Know Your Nutrients 

It's important to remember that cannabis needs a lot of nutrients to grow, and these must be added by the grower. There is no quick-fix for great marijuana. It takes a lot of time, effort, and planning. So, the NPK comes in when growers need to feed their plants and look to buy them. The NPK can be found on the bottle, and there should also be a ratio describing the formula.

When it comes to making the right decision, you need to know what you want. Based on this, you can then decide which strain will better serve you. Here are the main medical differences between the Sativa and Indica cannabis strains:

Smoking with asthma may seem like an oxymoron of sorts. Asthma is a chronic respiratory illness which causes narrowed passageways and can lead to severe coughing, shortness of breath, and extreme cases, even death. While many patients have continued to use the tried-and-true methods of prescribed inhalers containing corticosteroid medications, many doctors are now questioning whether cannabinoids wouldn’t be a better option, as they do not have the potential side effects that corticosteroids do, such as depression, anxiety, and high blood pressure.

Benefits of THC

So, what are the benefits of THC for asthma sufferers? As it turns out, cannabis has the ability to open up airways, and make respiratory passages much less inflamed. This is the opposite of what the effects of tobacco are, as tobacco will restrict and narrow the passageways even further. However, is it a good idea to smoke weed in order to gain its positive effects for this illness, or should other forms of treatment be considered? There are different options available such as vaporizers which could help serve as a potential replacement for inhalers over the long-term. This would provide patients the ability to have a mobile form of treatment readily available, without having to worry about the serious side effects that can occur with corticosteroids.

In lay-man’s terms, we normally operate in an alert, active state. When smoking weed, we transition into a much more open and relaxed state. Our defenses are lowered and we are far more likely to find even the simplest things absolutely hilarious.
