Cannabis and Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is an issue many face in the winter time, despite their age. It's more prevalent the more the temperature drops. This is because when the temperature drops, so does the barometric pressure. When that happens it's common for a person to start feeling more stiff and achy. Sometimes those suffering from specific chronic pain like arthritis can find themselves facing trouble even leaving their home, which in term can isolate many. Once isolation happens, the winter blues can happen. Unfortunately, it's a domino effect. This is why it's extremely beneficial to find something that can help with those winter pains.

One thing that can aid in managing chronic pain is cannabis. This plant is known to help with inflammation as well as with pain relief. If you prefer the classic approach of smoking, indica can be a good choice of strain to enjoy. It is known to help relieve pain. Indica and indica dominant strains can also help with sleep management as well. We all know how lack of sleep can make our chronic pains even worse. Sleep is a very fundamental thing to maintain, especially during these colder months.

There are many ways to use cannabis for medicinal purposes when trying to ease chronic pains. One of them being either in edible form or drinkables. The best way to do that, is by micro dosing. When you micro dose, you take smaller and fewer bites until you reach your desired effect. If you prefer a more subtle approach, adding tinctures to your morning smoothie or juice is also another way to manage your chronic pains before you leave your house to take on your day. In those cases sativa or sativa dominant tinctures is the way to do it. This is because the sativa effect could energize you to be proactive but also quiet your chronic pains temporarily.
