Rare Darkness

Some enthusiasts argue that it is a cross between Rare Dankness #1 and OG Ghost Train Haze. Rare Darkness is known for its high THC content, averaging around 22%, but can sometimes reach up to 24%. The strain is composed of 70% indica and 30% sativa.

Rare Darkness is renowned for its relaxing and calming effects, making it a popular choice for those seeking relief from stress and anxiety. However, due to its potent psychoactive effects, it is advised that beginners approach this strain with caution. The high THC content in Rare Darkness may also make it beneficial for those dealing with chronic pain, insomnia, and loss of appetite. The strain is characterized by its unique flavor profile, which combines sweet, spicy, and earthy notes with a hint of grape.

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.
