Specific Med Strains, Specific Uses! Nice list.

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

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?

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.

nice list thanks

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.

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."

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.

Great thread stinky! :thumbsup:

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.
