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.

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.

Organ Systems

  • Brain & Nervous System
Depression

Cannabis, specifically its components like CBD and THC, has been shown to help with depression by interacting with the endocannabinoid system in our bodies. This system is responsible for regulating various functions, including mood.

The cannabinoids in cannabis can help stabilize mood and ease depression by boosting the endocannabinoid system. Some research suggests that cannabis can increase serotonin levels, a neurotransmitter that plays a significant role in mood regulation.

Organ Systems

  • Brain & Nervous System
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.

Organ Systems

  • Mental / Emotional
  • Brain & Nervous System

As with any cannabis strain, dosing Purple People Eater should be done with caution, especially for beginners or those with a low tolerance.

Always consult with a healthcare professional or a cannabis expert if you’re unsure.
