Best strain for episodic migraine/headache treatment?

Post by InLoveWithKerouac »

Hey. Well, I suppose the title is sorta self explanatory :)

I get these migraine/headache attacks once in like 3 months. It's not as painful as it is annoying if you know what I mean. Not to say that it doesn't hurt at all, though. All in all, I would consider it as moderate I guess.
Which strain(s) do you think would work best in this case?
One more thing, I don't want to get absolutely baked since I usually have a pretty hectic study load (and weed makes me feel retarded the next day), so please keep this in mind :) I mean, is there like a "clean-ish" strain that doesn't make you feel groggy-foggy the next morning?

P.S. I live in A'dam so feel free to include specific coffeeshops with your suggestions :)

Your input is appreciated guys.
Thanks.

I reckon oil, afghan kush and herijuana all fail badly on the 'not getting too baked' bit :roll:

I'd be more inclined to go for something like Orange Bud or Kali Mist. Preferably in a vape.

Or Ibuprofen :wink:

Oil hits on a nail are so similar to a vape its untrue so just got to disagree with that infact the benefits of oil i rate so highly i would rather have oil than bud. You dont want to sit toking low grade bud for hours with a pounding head (I get them alot), you need a quick fix which oil and nails provide.
Sorry to blow your expert opinion :roll: on oil out the water as you seem to be the expert :roll: :lol:

Migraines are caused by different things. The reason you get your migraines will determine which strain will be most effective. Sometimes a sativa such as trainwreck will help me, but other times an indica such as romulan does the trick. My sister-in-law gets relief from la confidential. Some experimentation may be necessary to find the strain which works best for you. Try asking a budtender, they may be able to steer you in the right direction. Good luck in your quest. Myself and many others do feel your pain.

I honestly dont think smoking anything is a good idea for treating a headache (especially a migraine) as any resulting cough will just make it worse, I'd look into eating a cake or something, Paradox's are about the best in Amsterdam.

i always smoke to get rid of headaches or other aches.

when i have a headache ,i useally smoke White Widow , powerplant or sumthing like dat.
I'm dutch so i useally smoke with tabacco in it , but when i have a headache tabacco only makes things worse
so i smoke pure at those times
