By filling out this application, a Canadian is able to receive an ACMPR license. This license allows for complete access to medical marijuana, and even gives license holders the ability to grow cannabis from home. Canadians in need of cannabis for medical reasons have a lot of good things to say about the government’s ACMPR program. 

They also have a lot to say about medical marijuana in general. Canadians that have obtained this license have offered up an in-depth guide on the best medical strains available today. Each strain offers up a unique ability to treat a specific medical ailment, including insomnia, pain, anxiety, ADHD, and even symptoms of cancer. 

For Anxiety Treatment: Granddaddy Purple (Indica)

If you don’t know much about cannabis, you might just assume that smoking, vaping, or consuming the drug can lead to extreme paranoia. Maybe you’ve even experienced it firsthand. But even though cannabis can lead to paranoid and anxious thoughts, it does an even better job of treating anxiety. 

There are plenty of strains that do a fantastic job of alleviating the symptoms of anxiety disorders like depression and PTSD. Granddaddy Purple is the best of these strains and it has been helping people suffering from generalized anxiety for years. This heavy indica is a cross between two very famous strains – Purple Urkle and Big Bud. 

According to a leading cannabis source, “Its potent effects are clearly detectable in both mind and body, delivering a fusion of cerebral euphoria and physical relaxation. While your thoughts may float in a dreamy buzz, your body is more likely to find itself fixed in one spot for the duration of GDP’s effects.” All in all, GDP is the perfect anxiety treatment. 

For Pain Treatment: Blue Widow (Hybrid)

The main thing to consider when treating pain with cannabis is a strain’s ability to relax the body. That is essentially what every treatment for pain does, even prescription drugs like Perkaset and Xanax. Well, there is a treatment for pain that is much more holistic than popping pills, and that is Blue Widow. 

Blue Widow is a balanced hybrid, which means it has both sativa and indica characteristics. The strain’s indica qualities help a great deal with pain, while the sativa qualities prevent users from entering an overly relaxed state. This means that Blue Widow won’t leave you feeling so relaxed that you can’t get anything done. It is perfectly acceptable to use this strain throughout the day since it has energizing characteristics. 

For Insomnia Treatment: Afghan Kush (Indica)

Since the beginning of time, citizens of the world have been using cannabis to help with sleep disorders. Depending on the strain, using medical marijuana is one of the best ways to induce a sleepy state of mind. Granddaddy Purple that we mentioned above is perfect for this, but there is an even better strain out there for insomniacs: Afghan Kush. 

Afghan Kush won’t just make you sleepy, but it will allow you to sleep through the entire night. Restlessness is a common problem for many people, but luckily the indica qualities of Afghan Kush can help.
