[beautiful disaster]

Thanks for the great info! this list is very helpful. :)

[stinkyattic]

I wanted to bump this thread to see if any of the relative newcomers had anything to add to it.

[Chronisseur]

Strawberry cough works well for gastroenteritis (as well as menstual cramps I imagine.)and ADD.

I've HEARD that some strains of Kush have excellent anti-inflammatory effects??True?False?

[stinkyattic]

Nice, keep em comin' peeps.
I'm currently looking for readily-available strains to help with MS.

I'm also looking for anyone who has successfully used any of the following for med purposes, and what you liked them for:

Bogglegum
MTF
Pure Power Plant
SourBubble
Jillybean
Hindu Kush
Skunk#1
Toxic Lemon (or Killer Queen)
Sweet Tooth
Blue Haze
Northern Lights
SAGE
Trainwreck
OG Kush
Afghani Dream
SmashBerry (or either of its ancestors Purple Kush or Hash Plant)
Bubblegum (preferably the BOG version, BogBubble)

Any insight you could give me would be GREATLY appreciated, as I am only just getting into working with medical potential of these wonderful strains.

[WildFire.ca]

nice list thanks

[Chronisseur]

My experience with NL leads me to believe it may be quite effective against PTSD, anxiety, and depression. It seems to have a very "mentally stabilizing" effect.

[Chronisseur]

Here is a quote from Hilary Black of the British Columbia Compassion Society:

"Indica and Sativa are the two main varieties of the cannabis plant used as medicine. There are many strains that are crosses of those two varieties. Within each of those varieties and crosses there are a huge number of individual strains, each with a different cannabinoid profile and effect. According to anecdotal evidence, the Indica strains are a relaxant, effective for anxiety, pain, nausea, appetite stimulation, sleep, muscle spasms and tremors, among other symptoms. The Sativa strains are more of a stimulant, effective in appetite stimulation, relieving depression, migraines, pain and nausea. We are now aware of specific strains that are effective for specific conditions and symptoms."

[stinkyattic]

While doing a little research of my own, I came across the information that for muscle (including muscle-related back) pain, indicas are preferable, while for pain associated with nerve damage/degeneration, sativas are effective.
I also found the of the commonly available strains, Pure Power Plant and Haze work well for nerve pain.

[Oh So Grow So]

Great thread stinky! :thumbsup:

[stinkyattic]

Landed another one via a friend in the know:
Ortega and her descendants as anti-inflammatory.
This includes Black Domina and much of Subcool's gene pool as far as I can understand.

[curious101]

Well on my last grow (1st) my favorite plant was the Skunk #1...i struggle with anxiety and panic attacks but when i smoke this stuff i'm very cerebral and outgoing...barely have any left (just one lil bud) because it worked so well i couldn't keep my hands outta the jar...currently working with some Hashberry and Ak-48...let you know how they turn out medicinally :thumbsup:

[curious101]

I had a very indica dominant pheno in this pack that was also great for anxiety and yielded pretty well...forgot to mention it cuz its a freebie but it also did wonders for my anxiety...the sativa pheno i had was absolutely horrific tho in terms of anxiety causing it to sky rocket out of control...so basically the NLx indica-pheno from Grow Shop Alien

[Tea Party]

Any suggestions for ADHD type disorders for those who might be having a hard time getting through Robert Clarke's Marijuana Botany and continue to opt for M*A*S*H reruns or High Times back issues?...or for those who need to numb their physical pain, but also have big physical chores to do and cannot seem to have the endurance to keep moving for long periods on their current couchlock medicine?:(

[Tea Party]

"I'm currently looking for readily-available strains to help with MS." --Stinky Attic

Stinky: I do not know about MJ for MS, but Dr. Andrew Weil had a case study in one of his books about a woman with MS who took the Ayurvedic herb Ashwaganda and it helped her a great deal. I do not have MS, but I take Ashwaganda powder daily in my juice. It smooths out my twitches and it also tastes really good (if you are into earthy powders). You can usually tell by the taste or smell if something has healing powers. It would probably be nice mixed into baked goods.

[stinkyattic]

That is interesting. I will talk to the caregiver with whom I am in contact about that.
I'm glad to see that you've stopped by this thread... any misconceptions as to your previous identity may have arisen from the timing of your arrival coupled with a few instances where you (like the person with whom you are being confused) referred to himself in the third person...
I'm not sure if I follow your method for determining whether something has healing powers, however.

[Tea Party]

Yes, third person, well...just paranoid. I try not to admit to unlawful what-nots in the first person (even under an assumed name). Lame attempt to protect myself from eyes that might incriminate me, I know. I have been unable to sleep with the thought that you figured me a DEA agent or some such.

On the other point--I am not a medical doctor or a healer, so I would warn all against using my methods...but nature does seem to make poison and the like taste awful, while making beneficial things taste/smell good--not always, but sometimes. There are quite a few healing herbs that taste like poison! I was mainly refering to the taste/smell of Marijuana and how nicely the healing powers coincide. I imagine your attic has healing powers and it probably smells/tastes pretty good.

[stinkyattic]

...you figured me a DEA agent or some such.

. I imagine your attic has healing powers and it probably smells/tastes pretty good.

DEA Agent? Not at all, I had you pegged for Leon Diggs. Take it as a mixed compliment; for all his vanity, the kid was whip-smart and funny as a barrel of monkeys playing Twister.

The attic is intended to be full of healing things. Thus this thread. So far I've got insomnia and anxiety covered... and lookin' to expand.

[mikos]

Well I hope that Dynamite doesn't blow my HCV infected liver hehe..
nice :)

[sarah louise]

Hi Stinky, I don't know if you are interested in this sort of info for your list, I am diagnosed with both PTSD and Bipolar Disorder 1 and use cannabis in place of the psychiatrist's prescribed benzodiazepines.

I'd recommend Aurora Indica for one off heavy sedative (eg. wiping out emotional distress associated with flash backs, persistent intrusive thoughts, motor restlessness and agitation, primarily acute PTSD related symptoms).

Afghan, as a hash fortified, warm milk drink before bed, brilliant for a good long sleep.

I've also found cannabis good for toning down the presentation of irritability, I don't have any particular strain recommendation. I grow a much less potent, no name sativa dominant, that I can smoke without turning into a vegetable for the day. It gives me enough insulation, without being obviously stoned, to be able to go to work and function around 'other people' without appearing aggressive or overly critical.

sara lou :hippy:

[stinkyattic]

Wow,
Thank you Sarah Lou. I was actually about to re-visit this thread with a suspicion that my former boss is now suffering from PTSD. I saw him yesterday for the first time in over 3 months; he recently lost his wonderful wife to cancer after fighting it for a span of nearly 20 years and 3 full courses of chemo and 2 surgeries. He's on a pretty harsh antidepressant now and says that he's been unable to sleep, lost a ton of weight, can't stop pacing and blaming himself for not doing enough (the guy's a saint; this is illogical) to the point where he has lost the ability to function at work and says he's having a hard time reading and can't write coherently. This is a guy with a doctorate, too. I think the catastrophic loss of mental acuity is making him even more miserable.
I don't know much about PTSD, but watching him yesterday unable to even decide where to have lunch without having to pace for a few minutes, then coming up looking distraught and having reached no decision, and apologizing for it, I'm wondering if the diagnosis of simple depression was accurate, and feeling CERTAIN that if anything, an anti-anxiety med would have been more appropriate as a start.
I talked to him a while about smoking herb and offered him my emergency joint that I keep on me at all times to deal with panic attacks, and he said he'd already promised himself that he'd never 'smoke dope' again. I told him that I understood his desire to stay away from recreational pot smoking, but that it was the difference between someone taking oxycontin after a surgery, and someone crushing it and shoving it up their nose for 'fun', and that I found that cannabis was effective for me at least against panic attacks at doses that still left me functional and that I would consider sub-recreational.
He looked like he was chewing it over but didn't take it. I put it in an envelope and stapled it shut, and thumbtacked it to my bulletin board in case he changes his mind. I hope he does. He's a brilliant man and I hate to see him like this.
I gotta get my hands on AI or some closely-related strain.

[glazzkak]

great info...i hope and pray minnesota will pass the law this year so i can get some of those crohn's disease and anxiety strains...until then we smoke what we can find

[Mr. Clandestine]

Great thread, Robert & Stinky! I saw something similar to this a while back (I think from a seed dispensary), but it was far from complete...and only recognized the strains that they carried.

Now, for my :twocents::

I've also suffered from bipolar disorder for much of my life, and have tried every known medication (mainstream & experimental) to try and combat my affliction. Of course, none of the medications were ever able to completely alleviate the problem. Some just reduced the mania a little better than others, but practically all of them came with unwanted side-effects.

That being said, I've found that almost all varieties of cannabis alleviate my major symptoms better than my old medications. But, Afghan Kush, seems to top the entire list for some reason when I feel a manic episode coming on. Perhaps because of its heavy narcotic stone?

Another thing...my wife suffers from PMDD. She is adamant about the beneficial properties of White Rhino and White Widow in helping to alleviate her most severe symptoms.

Don't know if this is coincidental, or may bear some weight...but I thought I'd mention it.

Take care.

[stinkyattic]

It bears a lot of weight. Enough anecdotal evidence becomes fact over time.
For example, the Afghani influence is heavy in the strains I've successfully used to replace my own psych meds. We're coming to an agreement that it's got high medicinal value.

[budl0v3r]

I've really only been a rec smoker, but have tried pot to alleviate my worser bouts of depression. Most of the strains I've had were very unsuccessful, actually going as far to say as making me more depressed and very angry. I've been diagnosed as a dysthymic depressed person, and I can't disagree, I've been struggling with depression since a very young age, but recently (Christmas morning in fact) I've found the middies I recently acquired to work very well, they didn't make me 'high' per-say but i was in a good mood, very giggly, i didn't get angry where I normally would have. Sorry, I don't know the name of the strain but I'm going to try and find out, because I need to grow some of it:stoned: it's not a strong high, it would take easily 7-8+ full bowl's to get me 'baked'. If I find out the strain I'll post it here. :rastasmoke:

[tasermebro]

anything for sleep disorder!!

[StOnEdMoNk]

nice lists i actually have a bunch of shit i could probally get pot legalised for me thanx

[yungjay]

Grandaddy Purple - Sleep anxiety
Purple OG Kush - Sleep anxiety
Silver Haze - apetite increase, sleep anxiety after about 2-3 hours of feelin lovely

[kushy420]

i find 99% of street strains are good for insomnia as this is often the only reason i toke, but im looking for a good depression relieving strain because often while im high my depression will fade but i will grow back into a deeper depression when reality returns

[stinkyattic]

budlover and kushy, the strain 'kalichakra' seems to have quite a bit of anti-depressant value. My neighbor and I had some this weekend and agreed that the mood-elevating effect was QUITE pronounced.

[pambeasley]

Anxiety: Headband/diesel=[Super Skunk X Sensi Northern Lights] X Chem /dawg

They recommended this to me at the dispensary for my anxiety- seems like a pretty nice indica/sativa blend- doesn't leave me so stoned I can't go about my day, but definitely relaxing.:hippy:
This does work great for my anxiety, both mentally as well as the physical symptoms such as my shoulder and neck pain. Seems to work for my depression too. Great strain.

[kushy420]

budlover and kushy, the strain 'kalichakra' seems to have quite a bit of anti-depressant value. My neighbor and I had some this weekend and agreed that the mood-elevating effect was QUITE pronounced.
thats a very exotic name, i will keep a look out for that

[stinkyattic]

thats a very exotic name, i will keep a look out for that
It comes from the breeder Mandala Seeds (you may have heard of their HashBerry), who have a reputation for good work and good business practices. I have never once heard a complaint about any of their strains. Many vendors carry their work.

[baysiqq]

Im sorry budl0v3r, you must get really crappy weed if you need 7 or 8 bowls to get you high. :(

[olliegrow]

Ive been growing the White Rhino (Nirvana) for about 2 years now and have seen it work wonders, for muscle spazums (cant spell) , depression, and appetite from chemo. My neighbor who was diagnosed with Huntingtons Disease loves it and smokes it eveyday for is muscles and body pains. I would also like to add Hashberry, White Satin and Kalichakra from Mandala, I started growing these about 8 months ago and there perfect for depression and anxiety. If you check my grow log I have pics of the White Rhino and MAndala..Peace and Respect your Body and your Herb.

[nightlight]

I smoke for anxiety, as well as insomnia. The most useful strain i have found so far is called Headband. I believe it is predominantly indica and all i require is a few hits before bed.

[cwesto]

I smoek a strain called Orange Crush for anti anxiety. The Stinkster tells me it is mostly outwest but we have it here in western MI and i love the stuff. It is a talkative high that will make u want to get some good music goin:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Stinky i didnt know if this was where u wanted this at, I am not too familiar w/ the med section. Hope it helps:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[curious101]

[quote=sarah louise]Hi Stinky, I don't know if you are interested in this sort of info for your list, I am diagnosed with both PTSD and Bipolar Disorder 1 and use cannabis in place of the psychiatrist's prescribed benzodiazepines.

I'd recommend Aurora Indica for one off heavy sedative (eg. wiping out emotional distress associated with flash backs, persistent intrusive thoughts, motor restlessness and agitation, primarily acute PTSD related symptoms).

I've personally found Aurora Indica to be a terrific strain for multiple medical ailments...i smoke in place of prescribed benzo's and if harvested at 9 weeks it the perfect medicine for anxiety, panic attacks, depression...i grew this strain out for pain management and found that if taken to 70-75 days it is without a doubt a teriffic and afforadable strain that helps with a lower back injury thats put me on disability...10 wks and the strain relieves muscle spasms, tension, numbs the mind in a way that causes one to FORGET the pain and is very helpful on those painful nights when sleep is difficult...AI is a great strain, very uniform and terrific medicine...i'm sure there is even more medical potential in the strain...:thumbsup:

[Opie Yutts]

Thanks stinky for putting this thread somewhere where I would see it. You asked about Trainwreck. It helps me with pain, and therefore depression as well. It's not so much that it takes away the pain, but it helps me not constantly think about the fact that I am in pain, and I don't get so pissed off and disappointed with life in general. If the thought is not in your head that you are in pain, are you really in pain?

[Opie Yutts]

Folks please remember that everybody reacts differently to medications, including weed. One variety of weed might act as a stimulant for one person and a depressant for another. You just got to experiment to find what works for you. I think this thread makes for a great starting point though.

[Franzwad]

Bipolar type 1 and 2

-anything you can smoke

[Fatsackonug]

Great list, How about C/99 for headaches.

[kobe6209]

I heard of some stuff called lifesaver but im not too sure. let me know if you have ever heard of it.

[stinkyattic]

I heard of some stuff called lifesaver but im not too sure. let me know if you have ever heard of it.
Lifesaver is a medical strain bred in the [late 90s?] by the Bushy Old Grower, who is now retired from breeding. It is said to have excellent painkilling properties, as well as a heavy frosting and good flavor.

[rebgirl420]

I have really bad bi-polar disorder and Schizophrenia and sour diesal is the surest thing for it. I take medication every day also. I smoke several times a day and when I do I experience that my racing thoughts completely stop and the anxiousness goes away.

For once it's like I have a mental blank slate. It's a pure calm. Beautiful.

[nightlight]

Tried out Sweet Tooth last night and am going to have to add it to my list for insomnia. i slept better than i have in weeks last night.

[Opie Yutts]

I smoke several times a day and when I do I experience that my racing thoughts completely stop and the anxiousness goes away.

Ah yes, letting your mind go blank. On those rare occasions I am able to do so it's down right wonderful.

[WildFire.ca]

[stinkyattic]

Im lookng for a strain, for anxiety (which im guessing would be a indica) without that heavy gravity couch-lock effect. Any suggestions??I'd suggest a strain with good Afghani roots, but harvest it at a relatively low % amber, like 10%, so as to minimize the ass-glue effect! :D

[stevestevesteve]

Hello,is there anyone who knows where i could buy some seeds Phaght Betty ,thanks in advance Steve.

[rachem86]

so i need auntie em and blue fruit...exciting! Can't wait 'til we move to California in September!

[stinkyattic]

I've got another one; Hindu Kush for appetite stimulation and suppression of nausea.

[growinforthefuture]

i have found purps to be good for anxiety and pain. I also have found that some sativa strains, for example, some unidentified outdoor sativa dominant herb i had a while ago, are NOT good for at least some types of anxiety.

[vikinggem]

hey thnkx for acknolegding that, i hope this list goes well

:)
Here, here...that is the stupidist law yet. Not only that, but I would rather be on the road with someone that has smoked a couple than a dumb ass that has drank a few drinks. I know smoking sure helps my anxiety and chronic pain all drinking does is make me feel like shit. As far as keeping the old guys hard, isn't that what porn is for? I need a blunt so bad right now I can hardly stand it! Why make a "weed" that grows in the wild illegal, but it is ok to have 2 drinks at a bar and drive? No sense at all.

[Nailhead]

Now for the most important question, what clubs have these strains? Most clubs make up their names or have it as some cross between another. I can't wait until we are to the point where I can go into a co-op with that list and pick out a specific strain, when that day happens I will be in heaven :)

[ketman]

I have MS and I'm in DC. Pot really helps me, but I can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions?

[humedi]

amazing thread ta, i knew different strains would have a different effect.
that's an interesting quote someone put up from hilary black... will add it to the portfolio i am assembling to take to the hospital :p

i have to buy street weed so i never know what i am getting, only that it is skunk.
so for GI disorders (i have ulcerative colitis) people have recommended:
strawberry cough, afghani kush, auntie em, blue fruit, dynamite, sour bubble, blacklites, ortega

i think a trip to amsterdam is in order

[Giro2007]

To the fellow migraine sufferers, what other strains would you recommend for this bastard of an illness if brought on by anxiety? I've only ever had normal street weed when its happened, sometimes it works wonders and sometimes it makes me wish i hadnt smoked it? i'm guessin a good sativa-indica cross?

[veggii]

Thanks stinky for putting this thread somewhere where I would see it. You asked about Trainwreck. It helps me with pain, and therefore depression as well. It's not so much that it takes away the pain, but it helps me not constantly think about the fact that I am in pain, and I don't get so pissed off and disappointed with life in general. If the thought is not in your head that you are in pain, are you really in pain?
just keep saying "there is no pain" over n over till its gone!

[NaughtyDreadz]

puna budder has some definite anti-dep properties

[JJgama]

Does anyone know if there are strains that can acctually worsen anxiety?

[RocoLoco]

Crystal from Nirvana is great for Depression / Anxiety / also great over all mood stabilizer. Basicaly white widow:D/Northern Lights cross

[DoDoFoShoDoe]

I would guess if any strain would be worse for anxiety it would have to be a high sativa, something with a visual high or really heart pumping. Even at that it would most likely only give a novice smoker anxiety if they smoked more than they can handle.

Sticky Fruit is a great bud for anxiety but also keeping a productive motivation with a sleepy come down.

Juicy Fruit....insomnia

I had Early Girl x Skunk #1 when i was in a moderate depression and gave a very happy relaxing plateau high, however it is one of those strains where you get higher and higher the more you smoke and eventually you will pass out where ever you sit. LOVE IT!

[stinkyattic]

WillyX suggested that we post in the format:
Strain- Breeder or Source- Heritage/Type if known (%indica/%sativa)- Effect
I think that's a good idea.
Here's an example:
JillyBean- TGA seeds- Mostly sativa (if I remember right)- Anti-inflammatory, good for Multiple Sclerosis
Black Indica- PlanB- Pure indica- Anti-insomnia, good for relaxing before bed, soft and sleepy
Foxys Rhinofuck- Foxy Seeds- Mostly indica- Powerfully painkilling, but too strong a medicine for 'daytime' use
Kalichakra- Mandala- Mostly or Pure indica- Happy, relaxing, makes me giggle a lot

[w33dsp34k]

Nice, keep em comin' peeps.
I'm currently looking for readily-available strains to help with MS.

I'm also looking for anyone who has successfully used any of the following for med purposes, and what you liked them for:

Bogglegum
MTF
Pure Power Plant
SourBubble
Jillybean
Hindu Kush
Skunk#1
Toxic Lemon (or Killer Queen)
Sweet Tooth
Blue Haze
Northern Lights
SAGE
Trainwreck
OG Kush
Afghani Dream
SmashBerry (or either of its ancestors Purple Kush or Hash Plant)
Bubblegum (preferably the BOG version, BogBubble)

Any insight you could give me would be GREATLY appreciated, as I am only just getting into working with medical potential of these wonderful strains.

OG KUSH worked very good for bad pain, trainwreck is a very good source of treatment for ADHD.

[incaroads]

From my Experiences


Insomnia

Champagne
Purple Urkle
Sour Diesel
Bubba Kush (very Strong)
Mountain Kush



Depression

OG kush
Cindy 99 (due to growers excellent vibes i believe)
Sour Diesel
Chem Diesel
Pink Maui ( Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. Very Trippy.)
Double D (never heard of it til a few weeks ago. amazing!)

^^^
all of these strains put me in a good mood just about every time regardless.

[DoDoFoShoDoe]

I have a step-father who was diagnosed with MS a few years ago and seems to be steadily getting worse. I have smoke marijuana recreationally since highschool and know he does not condone it in any way, however, i feel if i had the right strain to help his symptoms he would think differently. Any suggestions?

Thanks a bunch

For MS, I'd go with JillyBean or Space Queen, or if you can't find those, look for Power Plant aka Pure Power Plant.
You probably won't have much luck finding either in bud form unless you have access to a co-op, and even then, they aren't stylish, lol. On the up side, PPP seeds are all over the internet and cheap, and it's a stable line, so you can back up your own seeds for the next run.

[DoDoFoShoDoe]

I was considering purchasing Querkle from TGA seeds for some time. Will that suffice stinky?

[stinkyattic]

If it has 'Space Queen' or 'Apollo' listed as a recent ancestor, it is likely to carry the anti-inflammatory trait.

Hey Stinky. My father has a similiar disorder which comes very close to having the same effects as MS, he has Spinal Neuropathy. JillyBean and Space Queen, any tips on where to find the seeds? How easy to grow? Im getting seeds together for my next grow and I would really like to get some strain-specific meds so my dad could benefit from it. He is already benefiting from cannabis but check this out, the doctor's prescribed him 1 80mg oxycontin in the morning and 1 10mg Percocet 4 times a day. It helps dull the pain but incredibly he gets more relief from smoking. You know whats even crazier? They drug test him monthly and if he ever tested positive for cannabis they would stop his treatment, take away his meds etc etc. Talk about a f'd up world where doctors can prescribe poison and when they find somthing that really helps he cant even use it otherwise he loses everything. Anyway rant over, thanks again for the info Stinky I have pretty much learned everything I know about growing from your posts :P

Can anyone give me a compiled list for P.M.S. and related cramps?

[FreeDaHerb]

Sweet Tooth (#4) has a calming & mentally stabilizing effect (could be due to the NL #1 parental lineage of the sweet pink grapefruit clone that was crossed with the REAL blueberry to make this strain, the #4 as I understand is closer to the OG grapefruit as it was crossed back to the mother) it is great for increasing your appetite, calming nerves and definitely helps to sooth bad anxiety, it is like smokeable prozac except it tastes like incense hashy heaven! Very euphoric and not overpowering at all, quite clear with a low burn-out factor. It gives you a hash-like medium high, never the freak-out I feel like everything is a cartoon type high or the dizziness of some other lower pedigree crosses, lol.

This is of course the more indica dominant pheno's and not the sought after blueberry sativa pheno that looks more like a sativa and is light green & very early, that is the super stoner let's have dirty sex weed that has been known to greatly increase libido and give you a severe case of the stoner giggles..you know, the ones that just don't stop. This is some strong bud with a really euphoric almost tingly ecstasy like buzz.

The indica dominant phenotype has HUGE dark green leaves along with a very deep pungent piney pink grapefruit rind fruity aroma and has rather large calyx's and purple striping on the stems. Leaves can be 18" - 24" across, you can literally roll a blunt with the big wide fronds.

I have smoked alot of different buds in my time but I can reliably state that Sweet Tooth by Spice of Life Seeds is very good medicine with a really good Karma & that certain special candy something like most of Breeder Steve's fruity strains. The added bonus with the #4 (which you probably can't find seeds for anymore) is that it's a true 6-7 weeker with some coming in REALLY early...as in like 40 days, it's a very vigorous plant that grows really fast & strong with none of the common mutations true blueberry strains suffer from, it seems that was "bred out" of the sweet tooth line..and the yield is still really solid on the #4 although the #3 is a bit bigger but also an 8 weeker so there is a trade off there. The earlier ones seem to be the really special fruity frost monsters so if you were looking for a mother those would be the ones to focus on for several obvious reasons. :jointsmile:

[KushielsTart]

FreeDaHerb mentions Sweet Tooth #4

"Sweet Tooth (#4) has a calming & mentally stabilizing effect "

Any ideas where I can get seeds for this? Or something else just like this? The described effects of this is exactly what I'm looking to grow. I smoked something very similar to this last night, but I don't know what or where its from. Plus I'd like to grow my own. :D

Update - I found a website that sells them - Spice of Life
Spice Of Life marijuana cannabis seeds. Sweet tooth shiskaberry (http://www.high-land.co.uk/acatalog/spice-of-life.html)

Has anyone used them?

How about G-13 ?

[tinytoon]

I am looking for suggestions for a strain or strains that have good effects on pain killing and calming effect without completly turning you into a couch potato. My GF suffers from degenerative joint disease and is also a panic patient. I have serious back issuses and also have the lovely problem of losing my temper at the drop of a hat. Now I have never been diagnosed with having a true medical term for the temper thing but it no doubt needs to be addressed. Any tidbits of info would be great. Currently using a strain called "Medibud" that we purchased as seed from a UK outfit.

[Mississippi Steve]

(Blue Kronic/Killian)

Toxic Blue is the result of crossing a femal Blue Kronic to a male Killian.
Blue Kronic is a very stoney indica we produce by using a Blue Moonshine x Killa Queen Female for flavor and a G13/Black widdow x firecracker male to bulk up the yield.

The Killian Father is my killa Queen crossed to a male NYCDiesel.
Killian has a strong sativa dom stone with a sweet manderine/grapefruit flavor.


The resulting Toxic Blue is an excellent yielder with berry tasting buds and a strong balanced stone. She's great for sog but if mold might be a problem you should top and leave 4 to 6 branches.Left untopped she gets a long main cola with fairly dense buds but not rock hard

Product Information
+++++++++++++++
Type: 60% indica 40% sativa
Flowering time 8-9 weeks
Harvest up to 550 gram/m2(indoor)
Taste: fruity/berry

Another thing...my wife suffers from PMDD. She is adamant about the beneficial properties of White Rhino and White Widow in helping to alleviate her most severe symptoms.

Don't know if this is coincidental, or may bear some weight...but I thought I'd mention it.

Take care.

Mr. Clandestine, I was going to PM you about this part but I'm guessing you have to befriend someone to PM them, no?

When you say your wife's "most severe symptoms" are her's mostly physical, emotional, or a combination?

I have PMDD and depression (also told I was bipolar but I'm thinking they're wrong on that one) and I'm (ugh!!) now going into the whole pre-menopausal thing...so my hormones are having a freakin' party in here!

So not only do I have the emotional stuff going on, I've got back pain and terrible cramps to deal with, so I'm wondering if White Widow would kill two proverbial birds with one stone.

[Mr. Clandestine]

When you say your wife's "most severe symptoms" are her's mostly physical, emotional, or a combination?

Hi Mrs. Enigma,

My wife's most severe symptoms are definitely a combination of both emotional highs and physical lows. Severe cramps are pretty common for her, but she also has debilitating migraines, which her doctors assume is due to the PMDD. And her emotions can also be a rollercoaster when she's doing nothing to treat them, especially after a particularly tough weeks at work or other stressful times.

She had been prescribed a few medications, mostly mood enhancers, that she claimed were somewhat effective, the most recent (and most effective) being Celexa, but I can't remember all the others she tried, and none of them were able to solved the problem for us entirely. When she started using cannabis to treat the symptoms, we noticed a difference immediately... whereas with the medications you'd sometimes have to wait a month before there'd be any noticeable difference, if any difference at all. The strains I mentioned are two of our favorites, and work extremely well for her... White Widow and White Rhino are both roughly 60% sativa and 40% indica. We've also had the opportunity to try various other strains, and she's found that the more sedating effects of indica dominant strains worked well to calm her down when her symptoms were at their worst, and also helps her to sleep. I prefer the more 'heady' qualities of dominant sativas, and so the "White" strains have basically just been a compromise that both of us happily agreed on. :jointsmile:

Hope that helps give you some direction for figuring out what might work best for you. ;)

[cannarelief]

To the fellow migraine sufferers, what other strains would you recommend for this bastard of an illness if brought on by anxiety? I've only ever had normal street weed when its happened, sometimes it works wonders and sometimes it makes me wish i hadnt smoked it? i'm guessin a good sativa-indica cross?

Sativas definitely intensify my migraines and ensure my transformation into a vomit volcano. I stay away anything with sativa completely when I have a migraine.

Indicas help me to sleep to sleep it off and help with the nausea. I love a good sativa when I'm feeling well though.

[fingerlickin]

I noticed your comments on "it insulates you" and helps you with your regulation of temper. I also am looking for this I have the same issues. I am a dds and need to be very discrete.
Any suggestions.

[altitudefarmer]

I have a list of my own that I've compiled from medical cannabis strain reviews from "Treating Yourself" . Great magazine with lots of good info. If anyone wants to see my list, give me a holler.

I would have to disagree with the person who recommended against Sativas. High quality sativa dominant strains are better for migraines in my opinion than indicas, because you can get burnt out a few hours after consuming indica bud, especially if it's been smoked more than once in a day.

Also, with indicas its been my experience with migraine sufferers that they can smoke indica to relieve a headache, but then a few hours later during the burn-out phase the headache returns, accompanied by exhaustion.

I would recommend sativas specifically because in general sativas leave the user mentally nimble and clear-headed. Sativas are generally used by people in the morning, before they go to work or when they have responsiblities to attend to. They leave you energized as opposed to the Indicas which have more tendency to leave a person lethargic, drowsy or foggy-brained.

For nausea, both indica and sativa should work very well.

If you'd like to try something in between, a great strain for a child would be blueberry. It's got a great taste and odor which is more pleasant no matter how it's consumed, it's got anti-nausea properties, and it's a hybrid so it's got both indica and sativa properties. It will leave her more clear-headed than most indicas and may provide stronger pain relief for severe pain than most sativas. It will allow her to retain enough energy to function. Even its name is kid-friendly.

So if you start with Blueberry, you can take note of how she's reacting to it and go from there. If she needs more pain relief and isn't having trouble focusing you could drift more to the indicas, if her thinking is too cloudy or she's having trouble staying awake but shes not in severe pain you might prefer a sativa next time.

I would say that Indicas are useful for immediate use in the case of acute and extremely painful migraines, and Sativas are for long-term use of day to day headache prevention and relief from less extremely painful episodes.

I wish you the best of luck in finding the right medicine for your daughter. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me.

I've used both sweet tooth and northern lights for medical purposes, and i've found that both are excellent for insomnia, where as northern lights is better for anxiety. sweet tooth is to cerebral to be a good anxiety reliever. I've also had hindu kush but that was more recreational than medical.

[eddie13]

Hi everyone,

i am suffering from depression and sevier stress. Loss of sleep and appetite is my constant condition, and nothing makes it better, but MJ.

Strains that help me the most were mango, white rhino, white widow and ice.

Only if Ifeel on a "level" , I'd smoke pure sativas...As far as bringing myself to calm down from the simptoms of dipression, suisidal thoughts etc, I only rely on a heavy breakes of indica strains.

[WashougalWonder]

For my nerve pain/DDD/fibro/arthritis I prefer sativa dominates. I am also a caregiver and my person prefers White Widow, Haze, and a strain I have developed that I call WWII (cross between an MediBud, an unknown sativia, and White Widow.) He suffers from chemotherapy related nausea.

Recently I made a batch of butter from all my scraps which is all my genotypes mixed up. I find it is the best long-term, activity-type medication so far. I need to do several more batches different ways, as that was my first successful batch.

It is difficult using it in food when you are on a diet by the way. Not having the muchies is a big help, which I note more in the sativa genotypes.

Montel Williams is very outspoken to the benefits of marijuana for MS patients. I dont have any Idea myself but I have seen him speak about it. In fact I have seen get very emotional about medical marijuana reform a few different times. Seems to help him a lot

Edit: Guess I should of noticed this thread is from 2007...

[Vancefish]

Personally glad you posted on it. I enjoyed the read.

I have severe spinal nerve pain both upper and lower back and mj has always helped with it. So well in fact that I honestly could tell people I take no over or behind the counter meds. Now however the local laws changed and thus it's legality for my very condition.

I also suffer( I hate that term) from occational anxiety/stress which can lead to near panic attacks, plus an occational bout of the blues:cool:.

Unfortunately buying cheap local (likely Mexican) brick weed was all I could find (or afford). Now however I can grow my own or buy at a legal dispensory:thumbsup:!

This thread pointed out a number of interesting things. First off I had no idea sativa's were a stimulant, OR that indicas were more a depresant(so to speak). I also didn't think about early harvesting for a weaker, thus less stoney med.

I'm quite sure the not so legal stuff I used so much before the new laws is a sativa strain most of the time. Thus I may need to try a few things I never even thought of before now. Might be able to solve a few issues other then just pain(which is what I got the permit for):giggity:.

Thanks again

[nmesub]

I was very interested on the use of cannabis to treat asthma. It just didnt seem right to me that cannabis could treat asthma due to the amount of coughing i do when inhaling through smoking or vaping,so i did some research. Here are some things i found.

The New England Journal of Medicine, a peer-reviewed medical journal, published a 1973 study titled "Single-Dose Effect of Marihuana Smoke. Bronchial Dynamics and Respiratory-Center Sensitivity in Normal Subjects," by L. Vachon et al., that stated:

"Marijuana smoke, unlike cigarette smoke, causes bronchodilatation [expansion of the air passages] rather than bronchoconstriction [narrowing of the air passages] and, unlike opiates, does not cause central respiratory depression.

Donald P. Tashkin, MD, Professor of Pulmonary Care at the University of California, Los Angeles, stated in a 1975 article titled "Effects of Smoked Marijuana in Experimentally Induced Asthma" in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine:

" After exercise induced bronchospasm, [exercise-induced asthma] placebo marijuana and saline were followed by gradual recovery during 30 to 60 min, whereas 2.0 per cent marijuana...caused an immediate reversal of exercise-induced asthma and hyperinflation."

Daniele Piomelli, PhD, Professor of Pharmacology at the University of California at Irvine, told Reuters in 2000:

"We think that by targeting cannabinoid receptors in the upper airways we can control coughs in a number of conditions...That's important because most treatments currently available basically act on the brain cough center, a small region of the brain that is the target for codeine and similar drugs ."

Normally when i can feel myself starting to have an onset of asthma related breathing problems i tend to blame cannabis and as a result lay off for a few days.During those few days my breathing tends to take a turn for the worse.Going to look into those strains mentioned for treating asthma and see if vaporizing in small amounts will help me.If you have anymore strains with good results for treating asthma post them please.

I have had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the associated insomnia for almost a decade.
I have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) as well.

Hindu Kush: anti-anxiety
NOT great for insomnia NOT horrible

Holland's Hope: great for insomnia. It is the knockout hammer you seek. Slow to develop a tolerance to.

AMS (by GreenHouse Seeds): treats extreme anxiety
gives you energy

Maui Wowie: great for Attention Deficit Disorder
comparable to adderall but only in the good ways

Hydro is a good weed that i have come across alot recently and started really focusing on what it does. It helps with stress and reliefs my pain and makes you laugh at everything. I haven't found this on any medical strain guides ive come across surprisingly

Hey Stinky Attic,

I have MS and have been growing strains that I thought might help. Was surprised how much Jack Herer helped with walking and getting thinks done. Great mood elevator and helping with coping.

I have also used Northern Lights to ease some of my hip/neck leg spasm and pain. Northern Lights seemed very good at relieving pain and allowing me to stretch better. I chose it because of it's higher than average CBD's.

I saw "Auntie Em" listed as a treatment for MS - have you tried it? If so, do you know HOW it helps with MS? I mean pretty much any weed can make a person feel better, but some seem better to get one moving than others do. I'd be delighted to hear about any experience you have with MS and MJ. It's almost time to get new plants, so this would be a good time to decide.

[malclyps]

My wife has some almost untreatable migraines and nausea, for which she chews sumatriptan like candy, and her nausea meds are supposed to be for AIDS patients only. They are both only marginally effective. Unfortunately, so have most of the strains of mmj we've tried so far. :( We won't even consider her pain, retinopathy and retinopathy-related vertigo. We're both types who get almost no benefit from opiods, to boot.

Then she got to try some White Widow this past week, which absolutely killed her migraines dead! :thumbsup: We both found it energizing, in a way, too. No couchlock, for sure. Didn't do a damn thing for the original patients' migraines, btw, so YMMV, as always.

This weekend she tried some OG Kush. She'd been trying Afgooey and other Afghan strains for the nausea, to no avail. The OG...:rasta: The Afs were all good for making us both not particularly care how crappy we felt, though!

Now, Northern Lights is up for testing. We'll report in eventually. The goal, of course, is to stock a small medicine shelf with targeted strains for what ails both of us.

And so the Great Work continues...

Hello, I love your site and I am trying to find the best strain(s) for my fiancée. She has Friedreich's Ataxia which is a rare inherited disease that causes nervous system damage and movement problems.

She has scoliosis in her back and the rods she had inserted as a child to straighten her out some are now bent. An officer mistook her for someone bad when her father was shot and stepped on her back.

She suffers severe pain, but also needs something that will coat and protect her nerves so she degenerates slower. I am not sure if you know this much about strains, but I figured if anyone would even have a clue, it sounds like it would be you people.

I had a very indica dominant pheno in this pack that was also great for anxiety and yielded pretty well...forgot to mention it cuz its a freebie but it also did wonders for my anxiety...the sativa pheno i had was absolutely horrific tho in terms of anxiety causing it to sky rocket out of control...so basically the NLx indica-pheno from Grow Shop Alien
