Medical Applications

The Purple Tangie strain brings some remarkable therapeutic potential. Its uplifting and energy-boosting effects can help manage stress, depression, and anxiety effectively.

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.

Muscle Spasms

Cannabis contains two active chemicals, THC and CBD, that are believed to have medicinal applications. THC can help decrease pain and inflammation, and CBD can help control spasms. These chemicals may also help control the immune system and work on the body’s natural endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate functions like sleep, pain, and immune system responses. Therefore, cannabis may help reduce the frequency and severity of muscle spasms.

Dosing

As with any cannabis strain, dosing Purple Tangie should be done cautiously, especially for beginners or those with a low tolerance. Start with a small amount and wait for the effects to kick in before deciding to consume more. It’s also important to consider the method of consumption, as smoking, vaping, or consuming edibles can result in different intensities and durations of effects. Always consult with a healthcare professional or a knowledgeable dispensary staff member if unsure.
