The Bud Tender

By Linda Broadway

The book The Bud Tender sheds light on how medical cannabis helps children and people cope with illness. It provides reference guides to herbal alternatives with medical International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision codes.

Herbal medicines use plant’s seeds or flowers for medicinal purposes. Herbalism has a long effective tradition over conventional medicine. This treatment method is now becoming mainstream because of its advantages over traditional medicines. Plants have been used for medicinal purposes since 3000 BC.

Herbal medicine is used to treat many conditions, such as allergies, asthma, eczema, premenstrual syndrome, fibromyalgia, migraine, menopausal symptoms, chronic fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, cancer, etc. Almost 25 percent of pharmaceutical products use herbals. It is best to take herbal supplements under the guidance of a trained health care provider. Since herbal medicines can potentially interact with prescription medications and may worsen certain medical conditions, be sure to consult with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any herbs.

This book is dedicated to

my creative husband, Robert B. Taylor, whom I share my life with and my loving family.

Indica strains

These are sedatives relaxants are useful for treating the symptoms of medical conditions such as anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, muscle and tremors. Indica has a higher level of cannabinoids than saliva, which results in a sedated-body-type stone. Because indica strains may cause a feeling of sleepiness and heaviness, many consumers prefer to medicate with this type of cannabis at night.

Sativa strains

Sativa is more of a stimulant and are useful in appetite stimulation also, relieving depression, migraines, chronic pain, and nausea. Sativa has an antrorse level of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) than indica, which results in a psychoactive and energetic mind—high. Because saliva may cause feelings of alertness and optimism many consumers prefer to medicate with this type of cannabis during the day.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the first compound responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis. The mixture is a mild analgesic, and cellular research has shown that the compound has an antioxidant breakdown. THC is believed to obtrude with parts of the brain typical controllers by the endogenous cannabinoid neurotransmitter and anandamide. Anandamide is thought to play a role in pain sensation, memory and sleep.

Caryophyllene

Caryophyllene are part of the mechanism by which medical/recreational cannabis has been shown to reduce tissue inflammation is via the compound B-caryophyllene. A cannabinoid receptor called CB2 plays a vital part in reducing inflammation in humans and other animals. B-caryophyllene has been shown to be a selective activator of the CB2 receptor. B-caryophyllene is primarily concentrated in cannabis essential oil. This CB2 and B-caryophyllene contains about 12–35 percent caryophyllene.

Three main classification types are Hybrid, Indica,and Sativa cannabis.

Cannabis has three primary categories:

1. Hybrid cannabis (50/50) strains give a balance of head and body calmness.

2. Indica-dominant hybrid cannabis provides a full-body pain relief and a relaxing high.

3. Sativa-dominant hybrid, cerebral high with a relaxing body effect, provides physical and mental relief.

Hybrid cannabis strains are perfect for people who suffer from autoimmune diseases, insomnia and depression.

Cannabis ruderalis, another type of cannabis, grows wild in parts of eastern Europe and Russia. Cannabis ruderalis grows better in colder weather. Ruderalis plants have lower percentages of THC.

These hybrids are auto-flowering strains. Because of the short flowering period of Cannabis ruderalis, growing period is two to three weeks with highest level Cannabidiol (CBD).

Cannabis sativa is a strain originated in the tropical countries of Columbia, Mexico, Thailand and Southeast Asia and thrive in warmer weather. Sativa leaves are much narrower and are typically a lighter shade of green.

Sativa plants can grow to a height of up to twenty feet when raised outside, for a longer more extended (flowering) it can take ten to sixteen weeks to mature. Because the growing time is so long sativa plants produce much higher yield, about three ounces to one pound per plant but has a lower THC percentage around 12–16 percent.

Sativa plants have an incredibly strong aromas of sweet and fruity to peppery to earthy smell of diesel fuel.

Cannabis sativa is suitable for mental and behavioral stress anxiety, depression and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (AFHD). Cannabis sativa is known for uplifting, cerebral high, energizing, stimulating, laughing and engaging in deep conversations and being very analytical and creative.

Butane hash oil is also known as BHO or butane honey oil. This concentrated form of cannabis split up the essential oils of the cannabis plant from the plant. The result is tremendously strong resembling beer and steep liquor plant.

A portion of butane hash oil should be the size of a grain of rice. For first-time users, use half a pellet. If you accidentally take too much, you are going to have a bad day if you don’t recognizable the concentrates of(butane hash oil (BHO).

Vape Oil (concentrates) are essentially concentrated cannabis oil. Carbon dioxide (CO2) extracted cannabis oil that’s refined with organic ethanol which means no chemicals, lipids, waxes or impurities.

The Bud Tender overview includes a detailed explanation of each stage of the plant production and supply chain process, including

• breeding

• cloning

• cultivating

• vegetation

• flowering

• harvesting and drying

• trimming

• curing

• packaging

• distribution.

Quality control and testing are included in our outcome safety plan and monopolizing plant matter for manufacturing edibles.

The Bud Tender cultivation plan describes a hydroponic drip ground plan. This technique gives a plant literally what, when and the amount it needs to be as healthy as possible while meeting sustainability. The plant has to be as hardy as is genetically possible while also meeting sustainability target.

Dab are concentrated butane hash oil, wax honey oil, dangerous Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) nights is often compared to hard alcohol of the cannabis universe. Dabs come in many forms. Dabs are extracted and concentrated into potent wax forms that are essential oils and waxes of the cannabis plant.

Dabs are known for their high concentration of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Smoking a dab is much stronger than burning bud. You must be a regular cannabis consumer with high tolerance. Proceed with extreme caution.

Some extracts that have not been purged correctly can contain small amounts of butane. Carbon Extracts (CO2) oil is often noted as the safest oil because critical extraction machines use Carbon Dioxide Extracts (CO2) as the only water extract in it.

Marijuana that’s accepted in some states has been opened to the extensive range of cannabis both medicinal and recreational.

The Bud Tender inform the patient and the public of the different psychoactive effects of cannabis and how it affects you.

INDICA

Indica is short and stout in composure and will grow two to four feet tall and yield smaller crops (1.5 to 2.5 ounces) per plant and higher quality plants (18 percent) Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) than sativa.

Cannabis indica is believed to have originated in the Middle East (Pakistan and Afghanistan) and thrive in colder weather.

Cannabis indica strains are typically darker green leaves. The buds are thick and dense. Flowering takes about anywhere from eight to twelve weeks to grow.

The flavors and smell of cannabis indica is pine, pungent skunk, earth, hash or a sweet and sugary fruit flavor.

Cannabis indica has been known to relieve stress, full body pain, muscle spasms, anxiety, and nausea. To induce relaxation to stimulate appetite and to combat sleep deprivation.

Diseases like fibromyalgia, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and insomnia tend to benefit from the effects of indica.

Quality control and testing are included in our outcome safety plan and monopolizing plant matter for manufacturing edibles.
