Hi, before i order any seed, i wanted to ask if you guys could direct me to any specific strain that would be more suitable for epileptics. I am epileptic, and i have noticed that marijuana help me a lot preventing me form having seizures. I need something that'll be giving more the stoned and relaxed feeling rather than something that'll blow myself high up [no excitation stuffs]. Just something that'll smoothen up the mind.

also, i live in a tropical island, lots of sun and all, what do you advise me? white widow?

Well there are several strains to choose from. Most are a mix of indica and sativa.
Keep in mind the fact that sativa is more of a head high and Indica is more of a body stone.

When you first read that you think you want sativa right? Well let me tell you the head high might not be what you want. I have had gran mall seizures for over 30 years and I found indica strain to relax me better.

Little tip, wait untill the trichomes have turned mostly amber before harvesting any strain you get for more of a body stone.

Enjoy

logical check this site out:

"Extracts of Cannabis sativa have a long history in the treatment of various neurological diseases, including epilepsy. However, cannabinoids have been reported to exert both pro- and anti-convulsive activities"

I thought for sure a strong indica too, but the cause of the seisures is neurological, so sativa.

There's a list on the forum somewhere with strains that have been known to help different med problems, damned if I can find it but I'll keep looking if someone else doesn't post it first.

Here's a great site:

Apollo 11
Lineage: C'99 x Genius (Jack Herer) / [shivaskunk x JH f2] x shivaskunk
Breeder: Brothers Grimm
Flowering period: 45-55 days
Yield: Average to good
This is a great sativa for those who don’t have the time for a plant like Haze. It tends to be very branchy, but it’s very forgiving to grow, and has a remarkably short flowering period for such a sativa plant. It has an up, creative high and a lemony taste.
Recommended for: epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and other seizure-related illnesses

Something like Trainwreck, or as you first suggested - White Widow, might give you both sativa high and indica stone in one, otherwise - or as well - grow 2 strains.

Trainwreck Effect: Like the name suggests, a real blast. It hits fast, and it hits hard. Stoney on the body, confusing and trippy on the brain. A truly powerful smoke.
