Would love some feedback from everyone with any suggestions. :jointsmile:

Stick with a heavy Sativa strain. My suggestions are Bubble Gum, Big Buddah Cheez, Sweet Island Skunk, etc... Just make sure it is a heavy sativa. Studies I have read on Sativa verses indica say that neuro/synaptic pain can be treated by Sativa strains. On a personal note I have sumilar issues as yours and heavy sativas are best for treating my ailments.

If you are having trouble sleeping try eating a high quality baked good 45 minutes before bed. When I say high quality I mean some baked goods that are made from keef and bud not leaves and trash weed! Only high quality grade A (Indica for relaxation) bud and keef baked goods. Guaranteed to knock you out for at least 6-8 hours!:thumbsup:

Hey PM, just a thought have you tried an Inversion Table? I know you mentioned an accident so many your not able to use something like that but I love em so thought I would mention them. Takes some pressure off my vertebrae and is comfy to me and helps. I don't have serious pain so it might not help just a thought. I hope you find a balance between pain meds and green ones, it sucks being in pain and planing your day around pain, I can only imagine that. Good luck to you in 2010!

Hey folks,

Thanks for the recommendations. I haven't tried an inversion table yet. I found oout today the doc's want to do an mri on my back and see what else could possibly be going on. I hate taking pills and had to eat like 6 #10 hydrocodones today....and I'm out of smoke in a state that has yet to understand the benefits of the plant God put on this earth for us to enjoy and use.

I appreciate all of your suggestions!!!

^That sucks bro. Be careful with hydros as I'm sure you know. They're hell to quit!!

Check out SAGE (Sative Afghani Genetic Equilibrium). I'm pretty sure it's a high-THC strain and it's also got a nice combination of sativa/indica effects. I've had some that was VERY well grown and it was incredible smoke. Very Funky, pungent, almost foul taste and it was one of the strongest I've had...

I'm not sure where the genetics come from, but there's info out there for sure on this strain...

This site has many strains and their effects.:thumbsup:
