Ohh thanks for taking that cool man.. I honestly laughed so hard while reading your response my lungs started wheezing like I had asthma or something LOLLOLOL... Anyway, the parts about your probems aren't so funny, but I guess we have to deal with the cards we're dealt with, and if we can still laugh, then all the better.. I have a gnarly case of rheumatoid arthritis that's been particularly hard on me the last month...

Yeah my problems i'm getting used to, so no worries, I'm pretty stoked I can legally grow weed (Which half the strains DO in fact make my stomach feel fine separate from the high! I am guessing we will discover what cannabanoid fullfills this function within 3 years.) I can't complain as for all my problems I am pretty blessed. Rheumatoid arthritis is rough, i'm sorry bro. What strains work best for that in your opinion?

While its true we gotta play the cards we're dealt, in most games any hand can win.

Well, when I first came down with it, I was really messed up- bedridden for 8 months and went from surfing and bartending/running businesses to that :( . But I got a good doc that finally convinced me to go on chemo (yes the cancer drug methotrexate is a treatment for sever r.a. too) and I went into a full remission. I'm lucky enough to have caught it in time before any physical deformities occurred and I'm actually in decent shape for all I been through. Must be genetic cuz people think I'm alot younger than my real age and ask where I work out- honestly I'm in front of my pc 20 hours a day lately -LOL. Anyway, for some recent stress reasons it seems, it's been coming back after being pretty much in remission for a couple years. I'm sure it's just temporary (I hope).

Strains? I like anything good quality, to be honest I'm pretty sensitive to thc and only take small puffs, but I still love the best quality. I really think this white widow I've been specifically rationing for a year is my favorite, but I can't say if it actually makes my body feel better, or that it makes me so happy, and then the happiness kills the pain... :D

Hell yes I am thankful I can grow my own medicine...
I figure I probably save at least $600 a month (10+ grams per week smoked)...
Who needs to sell anything??...
Saving that money and not having to waste time trying to score from someone else is worth it....
If I could help it... I would never have to wait in my car again for someone at some random park.... just so I could pay 120 for a quarter of questionable querkle..

Growing your own... you can grow what YOU want to smoke!! You cannot beat organically grown (insert strain name here) in Hawaii. Sure you can get more quantity growing indoors, but quality is what counts when you really look at medicinal value...

Actually there has been a lot of work already done by different entities.. For instance, I have worked a great deal with Cornerstone Research Collective in Los Angeles. They collaborate with several different medical researchers and laboratories to do exactly what you are talking about...
I have Crohn's (and Lyme Disease) so I have a great deal of experience with pain and muscle spasms... I elected not to get surgery for my Crohn's because every top doctor I consulted said it was a quick fix for the constant pain that I was already enduring, and the complications afterwards were not worth it... and I have a high tolerance for pain... I have worked with folks at Cornerstone to find strains that were conducive to my pain mitigation needs.. Took Pentasa for a few years but got tired of the awful side effects.. (drymouth, headaches, more nausea).. Then tried Lialda which was better but not much.. Nothing has worked as good as the current strains I am using in combination with some dietary sacrifices (no tomato products after 4pm...etc)... I have helped about five people out here (with Crohn's & Ulcerative Colitis) in choosing strains to help them deal with their muscle spasms, intestinal blistering, etc..

@Tardis- Just wondering what your condition is? Because I recall you talking about some stomach issues a while back on the forum, and I gave you some recommendations ... and you dismissed them and starting talking about how great Subcool seeds are for medicine.. Ironically most Subcool strains are sativa dominant and while they taste absolutely incredible, they have rated very low for treating stomach pain... Even his indica dominant strains like querkle and the dojo lines have rated lower for potency than other options out there(but awesome for flavor)... His strains are some of the best recreational strains out there if that is what you are looking for...

So true! I can get about an ounce (dried) per plant give or take with about $20 total invested in each plant most the cost is the soil, container, and the price of the seed. if a quarter of decent weed cost $120 qrt/$480 oz them i'm saving $460 per ounce growing my own marijuana.

Hey Sheckster I'm sorry for not responding before. I don't have Chrones despite similar complications. I had a gastric bypass because my heart couldn't take my body size and I had a few trips to ER for a few days. So I had 90% of my stomach taken out. It worked way too well and I dropped 190 pounds in a year anda couple of months all the while being unable to get up and spend more then an hour a day plus major burning and pain in my stomach, for a while there I couldn't eat solid food. I don't like mentioning it just because people don't seem to take it seriously despite what I go through every day. I can feel exactly where the food is in me at any point.

And yes I do love recreational strains, like you said I can grow what I like, and apollo 13 didn't do much for my stomach but its offspring Vortex did great things for my stomach. Querkle also did great help for my stomach. Jack the ripper did nothing for it. Agent Orange did but I didn't like the high. Spacebomb helps digestion and is very relaxing. Which is good because every time I eat solid food I feel pain, nausea, and my IQ seems to drop for a good hour or two and i'm unable to focus (hear every third word someone says) Weed makes that time more entertaining than frustrating.

His strains do help my digestion, not all of them, but most of them are really good in my situation. Plus they have short flowering times & all taste and smell great.

What strains would you suggest for digestion?

Yes, Every morning I have a protein shake with added probiotics every single morning. And I take a omezopryl, small orange pill. I've had to have cameras in me several times to fix my stomach, and stretching my pylorus out helped a lot. But nothing helps my stomach as much as some strains of weed when it comes to allowing food to actually digest without incident.

Yeah, I'm kinda in agreement with that too, Tardis. I've ran a bunch of Subs gear, but none put me on my ass. Vortex was my favorite. Think there is better work out there, but do your thing man and there is therapy growing anything with love......

okay, just checking. I started doing the digestive enzymes and probiotics less than a year ago and made a world of difference for me. all I was doing was toking the weed. weed helped me to cope with pain and whatnot but without the probiotics and digestive enzymes, I wasn't getting much relief. I just wish I started doing the program much earlier.

Baked 808, Only thing that might be a problem is if that light doesn't last all night you might be putting your baby to sleep at different times based on the days weather.

Yeah when I don't do the shakes with probiotics I get really really really weak and unfocused.
