I am new to marajuana;I have been trying to use if for 1 year now, with very little success. I have suffered from migraines and severe whiplash for 5 years. I’ve tried every modality I can find; every drug offered; nothing works for long.
I just got a vaporizer; I could not get the hang of smoking.
I desparately need help on the type I should be using. I have tried several Indica’s; none even touch the pain. They make me have to go to bed, but then I just lay there, I cannot do anything, but…the pain is still very much alive.
If you cannot give me advice can you lead to someone who can? Our local dispensaries have been very kind, but they don’t seem to get the severe level of pain I am trying to kill.
thanx shelley

Have you tried any very strong indica strains like OG Kush, Bubba Kush, Purple kush anything close to 100% Indica?
If you have tried some very potent strains with no luck. It sounds like you may want to consider using edibles made with potent indica strains to manage the pain relief. Edibles will work when smoking and vaporizing doesn’t. The only downside with edibles is they take an at least an hour before you start to feel any relief.
For the migraines you may want to try “simpson oil” or something similar. The simpson oil or similar oil is applied topically. Usually for migraines it only takes a couple drops near the temple area to completely eliminate all the pain.

Yes I have triedd Purple Kush, Granddaddy, Blue Dream, all with no successes. They all put me to bed, but give 0 pain relief.
I have tried edibles: brownies and oil from a dispensary and brownies homemade by my son. Again, the brownies put me to bed but gave 0 pain relief. The oil was GOD awful, I had bad hallucinations, that everyone tells is NOT normal.
Where might I find Simpson Oil? Is is cannabis based?
Thanx for the reply, I need all the help I can get. shelley

You need to try what is called Honey Oil or earwax. Butane Honey Oil is about 75% THC.
Hot debate. What do you think?

Hi Shelley,
Kush Creams makes a superb Emergency cream using Emu oil and Kush cannabis oils. They are available at Cannabis Farmers Markets, Mari-Meds (in Belfair) and some dispensaries in TAcoma and Seattle. I have heard excellent reports from migraine sufferers.

Try to get something with a 60% sativa – 40% indica that could help a lot with the pain.

I dont know where you are located but I do know a man who can help you. Dr. Alan Shackelford of Denver http://www.amarimed.com 720 532 4744
Hes a Harvard educated physican an MMJ advocate and healer. His knowledge on the subject is immense. Tell him Jans friend with the (nectarine)sent you- I
Personally I think you would benefit more from a hybrid strain that is indica dominant but combines enough sativa to create an analgesic effect from just the right combination of cannabinoids . Strong Edibles would be an option for an altrnative way of ingesting the meds. I find they provide more of a body high and last a long time.
Good luck. Dr Shackelford is a saint. Im going to name a strain after him one day.

Ah-Ha! Good name! “Sweetleaf” by Ozzy with Black Sabeth was the 1st LP i ever bought when i was in 7th grade at Cook Jr. High School in Santa Rosa Calif.where yes weed was a gateway drug for me.But let me post a fact just as true! This gateway to stronger harmful drugs is said too be cause of starting with weed opened the door on the way up too hard drugs! Well let me testify to the fact that weed is also just as much a gateway drug going back the other way. For me Cannabis as a medicine was a very high percentage of in the success of getting off of hard drugs! My cravings & desire too use & relapes after being clean for sometime was Qwelled ; nipped-n-the-Bud & hitt the pipe real fast & that would take away the cravings too the point of nonexsistance.Cannabis helped me kick Heroin about 10 years ago. Medicinal Marijuana was just as much of a help getting off of Heroin as The Methadone i’m prescribed now too help remain too stay off of heroin. But : Yes sir’e that “QUOTE” Gateway sure enough swings both ways! That Gateway too other harder drugs is just as equally a Gateway back out away from the harder drugs through that same Gateway ; only going back out the other direction. Plus that Methadone is pretty hard on stomache! Which Cannabis relieves! Hence : many senerios of needing too detox withdrawl systems can achieve much relief from eating a good portion of edibles or consuming extracts or oils etc.

Smoking doesn’t help me much with the pain but when I tried edibles, I was amazed to finally get pain relief! I’m on the pain patch and have been for years and using edibles with the patch works wonders. My pain is from losing a limb, a little different from migraines. Good luck, I hope you will find your way!

I’m a 30 year conisuer user , for that sever pain your experiencing you will still still need medication in conjunction with a very good hybrid sativa for pain. But you should injest it for a more medical effect such as in something baked or a tea.Youll hear them all say Indica for pain but those F1hybrid sativas I’ve found best. 30 years of medical use experimce

I wner if you are a “backwards reaction’ patient like me? What hppens with us backwardies is that the med has the opposite reaction to what is isted for other normal patients — I like to say “Indica is for insomnia, Sativa for sleep”. So I use my indicas for day-time use, and my sativas for relaxation and for putting me to sleep.
I alo have migraines every day, all day, and they never quit. It’s been 25 years and they are just a part of life now. My headaches are caused by a weirdly healed skull fracture (from back to front, down the suture in the forehead into the brow-bone, hen south into the jaw joint. sustained in a nasty 18-wheeler accident) I hae found that accident-caused are different from “organic” migraines, and most ‘scrpt meds that work on organic migraines don’t work for accident-related ones. I have found that smoking does help sometimes for true immediate relief, but edibles may be the preferred route of ingestion for you.
Just for grins, get some really good blueberry, asnd three

Your Mom must like the upper strains.I myself like & need Indicas & pain killing strains.For outdoor sativas I’d found that “Super Silver Haze” grow good yields ; even multipul harvests in Sept.Oct.,Nov.,cause of how tall they grow outdoors.Indoors I’d go with “Grape Ape” or some beautiful purple strain.Purples don’t remain purple if they’re grow outdoors.After outdoor Purps dry & cure the purple color in them darkens to near blackish green;unlike it’s sister grown indoors remains beautiful bright colors

Hey everyone
So I have been suffering from chronic Insomnia for almost 7 years now and was wondering what strains would help me sleep. (I just got my medical card) I have been prescribed ambien for around 4 years and am sick of having to take it to sleep as well as the awful side effects its giving me. The problem is that whenever I smoke I get really paranoid and almost more depressed. For this reason I honestly hate being “high” but I feel that if this can get me off the ambien it would be a god send. Any help would be much appreciated. :)

Especially “BlueCheese” I have Disc Lumbar Disease which gives me extreem agony at times like walking or chores remaining in the same position standing & BlueCheese kills more pain than any other strain i’ve ever tried.And i’ve been Club Hoppin’ since i used ta go with “Tammy” i met at Denis Perons’ house in SF in 1998.BlueCheese gets HUGE in Outdoors Shasta County Ca. And i love Grape Ape for nearly as good pain relief ; but mostly for it’s beauty & taist.Taist like Grape Kool-Aid & grown outdoors still turns purple in mid Oct. in Northern Calif.

Joshua,
Look for marijuana that is high indica because indica makes you tired. Sativa makes you more alert.

My members with recent knee and back surgerys find great success with edibles. because they affect the body differently than smoking. Excellent for sleeping thru the night and pain control. Look for places that specialize in low to no canna flavor treats.

you need a strong sativa. Hazy mazy/sou diesel/apollo 13/lemon skunk/ gracie slick. They all have their time of day they are good for. Gracie is a very mobil med.

i want to get ogg viks an go to medical marijuna but i dont want to end up big as a house from the muchies i need pain control only ,what strain would you recomend?
[Reply]
@Shelley: you might actually want to try a Sativa stain. I have chronic pain in my hip due to muscle damage and I realy enjoy using Sativa dominant strains. My favorite one that is out right now is called “Blue Dream.” “Sour Apple” and “Blackberry” have also proved effective.
[Reply]
@deanna: I would recommend that you try eating “medibles” also called “medicated” foods. There are some that are strong and some that are less powerful. These usually serve to give you a nice body high but leave you clear headed enough to function and generally (from my personal use) they do not produce that intense “munchies” feeling.

maybe your trying the wrong drug, try acid.
