Our crops are on a rotational basis so strain varieties are changing all the time.  While there are literally hundreds of popular strains, keep in mind that there are many different strains that still perform for a patient in the same manner.  Blueberry, for instance, is very good at relieving pain, as are several others that you will see on this page and hear about from others.

This page lists various ailments followed by the medical marijuana strain suggested for that particular ailment and it's symptoms.  Although we are not physicians or scientists, nor do we claim to be, this listing is important as it comes directly from patients and their experiences.

NOTE: These strains are "suggestions" only and this listing is meant as a starting point for patients.  Each medical marijuana patient needs to try different strains of medication until they find one that is most effective for them.

It's fairly consistent amongst medical marijuana patients that "indica" dominant plants aid with muscle relaxing, appetite stimulation and pain management.  "Sativa" dominant plants seem are more suited for those with anxiety related problems, mental fatigue or stress related disorders.

Indica dominant plants are typically thought of as a body aid while sativa dominant plants are more conducive to cerebral conditions.  Due to the hybrid plants mostly being used as medical strains now, patients obtain benefits that satisfy a lot of symptoms.

Patient Experiences within Different Strains

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

Blueberry Kush: Medium pain control. Medium body high, STRONG sleep inducer.

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.

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 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: 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 while using this strain.

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 withdrawal 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).

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.

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.

Nirvana papaya: really helps chronic insomnia

Nirvana White Rhino: eases some chronic pain and assisted with hunger issues
through chemo

Female Seeds Grapefruit: Great for depression but not so good for anxiety
issues.

Nirvana White Widow: Found to be good for depression and lessens anxiety

Nirvana northern light x big bud: Good for moderate pain and late picked found to
give a relaxing buzz...good for stress through pain, anxiety and long term chemo
fatigue
