A couple days ago , my thumb was hit by a hammer.[pot smoking leads to carpentry] . I smoked some herb. It did nothing for my thumb pain, but it helped my chronic joint pain.
i've gotten rid of mild headaches by burning a log before, & i've turned mild headaches into screaming migraines that way too. it DOES seem to depend on the strain...
Very interesting that more people do not report these effects IMO, pain is a common side effect of many strains for me... muscle cramping in the neck/shoulders can be severe, as well as teeth grinding.
Try to keep an open mind and try several different strains. You should probably stay away from pure sativas, worst strain ever = green crack. I don't like ISS, mango haze or SSH either.
Heavy indicas may have their own side effects in enough dosage (mild headache, dry sinuses, drowsy/lightheaded for prolonged period), but I find most to be muscle relaxing. A good blueberry has a strong muscle relaxant effect for me.
Most "good" weed has enough side effects for me that I mostly use tried and true strains. Be very very careful with edibles, the edible will always turn out like the underlying strain!
