I'm a new medical user, totally inexperienced with pot, a real novice. So I hope you all will be patient with me and forgive any stupid questions or comments I make. I will post some questions about using it later, but here I will put some questions about getting it, the best kinds (your recommendations), and what it should cost.
I live in the Olympia area, 35 miles south of Tacoma. I have severe Crohn's disease. My dr. gave me an Rx but said she didn't have a clue where to get it (we're both learning, I guess). I did some research and found a place in Tacoma that provides it. I went there and got some information, and three different types of marijuana, but it was kind of confusing and I still have a lot of questions.
I don't know if it would be better to post these questions one at a time. I'll post them as a group here, and if I don't get the info I need from this post, I'll post them separately (I'm trying not to monopolize the forum).
1. As it was explained to me, there are two basic types: Indica and Sativa. Indica is more potent, and gives a stronger, sleepy high. Sativa is lighter and gives more of an "upper" type high. Is this correct?
2. There were some types that were pure "I" (indica), pure "S" (sativa), I/S (combined with more I than S), and S/I (more S than I). There were maybe 20 or 30 different varieties. Several were the same designation (eg, "I") but with different names. I don't understand why this is, what's the difference?
3. What are some good varieties you've used? I got three grams, one each of these types:
> Blue Dream (S)
> Candy Kush (I)
> KC Jones (S/I)
Any info, suggestions, or comments you have on these? I smoked a little of the KC Jones, and a little Candy Kush (different nights of course). Seems like the Kush was stronger, or maybe I inhaled a little more, I dunno...
4. What is a reasonable price to pay? The place I found in Tacoma charges (asks, it's a donation of course) $12/gram, which is about $340/ounce. From what I've read this sounds reasonable compared to what others are paying. But when I read a recipe for MJ cookies, for example, it might call for 3/4 ounce for a batch of cookies. Sounds like pretty expensive cookies! Am I missing something?
5. I'm really confused about the edibles, but maybe I should ask that in another posting, because it might be more detailed and need more room.
Anyway - Sorry for rambling. You can see that I'm a real novice. Any advice or information you can give would be very greatly appreciated. Thanks...
