Pai Gow

Pai Gow is a balanced hybrid strain that crosses the classic Purple Diesel and Starship strains. With a THC level that typically falls between 15-20%, Pai Gow is perfect for users of all experience levels.

The strain (cultivar) provides a very relaxing and uplifting high with well-balanced effects that won’t cause sedation. The high starts with a euphoric lift that boosts your mood and makes you happy and content. As this high builds, you’ll start to feel a sense of calm that is incredibly relaxing and slightly sedative in nature, which can lead to deep and peaceful sleep.

Pai Gow is often chosen to treat conditions such as chronic pain, depression, chronic stress or anxiety, and insomnia. This bud has a sweet and spicy herbal flavor with a hint of tangy lime and an aroma to match. Pai Gow buds have fluffy round dark olive green nugs with rich purple undertones, fiery orange hairs, and a coating of bright white crystal trichomes.

Inflammation

Cannabis contains two key compounds: CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Both of these compounds have anti-inflammatory properties. They work by interacting with the endocannabinoid system in the body, which regulates various functions, including immune response and inflammation. By activating certain receptors in this system, cannabis can help reduce inflammation and alleviate associated pain and discomfort. Some studies have also shown that cannabis can suppress the immune system’s inflammatory response, further helping to reduce inflammation.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

Cannabis, specifically its compounds like CBD and THC, has been shown to help with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) in several ways. Firstly, it can help to improve sleep quality, which is often a major issue for those with CFS. Secondly, cannabis has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce the inflammation often associated with CFS. It can also help to reduce pain and improve mood, both of which can be beneficial for those suffering from CFS. Lastly, cannabis can help to increase appetite, which can be beneficial for those with CFS who often struggle with low appetite or weight loss. However, more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and risks of using cannabis for CFS.

Loss of Appetite

Cannabis, specifically its active compounds THC and CBD, are known to stimulate appetite. THC interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which regulates a variety of bodily functions, including appetite. It binds to cannabinoid receptors in the brain, triggering a hunger response. CBD also aids in appetite stimulation by reducing symptoms of underlying conditions that may cause loss of appetite, such as anxiety, stress, and pain.

  • Endocrine

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.
