Medical Applications

Chronic Pain, Muscle Pain and Other Types of Pain

Cannabis contains compounds known as cannabinoids, with the most well-known being delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). These compounds interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating pain.

THC has analgesic properties that can help reduce pain, while CBD can help reduce inflammation, a common cause of many types of pain. Additionally, cannabis can help improve sleep, which can, in turn, help manage chronic pain conditions. Some studies have shown that medical cannabis can help replace or reduce the use of opioids for pain management.

Insomnia

Cannabis, specifically strains high in THC, can induce drowsiness and help reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. Additionally, the relaxing effects of cannabis can help manage anxiety and stress, common contributors to insomnia. Some research also suggests that cannabis can help regulate sleep patterns. However, long-term use may potentially alter sleep cycles, so it should be used under medical supervision.

Anxiety, Panic Disorders

CBD (cannabidiol) has been shown to help with anxiety and panic disorders by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system.

This system is involved in regulating a variety of functions, including sleep, appetite, pain, and immune system response. CBD may help to reduce stress and anxiety by enhancing endocannabinoid signaling, which can help to regulate mood and fear.

It can also interact with serotonin receptors in the brain, which play a key role in anxiety disorders. Some studies have shown that CBD can reduce symptoms in people with various anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder.

Dosing

This strain is quite potent, so you might want to begin with just one or two puffs if you’re smoking or vaping. If you’re using edibles or tinctures, start with a low dose, around 5-10mg of THC. Wait for at least an hour to see how it affects you before taking more. Always remember, it’s easier to take more if you need it, but you can’t undo a dose that’s too strong. Listen to your body and adjust your dosage accordingly.
