Hey, I know we're in different countries, some of these answers are very informative.

Here we just had a MM dispensary open up 6 month's ago, all I needed to be able to buy from them is a letter from my Dr saying what my condition is and how many grams per day, he gave me 3g's/day, the dispensary told me the Dr's usually start at 1g/day.

You should investigate which will work best for your condition, Sativa, Indica, THC or CBD, edibles, oils, Dabs or Shatter( same thing different names) or Vaping. I found the staff to be very informative. THC gets you head high whileCBD'S don't, but you feel it in the body.

Both MM and Marijuana from a friend or such will get you high. The MM has been taken more care of and all the fertilizers are more organic and flushed out properly at the end of growing, some growers use good fertilizers and flush well but it's $ to them not medicine.

I am not using as much weed as I use to. It is a bit more pricey at the dispensary than my friend. But I can't get the selection from my friend, and I forgot about Hash, a few different kinds
mmmmmm.

It's all going to depend on what works for you and $. It can be trial and error also to figure out what's best.

Ohh and if you have to get it from a friend or street, if it was not flushed well, while
smoking a joint you find it burns the tip of your tongue a bit.

It's the best thing I've found for spasticity. I used Sativa, both smoking (which I prefer not to do) and in butter (for baking.) There are some hybrids available now so I'd say do some research on your own about which type is best for spasticity. I hear Indica interferes more with sleep. Marijuana is the ONLY thing that's ever worked for me to relax my muscles. I've also used CBD oil and that helped, but since it isn't regulated I wonder if I'm really getting the ingredients I pay for. It's expensive. We're supposed to get dispensaries in my state this year and I hope they offer CBD oil, because I'm not into getting high.
