Understanding Cannabis and Pain Management

Cannabis contains compounds known as cannabinoids, including THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (Cannabidiol). Together, these compounds interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, which is responsible for maintaining homeostasis, which involves pain sensation.

THC is the psychoactive compound that gives the "high" feeling, while CBD is non-psychoactive and is known for its potential therapeutic effects, including pain relief.

Selecting the Right Strain

Each strain has a unique combination of cannabinoids and terpenes, which are aromatic compounds that contribute to the plant's smell and taste. These differences in chemical composition can significantly affect the strain's therapeutic effects, making some strains better at treating pain management than others. That’s why understanding the genetic makeup of a strain is crucial for achieving effective pain management.
