Good strain for work???

Hello RIU people,
I work in construction and have been addicted to opiates for many years now. I'm slowly detoxing from methadone and I have been using our favorite plant to ease my transition. I'm looking for a strain that has the sativa up qualities as well as the body numbing indica traits without getting my legs chopped out from under me ... Any ideas?

haha well i dont think you should be blazing if you work in constuction but thats just my thaught

A nice hybrid maybe a little more on the sativa side ask your local club for their recommendation.

well...not everyone has a "club" they can go to. unless there in cali or colorado or one of those places (maybe he is...I'm just saying). as for a strain...I found white rhino can be a suprisingly energetic high while still creating a nice body high (if it's harvested a little early). Oh and by the way...dj southpaw rocks.

try grape krush
i am fully advocating it
it has a nice sweet fruity taste, it then gives a nice REALLY UP HIGH but not so fast ur in awe of ur high just like this is great stuff but u will not want to move smoing it
btw avoid sour diesel like the plague since u do destruction which will actually make u forget the last things u did and numb basic senses it really is no joke (i loved it tho not as much as grape krush still lol

OMG...dude...I smoked sour diesal tonight, and thats EXACTLY what was happening to me. I could rememeber the last thing I was saying and it felt like I was freaking paralyzed all over. Don't get me wrong...I loved it!!! but ya...definatly not for construction.

I KNO RIGHT? it's insane i swear i almost tipped the bong water THAT WOULD OF SUCKED!!!!
it's the only strain that hits u like a train and still put u 2 sleep

Try Strawberry Cough its predominatley Sativa 75-80%. Has a real nice energizing high but gives you a slight body high to keep you relaxed, very nice stuff.

HMMMM.....
Grape Krush
White Rhino
Strawberry Cough

Thank you for your suggestions all three sound like excellent additions to my garden . Haven't heard much about Grape Krush. Is it available in seed form? I've been looking for a good reason to pick up Strawberry Cough. As for the Rhino, that's definitely a strain I will be picking up soon. However, everything that I've read about Rhino is that it's a knock down drag out kind of buzz, but I can see how harvesting when the trichs are mostly milky could make it more energetic. As for local clubs, that's out. Unfortunately, I'm not one of the lucky ones who live in Cali or Colo (east coast baby). Finally, regarding smoking at work. Let me put this into perspective, if you were to go to most construction sites tomorrow and make everyone that smokes on the job go home all construction would come to a screeching halt. Some food for thought

wow thats tough to doi feel for ya man,it is the toughest thing i ever detoxed from,but unfortunately i have not found any pot that really doesnt make you groggy during a hard day on contruction.i found opiates(much pain)didnt lessen my work drive a whole lot but it did some,pot made me want to kick back half way through the day,usually when i got hot,but all the luck to you man kicking methadone,because that shit gets into your bones,but i dont have to tell you that.

the one i had was grown from clone there is one site that offers it and that's docter chronic however many have said dr chronic has turned to scamming now so it may be hard to find but if u do well i'll be ur first tester lol
but if ur determined 2 get it try to find the seedbank who made it then see if they have a site

Yeah there is a few of those clone-only strains I would love to get my hands on ...

No weed is good. Its like drinking on the job.

Actually it's nothing like drinking at all. I don't know what you do for a living but I am a construction worker. I know for a fact that different strains affect people in different ways. I know myself well enough to know that for the most part I can enjoy sativa dominant strains far more than indica dominant strains. Why? Because sativa dominant strains tend to make the user feel energetic, focused, clear minded and very conducive to creativity .

On the other hand, I would never knowingly use an indica dominant strain for anything that involved more than standing up. Of course , with the exception of an indica strain harvested while the majority of trichs were still milky. Every strain has it's place. I only use indicas for pain and / or insomnia.
