Awesome maybe you know what I've been trying to find out: is it a sativa or an indica strain you using? And even better, you have an edible form - who makes it?

I have tried smoking a few times, and it worked a number of times and then 3 times in a row it made the RLS worse so I stopped. I found out later that one of the varieties I used was sativa-dominant and the other was an indica, but I promptly forgot which was which.

I want to try it again, only not smoking, so I was about to begin the dual process of finding out which strain to use and finding a supplier of an edible form who actually paid attention to which strain went into the edible product. Maybe you can help?

OK - I know now it's Sativa strains that work for RLS; and to avoid Indicas at all costs. (see my thread sativa vs indica). I'd still like to know more about your "medicated candy".

Yup, eating didn't't work for me. Too hard to adjust the dose, maybe. I'm not sure the exact problem.
