Does anyone have links to where this is on the NORML site or anywhere else?

Having read all the way through, Purple Kush works for me with arthritis. Kills the pain, and works good on the inflamation. Watch out thought, don't smoke too much, it can give you lead ass and put you to sleep!!!!!

Ok I've already looked at the other thread that has what type of strains there are and what they're good for. But I'm still stumped.. So any help on what I strain or strains I should get. I suffer from really bad headache's and neck spasms, I also have a very high stress level and I get so worked up in life stress is Redunkulous. The Stress I get keeps me from getting any sleep. I'm looking for a daytime smoke and a night time smoke. I don't like intense high's just very relaxed and comforting. Any Suggestions??? Thanks so much.

And where can I get Purple kush seeds??

I am a caregiver who has never smoked. I am trying to find the best strains to grow for my daughter who has chronic migraines and nausea. The nausea is the main reason that she needs it. What are the best strains for nausea?

I would prefer ones that dont knock you out too badly as she is in school and just wants relief, not to be too out of it.

thanks

Mr. Clandestine, I was going to PM you about this part but I'm guessing you have to befriend someone to PM them, no?

When you say your wife's "most severe symptoms" are her's mostly physical, emotional, or a combination?

I have PMDD and depression (also told I was bipolar but I'm thinking they're wrong on that one) and I'm (ugh!!) now going into the whole pre-menopausal thing...so my hormones are having a freakin' party in here!

So not only do I have the emotional stuff going on, I've got back pain and terrible cramps to deal with, so I'm wondering if White Widow would kill two proverbial birds with one stone.

Hi Mrs. Enigma,

My wife's most severe symptoms are definitely a combination of both emotional highs and physical lows. Severe cramps are pretty common for her, but she also has debilitating migraines, which her doctors assume is due to the PMDD. And her emotions can also be a rollercoaster when she's doing nothing to treat them, especially after a particularly tough weeks at work or other stressful times.

She had been prescribed a few medications, mostly mood enhancers, that she claimed were somewhat effective, the most recent (and most effective) being Celexa, but I can't remember all the others she tried, and none of them were able to solved the problem for us entirely. When she started using cannabis to treat the symptoms, we noticed a difference immediately... whereas with the medications you'd sometimes have to wait a month before there'd be any noticeable difference, if any difference at all. The strains I mentioned are two of our favorites, and work extremely well for her... White Widow and White Rhino are both roughly 60% sativa and 40% indica. We've also had the opportunity to try various other strains, and she's found that the more sedating effects of indica dominant strains worked well to calm her down when her symptoms were at their worst, and also helps her to sleep. I prefer the more 'heady' qualities of dominant sativas, and so the "White" strains have basically just been a compromise that both of us happily agreed on.

Hope that helps give you some direction for figuring out what might work best for you.

Sativas definitely intensify my migraines and ensure my transformation into a vomit volcano. I stay away anything with sativa completely when I have a migraine.

Indicas help me to sleep to sleep it off and help with the nausea. I love a good sativa when I'm feeling well though.

I noticed your comments on "it insulates you" and helps you with your regulation of temper. I also am looking for this I have the same issues. I am a dds and need to be very discrete.
Any suggestions.

I have a list of my own that I've compiled from medical cannabis strain reviews from "Treating Yourself" . Great magazine with lots of good info. If anyone wants to see my list, give me a holler.

I would have to disagree with the person who recommended against Sativas. High quality sativa dominant strains are better for migraines in my opinion than indicas, because you can get burnt out a few hours after consuming indica bud, especially if it's been smoked more than once in a day.

Also, with indicas its been my experience with migraine sufferers that they can smoke indica to relieve a headache, but then a few hours later during the burn-out phase the headache returns, accompanied by exhaustion.

I would recommend sativas specifically because in general sativas leave the user mentally nimble and clear-headed. Sativas are generally used by people in the morning, before they go to work or when they have responsiblities to attend to. They leave you energized as opposed to the Indicas which have more tendency to leave a person lethargic, drowsy or foggy-brained.

For nausea, both indica and sativa should work very well.

If you'd like to try something in between, a great strain for a child would be blueberry. It's got a great taste and odor which is more pleasant no matter how it's consumed, it's got anti-nausea properties, and it's a hybrid so it's got both indica and sativa properties. It will leave her more clear-headed than most indicas and may provide stronger pain relief for severe pain than most sativas. It will allow her to retain enough energy to function. Even its name is kid-friendly.

So if you start with Blueberry, you can take note of how she's reacting to it and go from there. If she needs more pain relief and isn't having trouble focusing you could drift more to the indicas, if her thinking is too cloudy or she's having trouble staying awake but shes not in severe pain you might prefer a sativa next time.

I would say that Indicas are useful for immediate use in the case of acute and extremely painful migraines, and Sativas are for long-term use of day to day headache prevention and relief from less extremely painful episodes.

I wish you the best of luck in finding the right medicine for your daughter. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me.

I've used both sweet tooth and northern lights for medical purposes, and i've found that both are excellent for insomnia, where as northern lights is better for anxiety. sweet tooth is to cerebral to be a good anxiety reliever. I've also had hindu kush but that was more recreational than medical.

Hi everyone,

i am suffering from depression and sevier stress. Loss of sleep and appetite is my constant condition, and nothing makes it better, but MJ.

Strains that help me the most were mango, white rhino, white widow and ice.

Only if Ifeel on a "level" , I'd smoke pure sativas...As far as bringing myself to calm down from the simptoms of dipression, suisidal thoughts etc, I only rely on a heavy breakes of indica strains.

For my nerve pain/DDD/fibro/arthritis I prefer sativa dominates. I am also a caregiver and my person prefers White Widow, Haze, and a strain I have developed that I call WWII (cross between an MediBud, an unknown sativia, and White Widow.) He suffers from chemotherapy related nausea.

Recently I made a batch of butter from all my scraps which is all my genotypes mixed up. I find it is the best long-term, activity-type medication so far. I need to do several more batches different ways, as that was my first successful batch.

It is difficult using it in food when you are on a diet by the way. Not having the muchies is a big help, which I note more in the sativa genotypes.
