Pain is one of the most common reasons patients use medical cannabis, and it works. Medical cannabis is effective on several forms of pain, including pain caused by inflammation, headaches, muscle soreness, neuropathy, spinal injury, fibromyalgia or cramps. The type and intensity of pain, as well as the person’s unique physiology all, play a role in how effective medical marijuana might be on treating pain.
More and more, patients are using medical marijuana to obtain relief from chronic pain. Some strains of cannabis are more suited to ease the pain. In general, there are two main strains of cannabis – indica and sativa. Then, there are a whole host of hybrid strains. In general, indica strains are better for pain management because these strains have an overall sedative effect.
There are also many different applications of cannabis that can be tried, such as smoking or vaping, oils, creams, topical, edibles, and transdermal patches. No matter what method you use, here are a few strains that are very effective for pain.
– ACDC is a very effective painkilling strain that uses both CBD and THC in an entourage effect to give a one-two punch to knock out your pain.
– Blackberry Kush is a THC-dominant strain that will make you feel blissful and euphoric. You will feel your pain lift from your body. This strain’s sweet berry flavor helps to make you pain-free.
– Harlequin is a great strain for getting rid of the pain without creating a foggy mind. Because it is a high CBD strain, it does not produce the hallucinogenic effect that THC does. As such, many patients use this to medicate during the day.
