Medical Applications

Purple Tide is often sought for its potential in relieving chronic pain and stress.

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.

Dosing

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

Start with a small amount, such as a single puff or a small edible portion, and wait at least an hour to assess the effects before taking more. Always consult with a healthcare professional or a cannabis expert if you’re unsure.
