With 19 states allowing marijuana to be used for medical purposes, and four states—Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and Washington—plus Washington, D.C., allowing the possession of marijuana by adults for both medical and recreational purposes, the cultivation of this plant and the manufacture of various health-related products derived from it is at an all-time high.
A medical marijuana patient may purchase marijuana in bud form, in strains with names such as Headband, Jack Flash and Buddha’s Sister.
