I've been dealing with insomnia for years and was wondering what you folks thought about a certain strain that will knock me out without feeling uncomfortably high (not sure if anyone would agree that you could be too high, lol).

I also shattered my wrist about 7 years ago and get some bad artheritis pain. I was supposed to have a second surgery but didn't have health insurance to get it performed. :-o

Barneys Farm Red Dragon. Let them go past 50% amber and you will have some of the best anti-inflammatory and sleep meds you can get. I a a med user. It is the best strain I have found so far to make the old joints stop aching.

I am not familiar with the strains you mentioned, but I agree 100% with you...

Pretty much any STRONG INDICA strain will turn to medicine of you let it go long enough...

I have a demolished leg that requires multiple surgeries every year.. and I OFTEN wake up IN PAIN...

2 or 3 hits and I get KNOCKED OUT!!!!

I let my Indicas go REALLY REALLY long because of this...

But be ware... it is no longer "recreational"... a few puffs and YOU'RE OUT!!! :razz:

most of the strains are in clone form only in the bay area or sacramento clubs. I know you can get white russian seeds from serious seeds. I know attitude and a few others carry them. Very potent stuff

The Red D takes about 10 weeks or a bit more to get it were I like it, 50/50. But the key with her is a proper dry and cure. Do this right and it is like a fine wine. Gets better with age. At least 6 months before it starts to degrade. And just getting better along the way. And it is pretty easy to grow.

Insomnia

.

Seraph - Breeder's Choice (forum member HHF): Plant selections throughout the breeding of this line, have been for nothing other than a specific quality of pain relief and cure for insomnia. It is a anti-modern line, that has been selected carefully for flowers that when trimmed and cured correctly will deliver a massive dose of instant, long lasting pain relief and if used in higher dosage will deliver a knock-out sleep inducing head ''stoned to the bones'' effect when your eyes want to close and you wish to seek somewhere to sleep. If used in higher dosage in the morning the unique Cannabinoid and Terpenoid profile of this seed line will put you straight back to bed.

HHF haunts this forum by times, if you have questions this is as good a place as any to start a thread.

Godzilla - Dr VonDank: https://www.rollitup.org/seed-strain-...-godzilla.html (if you want more info on Doc's strain PM him from his thread)

.

The Flav - Subcool: narcotic. Post a question in Subcool's forum if you have questions about the strain.

Harvest the plants when the trichomes are all amber.

Pain

All of the insomnia strains will help reduce pain.
.

There are some breeders who advertise their lines as geared towards producing medicinal effects, other breeders have great strains that are good for different ailments. The Green Avengers (TGA) - better know by their front man's name, (Subcool) do the best advertising of the effects of their strains. They also donate seeds to the medical community and have some excellent beans that the vast majority of people are very happy growing. Some strains like Medicine Man by Mr Nice (White Rhino by Greenhouse is a good knockoff) is very potent and good for pain; Blueberry is a classic people like for many problems (digestive especially); Chemo is good for nausea; Kali Mist is reported to be phenomenal for menstral cramps (I use it for digestive problems); Cotton Candy is good for pain relief without drowsiness.

Some of the more notable pain numbing strains I know of are (copied and pasted from another thread so all might not be relevant):

Medicine Man by Mr Nice
(White Rhino by Greenhouse is a good knockoff).

Dr VonDank's Godzilla is by all account's I've read a head tearer off of kind of strain (Doc is a forum member, I'll post a link to his Godzill thread below).

Endless Sky
by Dr Greenthumb is a super potent indica that produces well and flowers in 6 weeks.

Cotton Candy by Federation is recomended by forum member frmrboi, I don't know how potent it will be but it'll be a non-drowsy strain if you need pain relief through the day.

BOG
's Lifesaver is his flagship pain relief strain, his beans are hard to find and usually only show up at dispensaries or in auctions.

Kali Mist by Serious Seeds is said to be great for menstral cramps. My favorite strain, cuts through moods, up-opiate euphoric bliss.

White Russian
by Serious is a potent head stone, long lasting.

Blue Moonshine by DJ Short is a narcotic blueberry body stone, the White Widow of the Blue Family.

A strong sativa like Super Silver Haze by Mr Nice is suppose to be good for pain.

Subcool
(TGA) and HHF (Breeder's Choice) are two breeders who specialize in strains that help medical patients, reading through their lineup might give you a strain you like. Chernobyl is one of Subcool's pain relief strains - Trainwreck and JTR are two of the three parents, good for pain relief and muscle tremors (worth a close look). HHF has several great pain relief strains - Seraph will help with insomnia as well.

There are a ton of other strains that will help, these are just the one's I'm familiar with and can pull from the top of my head.

.

Most of those strains can be found at these seed banks.

Hi, does anyone know specifics about White Rhino as a medical herb? It pops up on the web a lot, including on Greenhouse Seeds Youtube piece.
I have glaucoma in my left eye, and would like to find a strain that would be good for relieving IOP.
Thanks,

I suffer with chronic insomnia and what I believe to be arthritis, which I will find out soon enough. Well my suggestion if you're lucky enough to find the right person is Alaskan Thunderfuck, the true stuff is mainly indica, and don't even let it get confused with Matanuska Thunderfuck or Matanuska Valley Thunderfuck, this is some truely knockout sh!t, the problem is being TOO comfortable. Sativa's can tend to make me feel uncomfortabley high, this is just some mellow/extreme stoning indica styled stuff. The couch will be your best friend..... The kitchen will be to far as you have to get up (I find this alot, when i'm hungry enough to go there, I know it's time to smoke another bowl!), this is the couch lockers of couch lockers yet leave's you with a introspective high. Great for getting tired and lazy while alliviating pain. My weapon of choice and two cents... :weed:

Edit
It has good afghan traits which I believe to contribute to it's power. No matter how much you smoke (halfs a day, zips a day, ect) it doesn't build up much tolerance, you just get used to what happens when you do smoke.:hump: It's anywhere from a 80/20 indica/sativa to a 60/40. Nobody know's for sure, it's one of those mystery strains. From what I know it rates high twentys to low thirtys for thc percentage.

Hobbes--thank you very much for the post!!!
I have sleep apnea and have to use a cpap machine. My setting is 14. The Godzilla really helps to break down those anti-sleep barriers and takes care of any pain you might have. I have harvesting it at day 49 with the trichomes all clear to milky and it provided a great daytime pain-medication without the couch-lock and heavy munchies. When harvested a week latter is when the nighttime medication really comes on strong. I love winter and the Godzilla to cap the night off. You will hibernate like a grizzly and wake refreshed and ready to tackle the day...
