Medical Strains

Andthen · 04-09-2009, 10:13 AM

I wanted to create a thread where we could come back and add more medical strains as
we learn them.

Please feel free to add strains with the benefits you have seen or read about.
Or add medical or "effect" related comments to strains.

The following is a wish list for me, I hope to one day have these in my garden...
Strain - Benefit - Effect:

Jack Herer - Pain Relief -Uplifting
Strawberry Cough - Anxiety and Depression - Uplifting
White Rhino - Sedative - knock you on your a**

AK-47-pain relief, day dreaming, anti stress

Hi all- I've been working my way through the various strains, trying to find an appropriate cannabis strain for me. My heart has a tendency to race, so I avoid most Sativas. Here's my experiences so far:

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. Yeah! It also doesnt make me feel 'stoned' or stupid.

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 heartrate elevation. Extreme munchee inducer.

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.

I had a friend (RIP) who used to swear by Super Silver Haze cookies for his troublesome RLS and arthritic spinal problems. I have a couple of people I caregive that gave the strain a trial. Both of them said that the SSH cookies worked better than Rx medication and that Indica's did nothing for them.

They also are very good for neuropathy and spasms from Multiple Sclerosis.
I eat 2 strong cookies a day - like clockwork - and dropped the Rx meds for spasms. This works well for me and it's the first thing I will give to someone
who has MS or bladder problems that come with MS. Nothing I've used works better.

I have said it before, 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.

BUBBLE GUM, LIFESAVER, AMSTERDAM BUBBLE FUNK, & Kali Misty definitely help me to cope with my FIBO flare ups, by the way

AK-47- A more 'active' high, pretty decent munchie factor after a few minutes, and a very pleasant mental haze. Pain relief is definitely also a good plus with this one: an 8 for neuropathic pain, and a 9 for muscular pain. Effects are felt instantly, and although it's very potent, it doesn't make my heart race at all.

New York City Diesel- This strain tends to put a bit of 'tightness' in my chest. A 7-8 for pain control, and an odd discernable head buzz. This tends to come on slowly for me. Small munchie factor.

Trainwreck (further thoughts)- This is a really great strain to be active with. I've been using Trainwreck in the morning, followed by small hits of AK-47 throughout the day for pain relief, and it's very effective.

Medicine Man- Excellent for neuropathic pain. I've been told by some that this is another name for White Rhino....although it doesn't seem to have as 'active' a quality as I expected from this strain. More than any other strain, this cannabis creates a fogging mental haze that can be shaken off if necessary, but really helps with perception of pain. I give this a 10 out of 10 for pain control and general anti-anxiety/mood elevation, however, I'd save it for the night- it's not the most motivating thing in the world, although it is possible to become productive if you push yourself enough.

Afgooy. Great for stomach stuff as well. Serious couch lock. This stuff will make your face numb.

M-39- Very happy, decent bodily relaxation, excellent anti-anxiety, and good for cramps.

Silver Haze- AMAZING for pain- it's a very even head/body buzz, but it's an alert, cerebral one. I want to be busy when I'm on this stuff.

RomSpice- This is the strongest body high I've ever felt. It literally makes my whole body feel numb and tingly. I give it a 12 out of 10 for pain. It surpasses Romulan by at least half. AMAZING and wonderful! It not only kills my pain- without massive amounts of opiates, but it also helps withdrawl symptoms- VERY well. It brought my aches down to being barely tolerable with advil (as opposed to me lying on the floor aching, shaking and vomiting).

I highly recommend the club on 9th St. (10th st. is okay too, but the staff isn't nearly as knowledgable) in San Francisco. They know exactly what strains suit which ailments. Apparently, Cindy99 is supposed to be excellent for MS- they make bhang out of the most potent strains they have (RomSpice and Cindy99 for this batch), and many MS patients haven't needed anything more than an occasional advil. AMAZING stuff.

Anti nausea strains: (I have BAD nausea due to a bad liver, kidney disfunction, and mental trauma/PTSD) RomSpice, Silver Haze, Romulan, NY Sour Diesel, M-39, Blue Moonshine, are ALL excellent- their effectivness is in order from greatest to lesser- but all of them work very well.

NY Sour Diesel is excellent for anxiety, as is Bubblegum. SD gives an almost tangible sense of relaxation in the head- it killed a developing migraine before it started.

my personal preference for treating MS, is ANY strong Indica,,, i stay away from any/all pure Sativas,,,

the reason is the effects from Sativas- energetic up buzz,, activates my spazticity with this disease,,,

it turns on my shaking in plain terms, makes me shake more,, it makes me vibrate, -try drinking coffeee i end up wearing it.

so for me,, an Indica,, a very very strong Indica, is what i need to treat my issues with MS- Neuropathic pain,, spazticity,,,

indicas turn off my spazticity,,,
so for Ms in conclusion,, with my needs specifically,, i would have a list with only this-

NO SATIVAS!!!! Indicas Only!!!!!!

Quite the list ... I've started my wish list ... Thank you

Thank you Incognito Weedo,
for the great information.

This article I found is less strain specific than I would like; but it is full of great information on medical MJ.

Quote:

Strain recomendations to benefit specific body systems

1) Neurological problems should be treated on a case by case basis with sativa dominant hybrids being used as stimulating agents (such as in tension headache) only where a stimulating effect is desired. In general neurological problems respond well to the soothing effects of the indica profile .As an aside I personally know a young man who was able to eliminate haldol and control his Tourette's syndrome using indica dominant strains.

2) Musculoskeletal problems can present a dual problem,the pain associated with these ailments can often be acompanied by depression and fatigue. So the easy solution of recomending a strongly analgesic indica could compound the secondary ailments of fatigue and depression. In these cases a hybrid variety could be the answer,look for pain relief of an afghani crossed with a stimulating sativa to help keep you active, if you could benefit from it. In some instances simply using a very potent hawaiian or african sativa can give a balance between pain relief and energy level (these types seem to slow the body but leave the mind very active)

3) Immunological problems create special needsfor the patient as far as product purity and method of cure. AIDS patient cannot be exposed to molds or fungi so great care must be used in curing the product to absolute dryness. Also immunological problems can also be quite painfull so choosing a product to give maximum benefit with minimal negative impact on the immune system. The feed back I have recieved indicates that sativa varieties are prefered by immune compromised patients for their uplifting effects(could this be whats behind the immune enhacing effect ? ) and the energy boost the can provide.

4) Gastrointestinal effects are what really sparked the rennesance of cannabis medicine. Cannabis' powerful antiemetic and appetite enhancing properties have been known by cancer patients for years. For this system I will make one broad recomendation; indicas seem to be broadly effective for most GI complaints ,the exception being motion sickness which respondes to the stimulating effects of a sativa variety

5)Dermatological problems can take on several forms, plain itching or lesions of some kind.Systemic anti-inflamitory cannabinoids can be of benefit. look into low doses of indica type cannabis (excess use can actually make you itch much like the effect opiates have on some people) and perhaps a topical preparation of resinous sativa (disolved in an emolient of some kind ) can provide topical anti-inflamatory effect.

6)Cardiopulmonary issues and cannabis are a contraversial subject as mainstream medicine views the inhalation of any smoke as anathema. But patients with lung and heart problems find benefit from the use of Cannabis in spite of negative medical bias.
Cardiac patients can get benefit from sedative indicas for relaxation and stress relief but care should be exercised as Cannabis use can slightly raise heartrate but without an increase in blood pressure( I use cannabis before my post bypass exercise sessions and can sustain 45 min hard aerobic exercise without problems less than 1 year after surgery)Pulmonary ailments generally shouldn't be treated with smoked product with the exception being conditions which respond to an expectorant product smoked Cannabis of any variety is an excellent expectorant.

7)Psychological therapy using Cannabis is as old as man's association with it. Cannabis is effective in substance withdrawl and various mental perturbations.One way it works is by changing the mood of the user, usually in a positive direction, although it can cause paranoia and agitation in some cases.Strain selection for psychological problems should hinge on wether the condition causes agitation and unrest or depression and angst and appropriate stimulating or sedative qualities should be chosen

Endocrine conditions are as a rule not primarily affected by Cannabis and its use is primarily pallative .Strain selection should focus on immune enhancement and easing distressful sensations.

9)Chemotherapy and radiation therapy cause great stress to the body, indeed these treatments literaly bring the body close to death to destroy the less hardy cancer. As a result a whole range of physical and psychological symptoms accompany these drastic treatments.The most well known being the wracking nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy but the list of secondary effects of treatment is much longer .Again treatment with Cannabis should be of a supportive nature,sustaining the appatite, easing discomfort,and raising the spirits of the patient, sativas seem good for this effect as well as sustaining the immune system.

10) Opthalmological uses range from easing glaucoma to slowing macular degeneration. I believe indicas to be most efective in eye conditions because of what I believe to be a higher concentration of calcium channel blocking cannabinoids. These substances work in a similar manner to calcium channel medications for blood pressure except the eye has nerve receptors specific to endocannabinoids(substances created in the body)

11) Gynecological problems treated with Cannabis were made famous by Queen Elizabeth's use for pre-menstrual symptoms. As her Cannabis probably came from India at the time it was probably an indica or indica dominant hybrid

Great list. Time to drop the pills and stop supporting these corporations that are fucking with our government..

smokiethedawg · 05-09-2009, 05:12 AM

thanks for the info, would rather smoke a bit than take all the pills the docs will prescribe. In this prescriction happy age I would rather revert back to mother nature and stop depending on "modern" medicine. Lord only knows what the prescribed medication is really doing to your body.

CamperDon · 05-09-2009, 08:11 AM

Good morning,

It's the combinations of pills that are prescribed to any one person that problems begin to arise. "Take this now for whatever ails you, we'll give you something different tomorrow".
I believe the problems arise when you begin taking combo' of different pills some stuff doesn't mix well with others. Then you apply the aspect of the patient deciding how he/she will adminster his/her medications to fit into their lifestyly better ..
As my 14 diff pill a day friend was doing.. Thats another reason to have issues with prescribed pills..
I just feel IMHO if God wanted all those different medications in our bodies, he'd have already supplied them..! But, He didn't and i'd think there must've been a darn good reason.

Have a Great day and stay healthy
don

Futuregrower · 06-21-2009, 09:21 PM

thank you all!!

Here I was, about to post a ? like "what strain would be best to plant for Depression", I actually tried that on MJ.com, had to dance around the grow issue, NO grow topics allowed there.

Then, I find about a million descriptions here, AND it seems like some of them people have personal experience with! I tend to be leery of the ads for seed companies, some just sound like "ours is best! it is good for everything known to man! BUY NOW" B.S.

Which begs the question, of course- who has had experience with these strains, were the effects as-listed, or what? I'm personally leaning towards Strawberry cough, for depression.
