> Just curious, say you had a doctors OK to try it, could you go to one of pot stores near where I live. Can you go in and say, "I want C. Indica?" Or "C. Sativa?" I mean, would they know which variety their stuff was? Or do you have to grow your own to be sure? I never though of it that way, that the two species were different in their effect.

Yes, they are carefully grown from selected seed banks of various types. They have pure indicas, pure sativas, but most are a hybrid of the two in varying balances.

They are very different. Sativa is more uplifting, energizing, euphoric. Good for motivation, fun, socializing, concentrating on a project. Indica is more of a couch potato thing. Calm, serene, couch potato. Sativa can be almost pro-psychotic while Indica is more anti-psychotic. Well, I'm talking longterm use and doses for getting high. For medicinal doses, one does not seek doses high enough to get stoned.

Growing your own is an option, but you need to import specific seeds from Canada or Netherlands where they breed them. And a small investment in equipment. Laws limit the amount of plants at any given time and the amount of smokable herb onhand. The main problem is that even though it is legal by State law with an ongoing doctor's ok, it is not ok by Federal law. So a grower can still get busted.

Wish I lived in California where you can actually find doctors to prescribe it and there are pot pharmacies to purchase from.
