What Medical Marijuana Strain is Right For Me?
First, let me introduce you to the main things you need to know about strains (when buying seeds online for your particular symptoms)
Indica, Sativa, Ruderalis, Oh My!
According to wikipedia, "Cannabis sativa is an annual herbaceous plant in the Cannabaceae family."
Sidenote: All "strains" of marijuana, including hemp, are sometimes technically still considered varieties of the plant "Cannabis Sativa." Scientifically, these are not different "strains" of marijuana as much as they are "varieties" of the plant Cannabis Sativa. This is confusing sometimes, because people will talk about "Sativa" varieties of Cannabis Sativa as well as "Indica" varieties of Cannabis Sativa. This isn't important to the grower, but sometimes you'll run into someone who argues about the proper language, and understanding the distinction between what science says and what growers say will help you.
In the common language, we have differentiated the different varieties or "strains" of marijuana because each one grows differently, contains different cannabinoid profiles, and has different effects on people.
These facts are what's most important to the grower.
The Indica variety of marijuana tends to grow short and bushy, with wide/fat leaves. The buds produced by Indica plants tend to cause a more heavy and relaxing effect, known as a "body high", and can cause people to feel "couchlocked."
Indica plants tend to be well-suited to grow indoors because of their shape and Indica buds are especially suited to relieve insomnia, muscle tension, nausea, lack of appetite, anxiety, body pain, and depression.
The Sativa variety of marijuana tends to grow tall and lanky, with thin, fingerlike leaves. Sativas also generally have a longer flowering period and grow buds that are more airy and less dense than from an Indica.
The buds from a Sativa plant cause more of an "in your head" high, sometimes psychedelic, sparking creativity, uplifting your mood, and even can be energizing for some people. Sativa varieties of marijuana are often better suited to growing outdoors as they can grow to 20 feet or more in height. While an indoor grower can use growth control methods to control the height and shape of the plant, a full Sativa can be tough for an indoor grower with limited space. Therefore, many indoor growers who love the Sativa effects will opt for a hybrid that carries the same bud properties, but has been bred to be easier for indoor growing.
Well-loved by artists, Sativas are especially suited to relieve depression, migraines and certain types of pain, while being more "day-friendly" and energizing than many pure Indicas.
The Haze variety is often considered a type of Sativa, or at least Sativa-dominant, yet Hazes have a few unique properties all their own. The genetics of this strain are a combination of Sativas originally from Mexico, Colombia, Thailand and India.
Hazes tend to have psychedelic and uplifting effects, and Haze plants have contributed genetics to many famous strains such as Super Lemon Haze, Northern Lights, and Jack Herer. Hazes tend to have very long flowering periods, though stay shorter and are easier to grow indoors than a pure Sativa.
The Ruderalis variety
of marijuana that was once known as 'ditchweed.' With no psychoactive properties on its own, pure Ruderalis plants have been mixed with other strains because of one unique property... Unlike most strains of marijuana, Ruderalis or Auto-Flowering strains will naturally go into flowering on their own, without the need for the 12-12 light change to let the plant "know" it's time to start flowering.
Basically, a Ruderalis plant will go through its whole lifecycle in about 3 months, regardless of what you do as a grower. This can be bad if you'd like to harvest big yields, but can be convenient since Ruderalis plants tend to stay very short and are well-suited to small, indoor spaces.
A Hybrid is any combination of the cannabis varieties listed above. Hybrids make up the majority of all the strains you will encounter or be able to buy today.
A Note About Ruderalis/Auto-Flowering Plants and CBD
Ruderalis strains tend to be less "potent" with THC than other strains of marijuana, since original Ruderalis plants had basically zero THC. In recent times, many strains have been developed that have nearly comparable THC levels, which maintaining the auto-flowering characteristics of Ruderalis.
Another unique property of Ruderalis strains is, like hemp, these strains tend to have higher levels of CBD which have many implications for medical uses such as anti-anxiety.

I have not personally grown with auto-flowering strains, and I've heard mixed reviews. Some love them, some hate them. However, for someone interested in easily obtaining a high-CBD strain, you may be interested in investigating these further.
Note: Feminized seeds just means that the seeds have been particularly bred to product all-female plants. Regular seeds will end up being about half male and half female. Other than that, there are few differences.

For those who are interested in the medical benefits of marijuana, smoking might not be the best choice.
Some prefer edibles, though edibles often take a long time to take effect, and it can be extremely difficult getting the dosage right without making your own and doing lots of experimentation...
For those who want to take a more health conscious approach to their medicine, yet want the quick delivery and easy dosing of smoking, vaporizing is a great solution!
