Different strains

[oldhippie56]

Is there any info on the effects of the various strains of cannabis for different ailments. Reason for asking my wife has progressive MS, and I have notice when she does one strain it affects one way, and a different one does something different. Thanks.

This doesn't really answer your question, but I was listening to CSPAN radio the other day and I think the ACLU is making progress toward getting research started on medicinal uses of marijuana. Maybe in five years someone will have a firm answer for you... :( Sorry.

Well, there's two different main types, Indica and Sativa. Then there's a loooot of strains under that. Anyway, Indica type strains (or mainly indica) give a body high and more of a relaxed, "stoned", feeling. Sativa gives that up "high", do stuff feeling. Strains run many in between. I hope that answers your question a little bit, and I hope your wife is feeling a little better from the medicine.

if you are growing your own weed, you can get a little $10 radioshack microscope, watch the color of the trichomes, milky to amber , the difference is noticable, one will get you a little amped, where the other is couch weed(meaning the user won't wander too far from the couch after smoking) i read the article here somewhere

I myself cannot answer your specific question. I do however find that ingestion rather than inhalation provides deeper and longer relief from physical ailments.
Cannabutter added to foods is the most effective way of doing this. It requires a greater amount to produce it but will last longer for med use in the long run.
Some people can go an entire day on one morning dose.

a good friend of mine has a mom who has 12 full indica northern lights plants. she uses them specifically for medicinal purposes and i tried smoking them a couple times and the high is almost narcotic. seems fitting.
