Although the MJ movement is gaining steam, I think we (growers and smokers) could do ourselves, people who really need the medicine and the whole push for legalization a major favor by coming up with more appropriate strain names than dogshit, ak-47, devils dog and LSD... I just don't see hospitals and most doctors eager to write dogshit haze on a prescription pad. It's all fun but I think a higher level of sophistication is needed.

Well, let's just push for a higher level of understanding--
Doctors write "Recommendations" to use cannabis for whatever Medical reason--
They would not be writing "Prescriptions" for specific strains--
never been a fan of branding weed.
who knows where it originated, trust in the name game is marginal at best.

Sorry bro, but that is simply not true-- All cannabis is medical...no matter which delivery system you choose--
Some ppl can't do strong edibles, as their individual body may prefer the instant effects from smoking, rather than eating--
My buddy for instance, (RIP) had MS...and tho he liked edibles, when he was having a real bad day...nothing would help him like smoking did-- It was almost instant and extreme!! He would go from incomprehensible to speaking almost normally...and regain much more control of his body--
So, even tho smoking your medicine may have the stigma of "Smoking" on it...it is still "Medicinal"--

you are absolutely right. I must have been high when i wrote that
Kmk yes I thought of that too and you're right. I guess unfortunately, marijuana "drug" culture has developed largely the way it has because of prohibition. Trust me, I love my pineapple chunk, I love trippy glass pipes and I will forever be a deadhead. So I get it. Many other people don't and are really turned off by it. Remember, that most of America is a very Christian country and a bit on the conservative side. I know Christians smoke weed too, I actually heard Pat Robertson making a case for it. I'm just sayin I think as we move forward, a more mature approach to MJ should be fostered. A little less " hey bruh, lets cruise to my pad and vape this killer dogshit skunk funk I just scored, and totally jam on the grand theft auto 10"....

Tinctures and edibles are great, but like you said sometimes you need something that works faster. Vaporizing works just as quickly as smoking and it's healthier too. We know now that smoking pot is a lot safer than smoking tobacco, but I think more mainstream doctors would accept marijuana as a medicine if more patients vaporized instead of smoking it.
I don't think we will be seeing as much of a "Mature" approach, as we will be seeing a more "Broad" approach in the coming years--
I don't think MMJ will be the factor as much as the Recreational Marijuana Legalization will be-- As more States legalize for recreational use...Companies and Advertisers will be breaking it down into Demographics--
I believe there will be strain names that will get renamed into Brand Names...everything from "Hillbilly High" to "CEO Session"--
While I personally agree about the smoking, as I am an avid Volcano user...still, many prefer smoking it-- I just believe that all use is legitimate...and that through all of this...every person should have the option to use it how it works best for them--
meh, let people think what they want to think.
The cannabis movement is going to continue to do what it does regardless of perception and political correctness. The mature users will treat it is as they do, and the recreational tokers will keep up with their lingo and slang. Makes little difference to me.
Lets not make things difficult. The industry will continue to gain steam BECAUSE of the MONEY. Failing cities and states will not sit on the sidelines and continue with their level of prohibition while other states such as Colorado and Washington rake in the millions in tax revenue, permits, etc. The country is bankrupt and economic pain will be felt all over. Hopefully cannabis can help lessen such recession.
If anything things will take a more mature approach by themselves as the shear number of responsible users grow and just think that side of the industry is silly.
While definitely heavily regulated, cannabis will prevail mainly because local and state government are broke and the funding from the opposition cannot come close to the revenue (and further potential) from medical/legalization.
Just my take...

It's frustrating to hear doctors say "medicine isn't something you smoke" as an argument against medical marijuana. You're right, though, it's a personal choice. Everyone should be free to use it however they want, whether it's for medical reasons or not.
And they won't, they'll prescribe medical marijuana, the names are only going to come up at the dispensary level. Doctors and hospitals are still struggling to accept the notion that marijuana is medicine. They are a long, long, long, way from being able or likely to effectively prescribe specific strains.
Well of course, but don't you think it's a better Idea to shoot for standardization sooner than later?
i've always wanted to be a 'standard' guy...self got in the way every time.
think of all the 'stoners' being surrepticiously medicated.

Having the Govt. involved with MJ is like involving a fish in astrophysics.
You can do it, but it will be of negligible practical utility.
BTW: A dog doesn't care if you call it Canis Vugaris or Morty. A name is just an identifier. Very helpful if you attempt to brush your teeth with Vagasil.
