The prevalence in Vermont (3.5/1,000 adults) and Rhode Island (13.6/1,000) is appreciably lower than Colorado (28.7/1,000, Fairman et al. It is challenging to even estimate the number of MC patients in the US because not all states require registries but it may be between 440,000 and 650,000 ( Fairman et al. Several nations at least partially condone MC including the Netherlands, Germany, Uruguay, Romania, Chile, the Czech Republic, Colombia, Jamaica, Australia, and Canada ( Collier, 2017 Davenport & Pardo, 2016 Rodriguez, 2017) as well as over-half of the US ( Mead, 2017). The Medical Cannabis (MC) patient population has changed during this period from primarily HIV and cancer ( Corral, 2001) to chronic pain ( Piper et al. Medical marijuana has experienced a substantial reemergence in the past two-decades. Further longitudinal and controlled investigations are necessary to identify the strains that are most efficacious for specific conditions. There is some general consistency across dispensaries in that hybrid strains and C. Many respondents mentioned that they had developed a time-dependent pattern with sativa use during the day and an indica for night-time use and for improving sleep. Strain preferences were highly state/dispensary specific with one-fifth of MC patients in Maine preferring Mother of Berries (M.O.B., 21.5%). ![]() Hybrids were significantly more likely than Cannabis indica strains to have a gustatory title. MC patients (N=455) from New England completed an anonymous online survey about their medical history and strain preferences in Study II. ![]() The goals of this investigation were to determine: 1) how many strains of cannabis are there? 2) which strains are used by Medical Cannabis (MC) patients? and 3) are there any differences in the strains used by patient condition? Study I involved quantifying the number of strains listed in the online database and categorizing these by whether the strain name included a gustatory component. Medical marijuana patients often believe that specific strains are more efficacious at treating their conditions.
