Strain recommendation request for chronic pain sufferer

I think aged hash may be bioavailable.
If bound with a lipid, even more so.

Some medibles I make I do with coconut oil and apply minimal heat, just enough it infuse. This wont decarb much of the mass of cannabiboids, so that I get mostly bioavailable THC-A instead of just decarbed THC.
So thats one way to add to food.
For drink, either something with a lil bit of alcohol or like a smoothie with some milk (coconut or mammalian)

When I first moved to WA I found someone from the local forum who had cancer which was taking his eyesight. So I helped him with his garden and extractions.
He came to me one day and said he felt a message that theres medicine in the roots so he dug up all the roots from harvested plants and started soaking them in various liquids like water or solvents.
A year prior, he said he felt a message that plants aren’t happy in containers so he dug up all the cement in his garage so his garden can root into the earth.

Its quite graceful how those who need the medicine the most get to communicate the best with the medicine.

Very good find, thank you

Ok I guess this is the right moment to drop a big ass paper I found and its fascinating visualizations:

Green is BLD, blue is NLD, yellow is hemp.


bpts_a_1265363_sm2630.pdf (350.6 KB) bpts_a_1265363_sm2609.pdf (271.6 KB) Genomic and Chemical Diversity in Cannabis.pdf (1.4 MB)

My one request is that someone with a subscription to Adobe Reader export those two smaller PDFs of the data visualization into JPEG and post them here, I wasn’t able to get a good screenshot, too detailed.

Oh that genomics paper :heart_eyes:
Sadly not really any auto/ruderalis tested but a large portion of other genetics were tested here.

I can’t export either visualization as they’re literally too big for acrobat to export as a photo :cry:
So I recommend everyone go look at them yourselves as each line has a strain name attached to it.
Here’s the first visualization:
KaneGBS_WGS3_02102015_str_clades.pdf (3.7 MB)


Narrow Leaf Drug Type is Blue (~70%)
Broad Leaf Drug Type is Green
SE Asian NLDT-II refers to Dr. Grinspoon and Somali Taxi Cab samples and are genetically distinct from the other narrow leaf drug type.
Broad leaflet hemp points to a Chinese hemp sample

Almost ALL the OG and Kush lines are considered broad leaf drug type, along with most cookies and chems.

The supplement to the first visualization here, you already linked in your post, Titled ‘SE Asian Narrow leaflet drug-type II’ but here’s the crappy screenshot. Also too big to export so I recommend everyone follow the link, the sm2609 one.


This one lists Neville’s Haze, NL5Haze Mist, Super Silver Haze, Dr Grinspoon, Arjan’s Ultra Haze, etc as being from SE Asian lineage! Anyone remember talk of at least one of the haze lines actually being a thai line and not from sam? :eyes:

The other takeaways I found in that paper:


Hemp and broad leaf are the most different.
Narrow and Broad are the most alike.
Hemp and Narrow are closer related than broad leaf is to hemp.

Different cannabinoid and terpene breakdown’s per the 3 types

We found NLDTs to contain significantly more b-myrcene and a-terpinolene than BLDTs, although interestingly the two hemp varieties for which we analyzed chemical data had significantly more b-myrcene than either drug-type groups (Figure 6c). Similarly, Hillig (2004) found NLDTs to yield
significantly more b-myrcene than Afghani BLDTs, yet European hemp and un-cultivated accessions labeled as C. ruderalis contained the highest levels. Hillig also reported that Afghani BLDTs contained the highest levels of guaiol and eudesmol isomers, which we did not measure, although we found BLDTs contained more linalool than NLDTs or hemp.

Edit: I feel like we should split these papers off to their own post :thinking: Tho I suppose there is some medical knowledge to be found here…

I’d agree with that if @TeamOG wanted to go ahead and split off a thread for something like “Current cannabis genomics research discussion”

I’ve found that 1 ibuprofen & 1 CBD cap(40mg) seem as effective as 2 ibuprofen. :man_shrugging:

Have you looked into microdosing shrooms? Not enough to trip but still get benefits. Something to look into since you already understand how to grow mushrooms. Best of luck in your journey.

Growing shrooms is on my list of projects, actually. I’ve got my hands full with various horticultural projects, though, so it’s going to be a minute before I can start working on it

I get fibromyalgia sometimes…poor oxygen saturation…I’ve found that strong indicas/kushes help…

:four_leaf_clover::four_leaf_clover::four_leaf_clover:

I have hyperacusis+tinnitus & find virtually nothing helps, but some things definitely make it worse: dehydration/inflamation, ear-plugs.

Lemon Balm(grocery store vitamin aisle) is like xanax light & lowers blood pressure some. It sorta helps.

Low volume white noise.

I’ve read many places that the terpene Caryophyllene has pain-numbing qualities.

Pre 98 Bubba, Sour Diesel, OG Kush, Chemdawg all are high in this terpene.
Not sure if it’s an anti-inflamation vs. nerve pain effect.

Pain is often caused by inflammation, some very powerful herbs that heal inflammation are nettle, mint and curcuma (comes in capsules and can add to food).

Mix them all together as a tea blend and drink two-three times a day.

Nettle is absolutely amazing once you look up the benefits, it’s a long list! Helps with sleep too.

Mint and curcuma help with digestion and gut health, and cool the body.

You can make a big batch of tea, let it all boil just briefly then let it seep until it’s cool, then strain, and you can put it in the fridge. The more nettle you add the darker it’s gonna be, can turn out black!

The cholorphyl will help detox from heavy metals and other nonsense that doesn’t belong in our bodies.

Nettle also contains building blocks for serotonin.

Also eat more mushrooms; oystermushrooms, shiitake, etc… all that beautiful delicious gourmet stuff!
