I'm gonna agree w/ trapper on that. After my appendix was removed, I decided to skip all the bullshit vicodin they perscribed for me (vikes, hydrocodone = crack, to me) and decided to go advil / aleve / tylenol. After 3 days of serious pain, I decided to cave in. Luckily, my wife asked me if I'd like to try a big hookah. At the time, we had a White Widow x Black Domina, which the breeder (local guy that I know) called 'The Fever,' as a gaf reference to 'Jungle Fever' - get it.. black on white.. bah.. anyways. It whipped my pain's ass. It was high anxiety, unfortunately, but having smoked my fair share of normal WW, I can assure you it works WELL for pain. As far as being paranoid w/ WW, it shouldn't happen, as you'll be so sunken into the couch, you wouldn't notice much if someone took a dump on your chest!
General rule of thumb is that Indicas are better for pain and depression.. Sativas are better for anxiety. For me, though.. WW is the clear best choice for pain. I've been smoking pot for 20 years and smoking "strains" for maybe 12 years. With anxiety issues, as opposed to pain, I'm more into Sativas. Both of the strains I'm growing are indica / sativa hybrid oddities with more indica genetics, but pronounced sativa effects. Spend the cash for any of the white strains.
Another option.. drop the cash and hit up Amsterdam for a week. Go to Dampkring (
http://www.dampkring.nl/ ) and try everything they have. The one that fixes your pain.. buy that seed right then and there. The cost of the plane will be easier than the cost of trying a bunch of different strains, failing, starting over, etc. Get a few seed packs and bury them in the bottom of coffee cans. Then, ship the cans to your doorstep anonymously. If you do this a couple times, one or all should get through. Start growin'!
Also.. a tip.. since these forums are open, even to the fuzz, you may reconsider any references to your location. If it were me, I'd modify your first post here and change your location on your profile asap. I actually changed accounts because I feared there was too much out there to spot me. For the most part, any coppers on here are looking for people who go beyond self sufficience. Just in case, though..
Good luck.. and get on that plane soon, man!
