Growing at home is often a great option for a medical patient. In California you are legally allowed up to 6 plants at home which can produce a nice crop for personal medical use.

My nephew has been battling schizophrenia since he was 19. He also has bipolar disorder. He's now 30 years old. He's been smoking marijuana since that time to cope with the symptoms. Unfortunately his lungs have become so inflamed, that he's developed a severe case of bronchitis and coughs constantly. Are there any alternative options to smoking, that would be easier on the lungs? Right now he says he cannot literally live without the marijuana, but unless he stops smoking it, he will lose his home this month.\n\n2. During these past 11 years, he's also grown more and more depressed and anxious. He's on many medications, including antipsychotics, and currently added antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds in the past 3-4 months. Can you recommend any types of cannabis that could alleviate the emotional suffering?\n\n3. He lives in Minnesota. If he were approved for medical marijuana through your consultation, would he have to travel to an approved MM state to purchase the marijuana recommended? If so, could he bring that purchase back to Minnesota? Then for each subsequent refill, would that require another trip back to the approved state?\n\n4. In addition to marijuana, would you recommend cognitive behavioral therapy? We're wondering if a mixed approached to care would help. \n\nThank you for your time and knowledge on this serious medical matter.\"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6590-markdown","title":"I live in Federally Funded Housing. ","slug":"i-live-in-federally-funded-housing","content":"\"I have just learned that if management objects to my growing I must dispose of the plants. How does that apply to my medication? Is one method of dosing more acceptable than another, legally. Am I allow to smoke my mmj? The apartments are currently smoking allowed. If they change to non smoking apartments how does that effect me? Will any of this change when recreational marijuana is passed in November?\"\n_____________________\nWell, this is a common question whether you live in Federal housing or not. Legally, marijuana is illegal at the federal level and not at the state level medically. How that translates to your apartment, I would assume it would be frowned upon to grow or smoke. \n\nIn a normal apartment situation, yes you can smoke marijuana in your building. This is a quote from a question that I answered some time ago:\n\n\"You can smoke unless your landlord specifies otherwise. If your landlord specifies otherwise, then no you may not. He or she has the right under the federal Fair Housing Act to deny your smoking within his building. Although it is legal in CA to obtain medical marijuana with a doctor's recommendation, the federal Fair Housing Act operates under federal jurisdiction, and as we know, cannabis is not legal on the federal level. From what I understand, it is possible to be evicted for smoking marijuana in an apartment, depending on the rules of your building or how your landlord might react.\"\n\nIf the legalization vote happens in November you are still in a federally funded building, and it is illegal at the federal level regardless of the vote. The best thing to do is to ask the person in charge what the policy is regarding cannabis on site. \n\nI am not a lawyer and this represents my opinion based on the research I did. I hope this helps.\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nI would second what Pamela has said. Even if Prob 64 passes in November, it still remains that any place where smoking is illegal, it would be illegal to smoke cannabis, for recreation or medicinal use. Your landlord makes the determination to make smoking of any kind legal or illegal.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6566-markdown","title":"How does an artisanal strain grown with a Flow Kana farmer differ from generic industrial grown bud?","slug":"how-does-an-artisanal-strain-grown-with-a-flow-kana-farmer-differ-from-generic-industrial-grown-bud","content":"\"Is this like the difference between wines? Will I notice a difference in flavor and experience, say if I had an OG Kush from an industrial farm vs. OG Kush from a Flow Kana farmer? I'm trying to understand the difference.\"\n_____________________\nTerroir is the French term that describes the unique attributes that occur in wine based on soil, slope, aspect (South, East,  etc), fertilizer choices, harvest date, and myriad other factors.   We would go as far as to include the intention and energy that the individual farmer puts into the medicine.  Our farmers use ecologically sound practices and do not use chemical fertilizers or pesticides.  As in most industrial agriculture, large scale cannabis cultivation often includes the use of chemicals and poisons.  FlowKana farmers utilize Integrated Pest Management strategies and natural processes to create unique results.  A chardonnay grape grown in different locations will produce subtle differences.   OG Kush grown in places by different farmers will do the same; still identifiable as OG, but with subtle variations in flavor,  structure, and effects.\n\namberhappyday\n_____________________\nThis portal has had such insightful questions, but I think this one takes the cake! You kind of hit the nail on the head, likening the differences to those in wine. For better, or for worse, policy makers, industry stakeholders and patients alike, have been drawing a lot of comparisons between cannabis and alcohol, especially as we move towards a more tightly regulated marketplace. \n\nCannabis is particularly similar to wine, in that there are many subtle differences that can be easily expressed and distinguished by consumers. The cannabis plant is cultivated, harvested, processed and stored in so many different ways that there is incredible variety to the flower or hashish that makes it to the consumer. Through the decades of senseless prohibition and the devastating effects of the drug war, cannabis cultivation has been twisted and contorted into a small dark closet of our world, but with changing regulations and the guiding efforts of groups like Flow Kana, cannabis farmers are finally going to see the light.\n\nWhile conventional agriculture would have you think all tomatoes are the same; this is far from the truth. The booming organic food industry, and the overwhelming success of company's like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's should give you some insight into just how wrong conventional Ag is. Now it might be hard to imagine, but there is a significantly more stringent system of farming that far exceeds the standards of today's organic programs, and it is that standard that Flow Kana demands from it's farmers.\n\nThis nature focused, biologically driven approach to farming, practiced by all Flow Kana farmers, works symbiotically with the intrinsic functions of the plant, allowing the plant's truest expression to be revealed. When I say truest expression, I mean in all forms, but most notably, and desirably, in the smell, taste and aroma. These delicate subtle notes that delight the senses are produced by a complex, volatile group of essential oils, called terpenes, that are capable of a myriad of medicinal and therapeutic effects. The natural farming systems employed by Flow Kana farmers enhance the oil production of their flowers, making them stronger smelling, tasting, and in many cases, slightly more potent. The subtle flavor notes present in organic, heirloom vegetables, are the very same differences Flow Kana farmers are able to coax out of their craft, small batch cannabis flowers. \n\nIn short, the differences between industrial OG Kush and Flow Kana OG Kush is intention. Industrial products are always focused on volume and economies of scale, while Flow Kana farmers focus on quality and sustainability. The farmers who give back to the land, see a cyclical return back from the earth; in this case that return is the beautiful cannabis inflorescence. Flow Kana has dedicated themselves to working with the farmers who've nurtured the strongest relationships with the earth and through this amazing synergy something special is forming, we'd love to have you along for the ride!\n\nmicah\n_____________________\nThere isn't any industrial grown flowers in our industry yet. If there was any industrial grown flowers in California today it would be Flow Canna. You see Flow Canna is sun grown which means outdoor grown . When the industry becomes more mainstream you will see fields of outdoor marijuana everywhere . Like vineyards , also like vineyards produce grapes to be processed into wine outdoor cannabis will be used to make oil for vape pens, edibles and so on. Flowers that are sold in their whole form will most likely be grown indoor or in advanced greenhouse. The reason for this is cannabis flowers are very oily and sticky. Any dust , mold spores , mites or even ash from forest fires will stick to the buds. Cannabis flowers are impossible to clean (believe me I have tried several products in my 20 years of cultivating) so the only way to produce clean high end organic pesticide free flowers is to cultivate indoor where the master grower has full control of the crop. For a complete range of our strictly indoor, hydroponic, organic and vegan flowers please follow this link https://greendoorwest.com/collections/all-flowers\n\nFinally let me suggest you compare our OG Kush strains (indoor hydro genetics we have stabilized over 20+ years) ) versus any (and I mean any) outdoor strains...the proof is in the pudding :) Yes you'll be able to taste the difference like thousands of patients in Southern California already have!\n\nclaude","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6559-markdown","title":"I hear a lot of debate about consuming cannabis grown indoors versus outdoors.","slug":"i-hear-a-lot-of-debate-about-consuming-cannabis-grown-indoors-versus-outdoors","content":"\"What is the simplest way the understand the difference?\"\n_____________________\nThis is a very complex question, but I'll try to be concise... There are two basic schools of thought on cultivating plants; chemical or biological. Outdoor cannabis farmers tend to embrace a biologically intensive system, where indoor farmers tend to keep a sterile environment, as free of microbiology as possible, and embrace a more chemistry-oriented approach. Both systems have their strengths and weaknesses, but indoor cannabis always has a slightly cleaner more vibrant aesthetic, mainly because it hasn't been subjected to the harsh forces of nature. That being said, outdoor cannabis farming is infinitely more sustainable and tends to require less pest/fungicide use, leading to a safer more enjoyable product. For me, indoor is more about form, and outdoor is more about function, but I've grown some pretty amazing looking cannabis under the sun. I'll always be a sungrown guy, indoor is just a bit unnatural for me...\n\nmicah","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11534-markdown","title":"CanPatients with Auto immune problems benefit from Organically grown Cannabis?@flowkana","slug":"canpatients-with-auto-immune-problems-benefit-from-organically-grown-cannabis-flowkana","content":"\n_____________________\nI am not a doctor but I would say that this question can have several answers. First, I think that anyone who smokes flower should try to consume the purest, best quality cannabis possible. This is not always the case, which is why people seek out growers like Flow Kana or Bloom Farms in CA. They work with farmers that deliver high grade, pesticide free, largely 'organic' (technically not allowed to say that with cannabis) flower.\n\nWhen we talk to labs across the state they tell us consistently that they find pesticides and really nasty chemicals, some that are even neuro toxins within the flowers they test. Add to that funghi and molds, you could be inhaling a lot of nasty stuff.\n\nSo, yes, as a person with a compromised immune system it is always best to choose a high quality bud from reputable farmers and dispensaries. There should be adequate lab testing available too.\n\nThe other question about auto immune, I will point you to some articles we have posted so you can see what people and research have to say.\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5797aa318536ac0007d35e25/can-cannabis-help-autoimmune-disease-sufferers\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/57169cf805483f000c00008b/constance-finleys-story-treating-my-autoimmune-disease-with-cannabis-oil\nI am not a doctor, this represents my opinion based on my experience and research.

I think many would agree that meals taste better when you make them yourself. It's the same premise.\n\nOne of the things that makes producing your own cannabis, from start to finish, more of a unique process is the post-cultivation aspect. Curing and trimming is as important as the growing process and if not done right, a beautiful cannabis plant can be ruined before its ready to be consumed. When you buy your cannabis from a provider that works closely with the farmer and that provides transparency throughout the system, you get the benefit of knowing where your cannabis comes from (as if you grew it yourself) and you also get the benefit of buying something that was produced by an expert.\n\nadams","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":12,"numPages":4,"currentPage":2,"id":5300,"name":"Growing","slug":"growing","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
