I live where it's decriminalised but not legal so we get what we can but I've noticed the peppery ones and grown outdoors do the most, and give relief for longer time periods. Indoor grown is full of chemicals gives headaches and doesn't last long, and often gives an echo migraine, a migraine on top of a migraine...
Also oil works better, as does making butter and cooking cookies, it's more affective to the body rather than the mind, but as soon as we process it, butter or oil, it becomes a man made narcotic and illegal, cookies are illegal?! We need legalised not decriminalised!

Me too, if it was legalised I'd become a dispensary because I've cooked some amazing things with the butter, and the oil, which is the hardest to get coz people making it get fined big time for producing a narcotic, because then it is man made! The oil is awesome we put it in chocolate and in electric cigarettes, or just put a dob under your tongue and it's entirely body, you feel it from the neck down, not in your head, it makes all the muscles relax and helps with sleep. If I can find it I buy in bulk and stock pile it coz it's amazing, I have to use only when really bad coz it would last long if I used it all the time, also if would build up an immunity to it's affect...
Just my 2cents..
I understand in the UK they were trialling a THC spray under the tongue, they were getting amazing results with MS and Parkinson's to stop shakes and epilepsy to stop seizures, I don't know what happened after the trial finished, but the poor people that had to go back to shaking/seizures once trials were over!
There's so much worth to medical marijuana, but it threatens all the pharmaceutical companies, so they keep it illegal!

It depends on what I'm trying to do... For example, during the day, I like a good sativa blend. We have one here in MI called Wifi. It's awesome. If it's later, at night and I want to relax, I use an indica strain. Straight sativa is hard to find, it doesn't grow as well, but when I did grow, I love one called Mighty Grape. Here in Michigan, I find it helpful to talk with the people running the dispensary. They sometimes recommend something. I mostly use a vaporizer. (to help save on my lungs). Edibles are OK, you just have to know the strength of them before you take too much. LOL. Hope this was a little helpful.

Sativa strains are meant to be better for depression, anxiety and brain injuries, bi-polar, that sort of stuff I've heard, we had purple haze back in the 80's and a guy who kept seeds and generationing a plant till 7 years taking a clone in the 7th year and starting again he kept jack flash from the 80's till now but he only grows a pound a year for sale, so only 16 oz were sold I was one of the lucky 16 until this year man do I miss it, I'd roll a J light it take two puffs put it out, and 5 hours later repeat each J lasted me two days, and it was like kush, a body stone, honestly I've been smoking for pain, self medicating coz my mum kept telling me I was a hypochondriac, since I was 15, I don't think I've actually had a in the head feeling for more than 20 years coz I smoke till I don't hurt, then I stop, it stopped being recreational in 1986, I had a friend who's mum suffered pain like I did so I never had to pay for it, up until 3 years ago.. Anyone who knew I was smoking for pain just kept the screenings and bottoms of pounds for me, that they couldn't sell, and never let me pay. Here it's a $150 on the spot fine, and points off your drivers licence.. So we take the chance? I grew my own for many years and made some amazing discoveries from seeds given to me, from friends back in 93 we were able to have up to 10 plants and it was $150 fine, I could grow enough for a year, I never sold it to anyone, if they took it for pain I gave it to them paying it forward so to speak, if they raved on about how stoned would they get? Ya da ya da I said I ran out! I only grew medicinal back in the early 90's just didn't know it, ha ha!
I'm not sure about becoming a dispensary but they gave us a liquor license and tobacco licence, so surely we could get a dispensary licence as both our police records are squeaky clean, and we are the centre of the town, so we'd be perfect, I want to try the gummie bears and lollipops, I'd do my own baking, and I'd probably not smoke it as I hate smoking and prefer to eat or put oil under my tongue.
Sleepless babble sorry it's a subject that is close to my heart as you could probably tell.
Blessed be to all.

had a medical card for years, but as it is now legal for recreational here I did not renew. Used the $135 to buy my meds. I am a one - two hit smoker, use sativa in daytime. I also used medibles at night for sleep - wake with no druggy hangover and sleep well.
