Cannabis has become an essential tool for many seeking relief from a variety of medical conditions. Understanding the proper methods of consumption and how cannabis can help with specific symptoms can ensure that you achieve the best possible outcomes and desired experiences.
In this blog, we’ll cover the conditions cannabis can potentially help.
What Common Conditions Can Cannabis Potentially Alleviate?
Especially with the ongoing legalization of cannabis in states like New Mexico and California, there has been a significant increase in research trials and clinical studies exploring the efficacy of cannabis and its numerous cannabinoids. This surge in scientific investigation aims to understand the therapeutic potential and safety profile of cannabis, as well as the various effects induced by each specific compound.
Researchers are delving into a wide range of cannabinoids, such as THC, CBD, CBN, and others, to elucidate their individual and combined impacts on human health.
Available at our California dispensary and beyond, there are plenty of unique and innovative cannabis brands and products to come from the plant’s researched effects! Cannabis is known for elevating one’s health and wellness, with its potential to help with a range of conditions and symptoms, including:
Chronic Pain & Muscle Spasms
Psychoactive cannabinoids like THC interact with our endocannabinoid system (ECS) when consumed, sending a range of unique signals and responses to receptors and nerves in this system.
Chronic pain conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis have shown that THC and CBD can help reduce muscle spasms and alleviate associated pain.
This intricate interaction between potent cannabinoids like THC and brain or nerve receptors in our ECS help to signal and ease pain felt in the body. This makes cannabis effective in managing conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and migraines.
Anxiety & Stress
In addition to a little bit of THC, non-psychoactive cannabinoids like CBD and CBG have been proven to promote relaxation and improve mood. By similarly binding with our ECS system, instead, these cannabinoids work to manage any heightened levels of stress or responses in your nervous system. Those who suffer from PTSD have found CBD to help decrease anxiety levels and promote lighter thinking and relaxation.
The right cannabinoid ratio or product can help to manage stress levels and keep you cool and calm throughout a hectic day.
Insomnia
Indica strains are infamous for their “couch lock” effect, but there’s one cannabinoid that you can solely lean on to knock you into Zzz’s! CBN (cannabinol) is a non-psychoactive compound similar to CBD that heavily soothes and sedates our mind and body through its interaction with our ECS. These effects make this cannabinoid very well known as a supplemental source to improving sleep quality so you can fall and stay asleep.
Nausea & Appetite
There’s been much research to support the idea of cannabis reducing symptoms of nausea and stimulating appetite. These effects of cannabis benefit those undergoing chemotherapy and severe nausea, or dealing with eating disorders.
Epilepsy
Due to the soothing and calming properties of CBD, clinical studies have discovered that forms of CBD oil promise to reduce seizures’ frequency and severity. Epidiolex is the first and only FDA-approved drug derived from the hemp cannabinoid, CBD.
