That perfect strain? Help me please.

Ok I'm on board with the medicinal marajuana. I actually quit puffin a few years ago after 20 or more years of pretty regular smoking. I quit drinking too(best decision ever)... I've tried all the bullshit Zoloft and big pharm lets just suffice it to say I know their game too.

I quit smoking because I'd get too high and paranoid. I'm not looking to be STONED OUT OF MY HEADbut I do like a manageable high. Did I mention I had hip replacement and back issues too.

Since I've been eating edibles I'm completely off Zoloft and Percocet. I however, don't know exactly what I'm eating because I just buy a bag from a local seller (Not legal here)... I know a bit about static as vs. indicas Cbd etc. I'm looking for the best all around strain for anxiety and pain but I don't want a heavy narcotic indica. I'm a professional photographer so I need creative energy too. Most important for me is a happy positive strain.

Any suggestions please

PS I orderd a Kali mist seeds 60/40 and Cole Trai seeds 40/60

Any better suggestion

Thanks

I hope you're not talking about Cole Train from Reserva Privada.
That strain is pretty awful.

It used to give me some crazy panic attacks unless i mixed it with an heavy Indica.
But, it does give you a lot of energy and as long you're doing something you won't go into panic mode.

Well I think panic is more about the amount I ingest. If I was pulling 4 footers I'd definitely end up in bad shape. Also smoking even vaping gives me that instant "high" high then I come down fast whereas eating it kinda soothes into through and out of my high. Seems much better for my pain and me in general... Just looking for the right strain

I'd say a good Kush strain, like OG or the pre-98 bubba kush if you can find it as a cutting; I'm sure a number of other genuine kushes would also fit the bill. They are indicas but have a partly sativa character to the high, in not being couchlock inducing. If you like Sativa & Sativa dominant strains, ACE has offerings that aren't paranoia inducing by reputation, providing friendly Sativa highs, like Ace Guatemala (100% sativa), Tikal (75% Sativa, 25% Indica), Orient Express (60 Sat/40 Ind) or Nepal Jam (100% Sativa). The shortest flowering times for these is 9 wks (Nepal Jam), 8-10 wks (Orient Express) and 10 wks (Tikal).

Good luck, donb5
 
I'd would go with two strains, one for pain and the other for anxiety.
For the pain, I'd look at any of the high CBD strains like Cannatonic or Harlequin.

For anxiety, I really like Northern Lights.

If you had to pick a single strain, I'd go with Harlequin. It not a straight 1:1 like Cannatonic, so you'll get a very slight buzz that will relief some anxiety, and it's got good pain management properties as well.

I did indoors, Dr.Atomics thai lights is said to be very motivational and energizing with an uplifting buzz. I think a high CBD strain would suit you well. Try Deep Chunk hybrids, I have a feeling that is what your looking for in the pain/anxiety department.

i think Dreamtime is on the right track...i use for medical reasons: mainly back pain and anxiety.
Northern Lights is excellent for anxiety and would help ease up the pain a bit from the utter relaxation.
I grew CBD C**W Nordle and it seems like the exact strain you are looking for. Mainly 1:1 pheno's with a minimum of 5% of cbd. The strain doesn't get you ripped at all, it comes on very soft and gentle. Seems to increase alertness while keeping your thoughts clear, its kinda hard to explain that aspect but the more you smoke the more alert you tend to become. Seems to work well as an anti-inflammatory or for making edibles or tinctures.

I would suggest BC Bud Depots Purps.
Beautiful daytime herb. No anxiety. Makes you glowingly happy. 0 burnout.
Taste is like grape candy hash. The perfect strain IMO. It smells unbelievable and tastes even better.
8 -10 weeks flowering time. It has won multiple awards for 1st place best Sativa.
Although its 70%Sativa-30%Indica THRU 60%Sativa-40% Indica.
You will LOVE LOVE LOVE this strain. Everybody does.

I have tried many strains from many different companies, too many to mention.. but at the moment, my favorite is a HeadTrip from Bodhi. It has a really strong aroma, and good high, and just beautiful look to it, off course there are differnet phenos within the cross, but I would give it my approved thumbs up!You will find a keeper! I also quite like rez sour diesel, not available anymore as seed, but maybe as a clone in the states, really strong stuff..
Good luck in your search.. Hope you strike gold!
All the best

Blueberry lines work really good for what you are seeking. I'd be looking for heavy indica lines crossed to blueberry genes. For example:

pre-98 bubba kush x grape krush - ie BKGK fits the bill perfectly. Great pain management without being too overly narcotic. A great up / social / alterness that comes in from the blueberry. A bit of thoughtful introspective / creativity to the high as well.

I personally love different chem sister (clone) crosses - she seems to breed / have what I like in a high...but very potent. I'd also have to agree that Northern Lights (when legit) has been a great smoke for me, but has been more hit and miss. NL can be overly potent / indica ... a bit lethargic, if it is truly a good pheno / example of the genes.

So, perhaps, you could try some Dr. Atomic Blueberry x NL - and hunt through a couple of packs and find a pheno you enjoy that leans a bit more to the blueberry expressions.

But in general - blueberry crossed to strong indicas - then pheno select for more blueberry dominance in your selection. Should find exactly what you are looking for in a plant for medicine...

Great tip!
 
Is there a good strain book out there on the market that explains the strains and mixing of the plants to get a certain strain for certain Medical issue or is it all just trial an error on from a breeders stand point.

Dank.Frank has a good point. Ide def listen to what he said.
A good blueberry strain crossed with a good indica creates what your looking for as well.
I have lung/asthma issues so Blueberry makes it harder for me to breath after smoking it so I stopped growing it.
Still have all the beans I made though and am looking forward to working with this line to stabilize some incredible phenos.
Heres a (Blueberry indica x SweetTooth) x Chem D ~
