Ailment-specific marketing of strains is just a marketing tool, IMO.
while I do agree with you for the most part, there are certain strains of cannabis, that will not do well with some aliments, for example.. Somebody that is trying to treat anxiety, isn't going to want most pure sativa's because a lot of them are anxiety inducing.. So while there isn't a guide to selecting strains for certain aliments, there are certainly ways to educate the consumer on the various effects that will be encountered with each individual strain..:rastasmoke:

What really cracks me up is when people try to use the lineage of the plant to determine the effects of certain plants, all indicas are not all down highs, just like not all sativas are up highs..Those should just be general guidelines. Every strain has a different cannabinoid and terpene profile.. In my experience most people that bud tend have little to no knowledge on cannabis, it's bi-products..Try and go talk to a few of these folks about exactly how their herb was grown, or what micron their bubble is..The majority of the resulting answers will be very vague bordering on comical..
