Medical Vs Recreational Marijuana

There are various differences between the two different types of marijuana.
These main differences include:

Cannabinoid Content

Medical marijuana usually contains a higher CBD content than recreational. This means when you’re taking it, you don’t feel the “high” that’s associated with the recreational variety. Recreational weed typically contains a higher THC content than medical. This means people usually take this variety more for the “high” effect than the benefits.

Medical Prescription

You need a qualifying condition to get a recommendation for medical marijuana. This is usually followed by a prescribed therapy.

Requirements for Cannabis associations

You don’t need a recommendation for recreational use of weed. You can go to a weed dispensary (US) or a marijuana association (EU) if legal and you’re over the required minimum age.

Indica Vs Sativa

The differences

indica cannabis plant

Indica has the following effects:

  • Makes you feel heavy
  • Mainly affects your body
  • Contains more CBD
  • Has a dense and short plant structure
Sativa Cannabis Plant

Sativa, on the other hand, impacts you in these ways:

  • Makes you feel euphoric
  • Mainly affects your mind
  • Contains more THC
  • Has a skinny and tall plant structure

Recreational weed usually has a higher quantity of THC than the medical variety, as this is what provides users a “high”. Typically, users of medical marijuana will prefer the Indica, which is effective for anxiety, migraines and overall pain relief, whereas recreational users go for the Sativa.
