There is a difference between the weed categories. Medical is just that...medical. It usually contains higher THC and CBD percentages. While you get high AF...the CBD is the part that actually helps with medical conditions. The high THC may actually give a false sense of the drug actually helping your condition. Kind of like a placebo. Exit the THC and the CBD may overtime help relieve symptoms. Weed does not cure any ailment.
A lot of pot smokers that do rec weed don't prefer medical weed. Usually the setting is a chill environment where they take multiple draws to enjoy the moment. With medical, the THC is so strong, one to two hits and your done. Its a misinformed activity.
If you want to try for your condition, then beware of what you are buying. Mids are the rec smokers while highs tend to be medical. A lot of these people think oh wow yes weed!! but in actuality they tend waste the product or way over do it not knowing the types of weed they smoke.
If you rather stay sober and not be high all the time just to test for your condition, then CBD oil or other forms is the way to go. I don't think you need the THC component.
