As someone who has to deal with both insomnia and excruciating menstrual cramps (hello endometriosis!) Black Domina is pretty much a lifesaver. It's almost narcotic in its effects: eliminates pain, and knocks me out so I can actually get a decent night's sleep.

This is now one of the best strains I've ever tried. I get really bad insomnia, but after just a couple of hits of Kosher Kush, I fall fast asleep in the sweetest way imaginable. Euphoria hits first: like a liquid wave of joy and unconditional love for everything in the freaking universe. Then absolute relaxation washes over me, eliminating any pain, muscle aches, or stress. Next thing I know, it's about 8 hours later and I've had an incredible night's sleep. Even my dreams are inspiring.

This is such a beautiful strain: the perfect indica. Great for pain relief and insomnia, and so help me after 2 hits I went through an entire episode of Rick and Morty and am only now starting to be able to feel my legs again.

This is my new favourite indica strain EVER. Omg. Instantly gets rid of menstrual cramps, arthritis pain, anxiety... it's just this gorgeous, contented high that eliminates any kind of physical discomfort, but sparks creativity. All I want to do right now is draw or paint or write a symphony or something. Damn.

What a beautiful strain. Definitely woodsy and peppery tasting, and provides pretty much instant pain relief and muscle relaxation without any mind fog. I stay really clearheaded with Pennywise (even focused and creative), but it basically stopped my menstrual cramps. Great for migraines too.

I'm normally not a huge fan of sativa-dominant strains because they make me paranoid, so I was surprised at how well I reacted to Jack Herer. For me, it's an ideal daytime strain to smoke: it's a "happy high" that alleviates anxiety and stress, and is really great for both concentration and socializing. I can focus well on my work (or clean my house and truly enjoy the process), and generally just feel uplifted and super creative.

One of the best strains available for pain relief and anti-inflammatory effects. Practically eliminates chronic pain without any brain fog or paranoia.

Probably my favourite indica strain. It's amazing for pain relief (joint pain, menstrual cramps, migraines), as well as anxiety and insomnia. Smoked just before bed, it relaxes me into a deep, comfortable sleep and inspires incredible dreams. Can't recommend this highly enough.
