I have MS and I'm in DC. Pot really helps me, but I can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions?

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

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?

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?

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

puna budder has some definite anti-dep properties

[JJgama]

Does anyone know if there are strains that can acctually worsen anxiety?

[RocoLoco]

Crystal from Nirvana is great for Depression / Anxiety / also great over all mood stabilizer. Basicaly white widow/Northern Lights cross

[DoDoFoShoDoe]

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

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.

OG KUSH worked very good for bad pain, trainwreck is a very good source of treatment for ADHD.
