Hey folks. Been self-medicating with cannabis for many years, but only recently for physical pain. I've searched around and the general consensus appears to be that knockout indicas are the best "painkilling" strains. This is a problem for me - I really don't like the effects of indicas (instant couchlock + sleepiness for me) and simply cannot smoke heavy indies in the day or I lose all focus and my productivity crashes.
For this reason I have stuck with sat's, but lately the lower back pain that has been around off and on for a few years since an atv accident has been ON all the time, and with much higher intensity than ever before. I'm in my early 20's and I feel like a fucking old man, guys, this is killing me.
I realize that I may need professional help from a chiropractor but in the mean time, I need some advice on some strains that can at least dull the pain to a manageable level WITHOUT rendering me useless and burned out for the rest of the day.
Another issue I have is this - I have a pretty diverse selection of strains, and I've had a lot of killer knockout indie's from my humboldt buddies along with some local commercial indie crops. I have yet to find a strain that actually dulls the pain/relieves it in any way, for me pot just seems to take my mind away from it -- and that just ain't cutting it anymore... I've got a lot on my plate right now and the last thing I can deal with while trying to open a restaurant is walking with a hunched back and aching in pain all day long like I'm 30 years older than I am.
The last strain that I found to really take care of pain was DJ's Blue Moonshine, unfortunately, it also took care of my brain as well and had a way of turning me into a drooling idiot with a couple of hoots. I don't have the cut anymore anyways so I'm looking for something new.
Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
