I recommend that you google indica strains, jot down a list of the strains that are either pure indica or mostly indica. Take that list with you when you go shopping. Indica is for pain relief and muscle relaxation. Sativa will energize you.
Just go slowly and carefully.:eek:

Does everyone agree with the indica recomendation? also i feel a bit reserved for fear of comprrimising cognition/memory. Now heres a plant that deserves clinical trials aand research!

I find that extreme lack of sleep pretty much destroys my cognition and memory. Without pot or sleeping pills, I'm lucky to get 2 hours of sleep in a row. Additionally, when I wake up, I need to take my carbi/Levo thus pushing my daily intake up. I try my best to keep my use of Carbi/Levo down as much as I possibly can.
I've had scrips for all kinds of sleeping pills and I hate them all. They all have me groggy and running into the walls the next day. Pot doesn't do that. I sleep and wake up nice and clear headed.
Not being a smoker, I prefer to not smoke. But, as I said before, I'm a bit wary of edibles because the strength is so unreliable. I have had a good experience with what they refer to as concentrates. They are generally tinctures often mixed with something that improves the taste, like honey. The ones I get are in dropper bottles so you can go one drop at a time until you find your best dose. You also can use these without calling a lot of attention to what you are doing.
I personally do not like the feeling of being "high" so I don't care for sativa. My use of pot is strictly to relax, relieve muscle cramps, relieve pain and sleep. To that end, indica works for that.
Here is a website that suggests specific strains for your desired effect
