Medicinal Strain Help

[m-c-hammer]

I self medicate the herb for the medicinal reasons stated above (clinically diagnosed), prescription med's have too many side effects that to me are not worth the good they do.

I only have access to Skunk and some unknown Indica dominate strain atm.

I would like to hear from you if you could suggest any particular strains that could help with alleviating these symptoms.

I don't particularly enjoy getting really stoned so that I cannot move from my couch.

Generally I smoke J's for anxiety and eat canna butter for depression.

I am aware that there will probably need one strain for each symptom, and if my delivery methods may need changing please let me know what you think may be better (I don't like bongs tho).

I suffer from the same sort of dramas and I reckon the best strain that I have tried for the ol' depression is LUI or Legends Ultimate Indica. very relaxing and strong in a nice way

 

I find any of the White Strains to help a lot with anxiety.

I have never tried any of the white strains, I have only heard that they are just ridiculously strong.

But when you have anxiety and 20mg of diazepam does sweet FA, perhaps that is just what I need.

The indica strains have more of an anti-psychotic compound... CBD i think?

Satvias have relatively low levels of this.

You are definately after something indica dominant, maybe 75-100%

Hi Hammer,I find that when you grow your girls,if you let most of the resin glands turn brown, It helps a lot more with you kind of problems,less THC an more CBD, an stick with the Indica strains,I am a med user as well,but dont mind getting stoned ,get yourself a good vaporizer, i use a Volcano Vaporizer,but there are a few other good ones on the market as well,you will really notice the difference from smoking an vaperizing your weed,dont get a cheap an nasty one spend the dollars an get a good one if you get a cheap one it will burn your weed as well as vaperzing it so you will get smoke an vapers,best of luck with it

Good advice here.

 

I like something more indi now days to. Soothing whites.

 

Obviously..prohibition can add to anxiety levels when growing.

 

Base for both extremes is just fear and sadness. We all go thro sometime.

Cannabis definitely helps find ( or lose) perspective when its needed.

I agree Mulla,

It is a shame that every time I toke up I get the unneeded distraction of paranoia simply due to legal status.

However I cant let that get in the way, Just like with med's, everything has its positive and negative side effects.

I wish for the day when we can get our laws sorted out so that this little niggler wont be an issue anymore.

And Dingo,

Let them trichs get nice and amber to > CBD levels hey?

Good tip, I will see what I can sort out.

I like the idea of the vaporiser however at this time in life I really cannot afford one.

I have a glass hand-held vaporiser that is kinda like a light bulb with a glass tube sticking out of it, it works OK if you go real gentle with it however it does not seem to be very efficient.

How about if I extract the resin from by buds and use that?

I could possibly even try convert the THC into CBD chemically, it would make for a fun experiment (I'm quite competent in this field).

Hmmm... this will keep me up for a while "hitting the books".
