Indicas work best. Sativas give me partial protection. I still can get "shadow migraines" - same pain pattern, but at a "just a headache" level of pain.

But I believe that my migraines are due to a childhood head injury, so my results may not be the same as yours.

One of these years, scientists will catch up with us potheads and give the strain (and hopefully, the chemical profile) of the cannabis they use in their studies! I know I get different result from different plants- besides THC and CBD there are quite a few other chemicals in cannabis.

To say that "cannabis" does "X", is rather simplistic. A Mexican landrace sativa will not always give the same results as an inbred indica. Chemically, the two are rather different! Just the difference in the highs should tell you that much! :stoned: :rasta:

All I can say is that heavy, couch-lock indicas work best for me. Hope you find your perfect strain! :thumbsup:

Storm Crow Reviewed by Storm Crow on . Strains for Migraines? Well, I, as well as probably a few of you, suffer from chronic migraines. Those who know the excruciating pain and deprivation of life don't need me to describe it. Anywho, I've tried smoking cannabis a few times as soon as soon as my spidey senses tingled and warned me of an oncoming one. I've also tried smoking while I have a migraine attack (doesn't work so well, still seem to vomit and have the pain). What I've found though, is that cannabis is not a good medicine personally for helping Rating: 5
