Strain-Specific Patient Requests

🩺 Medicine First mentioned: Ep. 099

The emerging practice of medical cannabis patients requesting specific genetics or cultivars by name based on their therapeutic needs, rather than simply asking for indica or sativa. Patients were becoming increasingly educated about which specific strains addressed their conditions.

A dispensary operator described patients coming in with lists of five specific genetics they needed for their conditions. This represented a maturation of the medical cannabis patient community and required dispensaries to source specific genetics rather than generic categories. Skunkman and Chimera contributed to discussion of how specific chemical profiles serve specific medical needs.
