Hey,

For what it's worth, a strong SATIVA works best for my longstanding whiplash pain. White Widow has been my favorite.

That's just for my specific thing though, which is a pinched-nerve type of pain (really sharp and stabbing). This is my main use of mmj.

If I happen to have a more standard back pain (like if I hurt one of the healthy parts of my back by lifting something) then an indica works better. So it seems that sativas kill neuropathic pain better, while indicas sooth muscle-based pain.

Like you, I used to go for vicodin or codeine for the worst pain, but since I've started mmj I never touch the pills. MMJ works better and has fewer side effects (ie. sleepiness and nothing else). The laws in this country are butt-stupid; I'm just thankful I live in LA where the local government at least marginally allows me to cure my pain. Sorry if I offend the feds by not feeling all the pain god intended for me.
