12. I suffer from IBS and have severe cramping.

I also suffer from spine problems and arthritis. I have been using ACDC, which is one of the strains that research is being done on for medical purposes. It is a hybrid with a very high concentration of CBD and low THC. I have found it very effective for both my cramping and my back pain. For sleep, you will want an Indica as well. Your local dispensary can probably recommend one that will work. When my pain was more severe, I used Purple Urcle (an Indica) at night to help me sleep along with Harlequin (a Sativa-dominant strain which I used during the day: very effective but more psychoactive than ACDC because it has a higher THC content). I would recommend that you get the free web application Leafly: it is a goldmine of information about different strains of cannabis and their medical uses. I hope this helps; good luck!
