Kush : an Ending Love Story

Hey Guys!

I just happen not to have anymore Kush and suddenly life turns back to shit...back pain is back, neck tensions, headaches, insomnia, arthritis pain is worse...and all that whilst smoking twice as much Northern lights...

Anyone having found night and day (or, vice-versa) differences like this between strains for medical use?

Any strain recommendations for my needs?
Off to smoke some more to try to sleep and get rid of this stupid tension in my neck

What ailment have you got man? As a general cure-all I'd recommend Snow White by Nirvana, it was a crazy body stone with only a little headyness. I didn't find it good for recreational uses at all.

Make you sleep better than a baby too

Hope this helps.

Well I suffer from hidradenitis suppurativa (a form of very severe auto-immune skin disease that's very painful) and also juvenile arthritis/ankylosing spondylitis...yeah I know I'm a lucky dude getting 2 auto-immune diseases what sucks is that I'm 22, can't find a doctor to become legal and doctors do not want to prescribe me anything for pain or whatever else they could give me for my symptoms...

Btw, still stuck with that neck tension...
Off to apply some heat and take some advil...
Peace

NL should be a good one to replace the kush , but i guess not for you.

around my parts the word "kush" is thrown around as a word for anything good.

real kush is very strong , so maybe the NL is just so much weaker that its a huge difference to you.

its probably not the species fault , its probably the grower. i am very interested in your situation for the medical world, maybe you can locate something that is caked with crystals that will replicate the kush?

afgani or any good cross thats mostly indica , with an abundance of trics should help you the same way kush does.
i hope you get it straitened out soon.

did the kush guy grow the NL too ?

Well I'm pretty sure it was the real "kush" since after around 6 years of smoking this thing was on a whole other level...I mean a small hit from the bong would be all I needed instead of the 5+ I usually needed (although in those days I was using it recreationally)
They come from totally different sources...

I'm wondering if it might be that the Kush has muscle relaxing properties?

check out this site m8.. they list a bunch of strains than tell you what they are good for, ie, nausea, pain, etc..

I feel your pain...I have 2 auto-immune diseases too and I'm 21

Ulcerative Colitis and Rheumatoid Arthritis....shit sucks. But weed helps a TON

I usually use indica dominant hybrids

Well I went to the clinic today after it was "gone"...I actually puked...the doc told me it was either a tension headache or most probably Occipital Neuralgia...Great! something else to worry about

I'm actually happy to say to all that Kush was a "cure" for ALL my symptoms...damn I need to grow my own!
On another note thanks racerboy71 for the link. that site is a great idea!

Look for "MK Ultra".

It's a cross between O.G. Kush and G-13.

Some of THE best I've ever encountered for medicinal purposes.

I'm already looking into Romulan, G-13 and Headband I'll add MK Ultra to the list! Thanks

Great White Shark works great for my back pain (Used to be a commercial fisherman in Alaska, my back is forever done) and my ulcerative colitis. Great outdoor strain that grows fine if you just leave it be, and the high is almost all body.

Is growing your own out of the question? If you have 2 AI illnesses, growing your own medicine would be essential IMO unless you have a good supply from somewhere else.

Insomnia problems should be able to be rectified by some potent indica dominant tincture...which shouldn't be a problem to make if you grow your own.

Cheers

It's far from being out of the question...it's more like my next step
But right now it's impossible because of my financial situation (no job, no growing supply )
I was getting great indicas but he's longer around, and unfortunately all I can get are mostly sativas...And they aren't much help...
To be honest, I never thought I'd use marijuana as a medicine and neither did I think I'd grow to not like sativas lol

Also I need to mention that I've tried pretty much everything under the sun to "cure" myself, and also doctors do not listen to me or believe me...

I wish I could be legal but with all I've been through with doctors and asking for legit drugs I think I'm a lost cause when it comes to mmj

I have a great deal of Sympathy for you "SunnyHours" I can certainly understand your issue with the Doctors. This is my first post and I live in a State that is definitely not on board with the MM issue yet.

What pisses me off is I have been plagued with Neck Pain that causes severe Migraine like headaches and pain behind my eyes. I go to the doctor and he says oh yeah I will give you something that will take care of that. He gives me Lortab, and okay this helps me but when I tell you that I have to really govern it, I mean I really have to pick and choose how I take it. Then you go and ask the Doctor for a refill and he may decide that you like the medicine too much and won't give it to you anymore. Why give someone medicine that works for them if you are going to snatch it away when you find out it does? I DID not abuse it like you hear some of the people taking 40 - 80 mgs at a time........(that's crazy). I've never took more than about 40mg in like a 24 hour period.

Now you find yourself sitting at home with a headache (and nausea because the pain is so bad) you finally decide that you just can't take it anymore and you go to the Emergency Room. Well after being run through the ringer about why you are there for just a headache (obviously none of them have ever experienced this type pain). The Doctor finally gives you a shot and all this ends up costing you about 500-700 dollars (yeah!!! for one headache).

God forbid you get another one and have to go within a month or so because then they identify you as someone who is seeking narcotics.

I finally got a Doctor who knows me personally (actually kin to me) and he does prescribe me Lortab regularly but only so many per refill, per month. So as I stated earlier, I really have to govern the way I take them, and they are certainly not used for recreation. I am prescribed 10/500 pills and I almost always half them up. Sometimes I do have to take a whole one but not regularly.

For this reason I have decided to try Marijuana myself to see if I can get some form of relief to supplement my pain meds prescribed by my Doctor. (I am of legal age 2x over and have NEVER even tried Marijuana).

I hate being spaced out and staring at the wall if I have something to do, I really like being energetic and Lortab knocks some people out but it helps manage my pain and inspires me to get out and work. Being self employed---that is a good thing because no work is no income...lol with that being said I think I would like the Sativa strain for mild management and just energy and clear thinking and a positive outlook.

On the other hand, sometimes the pain is bad and I think I would like the Indica strain so I can just sit and stare at the TV or Refrigerator (as Katt Williams says).

I live in an area that I probably won't have any problem being able to produce my own Medicine. Just enough for me, I'm not interested in making in profit from it. If I could produce Hydrocodone, I'd probably be set, but that is not possible...lol So I am really hoping that this Marijuana is going to be a cure all or at least help my other med.

I also live in a High drug area but I am not sure you would know what strain you were buying. Producing my own would give me anonymity and keep me out of harms way from having to go into any high crime area for the meds.

So, wish me luck and I appreciate any help that anyone can provide me on my anticipated growing adventure.

BTW: I quit smoking Cigarettes about 13 years ago so instead of smoking the bud, I would rather use a Vaporizer if that helps with suggestions.

I am going to look at the Blue Dream review that was ref above and see if I can identify which I would like to try. I'd like to set up for about 4 - 6 flowering plants and keep a couple of Mother plants and 4 - 6 clones in a veg room. I would think that this would be more than enough for me and I do have one friend that already uses some but has to go buy it somewhere.

I do have two questions:

How long will the Bud keep after it is dried and cured?

Is 4 - 6 plants producing about 1/4 pound every 2 months going to be enough? I know some of you will prob laugh your ass off at that but I have never used it.

Thanks,
TheCabinetmaster

Didn't intend for this to be that long and if it needs to be moved to another thread-----well that's quite alright by me.

you should check out Sannie's Herijuana...supposed to be the heaviest indica out there (by reputation at least...)

Cabinetmaster:

Your bud can be kept in an airtight mason jar. As long as you store it in a cool, dark area it will keep for over a year .... and actually improve over that time as it cures. Exposure to light will degrade the THC, so be sure it's stored in a dark place.

4-6 plants grown under a HID light should produce plenty of meds for you, unless you want to start making tinctures and extracts which can require a lot of bud to produce.

somebody is close

herijuana has had a name for itself for years in the underground world. that is a very tried an tested hillbilly species. (pure goodness!)

same good indica stone as kush , maybe even stronger , but kush is a species of its own. its very hard to compare to kush..... that shit is just so different.
