I was initially delighted to see the return of Sunflower Red earlier this summer because it was a cheap alternative to Nigerian WiFi. However this new batch has neither the body-tingle, taste or price-point of the batch that the DC dispensaries were selling 3 or 4 years ago.

Your milage may vary but Abatin's House Indica might be a better choice if you're looking for an inexpensive strain for pain relief.

This was a nice surprise! I went into H St. Cheddar expecting the usual Cheese body high only to discover some nice psychotropic effects. Good for deep body/joint pain. Sweet but cheesy taste.

Good for day or evening use.

BW is a strong indica-leaning hybrid – a easy smoking cross between White Widow and Classic Blueberry. It’s good for day and evening use and offers a mild psychoactive effect.The WW genetics are helpful if you are trying to manage neuropathy.

Pincher's Creek is good medicine – its Romulan (indica) and Cinderella 99 (sativa) genetics make for a fast-hitting pain reliever. It’s a fruity smoke that just about tilts Leafly’s index of happy, uplifting and euphoric strains. Good for daytime use.

Sour Grapes is a cross between Granddaddy Purple and Sour Diesel. I was looking for an indica and Norelco recommended this. I’m a big fan of Sour Diesel’s aromatic pain-killing properties and it smelled great, so I gave it a shot.

YMMV, but GDP has never had the heavy indica effects that I was after. I prefer Master Kush, Blue Cheese and Bubba Kush for pain. OTOH, GDP is a good medicine if you’re having problems with neuropathy (lack of sensation) in your arms and legs.

Fruity Thai is a great indica that typically smokes the same way that it smells.

A good medicinal strain, it's useful for dealing with a variety of neurological symptoms from fibromyalgia, gastrointestinal disorders, migraines and loss of appetite.

Good for day or evening use. Not too psychoactive but it does give you a mild euphoria.

Ed Rosenthal, like Sour Diesel #4 is one of those “aroma-therapy” sativas that give you a substantial body high.

This easy-smoking strain works its way into those corners of your body that are tightly-wound and irons-out your anxieties. You can tell that Mr. Rosenthal cultivated this plant for medicinal use.

The euphoria is mild but not too psychoactive.

Goji O.G. has a nice honeydew aroma with bergamot notes. Goji OG leaves you both clear-headed and uplifted.. Goji lists your spirits and smells great.

Good for body-ache and inflammation, too! Good as a mixer with just about any other strain, though I'd recommend an indica.

I've always regarded Blue Dream as one of the best strains Metropolitan wellness has to offer. It's soothing indica relaxes what aches you and reduces inflammation.

Highly recommended if you are having vision problems of any kind.

Imagine a strain with the anesthetic qualities of Blueberry Headband and the soothing qualities of Blue Dream: there you have the gist of Blue O.G.

 ike Blue Dream though, it is good for battling iflammation.

Unlike other OGs (Skywalker and Goji) it’s not a euphoric strain, rather a straight-ahead strain that leaves you mellow but relatively clear-headed and functional.

LD is good by itself but better mixed with a substantive indica like Grapefruit Krush.

As you might expect by the name, this strain is full of citrus notes and can be counted on to deliver uplifting psychoactive results.

If that’s so, it has nothing to do with the flavor – there's nothing Occidental about it. Rather, it's got a whiff of Bergamot, like a cup of Earl Grey tea. Good for a body high and pain relief but it the effects lean toward couch-lock. Good with Blue Cheese trim. Not too psychoactive.

MW's Blue Cheese trim is sometimes all you need. It does't carry the full head that the flowers do, but it frequently comes close. Good for mixing with sativas or citrus-flavored strains.

Good with Goji OG, Orange Sunshine and Lemon Drizzle.

Buffalo Soldier is always a good destination if you're looking for an indica-leaning hybrid. Like all other members of the Blueberry strain family, it is a fast-acting strain reliever, good for both day and evening use.

Recommended by itself or mixed with one of MW's inexpensive skunks.

The other inexpensive skunk that MW has to offer doesn’t give you the body-high you’d get with Grapefruit or any relative in the OG Kush family, but it is a nice indica to start with. Slightly sweet and highly aromatic, it mixes nicely with Goji and any other citrus-oriented strain including Star 51 and Critical Mass.

Not to be confused with Pineapple Express.

Ed Rosenthal SB is a very nice antidepressant strain. It is an Indica/Sativa hybrid that is uplifting, similar to Kasimu & The Cowboy. This is a strain that will get you out of your rut and ease your spirits, if not a dose of inspiration. Highly recommended.

There are at least 2 strains of The Purps and I chose the strain with more THC. This was very good for winding down in the evening and getting some rest. As the color suggests, The Purps tend to be a heavy-indica, good for eliminating body aches and helping you get to sleep.

I've been visiting Metropolitan Wellness on Capitol Hill for a little over a year now and Blue Dream is always a good hybrid to pick up if they have it in stock. It is typically very soothing, without putting you to sleep. Good for pain and vision problems.

Buffalo Soldier is a heavy indica that will iron out just about any anxiety or body ache that you might have, though you may want to mix it with a sativa (e.g. Sour Diesel, Lemon OG or Skywalker) to clear your head. Highly recommended.

Kasimu & The Cowboy is a very effective antidepressant strain. Like Ed Rosenthal Superbud, it turns things around within about 15 minutes of medication. Highly recommended if you are fighting depression. It seems to be YA strain special to District Growers because there doesn't seem to be much literature on it.

Berry O is a middle-weight Indica that will relieve body-aches and help you sleep if you choose to medicate with it that way. It will make you a little foggy-headed, so it's probably best for evening use or mixed with a citrus-noted strain (Star 51, Lemon Skunk) if you want to remain active.

S.A.G.E. (hereafter SAGE) is great used as a base or filler when medicating a more potent strain. SAGE is psychotropically neutral, so its arguably safe to use if you need to keep your head on your shoulders in the middle of a busy workday. Some batches tend to be more aromatic than others. Regard SAGE as a medicinal strain that can be used to stretch either your Indicas or Sativas since it's typically a less expensive 50/50 strain.
