Medical cannabis refers to the use of parts of the herb cannabis (also referred to as medical marijuana) as a physician-recommended form of medicine or herbal therapy, or to synthetic forms of specific cannabinoids such as THC as a physician-recommended form of medicine. The Cannabis plant from which the cannabis drug is derived has a long history of medicinal use, with evidence dating back to 2,737 BC. Industrialist pressure groups plying government with their interests , such as the replacement of nylon rope over hemp rope, lead to the criminalization of cannabis in America in 1938. Synthetic cannabinoids such as Marinol and Cesamet are available as prescription drugs in some countries. Studies, some of which are disputed, have shown that medical cannabis has effects in the treatment of nausea, vomiting, premenstrual syndrome, insomnia, lack of appetite, spasticity, neurogenic pain, movement disorders, asthma, many types of cancer, glaucoma, alcohol abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, inflammatory bowel disease, migraines, fibromyalgia, collagen-induced arthritis, and many others. It relieves some symptoms of multiple sclerosis, AIDS, chemotherapy, and spinal cord injuries. While the FDA has never reported deaths resulting directly from cannabis use, the herb has been shown to increase incidents of lung cancer and COPD when smoked in conjunction with cigarettes. These effects can be eliminated by alternative methods of consumption, which include vaporizers and cannabis foods. Safety of Cannabis According to an approved statement from the US Department of Justice in 1988, "Nearly all medicines have toxic, potentially lethal effects. But marijuana is not such a substance. There is no record in the extensive medical literature describing a proven, documented cannabis induced fatality. In practical terms, marijuana cannot induce a lethal response as a result of drug-related toxicity. From January 1997 to June 2005, the FDA reported zero deaths caused by the primary use of marijuana. Through that time period, 279 deaths were reported where marijuana was a possible "concomitant" drug used in conjunction with other drugs at the time of death. In contrast, common FDA-approved drugs which are often prescribed in lieu of marijuana (such as anti-emetics and anti-psychotics), were the primary cause of 10,008 deaths. Sativa Cannabis sativa is an annual herbaceous plant in the Cannabaceae family. Humans have cultivated this herb throughout recorded history as a source of industrial fiber, seed oil, food, drugs and medicine. Each part of the plant is harvested differently, depending on the purpose of its use. Its seed, chiefly used as caged-bird feed, is a valuable source of protein. The flowers (and to a lesser extent the leaves, stems, and seeds) contain psychoactive and physiologically active chemical compounds known as cannabinoids that are consumed for recreational, medicinal, and spiritual purposes. When so used, preparations of flowers (marijuana) and leaves and preparations derived from resinous extract (hashish) are consumed by smoking, vaporizing and oral ingestion. Historically, tinctures, teas, and ointments have also been common preparations. Pharmacology Although the main psychoactive chemical compound in Cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the plant is known to contain about sixty cannabinoids; however, most of these "minor" cannabinoids are only produced in trace amounts. Besides THC, another cannabinoid produced in high concentrations by some plants is cannabidiol (CBD), which is not psychoactive but has recently been shown to block the effect of THC in the nervous system. Differences in the chemical composition of Cannabis varieties may produce different effects in humans. Synthetic THC, called dronabinol, does not contain CBD, CBN, or other cannabinoids, which is one reason why its pharmacological effects may differ significantly from those of natural Cannabis preparations. Blue Widow Budding is slow at first, then it explodes with orange hairs forming thick, rock solid clusters covered in abundant shiny glands, all possessing an unmistakable blue hue to the tops. Good side branching will form dense solid buds with much resin everywhere, in between small thick leaves. Smelling like a strong house cleaner that tingles the nose. It is extremely tasty, with a sweet hash berry flavor that explodes in the lungs. Very strong, nice up, clear high, exhilarating, floats, very visual buzz. It is more powerful, and has a much better high than either Blueberry or White Widow, but is not very heavy. Blue Widow is more powerful and has much better high then Sags Blue Berry and Greenhouse White Widow. Good Strain For: Headaches, Nausea, Appetite Inducing and Mild-Moderate pain relief.	Indica Cannabaceae family. A putative species of the genus Cannabis, it is typically distinguished from Cannabis sativa. Schultes described indica as relatively short, conical, and densely branched, whereas Sativa was described as tall and laxly branched.  Anderson described Indica plants as having short, broad leaflets whereas those of the Sativa species were characterized as relatively long and narrow. Cannabis Indica plants conforming to Schulte's and Anderson's descriptions may have originated from the Hindu Kush mountain range. Because of the often harsh and variable (extremely cold winters, and warm summers) climate of those parts, Indica is well-suited for cultivation in temperate climates. Broad-leafed Cannabis Indica plants in India, Afghanistan and Pakistan are traditionally cultivated for the production of hashish. Pharmacologically, Indica landraces tend to have a higher cannabidiol (CBD) content than Sativa strains. Most commercially available Indica strains have been selected for low levels of CBD (which is not psychoactive), with some users reporting more of a "stoned" feeling and less of a "high" from indica when compared to Sativa. The cannabis Indica high is often referred to as a "body buzz" and has beneficial properties such as pain relief in addition to being an effective treatment for insomnia and an anxiolytic, as opposed to Sativa's more common reports of a "spacey" and mental inebriation, and even, albeit rarely, comprising hallucinations. Differences in the terpenoid content of the essential oil may account for some of these differences in effect. Common Indica strains for recreational or medicinal use include Kush and Northern Lights. A recent genetic analysis included both the narrow-leaflet and wide-leaflet drug "biotypes" under Indica, as well as southern and eastern Asian hemp (fiber/seed) landraces and wild Himalayan populations. Chronic marijuana is a plant for the new age. Developed to be stronger, shinier crystals, and tastier than any other plant. Neville's Haze Neville's Haze has fluffy buds, a very long flowering period and delivers an intense rushing high. Neville's Haze marijuana has a complex aroma that almost smells like a plant other than a cannabis. Neville's Haze combines the original Haze an almost psychedelic tropical Sativa with one quarter Northern Lights a powerful, heavy-hitting Indica. The result is a tall, thick-budding plant with a truly out of this world high. This is not one for the casual smoker! Pineapple Kush Pineapple Kush draws from old-world genetics, a dark green Indica from California. The feeling is calming and brings a centered sensation. It is good for those that prefer a mellow high instead of a heart-racing speedy sensation. Her aroma and flavor is decidedly pineapple, with a subtle sweetness that lingers pleasantly on the tongue. This is not your pot for jet-setting, but for relaxing and enjoying a leisurely meal once you've arrived at your destination. Its genetic makeup suggests medical applications for pain relief and appetite enhancement. Matanuska Tundra (Sagarmatha) Given to Sagarmatha from growers in the Matanuska Valley, this variety revives the majestic, legendary pot of the great Alaskan northland.  This strain has also been known a Matanuska Thunderfuck, but Sagarmatha decided to use the more prudent "Tundra".  As the Alaskan word for "grassland", Tundra makes this variety's name perfectly descriptive - it's grass from Alaska's grasslands! Proven as a great stable breed for crossing, Matanuska Tundra has been widely used in Sagarmatha hybrid program.  The flavor is chocolate, and the stone is a creeper, registering slowly and growing to a full, lethargic stone in the 5-10 minutes after a smoke.  Medical users have had good results alleviating pain with this variety. Cinderella 99 Hybrid - Sativa dominant.  Light green with dark orange-red hairs.  Lots of crystals cover each part of the dense bud.  Does not have a real strong smell until it's broken up.  Smells like a watermelon or that mystery white flavor airhead candy when it's broken up.  Day time use!  Provided an energetic, clear head type of medicinal effect.  Also enhanced mood producing anti-anxiety feeling. Sour Diesel Grade: A++ Type: Hybrid, Mostly Indica Genetics: 91 Chemdawg x Mass Super Skunk/NL Looks: Light green with darker green and orange leaves. Smell: When vaporized it filled my place with a nice sour smell. Love the smell!! Taste: Tastes sour if you vaporize. Effects: When smoked right, you should have have a very strong head and upper body buzz. Too much and you might have trouble walking and fall asleep.

Medical Marijuana and Health Insurance
Given the newness of the Arizona Medical Marijuana program, there are many outstanding questions that eligible patients may have. One of the most prevalent questions remains whether a patient can bill his or her insurance company for the marijuana itself. Several major insurance providers operating in Arizona including Aetna, Humana, Cigna and Health Net have not commented about whether or not they will cover medical marijuana. The reason, at least according to Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Arizona is that it’s not FDA approved. On a federal level, marijuana is ranked as a schedule 1 drug, even though more than dozen states permit the use of medical marijuana. The status of cannabis would have to be changed to a schedule 2 drug in order for insurance companies to be willing to cover it. This issue is not exclusive to Arizona, however. It’s an issue to all states in the US that permit the use of medical marijuana for eligible patients. For now at least, patients are forced to pay for the full cost of medical marijuana out of their own pockets, and only certain methods of payments are accepted. While patients are not presently able to bill their insurance companies, the growing statewide sentiment on this issue may help to push through legislation that changes current policies regarding this topic. More than a dozen states allow their residents to smoke marijuana if they’ve been diagnosed with certain health conditions. Even so, major health insurers don’t treat it like a prescription drug and won’t pay for patients to buy it. Marijuana is cleared for medical use in 15 states  including Arizona, California, Colorado, Michigan and New Jersey and the District of Columbia. As of April 2011, there were 10 states with pending legislation that would legalize medical marijuana, including Illinois, Massachusetts, New York and North Carolina. Still, not one major health insurer covers medical marijuana, and there’s no indication that it will happen anytime soon. That’s because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not given its seal of approval to medical marijuana.
