Anyone else have experience with this?

Back pain.
So here's my issue. I see everywhere that Indica is supposed to be good for pain and Sativa is supposed to be good for other things but over the last 6 years, I have smoked indica about 4 times to see if it would help with my pain but every time I either noticed no difference in pain or it would actually increase the pain. I have tried Sativa once (maybe twice I cant remember) but the time I do remember, it seemed to help with the pain a lot better than the indica. Anyone else here experience that or know why that might be?

On to a second issue, Indica seems to make my very depressed the next day or to but I haven't noticed that with Sativa. Anyone experience this as well?

if you are in a medicinal state you might try the edibles or even make it yourself, such as brownies, cookies or whatever you want to put it in, my wife and i put it in tomato soup as a garnish and it works....i believe if you ingest rather than smoke you might see a difference and if not in a medicinal state such as i am, just grow your own as that is what we do. i am an old-timer, been smoking for 47 years and am in great health.
