Cannabis: Pain Relief
While medical science plows a fertile ground for research, anecdotal evidence suggests there are many cannabis strains that may help with pain relief, depending on the type and severity of your pain and your personal preferences. Check with your Novel Tree budtender about the availability of specific products. We’re here to help!
Some general guidelines for choosing a cannabis strain for pain relief are:
Consider the terpene profile of the strain, as some terpenes may have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, or mood-boosting properties. For example, caryophyllene is a common terpene that may help reduce pain and inflammation.
Experiment with different strains and dosages to find what works best for you, as everyone’s experience with cannabis may vary. Start low and go slow, especially if you are new to cannabis or have a low tolerance.
