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.Quote:

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.
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.
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:
[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:
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?
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.
Bipolar type 1 and 2
-anything you can smoke
Great list, How about C/99 for headaches.
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.Quote:

For once it's like I have a mental blank slate. It's a pure calm. Beautiful.
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.
Ah yes, letting your mind go blank. On those rare occasions I am able to do so it's down right wonderful.Quote:

Im lookng for a strain, for anxiety (which im guessing would be a indica) without that heavy gravity couch-lock effect. Any suggestions??
Hemp Star is great for anzietyQuote:

so i need auntie em and blue fruit...exciting! Can't wait 'til we move to California in September!
I've got another one; Hindu Kush for appetite stimulation and suppression of nausea.
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.
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.Quote:

THANK YOU GOD!!!!!!Quote:

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
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?
just keep saying "there is no pain" over n over till its gone!Quote:

Crystal from Nirvana is great for Depression / Anxiety / also great over all mood stabilizer. Basicaly white widow:D/Northern Lights cross
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!
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
OG KUSH worked very good for bad pain, trainwreck is a very good source of treatment for ADHD.Quote:
