hey all-
one of the areas of med mj that most intrigues me is how different strains seem to be better suited to healing/relieving a specific problem than others.
i've been collecting various strains, with the idea that i was going to start trying to grow symptom-specific medicine for some of my friends and family.
the problem is, a lot of what i find in the way of information on a strain tends to be more focused on potency or yield (2 of the main concerns for many, if not most growers). people talk amongst themselves, but you rarely come across anything from the breeders or seedbanks.
well, while looking for info for some breeding projects i'm working on, i thought it might be a good idea to post any info i found here.
the idea of this thread is to share ideas about what strains do what.
feel free to post whatever, as long as it relates to the topic at hand.
hopefully, this thread might serve as a shortcut to relief for someone.
this is something that i found while surfing around the 'net.
feel free to comment on anything that can be vouched for, or disputed.
the point is to get some accurate information out there for people to find it.
"ADD: Focus: Catalyst, Billiejack, Jack Herer, C99, Thai, Haze, Elvis, Dogsh!t.....
Strains that make you hungry and help stomach problems, Aids, chemo, ect.
= Santa Maria, Blueberry, B.C. Chemo, ect....= Serious Seeds, Dutch Passion.
Strains that help with body pain. Back pains, muscle spasms, ect = Herijuana, Sensi Star, ect. = Paradise Seeds, Meduser.ca, ect
Insomnia, Social Awareness, Emotional Stability: Black Domina, Butterscotch Hawiian, Trainwreck, Afgani, William's Wonder, Blueberry.
MS Neuropathic Pain / Urinary Incontinence: Trainwreck, Super Silver Haze), NYCD and Sour Diesel. For severe pain, concentrates may be required.
Digestive Disorders: Blueberry, Blackberry, Black Domina.
Nausea and Diarrhea and Cramping (including Menstrual Cramps): Blueberry.
Social Anxiety: Romulan, NL#5, Hindu Kush, OG Kush, Bubba Kush.
Stress: Heavenly Man.
Sleep and General Relaxation:Sonoma Coma, Lifesaver, Real Matanuska Thunder Fu*K, XXX, Legends Ultimate Indica, Sensi Star.
Alert, Cerebral: AK-47, Dankouver, Cambodian X Orange Peako.
Anti Depress & Anxiety, Sleep: Blue Moonshine, Jack Herrer, M-39, Herijuana.
Chronic Pain: Romulan, Shiskeberry.
Appetite Stimulant/Spasms: TY's Northernberry x Reefermans herijuana.
Joint and Muscle Pain: Legends Ultimate Indica, UBC Chemo x Grapefruit.
Thanks to TY members for their help in compiling this list.
for the record:
Billiejack and what i have been calling willy jack from woodie are the same thing.
Chronic pain: Blueberry, reeferman's hashplant
appetite stimulant: Catalyst
Joint and muscle pain: Blueberry
White Russian-ak-47 x white widow-excellent for chronic pain and insomnia-M39 for chronic pain-Peace BigD
I use Original Blueberry for M.S. Chronic pain, muscle spasms and muscle cramping. I also use California Orange, believe it or not, for spinal pain relief. Does anyone know if the blueberry/Lowryder is as good, or close to Original Blueberry. I would like to grow some if it is.
i have tried blueberry of a couple sorts including what i do believe was actually dj short bb and it was a 9 or higher outa 10 for pain relief.
Catalyst: is good for Anxiety and Depression. I don’t really get the munchies from her though.
Purple Kush: helps my stomach and bleeds off my stress/anxiety
Slow train: ruins me for a good long while and my back pain just melts away
Romulan-munchies, sleep inducer
AK-47-pain relief, day dreaming, anti stress
Romulan: Pleasant slight mental high. *Great painkiller*/minor muscle relaxant. Aided sleep. My heart doesn't race at all on this stuff! Apparently, it has a lower THC content than many, and this may account for it's mellowness.
Blueberry Kush: Medium pain control. Medium body high, STRONG sleep inducer. Knocked me out....twice.
Peak 19- Too strong! 1/4 of a puff made my heart race for about a half hour, and made me feel like I was going to be ill. I hate this crap!!
Mango+Durban cross: Decent painkiller, euphoric feeling, 'couch-lock'. Slightly 'stupid' high, and munchie inducer. Makes my fingers feel numb occasionally.
Trainwreck: Anti-anxiety. Muddled my thoughts a bit but not too much to be disturbing. Good painkiller. Slight heart rate elevation. Extreme munchie inducer.
We used Northern Lights I personally think Romulan works WONDERS for pain of all kinds.....although perhaps with a migraine you might try something really strong- like Snow White or White Widow......apparently, many people say you should go for Sativas for migraines (online source)....hmmm...in that case, I suppose you might wish to try White Widow first and then certain strains of Northern Lights.....I KNOW that one worked.
Please- write back and let us know how it goes- I'm going to mix some AK-47 and Romulan and enjoy and night bowl!
The Skunk#1 that was grown on the PainPal system is VERY relaxing for me, it numbs my chronic back pain and is a real easy on the throat smoke. Two reasonable sized bowls and I'm off to "la la land"
Nevles Haze is really good for psychiactric conditions, mood, and anxiety. I love Sensi-Star for it's ability to control muscle pain and nausea. It also has a wonderful aroma and taste to boot.
GDP = Purple Erkle x Big Bud
AKA "Grand Daddy Purple" AKA "RIP Grandaddy Purple" AKA "Ken's Grandaddy Purple".
RLS = SSH 1-2 hours before sleep in an edible has been effective for many folks.
the Amsterdam Bubble Funk has a way of getting rid of my HEADACHES when the pinched nerve in my neck acts up with those top of the cranium gems of PAIN. Without a doubt, better than any asprin ever taken, and with immediate relief. As a general pain reliever, this strain does little for my FIBROMYALGIA. For that pain, i rely on Bubble Gum, or Blueberry to get me the relief i need, for the most part."
in addition, i can add:
that i am curretly using organic snowcap to treat a friend of mine dealing with severe stomach discomfort from stage iv cancer and chemotherapy. we tried durban, og kush, banana, and ss haze as well.
the banana was very effective too, but the since i'm 3 weeks from harvesting more of that, the snowcap seems to be doing the trick for now.
super silver haze worked very well in relieving the severe down swing in treatment resistant, rapid cycle bi-polar disorder. a couple of bowls thru a waterpipe or vap really gave myfriend a lift.
i've been using sour d and gdp to improve my mood and relax me enough to sleep (it's be very hectic and heavy aroud here lately).
there you have it.
this should be enough to get this thing started.
have at it....
be well, and peace-
