Hey all. Long time reader and stalker in the group, just recently started giving back input. I have Multiple Sclerosis and have used cannabis for a few years as my main tool to help ease pain and spasticity. I am having trouble keeping on top of the spasticity part. It's literally like having birthing contractions many days. Does anyone else deal with this or similar and if so, what strains seem to help your spasticity and or pain the best. I bought Afghan Kush thinking the Indica would be best, great stone but still dealing with spasms. All input on medical experiences welcome. I hope to find better relief.

Good question Woodsman67 I am attempting my first grow to offset the $$$. My wife needs it. She has not been able to work for 2 years. So far all the doc's have come up with is fibromyalgia. When she does the smallest task such as filling out a form or the dishes her hands arms and legs all spasm and lock up. Anyways they have prescribed many pharmaceuticals which we have tried to stay away from.We have not found a particular strain yet but some are better than others. We got this high CBD Sour Diesel 15% CBD and 7% THC. She said it it instantly numbs her pain. But generally she likes a hard hitting indca for night (sleep better) and a nice mood lifting sativa for daytime use. Good luck and i hope you find some relief!Vivosun 2 X 4 X 5 grow tent

If you cant sleep from the pain and spasms try GG4, Baked Alaska, Alskan thunderfuck etc. For the day if cbd based hemp is legal give it a try. The actual flower not the tabs etc etc. If that doesnt help try mixing say raspberry cough or Nitro Lemon haze with some cbd flowerYou may win the race, but you pass all the best things in life on the way.

I am licensed Medical Cannabis Patient Grower so hemp flower is definitely legal but, I think it lacks the benefits of THC. None of the strains I have tried so far have been CBD rich. Maybe that is something I need to add. Thanks for input Spidermite . Time to shop 😁I bet Bob Marley's mansion

Where he's growing something special
Some celestial homemade hash
we'll sit down on his front porch
And listen to the angels band
Until then I'll sing I'll fly away with a fat onefin my hand

You may also want to look into CBG. It is in all cannabis but you can get strains like Bediol that is high cbd high cbg. Subcool seeds is also working on strains higher in cbg.
We had all our cbd plants tested and AC/DC had the highest cannaboids. However Franklin was lower in total CBD but it had more than twice the cbg. I can tell you for sure that it works great for pain when mixed with a thc strain. Of those two strains that was the only cannaboid higher in the Franklin than the AC/DC. And while the AC/DC works Franklin works better for me.You may win the race, but you pass all the best things in life on the way.
