HI 420,I grow and smoke for medical reasons so i was interested in your best and favourite strains that releive pain,anxiety,depression and insomnia?Obviously not interested that much in sativas strains as indicas focus on the medicinal traits!,although if there is any that have med benefits i'm all ears?Cheers everyone! LGI

try L.A. Confidential
afghan/indica
very stoned./lethargic high
numbing narcotic effect

Sounds good YI!,Which seed co do them and how much are they?cheers LGI

L.A. Confidential? I don't think I can afford that one, !

could you bare paying 33 euros for shiva shanti through sensi seeds


a lill less strong , yet very couchlock
said to be a tru medical strain

Trust me, that is so not true! It is a myth that has been circulating for yonks, and I fear has stopped many folks obtaining much needed therapy.
It is true that indicas have great muscle relaxing properties. But it is also true that indicas are lethargy inducing, and for folks in need of 24/7 therapy this can often be an unwanted side effect.
I have also heard that some cancer patients find better relief from the nausea of chemotherapy when they use sativas.
Personally, I prefer hybrids, and sativa dominant ones at that. I find they better address my particular therapeutical requirements. They are better at lfting my mind off pain, and at elevating my mood so that I do not end up depressed (a common thing with me).
Its all horses for courses in the end, but don't rule out sativas, not by a long chalk. They are just as useful as indicas in the therapy stakes, indeed, often more useful

exactly, I couldn't have said it better Arnold. 60/40 works best for me! A nice body effect attached to an uplifting sativa, witout the murkyness in the head. I like to be medicated, but get things done as well.

Jack Herer is a great smoke for enhancing mood, real happy smoke and i found exactly the same with Super Silver Haze

Friends of mine with ankylosing spundulitis and other back problems seem to rate sativa doms too. Tiki Green Devil makes a great pain killer while leaving you able to do your stuff so that'd be my medical recommendation. I got mine in a packet of Tiki Mix which was a tenner (although I won it for free)

i agree that not all people respond well to indicas only.
i myself like to smoke mainly indicas, and a few hybrids in between.

doin indica only will make me too tolerant, and not gettin me high at all
one gram of hybrid to one ounce of pure indica is a minimum to me to keep the balance right

POG was recommended before, I'm growing it at the moment.

I hate strains which give an uncomfortable and stupifying high. I like those that give a nice warm buzzy content feeling, i find spicy tasting strains seem to carry this characteristic.

I find Pot of Gold best for me.

Though I have not tried it yet, I hear Romulan is a great strain for medicinal purposes. I have heard people say that it is quite possibly some of the strongest stuff out there.

pain: UBC chemo. Medicine man (rhino if poor)
anxiety: hashberry, papaya, satori late picked (really happy relaxed buzz) blue strains
depression: Satori. Female seeds Grapefruit (but can get ya tweaky) Jack Herer
Insomnia: late picked papaya (inna nice hot hash bhang to drink before bed)

try Greenhouse Big Bang, it is medicinal class, make for the dutch pharmacies..

also easy to grow and stays small, and I'll tell you how good it is in about 4 weeks

I find pure sats are next to useless for my Crohn's but I'm smoking some juicy fruit (or fruity juice can't remember) that's a sat dom that helps nicely. The purer sat I'm smoking little or no body effect at all.

POG is good and tastes amazing, blueberry also good but fav is white rhino/medicine man for med purposes. These three are all ind/sat hybrids.

Some good info people I need to try a range of different strains and find one or a few that meets my needs i think! the satvias like haze pog and kali mist sound good but cuz im after strains that are renowned for there medicinal muscle relaxants and a heavy body with a knock out stone to give ya a good nights sleep i dont want nothing too heady as this usually makes me head spin and keeps me up all night with a wired type effect To smoke a sliff and after maybe one or two drags then start getting a strong body feeling which after half a joint sort of makes u almost wretch with its potency especially when you hold the smoke in your chest a bit more and warms you up, wraps its arms around u and has u getting the munchies then leaving u for dead after too much Thats my sort of ideal smoke ,its probably why i leaned towards indicas rather than satvias but there both great in there own right,so a mix of the two makes sense cheers everyone LGI
