpha-linoleic acid, which is considered to be the plant-based omega-3. Using the seeds will also help you to benefit from the gamma-linoleic acid which promotes the growth of cells, muscles and organs while supporting normal body functions.
Anxiety, Depression and Insomnia
Cannabis seeds can also help greatly in dealing with anxiety and depression. This is very helpful since they help in relaxing the body as well as muscles. With these properties, the seeds can also be used to help control nervous, muscular spasms and mobility problems. The relaxation that the compounds in the seeds bring can go a long way in helping to reduce the frequency of epileptic fits.
Those who experience difficulties falling asleep can benefit from using Cannabis Seeds. The seeds help to reduce the anxiety we experience just before sleeping, allowing the user to enjoy deep and relaxing sleep.
Skin Health
Deficiency of fatty acids in the body can manifest in many ways, the most common being thick patches of skin, cracked heels and a host of other skin problems. Since one cannabis seed contains high amounts of fatty acids, using the seeds will alleviate symptoms associated with dermatitis and relieve the effects of eczema.
Heart Health
Cannabis seeds contain a huge number of compounds that are good for a healthy heart. One of these compounds, amino acid arginine, is known to enhance blood flow in the body and maintain the optimal blood pressure. Nitric oxide, which derives from the compounds found in these seeds, is also responsible for helping body muscles to relax and dilate blood vessels so as to allow for free flow of blood.
The seeds can help to significantly reduce blood pressure, reduce the chances of blood clots and speed up recovery after a heart attack.
Plant-Based Protein
Although high-quality animal sources are remarkable for proteins, cannabis seeds are a great option for vegetarians. Two to three tablespoons of the seeds will supply you with around 11 grams of proteins. You will also get amino acids such as cysteine, methionine and lysine.
Digestion
Whole cannabis seeds can be used to support digestive health, thanks to the soluble and insoluble fibre contained in the seeds. Soluble fibre can dissolve easily, a factor that slows down digestions and makes you feel full for longer. This will go a long way in helping you to deal with weight control. Insoluble fibre is incapable of dissolving, making it a great product for adding bulk to stool. The resultant effect of this is that food moves seamlessly through the digestive tract and is eliminated healthily.
PMS and Menopause Symptoms
The gamma-linoleic acid contained in these seeds is known for reducing the effects of a hormone known as prolactin. The hormone prolactin is associated with the physical and emotional symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and menopause. These seeds can help to reduce symptoms during these times.
Helps to Prevent Cancer
Cannabis is said to promote good general health and has been found to help in the prevention of tumours and various forms of cancer. According to some studies, using cannabis seeds will reduce the risk of developing colon and intestinal cancers. The medicinal properties of the seeds make it a great substance for relieving pain during chemotherapy.
With the wide array of benefits cannabis seeds can have on the body, it’s clear to see that their use in medicine should be considered and used.
Medical marijuana is a form of relief that those suffering from a severe medical condition can use on their own to reduce their discomfort and in this blog you can see how marijuana has done this.
If you are looking for another way to stop your medical conditions and improve your lifestyle then I hope in this blog you have found your answer.
