Painkiller

I say Afhani #1, good tast, very strong stone, and a whole body effect.

bog's lifesaver and sour bubble did the TRICK.

amazing how they cure pain.

pretty expensive though as the last packs are about to go.. maybe forever..

uh, that sucks. I wanted to grow both those strains. These are on my list for Santa this year;
Neville's Haze
Soma's Amnesia Haze
Black Domina
Sour Bubble
Lifesaver

(i know most of these are not painkiller. These are wishes for myself and not my girlfriend's knees)

I keep a stash of Black Domina to help me relax and sleep. It certainly helps with pain as well.

However, I find for me that White Rhino and/or Medicine Man works far better for pain management. I'm actually about to start another batch of WR, just because I want something to manage the pain that doesn't glue me to the comfy chair and high def for 8 hours. For whatever reason, WR keeps me functional but very f'ed up. I'm going to keep looking around for a 75/25 or 50/50. Anyone have any suggestions?

I just finished a Critical Mass grow and that is some outstanding smoke, just unbelievable. It's not bad at all for pain but there are better, but the yield, taste, and high are phenomenal.

Others that I've tried for pain:

DP Blueberry: long lasting stone, great tasting, worth a shot
TH Bubblegum: not impressed at all
Western Winds: great sativa for pain and all day smoke


Here's a CM at 45 days:



Keep us posted!

Most people associate heavy indicas with pain management because their effects most closely mimic that of narcotics but sometimes people respond better to certain sativas. Especially in cases where antiinflamatory properties are desired and to reduce the use of cortisone. I've had multiple knee surgeries along with an arthritic sacrum causing sciatic pain. IMO the important thing to have is a high cbd. Its a common belief that indicas have the highest cbd levels because imported hash has high cbd levels. However most dutch indicas have very low cbd levels. Also people confusing cbn with cbd think that a high cbd level means a sedative herb but this simply is not true. Thc has a high affinity for the cb1 receptors located in the brain which causes the psychoactive effects of cannabis and lower intraocular pressure. Cbd has a higher affinity for the cb2 receptor located in the spleen which controls immune system function and reduces inflamation along with downregulating glucorticoid receptors in a way similar to cortisone. The other benefits of immune system function allow protection of nervous tissue which shows promise in treatment and prevention of degenerative nervous conditions.

On a more subjective note cbd tends to modify the effects of thc and to a certain degree actually reduce the psychoactive effects of thc making it so someone can consume higher therapeutic quantities of thc without as much added sedation and paranoia that can at times be unwanted. The effects of higher cbd levels include a delayed onset of the effects of the thc and a longer lasting high.

Personally I'd recommend cannabiogen's destroyer. Its an easier to grow indoor sativa that has the kind of high I'm talking about and to me seems antiinflamatory. The phenos that grew from the seeds I got weren't very edgey at all and didn't get my heart rate up at all but some of the meao thai phenos may produce a high heart rate. The bottom line is use what works for her and try different stuff until you find something that fits what she wants. Just don't be afraid to try some pure sativas.

Good post!
I agree on the Destroyer :smile:
Also,Deep Chunk and X-18...and my PTK keeper
