My favorite overall strain. Very narcotic, tingly body buzz. Very uplifting and relax head high helps you relax while your body pain melts away.
My strains for pain so far:
1. Purple Arrow - Like it's name suggests it targets pain very quickly, and you can still mow the lawn or paint a portrait immediately after medicating. No real plateau, and no need to smoke into oblivion. Slightly lower in THC than most strains these days, and that's fine with me. Also very productive.
2. East Coast Sour Diesel - Great to toke when drinking your morning coffee and reading the news (back pain free). A very CLEAR high. Watch out, though. This high has no plateau, and you will be too high to function on anything other than vedging out if you smoke too much.
3. Hell's OG (f.k.a. Hell's Angel OG) - The best "knock you out" strain pretty much ever. Great for killing pain but get ready to CRAWL into bed or lay on the couch shortly after. Too much of this strain will first put you into an almost LSD-like psychedelic high. Great for sleepless PTSD after the first 15-20 minutes. If you suffer from Pain/Insomnia/PTSD this is the greatest stuff ever.
4. Trainwreck - Also great for pain, but first 20 minutes is pure psychedelia before targeting pain and slowing down to a more Indica-type high. Will also put you to sleep after about 90 minutes.
I would live happy with a lifetime supply of these 4 herbs. No specific order except for PA which I consider Pain Enemy #1.
5. Gorilla Glue - Great smoke, great high. Might put you to sleep after 90 minutes or so. I almost left this out just because there are better strains for pain out there. But also, a good pain strain, and also good for insomnia.
Just my $0.02...

Well well. Isn't that a deep subject? And isn't this one heck of a nicely balanced product indeed. It comes on slowly but doesn't feel like a creeper. Nor does it hit all at once. More so, it feels like it has stages. The first stage is, "hmm, nothing, I'll take another hit". The second stage is, oh that just tastes good, is smooth, and feels nice so I'm going to take another just because its nice." Third stage - well well, isn't this one heck of a nicely balanced product. :) This may very well be my favorite, running a close race with Blue Dream. The body is relaxed, the mind is open and quiet yet attentive. The need to rush disappears. Colors seem a bit more vivid. Overall, a fine selection for me. Your mileage may vary of course, as always.
One of the best most potent strains of bud I have ever smoked. I am an avid smoked with a high tolerance (no pun intended) and this shit knocked me on my ass in 3 hits off thr pipe. This strain is popular in the puget sound region but this is a bud you just gotta give a chance but be warned; the purple arrow of the Cannabis Huntress may strike right in your forhead.

Personal Strain comments: Large banded crystal formations. Secretion density (19smm) around the outer edges making it look like its about to freeze.
Very relaxing and helps with headaches. I like that it doesn't feel too stoney. I tend to use this when Blue Dream doesn't work or I've had BD too recently and i need to switch it up. The only downside is the voracious appetite I get. The word "munchies" doesn't even describe it. Most strains actually don't give me the munchies. I guess I've been lucky that way. One hour in, Purple Arrow makes me feel like I didn't eat all day, even though I just had three squares. A day of meticulously counted calories goes out the window and I HAVE to eat. Two-hours in, I suddenly feel so tired that I can't keep my eyes open and I have to drag myself to bed. This is OK but I'm not generally looking for a sleep aid - that's not my issue. But really, if I've prepared for both of these outcomes in advance, PA makes a great pain reliever without any anxiety or paranoia, which is paramount for me in any strain.
The first sentence of the strain description is exactly correct: When it comes to knocking out pain, NO medical strain hits the target quite like Purple Arrow.
Or comes anywhere close.
I have severe pain from lumbar arthritis, and I swear, Purple Arrow makes me think I have cannabinoid receptors in my back. The pain relieving/anti-inflammatory properties of this strain come mostly from the Black Domina side of the family, while the pleasant-but-not-overwhelming head buzz comes from the Permafrost side.
Really, really fine Purple Arrow is unquestionably the best weed I've ever had, and I will go well out of way to get it. But beware: sometimes, what's sold as Purple Arrow is actually Permafrost. TRUE Purple Arrow had a very distinct "bite" to its smell, also from it's Black Domnia ancestry.
I have extreme spine and neck pain. This is one of the only strains that really doe something right away. I seek this strain out just for this purpose.
