Medical Marijuana Signature Names

Who Thinks these Names Up?

Medical marijuana dispensaries all have their own styles, when it comes to the way the interior is set up.  They also have their fair share of signature names for the different strains of indica, sativas and hybrids.  Purple Wreck, Old Yeller, South Central OG, Orange Haze, Bubba Dream, and the list goes on.  Where do the names come from I wonder?  Just who gets to think up these names?  This is something I've decided to do some future research on, just for my own satisfaction.  Whatever I find out, I plan to share here on the blog.  I invite you to drop me a note or comment if you have any insight on this.  Later, I hope to display some of my own made up signature names, and you can do the same.

Medical Cannabis Dispensary Styles
I think the medical marijuana signature names often reflect the area that the dispensary is in.  The same is true about the style of the dispensary.  Some medical cannabis dispensaries are more clinical looking.  In fact, at some dispensaries, the whole experience there makes you feel like you're in a hospital pharmacy.  I guess that's okay, because, after all, a medical cannabis dispensary is a pharmacy of sorts.  They dispense products for medicinal purposes.  But those more cold and clinical type atmospheres are not what you will typically find in a cannabis dispensary.  Most are kind of upbeat and trendy.  They generally tend to cater to the medical marijuana patient who is also appreciative of the whole "marijuana cultural scene".  That is why this can actually be a culture shock for those patients who didn't previously "smoke pot". 

Remembering What You Like and Why
One thing about the medical marijuana signature names, they make it hard to remember what you like.  At least I find this to be the case with me.  It's hard to keep up with the meds that I especially like.  I don't know how many times I've picked up a good indica or sativa from the dispensary that was really effective.  But when I go back again, I can't remember for sure what I had.  It can be difficult to keep up with the names, because so many of the names are similar.  For example, I've had Purple Wreck, Purple Diesel and Lavender Diesel.  I like them all, but the only thing that stands out in my mind is the color!  When I return to the dispensary, I know I want something purple or lavender.

This makes it hard to keep up with which one actually provides the affect that I need to focus on my writing.  Recently, I've vowed to be more attentive to how specific meds affect me.  The best way to do this is with a log of all the medical marijuana I use, and the signature names that I've tried.   I will begin my official logging today.  If all goes according to schedule, my blog post tomorrow will indicate what I smoked today, and the positive or negative affects, with regard to my writing.  Maybe keeping a public log will help me remember not just what particular medical marijuana I like, but why I like it.  If you've had this problem in the past, you can start your own log of the medical marijuana signature names you've tried and your reaction to them.
