Medical marijuana has been legal in my state for over 20 years, and I've been a licensed grower for 10 of those years. One patient, who suffers with Crohn's disease, has been with me almost from day one, and cannabis strains high in CBD have been almost his sole treatment. Based on my experience with this patient, I would make the following suggestions:

• Avoid corporate products; Amazon and similar sources are not your best medicine. Small businesses foster personal relationships and keep the money local.

• Assuming medical cannabis is available in your state, find a local caregiver who can advise you on the best strains and assist you in working with dosages and other aspects of your treatment.

• Choose an Indica strain high in CBD and low in THC. A google search will help you in finding directories and descriptions.

• If medical cannabis has not yet been legalized in your state, search for hemp growers. Again, the best providers are local and personal.
